lol, is this made with full intention of trying to get it in as a submission item? then fat chance! From what I know, valve does not accept items that are obviously derived from movies and or games that could get them copyright issues, and nothing overly silly.
Anyway, I agree with what everyone said, doesn't fit the tf2 style.
@Ronin, I liked it much better when it wasn't covering his eyes. That one looks kind of ridiculous over his eyes like that. Every single hat doesn't need to be positioned that way on him.
Yeah general consensus every other forum i've been was that it shouldn't cover his eyes. It's just plain silly for this hat. It's worth a shot anyway since i'm considering all of the options. Next i'll explore the glasses version.

Though if you do look every hat DOES cover his eyes in a slight bit so maybe you could tilt it in a way that it does slightly but not so much as you just did because that way is a bit comical.
I'm kind of pointing you that way because if you do want to contribute it the hat and keep it to the soldier it should stay with his theme which is having the hat shade/cover his eyes.
Tilted it the best i could to reach the brows as much as i could. I feel that covering his eyes is just silly and ridiculous for this hat. I am considering on making a sunglass to accompany this hat (top gun anyone?) but i will have to optimize this hat a bit since its already at 1000 tris. Planning this for the soldier, medic, heavy and sniper.

don't tilt the hat at all. it looks better not tilted. you're just gonna make it look bad just cos every other hat is tilted and its 'tradition' for the soldier to have a tilted hat? don't worry about the other hats. just make yours not tilted and it'll look good. what's so important that a hat has to be tilted for, anyways?
Did you just port the model from Fallout to TF2? Certainly looks like it.
Its not a port, its new model, 3500 polys.

Fallout promo is just a name, its a joke. We (tf2 players) never get flooded with silly promos from other games, right? (irony)
Something ive been working on today
Its a day of the dead mask
By god, that mask... I instantly thought of the Grim Fandango. It's just absolutely perfect, by god. That's just amazing. Curious, does the mouth flap open and shut as the pyro runs forward? Not like a massive amount, but just jiggles up and down a little... that would be a very nice touch.
I didn't submit yet, I messed around with the skull and went back to using the old undetailed normal map and a brighter texture, while i'm at it, have some combos
Styles!(The web over this one is an old one, as you can see I used a less detailed more cartoonic one in the screenshots)

IMO it looks perfect titled like that but you could also add the sunglasses with it to make it like the honcho. I think that is how that hat keeps with tradition and soldier theme.
An update on the garrison cap.
Now equipped for the sniper. The Badge is based on the Royal Autralian Army Badge. (Rising Sun Badge) Altered it a bit to replace the crown with a sniper icon and there should be a text on those scrolls (Right now i'm thinking "Royal Australian Mercs".) Right now i'm open to suggestions on the text.
Notes:
*Uses the same UV's and half the texture of the other garrison cap
*799 triangles total.
*Team color reds are used.
UPDATE:
Changed the badge color to Australium Gold and added some text that would surely be virtually invisible in combat but added anyway because i had time to kill. Also added a shot of the texture map for those wondering how the detailing is done. This hat should be be ready by now for exporting in the game when i get home from work.
So I think I'm finished with the model I've been working on of Sharc's design, but I've got a problem. My computer broke a while back and shades of colors don't transition so smoothly on my computer, and my resolution is permanently stuck at a non-widescreen one, so things look stretched slightly.
Please let me know what you think and if it needs to be improved. If the textures look odd, then I attribute that to the above or my inexperience.
awesome dalek model - instead of beeping like a turret it needs to yell "exterminate!"
So I decided to make a pack around the motorcycle themed medigun I started for my last pack that didn't fit. I did a lot of work this weekend I am looking for any input.
-The gun I cant decide to do a single shot, giant horse tranquilizer, giant gun, or giant syringe inspired one that could still fire bullets.
-The hat is a brain pan with a pair of riding goggles on them.
-the melee weapon is a tire iron with a scalpel duct taped to it.
still working on names.
Heavy badge updated. With careful thought and advice from friends, I decided to take out the hammer & sickle and replace it with the heavy badge instead since that communist logo is still banned from other places. It would have been great but i dont want to touch on sensitivities right now. Finished the texture on the badge and it should be ready to export in TF2 later today. Now its off to make the scout's or pyro's garrison cap. Time to roll the dice!

? are you joking, the soviet logo is banned in some places?
After seeing that the iron curtain hat the hammer & sickle on it, there is no reason for me to not use it anymore. Opened the back-up file and incorporated the texturing i just made on the other version. Quick work that turned out decently.
Something ive been working on today:
I'm also gonna do his tin axe, a scarecrow hat for a certain stupid class and a severed lion head for a certain heavy class.

Ghost rider(Style 2+burning flames unusual effect)
Party skull(Style 2, sight for sore eyes, searing plasma effect)
Necrophilic Gentleman(Third style+whiskered gentleman)
name it the Muchacho de Muerte or Amigo de Muerte
I'm spanish and that doesn't sound right at all, haha.
I don't like that hat design. You could try to do something smaller or maybe a skull maskpaint, that would be original.
Sentree.
It's all about the open mouth! Made me lul when I saw it. Well done!

Seriously though, that would make the mask perfect.
a sentry that moves around.
End of the world as we know it.
still can't climb stairs
But they can fly.

Good job on the sailor hat. I propose to make it slightly shorter. Right now it seems a bit too tall. Overall great and solid hat. Love the emblem.
Took one of the KGB emblems and modified it for this one.
Schei
It's a good thing I just finished them then.
But it's too late in the evening to take pictures unfortunately, I'll take final shots tomorrow.

sugestions?

pyro version of the garrison. Feedback is welcome as always.
The uneven spacing on the middlemost bars makes the pyro look like he's got some kinda slanty asian stereotype eyes.
Is this the inspiration for the item?
I'm also gonna do his tin axe, a scarecrow hat for a certain stupid class and a severed lion head for a certain heavy class.
If anyone wants to model these feel free, I'm not into the modeling side of things yet.
So this is what I got on my syringe gun replacement, any suggestions?
