TF2 Emporium 65 - End of an era - Games

hi guys, i just found the firts concept i did for tf2 workshop, its 2 years old and i was wondering if someone wants to claim the winter sweater, please ignore scout's hair i dont know what the heck i was thinking back then, the gloves are already in the workshop so im just looking for the sweater to be claimed, it can also have cool xmas designs there now that i think about it.. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/bgOlNko.png[/IMG] it even can have some different cool styles..

The seams on the sleeves of the sweater look a little odd. The sleeve seam on the left is nearly horizontal while the right is vertical. Also the left arm has a light stripe at the wrist while the right has a dark stripe at the wrist though they both start with a dark stripe at the shoulder.

Why not just keep it raw? instead of doing paintovers.

[QUOTE=Sims_doc;51305220]Why not just keep it raw? instead of doing paintovers.[/QUOTE] it's promotional art don't be silly only place I'd say not to do paintovers is on the hlmv shots, that's where ingame accuracy is more important

It's the first thing anyone will ever see and the eyes don't remotely look like their HLMV counterparts.

[QUOTE=ikes;51305338]we used blend tint color over base 1 for the glow, yeah, so I edited in glow in post since it was mostly lost in SFM[/QUOTE] In cases like that, just make a version of the texture with baked-in color values for SFM use. It's very important that the thumbnail resembles the item in-engine, even if it's just a different colored glow. Ultimately, those eyes would never be as white as they are unless they were painted white. Even the glow around the eyes is lost due to this.

how's this? [IMG]http://puu.sh/s5ViQ/99af78e780.png[/IMG] didnt re-render, just edited it to be closer to the real deal, I dont think the enhanced SFM eye glow is very deceitful though, plenty of well received items have done more than that in their thumbnails

[QUOTE=YeWelshTabby;51308977]Snip-O[/QUOTE] I thought that i was the only person having problems with it.

[QUOTE=AD/HD;51310560]any reson this threads blown up so much in the past week?[/QUOTE] aside from drama this thread is always pretty popular from around september to january becuase halloween and christmas are the main windows where valve 100% add cosmetics. tbh this thread is still extremely dead compared to the last 6 or 7 years of its existence, but it does always pick up around the end period of the year.
