Something interesting I found, the Mayans had these gods called the 9 lords of night (Contrasting them, there were also lords of day). Since there's 9 classes in TF2, maybe there should be a set for each character based on each one of those gods that matches the theme of each god to each class.

Pyro is obviously going to get a set based on the Lord of Fire, but matching the other 8 classes will be a bit trickier...

Have the legs like that for a reason: Cause I will be moving em' when I put it on each class model. Basically, a hanging frog.
Also, the white is there cause I am doing each texture at a time. Wanna make sure it doesn't mess up.

That's actually a really cool idea. Several of the titles are even really easy to place.
Xiuhtecuhtli ("Fire Lord") - Pyro
Tezcatlipoca ("Smoking Mirror") - Spy
Piltzintecuhtli ("Prince Lord") - Demo
Centeotl ("Maize God") - Engie
Mictlantecuhtli ("Underworld Lord") - Soldier?
Chalchiuhtlicue ("Jade Is Her Skirt") - Medic?
Tlazolteotl ("Filth God") - Scout? (Sniper could be this too, though I think he's the best fit for Rain God.)
Tepeyollotl ("Mountain Heart") - Heavy
Tlaloc (Rain God) - Sniper
EDIT: Kinda got edit-ninja'd I guess? I used the Aztec translations on Wikipedia. Going off of the translations you found:
Lord of Fire - Pyro
Lord of Flint - Demo
Lord of Youth - Scout
Lord of Maize - Engie
Lord of Death - Spy
Lord of Water - … Solider? There's nothing else for him. Although swapping him for Medic as Lord of Love could be funny.
Lord of Love - Medic
Lord of Mountains - Heavy
Lord of Rain - Sniper

Tezcatlipoca is almost TOO perfect for spy, especially when you look at the mask assosiated with him:

Actually it seems all of the Lords of Night have masks associated with them, so that would make a great set, 1 mask for each character.
[img]http://i.imgur.com/v5C7Hh6.png[/img]
weh
When I read lord of flint, it reminded me of the flint knives used in sacrifices, so I would have matched that one to spy, although the mask does fit spy well. I would go with soldier being the lord of death and the demo as the lord of water cause he frequents the whiskey river.
I feel like you guys are missing something pretty good here. I saw a jawbone dagger mentioned earlier which was the closest it got.
Ancient Mayans used teeth in their weapons, since they're sharp and most of the weapons were made of wood as a base. Obviously beating someone with wood is much more effective if it's lined with sharp teeth and barbs. Also, there was a type of sleeve/glove that was lined with teeth facing toward the fingertips, essentially making punches that much more dangerous.
Examples:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/UCzv1bV.jpg[/IMG]
You can see the sleeve in this one:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vZ6OWd1.jpg[/IMG]
I feel like these would be great for a heavy's melee weapon and a boston basher reskin. Here are some rough ideas:
Heavy Melee:

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/zTo57CM.png[/IMG]
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/r69Bp2Y.png[/IMG]
Just imagine those are the heavies hands, obviously. Also this would most likely be a bleed weapon, as thats how it was used by the Mayans. The shark teeth tore through flesh easily.
Boston Basher reskin idea:
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/28RuBZO.png[/IMG]
Essentially, the boston basher but with a cylindrical hexagon "blade", shark teeth instead of nails, and Mayan carvings in the pommel, top, and possibly handle.
I'd like to apologize as I'm terrible at drawing, and the fine motor skills in my hands are severely affected by a disability, so these drawings are terrible, and caused me more trouble than it was probably worth.
Anyone with some sort of 3d modelling skills think these would be feasible additions?

Anybody got any ideas for how best to cover up his vest without making him look fat? It's got me stuck.[/QUOTE]
If the cloth appears to be folded and/or layered, that may be a good way to disguise the extra size, and act as a decent excuse for the extra size.
Similar to this:

She doesn't look fat because the clothes take the blame. Although, it's Asian, so it's a bit of a different style.

You should finish the model before you create the texture, and then just adjust the model for each class, trying to drastically change a model after it has a texture attached to it is a pain (especially if your adding or removing polys).

I did some loose sketches for some Sniper weapons, and the melee was a tooth club. I can post a photo later.

The longbow was the obvious choice for a primary since it fits the theme and I'd love to have another bow option (even if Valve seems to really dislike adding them). It might need custom animations, though. This picture brought the jaguar-pelt quiver to my attention, and I thought it was a pretty cool idea to further connect the weapon to the theme and differentiate it visually from the Huntsman. There [I]is[/I] another option, and that is a rather cool-looking dart-thrower. It would [I]definitely[/I] need custom animations, and I'm not sure how practical it is for TF2's fast-paced gameplay. :/
[t]http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--Xu5IzWrz--/17i1n8qdesos9jpg.jpg[/t]
For a secondary, I initially wanted to make a new throwable but couldn't really think of anything that would fit the theme. The closest I could come up with was a pouch that would be filled with some liquid or powder. But now that I'm thinking about it again, a carved jar could actually be a cool idea. If not a throwable, there's always the option of a back shield. Sadly, that does have the potential problem of covering up the jaguar quiver, which is probably the most important visual aspect of the bow concept.
I quickly chose the toothed club for the melee, but the hatchet could also work. There's probably also a nice big Mayan/Aztec/etc. knife or machete laying around somewhere.
Thoughts?

i bet that would look better positioned around their head like sunbeams, rather than above their head like cloudy moon.

I think the sprite would look odd clipping through the hat/head, but I can definitely give it a try and see how it looks.
[QUOTE=gigazelle;50125376]i bet that would look better positioned around their head like sunbeams, rather than above their head like cloudy moon.[/QUOTE]
Eh, if it's default position is there, it means people can move it down with the unusual effect thing, right? I think it's easier for effects to go down then up, iirc.

I think that jaguar-pelt quiver would look nice even without a weapon to go with it.
Did an entire texture overhaul with EmperiorFaiz (Who worked on the model).
Any suggestions to make it look more like the style of TF2?

[QUOTE=corefighter;50125345]Sorry if I'm being dumb, but what is this supposed to be?[/QUOTE]
A failed concept of a Mayan-styled UFO. Y'know... Mayans... Aliens...
... I am still developing the 3D concept there, and surely I am going to remake it.
I recently started learning modeling and thought it would be great to try myself at making a tf2 item so i heard about the mayann project and thought i could join on it! :D so i came here and saw that pretty much anything i could think of is already here as a concept or as a WIP model.
So i desperately trying now to think of something to make,maybe i could join with somebody to make a model together :D
And some of the first ideas i had were a bear trap.Since the theme is jungle and mayann they would need something to catch something xD like a huge bear trap thats is closed on his head or hanging from his hip.
But i found out there is already something like that but not used ---> [URL="https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Bear_Trap"]https://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Bear_Trap[/URL]
So if anybody have any ideas im open for suggestions.
[QUOTE=Sparkwire;50125797]you really havent listened to like any model crits dude, and the quality suffers a lot because of it[/QUOTE]
Agreed. I just read through all the suggestions, and have decided to listen and change some things.
Hopefully, this time it will look better. If not, then I apologize.
