[QUOTE=IJCT;51914401]guess i wont be giving more suggestion then, dont bother to improve.[/QUOTE] maybe it's a bit much to come to a thread full of people that've been making tf2 concept art for months/years and arbitrarily decide that you have the secret trick to help them be professional? you can come and enlighten people on how to better work in the industry or give a more involved insight in to how you work as a professional, i'm sure that would be appreciated by many beginner concept artists, but to outright just say "you're not a real concept artist [B]unless[/B] you do this" and "you [B]need[/B] to do this to [I]really[/I] improve" is pretty ridiculous and condescending considering some of the people you're talking to have been making tf2 concept art for a living for years and you've been involved in this community for little over a year. you wouldn't like it if i came to your desk and said your job wasn't real, so treat others with the same respect.
[I]good lord this thread is spiralling out of control[/I]

Doing X,Y, Z doesn't necessarily make you a professional "concept artist either". Your primary job is to convey the spirit and idea of the concept in the best way possible. If I wanted the concept artist to only ever produce ortho views of every item that had to be made in the game, we'd be hiring draftsman [I]and[/I] concept artists. The goal of the concept artist is to convey their design and concept, which doesn't mean necessarily orthographic views. If volume and intricate shapework was a part of the design, then another view would help. In TF2's case, since a lot of the influences are taken from real life items, if those are known then the concept doesn't really need to make it known - they just need to make it apparent. IJCT : If you're going to be sore and petty about this and think the community is trying to silence you, think again. This place is very special and if anything, the folks that frequent it know what makes TF2, TF2 better than a lot of places out there. You'd do well to listen and not take their disagreement with your opinion to heart.
[QUOTE=Dusty-Pixels;51913853]-snippo- [IMG]https://puu.sh/uutNn/5143957d35.png[/IMG] An old weapon design of mine, which was meant to be for my [URL="https://puu.sh/tXWzJ/25cdd10596.png"]Monk Medic set[/URL] Not too sure about it now, but I do love the work I did on the handle, so maybe I could reuse it.[/QUOTE] I'm having a hard time understanding what this is exactly. Is that a flute on the top connected to some sort of blade? I do like how it looks though.

[QUOTE=BainTrain;51912976]I'm just pointing out flaws and critiquing. I learned what to do watching the TF2 Emporium. If you have a problem with me, you have a problem with the thread.[/QUOTE] Whoa-hoa! I just got back from sleeping, what DID I miss? Mate, if you're sick of "critiquing" people... Stop? Edit: Sorry if this was late, I'm Australian... only got out of bed in the last hour. There's always a lot to catch up on. Mostly wicked-cool concepts.

[QUOTE=Void Skull;51914390] If these aren't professional, I don't know what it is. Are there various views? Yes. But there's also plenty of sideview concepts, literal pages of them. There's no wrong way of doing anything. Just let people be, you'd be surprised how amazing their work can be if you just let them do it.[/QUOTE] [B]Preach it, brother![/B]

[QUOTE=BaconDaemon;51914643]I'm having a hard time understanding what this is exactly. Is that a flute on the top connected to some sort of blade? I do like how it looks though.[/QUOTE] To answer your question, the top part IS actually a flute! Because the komuso monks (which were the inspiration for this set) perform with bamboo flutes, I thought to implement it into the design. Now it just looks silly and I may replace it with something else.
Cross-Post from the [b]Frontline![/b] Thread: [QUOTE=kibbleknight;51914841]Small set for Demoman, curious as to if this fits the theme well enough: [b]High Flyer's Attire:[/b] [img]https://puu.sh/uuGzC.png[/img] Flight Suit and harness based generally on WWII era pilot get-ups. [b]The Liberator:[/b] [img]https://puu.sh/uuJ0i.png[/img] Based on a 1962 prototype 16-gauge, four-barreled shotgun, manufactured by Winchester in an attempt to mass produce guns that were easy to use and cheap to make for supply drops behind enemy lines late in the Vietnam war. They basically were giant shotgun-derringers. The intention is that it is for Demo, and he's converted it to use grenades instead of shotgun shells.[/QUOTE]

Totally forgot to post this. Recharger Pistol from Fallout NV. [t]http://i.imgur.com/YbpVpFD.png[/t] Needs a lot more rendering but i'll get around to it later.
you cant just copy someone else's design nearly 1:1 and put your name on it, thats called plagiarism. [t]http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/fallout/images/d/de/RechargePistol.png/revision/latest?cb=20110208225549[/t]

It's more just stylizing it. I'd need to change alot more of it to even consider taking credit for it. Hell, It's mod material than actual workshop material. [B]Edit: [/B]You raise a good point.

Hell, It's mod material than actual workshop material.[/QUOTE] shit like that is causing drama in the emporium everyone is pointing fingers i don't think he was trying to create drama especially since there was a valid point. it did quite literally look like a trace. as for "taking credit", i don't really think you stylized it. and even if you did; it still strongly resembles the source material. why not just post the final concept when you finish stylizing it?
Drew up a concept kukri for the sniper, what do you guys think? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IaGKJGG.png[/IMG] Agree if you like the left design, disagree if you like the right. No longer claimable, sorry, going to see what I can do about making it myself! [I]I call it "Of-Fence".[/I]
