TF2 - Polypack - Cpt. Obvious
Sadness... Wasn't able to teach myself how to do this stuff in time. Mass props to those of you who model so neatly... it truly is an art...
Mods/Admins, I'd love if this post were to stay up, or get moved somewhere else instead of deletion... I'd still like to reference this as I continue to learn.
____________
Don't mind me... just setting up here, getting my obligatory WIP post started....
Profile: Me? I've never done modeling before, but I'd like to give it a shot. It's the summer, and I've got nothing to lose except wasted time. C&C are HIGHLY appreciated, as well as tips and tricks I may not know about yet... I'm still a noob, but I take criticisms well!
Timeline:
May 25: Initial Concepts and ideas
May 26-29: Sketches
May 30-June 15: Learning how to model
June 16 - The deadline: Doing my best to complete this set.
My Pack-
CLASS: Scout
Pack Name: "The Boston Brawler" (maybe)
Item 1 - Primary: Undecided, TBA (see item 5)
Item 2 - Secondary: Drink

My Pack-
CLASS: Scout
Pack Name: "The Boston Brawler" (maybe)
Item 1 - Primary: Undecided, TBA (see item 5)
Item 2 - Secondary: Drink
Initial Concept Proposal:
Drink replacement that keeps congruent with the scout's love for baseball, as well as his aggressive attitude. Were effects to be implemented, they would be in-line with the name, and give serious capping power back to the scout (fight the pain train).
Haterade
+ Double Cap speed for 10 seconds (4x Cap rate)
- Unable to use weapons while 'juiced'.
Aesthetics: Currently a toss-up between a retro-styled Gatorade bottle and and old-style drink can. Label inspiration from original Gatorade labels.
Item 3 - Melee: Ball + Tube Sock

Initial Concept Proposal:
Bat replacement that keeps congruent with the scout's love for baseball, his Boston heritage, and his love for fighting. Were the effects to be implemented, they would provide a side-grade to the other bats. Slower swinging would force the user to be very intentional, but with a big payoff. Allows for a devastating ambush.
The Boston BFT (Blunt Force Trauma)
+ 100% Damage (Base 70, Mini 100, Crit 210)
- 100% Swing Speed (Swing interval- 1 second)
Spin/Wind-up for 100% Chance Critical at the sacrifice of 90% of your speed or Taunt Kill (maybe)
Aesthetics: A tube sock, team colors but the style of the Boston RedSox logo socks, with a ball inside. Typically, bar fights have pool balls inside socks, but the sandman baseball inside the sock would fit the theme.
Animation: I don't have the ability to do so, but when changing between weapons, it'd be cool for the scout to slip the baseball into the sock.

Original Name/Visals: "The Boston Strangler", a baseball inside a nylon stocking. (The Boston Strangler notoriously strangled his victims with their own nylons) This name, I feel, is a bit too insensitive, and sheds a bad light on the game/valve. This was my original name, but I came up with the BFT as an alternative.
Item 4 - Hat/Misc: Catcher's MaskBat replacement that keeps congruent with the scout's love for baseball, his Boston heritage, and his love for fighting.

Initial Concept Proposal:
Hat item, modeled after a catcher's mask.
The Fenway Facemask
Level 0-100 Headgear
Item 5 - Secondary: Rosin Bag (alternative to Item 1)
Hat item, modeled after a catcher's mask.
The Fenway Facemask
Level 0-100 Headgear
Initial Concept Proposal:
Secondary item that keeps congruent with the scout's love for baseball, and stays mostly in line with his role on the team. If effects were to be implemented, they would provide a side-grade to "Bonk!", allowing a user to avoid sentry knock back, but still vulnerable to opponent attacks.
The Pitch and Moan
+Sentries unable to target player for 6 seconds. (or, differently programmed, invulnerable to sentry damage and no knockback)
-Vulnerable to all other attacks.
Animation: To use, the scout throws downward, covering himself in a cloud of white dust.
Aesthetics: Modeled after a pitcher's rosin bag (bag full of white powder, used to dry the hands of a player. [ame="
