TF2 - Polypack - Seforin- The BEAR Update
polycounter lvl 17
Well.. Ive been needing to start and finish something for a while now. My new job/career is finally making me feel like Im a bit stable, and im enjoying life enough to work on personal art again! So with that said, lets rock this party!
Class Selection:The Heavy
My Theme: 'The BEAR Update'
Weapons: "My BEAR Hands"
- As the title suggest , giant barley hands of a bear, best to render all foes in 1 sweep.
Side Arm: Picnic Sandvich Basket
-Like all bears being attracted to basked of food like flys to honey, the heavy with the picnic sandvich basket acts as a quick drop for those heavy bears on the go who are in need of a quick health pick me up!

You may wish to reconsider your theme.
hat= Bear hoodie
Killer boxing gloves = Bear hands
Sandvich = picnic basket
Reading the descriptions of the heavy the 1st sentence that pops up was always.
============================================================================
"Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. " Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb, he's not your big friend, and he generally wishes you'd just shut up before he has to make you shut up.

Can be seen here....this is there "Exact" bio based off there site so I think this fits perfectly in theme. If someone else wants to red Flag me on this one let me know.
Make the hat less like a cutsie beanie a girl who's normally cosplaying would wear and more like an actual bear's head. (E.g. He's tied a bear rug to his neck as a cape + hood).
It would look cool if it was actually bear pelt, ala Hercules or any other beserker type Greek warrior stereotype.
There was another guy who popped up last night doing a similar Bear theme for the Heavy. I couldn't tell you who it was exactly. It may be 6 pages down by now. If you can find it, it might be worth checking for references and differentiation purposes.
I'll try some suggested changes but I'll for now continue on with the bear hands in the mean time
Does it fit? I don't know. I'll let Valve decide. Its fun though.
it creates a nice fun feel to the game
What is being said here is that if it looked like he was wearing a pelt as opposed to part of a 2 year old's halloween costume.
I appreciate fellow Greek mythology nerds but the time to come out of that closet is not right now.
Also please dont try to make the heavy "cute" it'll just make him out of character too much.
I can smell the steam forums raging from here.
On topic: I think having a more pelt like look to your hat would be a good idea.
ur hat idea is great dont make it look more serious, it perfectly fits tf2 if its funny.
the basket would be great, try making 1 side open so u can see a sandvich inside and a honey jar maybe?
maibe u could play with the words "bear hands"-"bare hands" and make heavy's hands look pelty...just like a wererewolf....werebear?
i dont know how to write that ^^. and bigger nails maybe? would be cool, as if the heavy had been hiding the truth with those black leather gloves.
i know my english sucks try to read it twice, i think they are good ideas.
^^ keep the hard work
I think this is a more fun adaptation of the heavy.
The Bear is actually synonymous with Russia.

Good theme, though personally I would prefer a more aggressive "Bear head", but that's just a preference.
