Definitly gotta get in on this, hopefully actually finish too.

Right now I'm thinking something for the soldier with the theme along the lines of kids playing around, either a newspaper hat or a metal pot, a wooden sword, and a toy shotgun. Hopefully get some pics up soon.

Example wood sword:


Shotgun:

"You'll shoot your eye out!"

Svdl

Kids playing around? Maybe for the scout instead? Both of those would fit his weapons as well and the shotgun would even fit his scattergun animations.

Incapability

Childishness is not one of the soldiers traits. In fact he hates the scout, as you can find in the voice acting. Maybe you should reconsider his character type.

Soccerman18

Other idea's I'm kicking around, gotta get something going soon.

Soldier: Corinthian helmet, axe, cannon.

Sniper: Pirate hat, sword, not sure about a third item, maybe single shot pistol

Engineer: Welding mask, sledgehammer, no ideas yet for third item

Khthon

All these ideas are being done already - medieval hats/awes/cannons (TONS), pirate stuff for demo is WAY OVERDONE, welding mask is already in the game as the Hotrod hat - sledgehammer is new though.

Child stuff for scout would work better.

Ikimono

Every single on of your ideas is either In Game (which is laughable that you don't know)
Or someone is already doing it. Which you can go ahead and do, you'll just have to utterly outdo them

Soccerman18

Going with a guitar theme. Don't know if it's been done, being done, going to be done. Don't really care. I'm having fun with it.

Axe


Flamethrower concept. Have an idea to add a whammy bar to where the gas tube connects to the body, use as a level to control the flow.


For the third item I'm thinking of using the rest of the broken neck as the body for a crossbow. Hopefully get a concept for that this weekend. Working on the model for the flamethrower now.

Haha the default axe taunt will look awesome.
Why not have a regular shotgun, made of wood, with the guitar strings along the top?
Kind of like this.

Soccerman18

What would the guitar strings be doing functionally for the shotgun? Or are you thinking more of making a guitar out of a gun as opposed to making a gun out of a guitar?

Ikimono

guitar for axe has been done, but they're old and mostly for kicks. Gogo, make a pack for the pyro!

BaronVonFail

all the ones i have seen have just been guitar, never a guitar axe hybrid. Good idea keep it up

If you're talking about game-wise, that's not something for us to figure out, that's for Valve, so don't worry about it.

And yes, making a guitar out of a shotgun seems like a great idea.

Soccerman18

Must move faster, taking too long!

Kalva

Not too sure about that flame thrower, or the Guitar theme, but I fucking LOVE that sweet axe. Guitars have been done before, but the way you added that blade is just.. Joygasm! Release it as a skin even if it doesn't get in, for the love of any deity you like to imagine do it.

Khthon

Haha. The lighter reminds me of people holding up lighters at concerts. Any other additions to the body of the guitar? Are you going to animate anything? How will this look in first person? I hope theres some good details in fps view. Also, maybe a fuel canister sticking out of a hole in the guitar and connected to the pipe?

Psyke

why not make a hat the 3rd item?


moreso...why not make a mohawk for pyro?

I was thinking exactly the same thing Psyke, but then I just couldn't imagine how it would be attached and what not.

there's tons of motorcycle helmets with fake mohawks.

same for caps and headbands ect

BaronVonFail

hendrix's mind would explode when he goes to set that guitar on fire

Ikimono

Dragonforce will be played for hours on end if this gets into the game.

I approve.
