[QUOTE=ZombiPlastiClok;47468094]I don't know if it's just me, but the colors seem really bizarre. Model-wise there's a severe lack of sharp edges in places, making it look like a bunch of play-dough stuck onto Medic (It's particularly bad on that device on Medic's shoulder, and what I'm guessing are supposed to be pockets at the bottom of the brown shirt jacket.
Not to mention it also doesn't make sense. The torso looks like the brown jacket is worn under Medic's regular coat, but the jacket somehow is worn over the jiggleboned coat bottom below the belt.
I hate to sound overly negative, because you made a good effort on it, and I admit it's probably better than I could do with shirt cosmetics. That said, I don't think it's at all ready for Steam Workshop as it currently is.[/QUOTE]
Ya know, agreed and I think it's fair.
I'll redo the colouring sheme and the uv set so it's focusing more on the details on those places.
[QUOTE] The cross should be less blurred, and a better color for the brown parts would be the one of the Medic's pants. Additionally, I recommend to remove the helmet and the mask from the thumbnail picture and leave them only in the additional pictures, since they steal the focus from the actual submission and can confuse people (this is true for all submissions and items).
I also wanted to ask about Medic's coattalis: Do coats with double coattails (one on top of another), such as Ward or Dough Puncher, exist in real life?[/QUOTE]
normaly you wear your uniform under the coat, but seems like TF2 has it own way in handling this.
Anyways thanks for all critic's.
Maybe better for a next try.
edit: changed thumbnail after [B]bulka96[/B]'s post about the confusing part of wearing helmet and other items on the thumbnail.
[QUOTE=bulka96;47468098]While the concept itself looks good, he needs to have a more original appearance.
Right now he looks like the Soldier with the Team Captain, Soldier's Stogie, Fancy Dress Uniform, two Gentle Manne's Service Medals, Disciplinary Action and (remotely) Mantreads (and in-game, almost all of them can be equipped at once!).

In addition, at least for me, a hunch doesn't seem to be fitting for a commanding man in a game where the silhouette is meant to immediately show a person's traits.[/QUOTE]
Well this class wouldn't ever show up in any actual gameplay, its just meant for sfm or whatever, so him being confusable for soldier isn't a direct issue, but i see what you mean. However he is intentionally similar to soldier, for the sake of staying within the same "Army" look. I might try a different colorscheme
as for his posture my idea was for him to be an old veteran, i did try a few more handsome, well built and upright designs but it just looks too generic for me, besides, as this guy wouldn't be in any direct combat situations, and only shout commands into a microphone and whatever, there's no need for him to be more fit

You could make the commander a female.

Wouldn't that just be the Administrator?

Only if I get to make a really dark and depressing backstory for her and adopt her as my OC and poorly smudge tool super realistic hair onto her.

Perhaps make the pants the same color as the hat? Brings a little more team coloring in.
[QUOTE=gigazelle;47468436]You could make the commander a female.[/QUOTE]
Bit of a challenge perhaps, not as experienced with drawing ladies, but considering the administrator and miss puling are ladies, and the fact that they're the only two we know that handles the indirect combat business it would make sene for the commander to also be a lady. I'd barely need to change the outfit i reckon either, seems like a fun idea!
[QUOTE=Killbane;47468647]Wouldn't that just be the Administrator?[/QUOTE]
Kinda narrow-minded don't you think? And i guess they're similar in function but that kinda makes it more sensical for her to be a lady

Maybe you could keep the commander's current design as a sort of battle planner & have the female variant be named something along the lines of strategist?

I don't think there's any need to give her a different title or role. She could simply be like a femclass: a purely-aesthetic female option for something that by default is male.

What I was thinking is the female variant would in theory get the information from the front lines & then relay that to the male variant who would then tell the troops/mercs where to go & could possibly have one of those awesome war-board thingys with the little model troops/mercs
Hey guys, making a taunt for the medic. It a simple music taunt where he plays and accordion. I have some base colors for the prop and can't really decide on which one. Thanks!

disagree for different colors
Also aware of the lack of straps. May or may not have them depending on how awkward it looks with the animation.

gender equality is all nice and everything but making a character "female" for the sake of is rather pointless.
[QUOTE=Metaru;47471198]gender equality is all nice and everything but making a character "female" for the sake of is rather pointless.[/QUOTE]
My logic behind it was similar to what blaholtzen mentioned - the individuals in the lore who aren't actually fighting (but rather taking care of logistics) are currently female, and the commander based on his description was a perfect fit for it. I also figured it would be the most effective way to separate the commander from the soldier in terms of appearance while allowing both to keep the same approximate "war uniform" theme.
Another potential suggestion could be to "colonel mustardize him" - make him appear much older than soldier, and put his palette on the opposite side of the color wheel. The purple palette of the administrator and miss pauling is between red and blue, and yellow is opposite of that.
Isn't YLW one of the TFC teams though?
Blu + red is obviously purple, hence Miss Pauling and the Administrator
Blu + red + green + yellow would just be brown, so either each team has their own commander or they follow a super neutral brown/grey/dark-grey-off-black colour scheme
Hey Guys I've recently been experiencing some issues with the importer.
Ive noticed that paint options won't display in the preview section of the importer (Not the biggest of deals as the paint still works in the TFMV so it's exporting stuff fin.e)
The bigger issue is that I found the some of my old files I want to update are getting the diffuse .vtf file corrupted... I recently found out that I could be doing something better with all my normals so I've been updating the normals on all my submissions... well when I do that some of my cosmetics textures go all ...gross.
[IMG]http://puu.sh/h3Sng/3aed966658.jpg[/IMG]
So here's the question: Any of you guys experiencing any issues with the importer and who do I contact in Valve to tell them of this issue?
Btw I should say this: the items look perfect in the importer preview. They just look like the image I have shown after I apply my changes and then load the models in TFMV.

Are you going to have a taunt for a horn as well?
If you ask me, he needs a full on bavarian dance taunt.

i was in progress on a taunt where he took out two beer steins and danced but i tabled it for a while since i got lazy

Sorry to be pushy guys but Who do I contact at Valve if I am noticing things broken with the importer?
As I understand it there is one guy everyone contacts at Valve and he makes sure the message winds up where they need to be. I just don't know for sure who that guy is and how to contact him.
Thanks in advance guys.

That is one cool design!
If I can make a suggestion, how about making him green or purple (Like Pauling and the administrator ?)
I really do love the designs you make........this is gonna sound weird, but will you do more?
Like ive always wanted to see a Italian Chief.
