Ohh I see this bain fellow's resurfaced to spout his malicious garbage about someone he doesn't know in real life, so I'll just copy & paste my two cents about what I said over on the workslop. I get it that I'm pretty late for this, but it pretty much sums up how I feel about someone calling out another artist "bad"
[QUOTE=Dusty-Pixels;51818454]
People of varying skills of talent exist here in the workshop community, and to be honest? Vipes does need to improve a lot in his art, but that doesn't mean he should be shunned as horribly as this. Like unless the guy's guilty of kicking puppies or burning down an orphanage to make you act like you have a personal vendetta against him, I say that Vipes is just an artist who's still learning a lot on how to draw and pitch his concepts. Not everyone who illustrates is absolutely perfect and will improve over time, but saying that they put no effort into what they do is a colossal stretch.
And doing some digging through the art this guy's posted, I feel as though I'm inclined to say I've seen far, far worse art pitched as concept art. If anything, this guy's work is actually not that bad; He could use improvement, but it's still pretty decent.

hotrod and I have been putting together the materials for a scout taunt where it's a moving taunt with an M1/M2 function akin to mannrobics
we havent gotten every single thing in concept form like this but I can provide bountiful materials and images and videos of what else we'll be going for
it's a skateboarding taunt obv, taking some inspiration from tony hawk's underground/2 (the board sliding in on its side is a direct reference to one of the "freak out" board animations when the replacement board slides in after breaking the other one) and the manual M1 function would end in some sort of to-be-decided trick
the M2 function would probably just be a simple fliptrick like a laser flip or a varial heelflip
we cant animate this but I'm already working on the prop and we're looking for anyone who'd be interested in making this a reality
also no he wont push mongo in the final taunt

Its a cool idea but with how slow the movement speed is with these taunts wouldnt it look a little awkward?
[QUOTE=InfectedPotato;51848090]Its a cool idea but with how slow the movement speed is with these taunts wouldnt it look a little awkward?[/QUOTE]
if it matched the speed of the kart it'd probably be fine, it's all flatland stuff anyways
I never play scout but my love for the tony hawk game series alone makes me want to buy 10 of them

The one on the top is metal, and the bottom is wood
[QUOTE=MaxMartian;51849205]The one on the left is metal, and the right is wood[/QUOTE]
For wood i would suggest adding wood grain and edge highlights where applicable. For metal you'll want more independent brushstrokes and edge wear when applicable.
I'd suggest studying the textures in game for a better idea of what you should strive for.

Simple answer, because people make money
[QUOTE=AD/HD;51849340]Simple answer, because people make money[/QUOTE]
the reason the emporium is such a drama magnet is because the average age of tf2 players and community members is like 13
the drama was worse before people made money :P

More work on Sims_doc's rocket launcher, adding in details before I start unwrapping/rigging/stuff. Criticism would be greatly appreciated.
[sp]Speaking of Vipes, he's doing the texture. I'm sure it'll turn out well![/sp]
Someone made a topic about it on SPUF and I honestly kind of agree it feels weird if anyone hasn't done it yet.
But, has anything ever though about making a demoman misc that just replaces the pills on his chest with stickies. Possibly either Standard Stickies, Scottish resistance Stickies, quickie-launcher stickies, maybe even iron bomber pipes?
I mean, concept seems sound and simple enough to do.
Pyro could probably do flare gun ammo in replace to the... what look to be napalm grenades as well perhaps?
I do think it could be interesting to explore cosmetics that explain where characters keep their ammo and such, like Heavy's lunchbox/Scout's Bonk! cooler/etc. A pack of needles hanging from Medic's belt (arranged like a revolver's speed loader), a sheath for Sniper's kukri or any of Demo's swords, the aforementioned grenade replacements, there's several opportunities.

The figure reason why this hasn't probably been done as much, is that Valve at one point made a statement that they don't like cosmetics that have weapons visible in them, or otherwise items that could imply that the user of said cosmetic have one weapon equipped while they have some completely different. I also believe around the same time they mentioned they also didn't like items that had religious symbols on them, or otherwise heavily religious backgrounds or themes.
This is probably why some items get left behind out of sets for "seemingly no reason" at random, like for instance:
-Neo's engineer cowboy set where the hat and vest got in, but not the holster + belt item.
-The Brim-Full of Bullets where it got in without it's companion cosmetic, which was a scarf and holstered revolver.
-The Tartan Tyrolean and the Highland High Heels, but not the matching shirt item which originally had a cross necklace.
and I'm sure these aren't the only instances of it, but these are just some examples.
Also given that Valve doesn't always seem to follow the rule they set, by adding things like the Exorcizor which has a makeshift cross of knives/rockets/axes, or by accepting the update to the toowoomba tunic that gives demoman a sheath on his back. But this might also possibly because:
1. The crosses are makeshift and not actual crosses.
2. The sheath is much smaller than the eyelander or any of the swords he has.
Of course its possible that after all this time they just don't really seem to care about this rule anymore, but Valve is weird and inconsistent about things like these.
So if you feel like its worth the effort to try, by all means go right ahead.
Hey guys. So I've been working on this helmet for soldier for a while:
[QUOTE][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/q4lcJ5s.png[/IMG][/QUOTE]
It's a half of a coconut made into an helmet.
At this point I'm not really sure what more I could add or change about it to make it look better.
Do you guys have suggestions on how to improve it?
