TF2 - Polypack - The Flying Monk

The Flying Monk

I have too many ideas for this. So I'm just going to throw ideas around until something sticks

First idea

When this comp first started I felt a wave of nostalgia. Back to when Team Fortress looked like this;

So far I have a quake guy hat, although I'm pretty sure that none of the TF classes had this back in the quake days.

Quake Guys hat.
Quake rocket launcher.
And the medics axe. From memory you used to heal team mates by hitting them in the noggin with a healing axe.



I don't really know where I want to go with this. Maybe make the 3rd person gun from the cut scene and make a soldiers pack.

Buck

Arent you supposed to make them all for a single class?

The Flying Monk

Yeah, I know Buck. I just haven't found a class that I can make a whole pack for yet.
Just doodling for now until I get something that fits.

white cross on red ground is switzerland, red cross on white ground is "medical" ;-)

as a swiss guy, your axe looks very patriotic ;-)

Same thing, both flags mean "Please don't shoot me!"

The Flying Monk

Wasn't getting a feeling for the flashback pack. And giving the 'Less designing more arting' thread I don't think the healing axe fits with the comp.


This is my current idea, temp names for now;
Hat : Lone wolf and club.
Melee : Wack A Tazshi
Rocket launcher : Bam Boom!

The rocket launcher needs more too it. I'm struggling to work out how to make it more 'rocket launchery' while still keeping in the home made bamboo theme.

heh someone else doing an eastern based soldier pack like me?

The Flying Monk

I got distracted by something shiny and ended up working on another project for about the last week. So just a bit of an update to convince myself that this one isn't dead.

The solider seems like the sort of person that would prefer to bludgeon someone over the head rather than quietly stab them. So I was thing why not hold the sheathed sword the wrong way and use the hilt to hit people with? The upshot is now all of the interesting detail will be in the first person view. It also make the whack in Wack A Tazshi true.
Just playing around with ideas with the icon tied to the end. It just feels like it needs something hanging on the end there.



I'm hoping that I can make up for lost time during the long weekend that is coming up here.

You got some big competition but I wish you luck
