[QUOTE=Tundra Boy;47519844][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Vv2s0tZ.png[/IMG] At least everything has color now. Made the carvings on the handle look a lot neater, added a bit of transition on the edgewear for the blade and prongs (let me know if this is too subtle). Still gotta clean stuff up. Let me know what you think. [URL="https://p3d.in/iOAnZ"]3d[/URL][/QUOTE] The crevice at the base of the shaft should be darker, not lighter, than the base color. [editline]13th April 2015[/editline] Also making the crevices in the grip darker would definitely help too.

[QUOTE=Bynine;47519877]If a nail bat is too similar you could just do a 2x4 with nails. I'd prefer the bat but it's an idea regardless[/QUOTE] then it'd be too similar to the pain train
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/iY0YRnC.png[/IMG] Added some indents to the model, and redid the nails. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/OlDNugU.png[/IMG] Trying to rework the shape of the model to match the tf2 model of a beer bottle. expect it to change drasticly, but this is what i have so far
Just adding indents for the sake of it doesn't look great, it just looks weird considering its a nail bat.
Indents should be on the handle area (if it doesn't have a cover) because it provides a better grip, but otherwise it shouldn't really be anywhere else. It just muddies the model (Not that it looks bad).
i'm pretty sure that a board with a single nail on it would have way more personality than that.
yea could use alot more stylization, and also model in some sort of holes in order to make the nails feel more natural in the bat rather than shoehorned in
[QUOTE=Metaru;47521631]i'm pretty sure that a board with a single nail on it would have way more personality than that.[/QUOTE] For a long time, I thought that the Sandman had a single large nail in it. If only backpack icons weren't so small in-game. Now I see it's just tape, [t]https://wiki.teamfortress.com/w/images/f/f5/Backpack_Sandman.png?t=20101104155422[/t]

I dont think a rail spike is really a nail (well it is but you know what i mean)
[QUOTE=Killbane;47522498]I dont think a rail spike is really a nail (well it is but you know what i mean)[/QUOTE] It's essentially and practically a very large nail.

That literally looks just like the Pain Train except more square.

That literally looks just like the Pain Train except more square.[/QUOTE] Im not suggesting a new concept, im suggesting what he could do with his current one because people are saying it might be too similar to the boston basher The paintrain is a 2x4 with a huge fucking rail spike nearly splitting it in half being held together with duct tape and about 4 nails bent on the top left over from whatever the plank was ripped off What i suggested is a 2x2 wooden dowell with a dozen or more nails purposely put on with the intent of making a makeshift weapon
But in the end both of the items would essentially be wooden sticks with nails in them. That isn't good for multiple reasons: 1. From an artist's view, it's very anti-creative, especially since he already has a unique design going. 2. From a workshop browser's view, it's just the Pain Train but for Scout, which would flood the comments. 3. From a non-stupid workshop browser's view, it'd be the Capo's Capper all over again (Capo's Capper uses the Fancy Fedora's mesh and is for all intents and purposes a Fancy Fedora with a new texture and slightly askew). 4. In-game, if he goes with what you're suggesting, the weapons would look incredibly similar from anywhere besides up close. this is assuming he doesn't go with a unique if weird wood colour if he does go for your idea.
A baseball bat with nails in it is not the same thing as the medieval weapon the Boston Basher is, nor is it a wooden plank with a train spike in it. Let him make the darn thing and stop arguing about the design for a thing you're not making. Some feedback is fine, but all this is too much.
