I believe there has been a fanmade 3D model of the scout's mom that respect very well the style of TF2. Maybe try to find where you can get ahold of it and make a render and do a paintover with it instead of drawing it manually.
Sweet! i love the kiss mark idea! XD and btw i love ur ideas fragus:thumbup: a and a suggestion on the PDA : why dont you put a knob on the PDA with 2 bars above it 1 saying RED and the other BLU
Hey Fragus, this PDA thingie replaces the cigarette case right :O?
It is a fine model, however it's not going to go well with Spy's current disguise kit taunt.
Also, is it disguised as something?
I'm not sure I have said it in this thread (I may have), but Spy's objects are usually high technological objects in disguise as ordinary objects.
A Sapper in disguise as an old radio, cloaking devices disguised as watches, disguise kit disguised as a cigarette case.
The typical Secret Agent shoe phone stereotype.

This is disguised as a wooden cigar case, it isn't finished, now I'm thinking about the insides, later it will have wooden box feel, some engravings and gold
EDIT: And the sapper is clearly a sapper, it isn't disguised as anything:

Ah, perhaps you could have some cigars inside it then?
It would be a logical solution as to what would fit the empty space inside the cigar case.
Also are you going to do anything about the taunt or are you going to let Valve handle it, potencially letting it have an unfitting taunt like the paintrain, or no taunt at all like the Skullcutter?
EDIT: And the sapper is clearly a sapper, it isn't disguised as anything:
Ah, never mind me on that one then.
I could have sworn I read somewhere that it was disguise as a Radio; and as it doesn't look that far from it, I didn't question the idea of it being disguised as a radio when seeing it in game :O
Make it be a picture of his vespa instead :poly108:
Make Spy have some love for his vehicle as well.

Well, the paintrain taunt isn't bothering Valve, so it'll be fine

If you're alright with that, then there's not much to worry about.
Most of the community just thinks it looks lazy having the normal taunt as it looks very strange with anything but the bottle, but then again many other thinks the strange taunt is awesome !!
Any suggestions on textures? I really don't know how to paint a cigar texture, after looking through ton of images I still don't know how to implement them with a TF2 feel! Are the current textures good?
I'd suggest to try exporting/compiling your models so you can at least see how they look in the model viewer and have a better look with Texture using TF2's shading.
I'm not a fan of the button labels, I think it would look better if the buttons were blank (maybe different colours). The button functions seem meaningless, really, and don't seem to have any relevance to the actual function of the device.

Just use the same sort of brushwork on the cigars you would on a wooden stock in TF2 - broad-ish strokes in a painterly manner. I'm really not that concerned about your cigars, they look okay as is, just think they could be more TF2ish.
I leave to move to Illinois, and when I come back, this beauty awaits! Very nice, man. I think you struck a very good balance between the old school and new tech with this one. I'm not sure if this is what you had in mind, but it almost could be an old cigar box that the Spy added a little tv-thing to.
One little thing you could add? A little golden clasp on the flap. It wouldn't even need an animation- with as often as he opens and closes the thing, he probably wouldn't bother with the clasp- but it would look very cool.

Hey, those textures are looking better. You've been working hard on them (:
I like the gold plating better, I do think it does become a little overbearing (maybe make it a little more unsaturated) but when I look from the first to the second and back to the first, I can see there is something missing.
You cigar label should be "Saxtons" after Saxton Hale (:

The one that he picks up at the end of meet the spy.
If anything, a picture of the pyro or engineer with hateful scribbles around it would be more fitting. imo.
Now I think of it, he has a point. The photo of the scout's mom would go better in the pocketwatch (since it's more like a locket in nature)

Would they fit if the closed the case though?
Excellent
Carry on then.
Look I did it for you!
I also like the picture a LOT more than the cigars.
As for label: something French? Royal?

Nice work! You're rapidly approaching done here, huh?
Great ideas, thanks! Yeah, I'm thinking about gold too, thinking where to add it! Also, Congratulations on your new home!
