TF2 - Polypack - BrontoThunder

BrontoThunder

Hey guys,

Just setting up my W.I.P. thread for the Polycount Pack contest.
I decided to work with the class that I've put the most hours into - Demoman.

Not entirely sure about the direction but I've done a couple of mock-ups for a fake eye to replace his eye-patch.




Weapon-wise I'm thinking of a single shot weapon with a big explosion radius and for the melee weapon something brass and bludgeony.

BrontoThunder

Here are a couple of WIP shots of the model.

I like that, it should be more shaped to his eye though, give it a bit of a rubber lip around the back shaped to the socket Then add a clip on the lower of the two strapped side (with some lose cord, one of those tightening clips)

Cool, thanks for the advice - I've still got a couple hundred more tris to work with so I'll give that a go.

Latest update.

Ikimono

so you're making mad-eye moody out of the demoman..?

BrontoThunder

Okay here's my 95% finished version, added a golf ball in the eye since I'm going to be changing my theme to that of death and destruction golf-style.

Ikimono

well ok then

BrontoThunder

K done!
On to the next one.

Thanks!
I was thinking of some messed/modified up golf for his melee and a launcher shaped like a golf club bag. I'm super busy but I'll try and have some concepts done by tonight.

RoronoaDSanji

umm, for the launcer, make it shoot like X balls at the same time? and longer reload.
make sure it is not weird, cuz this theme is a bit hard to fit in tf2, especially the demoman

Tahrinya

Ooh, yay! The eyepatch looks great, the smiley face is a nice touch.

I am eager to see the next WIPs, senpai (:

BrontoThunder

I've been insanely busy but finally a new WIP of the melee weapon; two golf-clubs strapped together with a saw-blade shoved into one of them for extra hurtiness.

Guitbox

Cool idea for the melee weapon. I really prefer the golf theme for the demo rather than the swords and shield thing.

Only critique so far, I would say, is add some bends and dings to the club handles, and maybe the blade too (like its bent in from hitting people on the head so much)

BrontoThunder

Okay model is finished!
Time for texturing.

nex

brutal stuff

Khthon

Your theme is so out in left field! Might be a good thing, though.

Psyke

getting such a duff killigan feel from this!

BaronVonFail

I seriously love you. This is just PURE genius, cant wait to see the rest and finished pieces

SirCannonFodder

I'm really liking this, the golf theme fits great with his "Rich and Scottish" aspect (after all, golf was invented by rich Scots). I'm guessing those are probably nails holding the clubs together, but how about golf tees instead?

I think the fake eye would be better if it had a (clearly written) fake eye on it instead of the smileyface - the Demo already has a smileyface hidden, and I think it would look funnier if it was just an obviously fake eye.

maybe written down as "AYE" you know.... bad pun on scottish accent.... don't judge me like that
