While my power was flickering on and off last night I decided to continue attempting to make the concept Metaru posted some time back look decent. I took some advice posted a while back to make it more team-neutral and also added a team-colored variant just because. Preview pictures could have been done better but I was in somewhat of a rush because I completely forgot to make them.

If Metaru wants to be partially credited (before I finalize everything) since he made the concept art and whatever he can add me. If not I'll just finalize it since I have no idea if payment options even apply with unusual effects.

[GuntMyFries]

If Metaru really did the concept then they should be properly credited

It's sure to rattle your bones no matter what you do![/QUOTE]

Holy shit. This is the only Unusual effect that's actually captivated me so far.

Need a name for this. I came up with a bunch with a friend but then forgot them all.

Also, the redish color in the glass is the only color it has. Its not team colored because reasons.

Should I change the color to a faded green?

I like this.

who is L Huggins

Wouldn't it be better to make the text kinda vague and unreadable like the Deus Ex items

[NuggetWarmer]

The Toadstool Topper (dumb name, so open to suggestions for changing it)

It says Dr C. Huggins.

I have no idea who it is.

[Ona]

So, wait, is the submission deadline totally over? I haven't even gotten my 3Ds Max working again.

[editline]EDIT[/editline]

Well fuck, there goes my motivation to make something. I didn't even know there was a deadline for this.

And yeah, yeah, I should read shit, yadda yadda rate late.

I'm gonna go sulk.

[QUOTE=GuntMyFries;48913378]If Metaru really did the concept then they should be properly credited[/QUOTE]

I can't credit him because Valve only lets you add people to the credits list if they're on your friends list as far as I know of; it's not currently public (only visible to friends or if I link it) until I'm able to properly do that.

[Daimao]

[QUOTE=Zenamez;48903804]Got to say - I prefer the rounded edge filters, rounded eye holes, rounded head and new nose of your revamp, but prefer the filter grill (doesn't look like it's been sealed off, which your revamp looks like) of the original rebreather and the smaller grooves for a mouth of the original.

It's pretty nice to see someone take pride in their work, but I think a combination of the 2 models would be a better approach.[/QUOTE]

Thank you for the constructive criticism, Zenamez. My philosophy on cosmetic design is that people who wear them or observe them from the "outside" should have the final say in any change I make to my models/textures, because they're going to be using it and looking at it in the game. That's why I take the criticism I get here and on other forums very seriously and will fix the issues you adressed. I think both issues you pointed out can be fixed in the texture and that both changes will make it more readable from a distance.

I've been contemplating on also making it paintable to add value for the people who currently own it, but personally I'm not a fan of most paints. What are your (and anyone else's) thoughts on this?

[St. Santa]

I say paint could work on the last breath if it affected the tint of the skull and eyes like how the team coloring is handled.

They usually add a item from a new contributor in each update or so like last year with that rabbit in a top hat for Halloween. Sure it might be unwanted by the community but you would have a item accepted.

[Ona]

[Bapaul]

No offense Ona, but you haven't really made THAT many items, and of the ones you did make over half is really not up to the standards of tf2 (please do not try to counter with some of the bad hats that have been added over the years).

Much of the voters vote for the idea, and not so much the execution.
And especially don't take it out on the more known contributors, they've earned their place and make a lot of items. Which, surprise surprise, the majority doesn't get in either

Claude Huggins, the founder of Teufort?

Shame I was a day late and a dollar short to the Workshop of Horrors :(

[Uzaru]

[QUOTE=Ona;48914664]But by god I'll fucking complain about it because at this point there's not much else I can do, now is there?[/QUOTE]

You could vent elsewhere, maybe play a game or go out for a walk. Last time I checked this wasn't some general complain thread so please dont try to derail it with your personal drama.

[QUOTE=Ona;48914573]
Not that it will likely get in. My name isn't Neodement, Ronin, Sparkwire, Void_Skull ect, ect. So my chances of getting anything in the game at this point are pretty dismal, event or none.[/QUOTE]

I hate it when people say this, it completely devalues the work of popular and successful contributors like the ones you've named here.

Who you are has no influence over whether or not your items get accepted in to the game, the people who you listed here are consistently making quality content. THAT'S why they constantly get items accepted and you don't.

NeoDement? 226 workshop submissions, Sparkwire? 362 workshop submissions. most if not all of them are high enough quality to be accepted in to the game

If you made 300 workshop items of outstanding quality you'd be getting items in game at the same rate as them.

These people have worked for their success in TF2 and are rewarded with the ability to work full time doing it, they're not just Valve's favorites.

Did a Many Calaveras revival for Neo, as well as a mask to go with them for the hell of it v:v:v

A collaborated concept made with Ye Welsh Tabby (Hope [I]it's not too too late[/I])

[NettleBranches]

Bit gutted that I was too late to enter, but at least I learnt something new from all this; when working on an item(s) and there's a deadline, never leave it to the last day to finish it. Rushed items are a no - no

As much as I like the concept of this hat (it is amazing), I would never wear it due to how high it sits on their heads. It makes the hat look like it is several sizes too small for them, and completely breaks the immersion that it is even a hat for me.

I understand that the space is kinda limited due to how small the opaque part of the hat is, but that space could have easily been lengthened out a bit to fit better.

Sorry for ruining your hat immersion :(
