that turtle is the king of forced shoulder pet companions.

[QUOTE=Metaru;45801010]that turtle is the king of forced shoulder pet companions.[/QUOTE]

it's in the same camp but there are much worse offenders

[Metaru]

I mean, a plushie of a item that has yet to be relased, yet to be appreciated by the community and yet to show any kind of charm to even warrant a plushie out of it. i could understand it from the other pet birds because they felt into the same trend last time, but its been a while since that small joke died, and both the ein and the squirrel already strech it already.

Its on the limit of pushing "deviantart-fueled OCs" into the game.

This was bad when you posted it to reddit; Facepunch isn't going to appreciate it any more.

Gonna need to get more than an edited and cropped shot of Meet the Heavy to count as a shirt. If it looks to you like little effort wasn't put into it, probably other people will think the same.

why is he black and white.
why are his eyes glowing so much.
why do you have black text on a black background.

WIP, of course.

Also for the music aficionados out there, yes, I know the pyro uses the hilt as the fretboard, not the head, it just wouldn't look like a fire axe if I did it the way he does so shhh

Don't want to bring you down, but they'll only pitch your design to Valve. Valve still needs to approve it. Good luck though!

Yeah, i know, but it's better than nothing, or atleast it's a response, i've never got a response on a workshop item

Well done! Valve do have a three turret moon shirt for portal, so it's not exactly crazy to think they'd approve this :P

Got that on my Greetings from Hydro t-shirt too. Good luck man

[Bapaul]

I'm really glad they're actively browsing the merch workshop to cherrypick the good stuff, as it seems that a lot of it doesn't get the deserved amount of votes.

If only it'd go that way on the regular workshop...

Oh man you know the best thing about this. is that valve has a manufacturer for scarves so it could very easily happen as a sorta special case if the community response is really good/valve opens it's doors to other merch

I'll happily buy one although the thing about merch is it's essentially free advertising and an ingame souvenier doesnt really show the product on it. Like i said i'll buy it since i know the reference, but i wouldnt be suprised if valve asked you guys about adding on a tf logo or text somewhere on it

If they accept it as it is, all the more power in the product

[Psyke]

Talking about merchandise

What was the deal with the Atomizer replicas?

Last i heard valve didn't talk to the contributor/talk about revenue due to them forgetting it was contributor made.

But who was the manufacturer/where was they sold?

Yeah, I know the text is larger at the bottom of mine is larger than on the original, and I'm missing some text, as well, but I think it looks good, personally

[GladoSC]

Just a really simple idea that has crossed my mind. Please tell me if it's bad or hideously bad and I'll do my best to make it better!

you should have used poses that would make heavy fit into the medics pose, but their poses are nothing alike so it's hard to look at

Giant as fuck image incoming

I didn't notice the whole "300 DPI image" part of the workshop submission requirements until just now

I'm now seeing why people had trouble with submitting because the requested template was too fucking big

But yeah, made a few quick changes here or there and decided to also make it compatible with darker-colored T-Shirts, as seen above.

I'd upload a picture of what the white version looks like, but I'm already killing my storage as is with this thing

[QUOTE=Metaru;45801010]that turtle is the king of forced shoulder pet companions.[/QUOTE]

If I'm being honest, its definitely a lot more reasonable and logical(?) than some of the other pet companions.

I justify it like this: Engi has a hard hat, turtle has a hard shell. And I'm not saying this is what it is, but its also got a nice little relativity with this guy:

But thats just my opinion.

I fuckin love this. It's simple, funny, and very well executed; and I can see myself using a shirt like this in a daily base. This is the kinda of design that we should be aiming for: not just an shoehorned illustration, but something that makes sense in the media that it's going to be (hopefully) used. +[IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/winner.png[/IMG]

I like it, it's a nice idea. But I agree w/ punchy; I think it would be visually better if the heavy silhouette didn't clash with the med one. Maybe if you flip it, making the minigun more visible?

It's because Engineers like to turtle up behind their guns.
