Nah, giving up is silly. Keep making models and you'll get better with time
If it makes you feel any better, here's one of my first items from two years ago

I don't know why I made this. I was going for a pouch for Demo, but it ended up looking like a plush emoji.

I'll try.
If anyone wants to help, go for it. The original model can be found here:

WIP Concept for shield with Chargin' Targe mechanics xd
Still, if anyone wants to help edit the model or make textures, feel free to download the Blender File here. I wanna make this become a reality.

All we know is that it's a frog. What is it ultimately supposed to become? A shoulder pet? A hat? A map prop? Is there any concept art that shows why a frog is being modeled?

Its supposed to be a Red-Eyed Tree Frog cosmetic for All-Classes.
The only name I could think of naming it is the "Arm Amphibian"
Please someone make a Blow gun.
R. E. T. F.s are more long and thin in body shape compared to the antenna frog. Its pose also makes it look like a toy frog; it should probably have its legs positioned as if it is climbing the character or tucked at its sides like it does when hiding.

They are also quite small irl, but that isn't really a problem as the game has exaggerated proportions.
If I were to make a cosmetic themed around the tree frog, I would make around three of them, at most the size of the Liscence to kill, stuck to various parts of the characters.

The original concept model for the idea was this:
[IMG]https://i.gyazo.com/1eeb49ca971b40261fd998a6268308a8.png[/IMG]
It has no character or any interesting values to it. It doesn't have a TF2 feel either, its just a really boring model right now.
Give it more personality and unique design to it to make it more likeable. Just being honest.
It looks a little Eerie, not going to lie I couldnt make anything close to that.

I had the same idea recently. Making a poison dart frog for all-class. Since the frog poisens people by touching their skin, every class should have a sweet frog inside of a jar mounted on their belt. Only the pyro can "wear" it on the shoulder or on any other part since he wears a bodysuit.
But I scraped the idea, because it would be like one of those "I can't even find the hat you're wearing" items.

2 minds think alike. It's a small world.
But yeah, the Poison Dart Frog seems... Ouch.
Also, if you wanna help, out feel free to. The more the merrier.
[QUOTE=BonkNickeltoo;50125716]Did an entire texture overhaul with EmperiorFaiz (Who worked on the model).
Any suggestions to make it look more like the style of TF2?

Gonna go work on it starting.....
NOW.
[B]edit: or do that^^^^[/B]
I think you should make the frog's head and back less curved and move its body closer to the "ground;" have the "knees" splay out to the side and its back feet positioned further apart than its front feet. You should also import a model from the game like one of the classes or a cosmetic item to get the scale right.

You should probably accomplish that with vmt commands like cubemaps and phong, not painting reflective details like that directly on the texture.

i thought about that too, but worn someplace other than the shoulder, but i scrapped that idea as well, something just didn't quite fit.

Its understandable of how lots of people can't see it being like the class birds.
Besides the birds, Scout got Chucklenuts and it worked perfectly. Spycrab would have worked anyway, since it has been a "must want" for years. With this Frog, I am putting it in a style of both the pets combined in a way that will most likely work.
On another note, since this looks to be a themed update, I am most likely making this item for all Classes.

I'm gonna head to bed for the night in a bit. Before I do, here is the current progress.

definitely an improvement
[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;50134921]definitely an improvement[/QUOTE]
Thank you. I'll be posting more tomorrow. Until then, I must go to dreamland for 8 hours and then be woken up by a ringing pain.
The frog's thigh kinda needs to be thicker at the mid-section than the rest of the leg so that it looks more appealing and accurate.

Can we see a zoomed out shot? It looks like it might be pretty small for an item.
I love how this thread has become a mass development effort to make a frog cosmetic for tf2.
Its awesome.
