TF2 - Polypack - Screwonhed
polycounter lvl 15
EDIT: FINAL SUBMISSIONS
Der Frankengear
hey everybody. im throwing my hat into the ring.
im going for my favorite the MEDIC!
tossing around a few ideas and i think i settled on a dr. frankenstein theme. thought it would go well with the already created heavy frankenstein monster hat from the contribute page.
(heres a link to the hat)

my final plan is to have a hat, a medigun, and a new melee weapon.
heres some thumbs.

Perv and asian manga style look most interesting, well so does emo, but then all he would be missing from looking like hitler is a stash
As for the hair, perhaps you should go for a doc brown from back to the future vibe.
4 for the hair
id say you should try some more thumbnails mr seaman
pumped out some more thumbs for the pack (got rid of a LOT of them). here are the ones im leaning closest to.
and still chugging away at the hair.
still considering the last set as well. so if you guys like one i did on the previous post more, let me know.
From the Med-Back-Packs I would choose the last one.
Could you do 3, but with the little electric cord from 1 hanging out.
I liked that detail :P
1. Looks like something from DragonBall Z
2. Looks too flat.
3. Doesn't fit the Medic very well.
4. Looks okay, but still a bit too anime-ish and not big enough.
5. Looks like he's just about to start cutting his wrists.
6. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_KzaNbgMMhNU/ScwICUoRgEI/AAAAAAAAFKk/FyZUbw3r0tY/s400/Z1807D.jpg
I think you should combine 1, 2 and 4.
It should be roughly as big as 1.
(oops, doublepost, is there any way I can merge my posts?)
But please don't make emo hair for the medic...it doesn't fit...
i'd reconsider the backpack as an item. technically it is part of the medic model (as in attached to his back as a separate mesh but in the same model) and at the moment, is not handled by the engine like an item or a hat. the medigun is only the gun itself with the hose. i'm not sure about this, but my guess would be that making the backpack an item or part of the medigun would be some work for valve, and that is probably not adding to your chances at winning this contest.
The other alternative is to work with what is already there and add to it, however that is a less than optimal solution.
thats why the stump of the neck looks so not tf2 like.
@woodn: my intent with the backpack is to do it with the medigun and tie it together better as a single item. if all else fails, valve could just use the medigun part and ignore my back pack.
speaking of the backpack....
(example)
If they don't have to then that's not a problem obviously.
@edspear: i wanna do a replacement for the ubersaw, but having a hard time coming up with something. any suggestions are welcome.
@pogo: what do you mean the mounting looks feeble. the base of the bulbs too small?
From first person, half of your work is hidden behind the block.
from profile it looks a bit skinny
time to sleep, but i have the day off tomorrow. so i know what im doing!
keep those critiques coming! makes me keep working
One thing I'm not sure of is the big ball at the tip, maybe if it had something else to it - needle-y antennas? Don't know.
Maybe some 'triggering' things, like on naval mines?
Here's a random raygun for a ref if you remodel anything-
goggles!
c&c appreciated and welcome:
