I like the modeling and the texture work. The only thing I don't really like is the vest color. I think you can go with the default demo's vest color while having the sleeves and collar team colored. The paint region then would be somewhere else of course to prevent the issue with a team recognition. Other then that it is very well made!

Its too bulky tbh

bad execution

I like spikey helmets

It's the real deniman

god i love this but he looks so fat lmao

definitely valves fault for never introducing better bodygroups, this seems like the best you can do with demos giant freaking vest

tone down the bulk and I'll vote it

I see the effort but the execution it's a bit janky, the jacket is too big since it covers Demo's bomb suit; as well as the arms, they are too wide and bulgy especially when looking at the side, compared to other sleeveless cosmetics like the Dynamite Abs or the Hawaiian Hangover that look more natural.

Man skipped leg day

@Mr.Pink
Do those vegetables he eat have Scrumpy flavor by any chance?

Ah, yeah, you're right.

Demo eats his vegetables.

Those arms are sooo thick! Like... why?

Exactly, the entire emblem thing is just nitpicking at its absolute finest

Tick-tock
Heavy like a brinks truck
Looking like I'm tip-top
Shining like a wristwatch
time will grab your wrist
Lock it down till the thing pop
Can you stick around for a minute till the ring stop?

Please, God

If it was a different class's Emblem on Demoman(Like Sniper or Heavy's Emblem) or a really offensive symbol, THEN i would understand it being a problem. but otherwise its just a waste of time to make a complaint over.

Its also more important to recognize the character by Animation, Character Design, Voicelines & the Weapons they use rather than the 10 pixel emblem.

And lets not forget that he is the only burping drunk that carries a big sword and tossing bombs all over the place with his grenade Launcher.

Emblem details are barely noticeable from any distance further than the mercs are tall, and in-motion it will be even harder to read any emblem details, default or not. If you can't identify a merc by the time they're close enough that you can read their emblem, get glasses !

I see people say "just because other items do it, doesn't mean you should." but there has not been one good argument about why changing the emblems is bad. Valve has added items with other emblems or items that remove the emblems entirely. Personally disliking emblem changes is fine, but the way some people comment about them you'd think they actually had any effect on gameplay (they don't, otherwise Valve would not add them). I will change emblems if I want to change emblems. Complaining about it in my comments doesn't convince me to stop, and being rude about it makes me want to double down and change them more. People need to take a breath before they comment, because this is just a silly little video game.

@Extra Ram
Even without the emblems, i would still be able to tell its Demoman either way, due to the way his character is designed. and he is aswell also the only character in the game with a darker skintone compared to the other mercs.

I understand a lot of the critiques on this, but why's the emblem change an issue?

The design itself is cool but it looks too big

The whole thing looks very awkward and off. Too bulky, unnecessary emblem change, and very busy. There's just too much going on here.

the vest is a bit too boxy and large

HOLY SHIT MADCAP 2

the hat is great tho

The vest looks way too thick

i like the concept of this but the execution isn't great, the arms on demo are way too fat, the entire vest itself is very blocky and bulky, you changed the class icon, there is definitely improvements to be made on this to make it look good but as for now, imma say no
