Speaking of taunt animations, I'm working on one for the sniper. It's not very fancy, but I thought it would line up ever since I saw those polaroid pictures of targets in the meet the sniper video.

Just blocking poses for now, trying to nail down the timing before I start refining poses and then switching to curves.
So far, rough blocking tells me it's about 109 odd frames, which is bound to change once I set down to refining.

Hmmm, I'd switch the handness if you can. Sniper most likely draws with his right hand, seeing as he shoots, throws, and swings with his right. It might be just a line, but it's a little detail.
Also, lets you make him pull a bullet pen from his pocket instead of from his invisible pocket.

I'd happily make this if i could use the advice below, so he stands instead and that he whips it the box from behind him.

Interesting points!
On this note, could someone tell me what the relationship is between the watch wearing hand and the dominant hand?
I'm a lefty but I also wear my watch on my left hand and know a few who do the same, which is why I wasn't paying attention to what might be a fundamental flaw (doy!)
What do you guys think?

I'd give it a bit more flourish. The core idea is great but right now it seems very stiff and subtle. TF2 isn't stiff, or subtle, you need him to make a big show of pulling out the photos, crossing them off and then perhaps admiring his work a bit - perfect opportunity for a voice line - then put them back.

I think Sniper wears his watch on his non-dominate hand so that he can check the time when he's holding his rifle. Beyond that, I doubt it matters which hand you wear it on.

Yeah, no worries - I usually block out the basic pose first and start fiddling with the finer spacing and timing to make it a little snappier. I usually end up reworking a few poses in the process to push the rig a bit.
I hadn't thought of the admiring handiwork bit - will add that in and thanks for the great suggestion!
Still waiting on the soldier necksnap killtaunt guys. You know you want it.
[QUOTE=Lium;45389271]Still waiting on the soldier necksnap killtaunt guys. You know you want it.[/QUOTE]
Here is my thoughts on the taunt:
- You can activate it voluntarilary by tapping a button. Suggest a button if you want.
- If the soldier does the taunt, but does not grab anyone in his reach, the taunt will end.
- If the soldier grabs a team mate, he'll put them in a harsh headlock, but then playfully lets them go, the team mate nervously laughing at the "joke".
- If the soldier grabs an enemy, he'll put them in a head lock and then with a swift twist, breaks what is left of the enemy's neck in a sickening snap.
Time to grapple some damn bears while naked and covered in honey.

On what you have so far, it's a good work in progress.
Though, I think the taunt should begin with him emptying the current jar onto the floor, turning around opposite from the initial direction, have him bend his torso over with his knees bent with the jar near his area, zip his pants, then turn back around and smile while holding the jar in the air or something.

well in theory the taunt could be equipped without having the jarate equipped, so it'll start out empty (possibly separate model or just by messing with the piss's bones)
-edit-
also the fact that for the video it work that he faces away from the camera and fills it, but in-game someone could just walk around anyways and see him cupping air.

[QUOTE=Ona;45388785]Personally, I just don't think Scout suits a beard. His voice is just too high and his attitude is just... wrong for one. He's a bratty punk kid, doesn't seem like the beard-having type to me.
Just my two-cents.[/QUOTE]
so typical bearded college kid?
scout looks like the biggest scumbag possible with a beard and that's probably the intent so it does a good job i think

So, I am trying to Unwrap this thing and only half of the model will texture and the other half textures as the under side. So I got Half a beard textured and the other half textured the wrong way. Anyway to fix this?

These are the basic animations so far, the idle animation (where he throws invisible food and the birds peck the floor) is barely finished, i might make it so he kneels down and hand feeds them, also i looped it 3 times to make it last longer.
Also I've improvised for the bag of food by using the lunchbox, i'l model it soon and replace it which is why it's clipping.
No facial expressions as of yet.
No finger animations until i make the bag of food so i know where to put them.

But isn't the Idea the most important thing on a concept?
I mean I'm not the one who'll Model or such, my draw are just there to illustrate the idea, and not to show up my drawing skills, since I can't do better then that current sniper concept, which is in my opinion way better then my oldest one (In therm of draw)
If I recall, Ronin had (and still have) a group where people post their items idea, not generally a drawing or such.
And he made plenty (good) items with their concepts.
So, in my opinion, the main goal is the Idea, and not the Drawing by itself (it's a diagram of the Idea)
I really can't do better then this, and you're pushing it hard by asking me more.
Concepts are made to show off the items on the character (Proportion,if it fit well etc).
I even tried to respect the color palette of the sniper and such.
You probably forgot that not everyone is good at drawing like you guys.

Man you're just being really immature about it
"A FOR EFFORT" is a poor substitute for an excuse to draw badly
If this Ronin guy is doing that, good for him. clearly he is working to specificially cater to children like you that refuse to put effort or love into even the concept stage of an idea, but in the emporium i think everyone would benefit from you taking the time to at least use a good reference image, because people model in the reference pose so when your concept is in a special pose or a highly distorted one it is very hard to "picture" it on a plane
Yes, concepts are made to show off the item. This doesnt make every concept universally good.
You don't have to be a good drawer, you just have to be able to think rationally. Quit being a brat that uses the excuse "NOT EVERYONE IS BORN WITH THIS TALENT" because just about every contributor in this thread worked to earn their skills and i suggest you do so too.
You don't understand that I just SUCK at drawing, I put some effort on that sniper one.
You think that's it's just "easy", to draw over characters with just a mouse, when I already suck with a pen.

Sorry for making this look like a repost, but I really really had to redo my concept since I wasn't really
happy with the outcome of the original thing. So, I added more details here and there. If you guys want to,
I might redraw the hat too.
Up for grabs as usual.
(sorry again)

okay but your ideas are boring too
a good design can make a boring idea interesting
make it a habit to only post each concept once. If no one claims it, you lost, move on. Once you're good enough, you shouldn't even have to post more than once.
