RTB Concept Art Inspired Soldiers

thank for front page

5/13/25: big update, read change notes for new stuff (i have to make new screenshots kill me)

I present to you a reimagining/remake of my first 3 reskins. What else is there to say?

A lot, actually.

These guys have been in the making for a while and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

Soldier helmet/gasmasks textures have been changed and look smoother compared to the normal helmets. This is because I used the female Combine gasmask texture from HL2:S and just pasted it onto their head. I didn't think it would work but it looked good so I kept it. (They also use the torso texture from that model as well.) The filters for the gasmask have also been changed to resemble some concept art of the Overwatch Soldiers with different helmets, you know the one. Also, all the soldiers have the "890" patch on their back. I made it a bit smaller to be less in the way.

Standard Soldiers are now a brownish-green with a dark blue camo enveloping them, with blue eyes and headsets. They also have a triangle logo instead of the normal circle-triangle one.

Shotgunners are now a swampy green, black, and orange mix and I replaced their armband with a red and yellow "80" to match my inner-city and outer-city reskins.

Prison Guards are now a deep, orangey-red color with a green armband and shoulder logo. For some reason Valve didn't change their headset colors to be white so the standard Prison Guard would have a green headset instead of a yellow one. I went back and fixed it by making the texture white instead.

The Elites are now an ever-so-slightly darker, greyish color and sport a light red "17" logo on their arm instead of the skull. They also have no skull logo on the back of their neck armor.

The Stripped Soldiers look mostly the same with the exception of their pants armor being different and their feeding port being red instead of yellow.

Another thing to note is that when any soldiers die, their eyes will go black. Thanks to Soutrim for writing the .vmt code I used to make the eyes go black.

Valve, for the original textures.

Soutrim, for bits and peices of the alpha channel as well as .vmt code I referenced when working on the soldiers eyes, alpha channels, and other bits.

Camo patterns sourced from a bunch of different things, too lazy to list all of them but keep in mind I did not handdraw most of the camo patterns.

Me, for the edits and everything else.
