thank you Hexalina! I just prefer my items being not paintable that's all. If I'd do the paint region that would probably be toned down so pink paint for example wouldnt be burning the enemies eyes

I don't see how it would affect team recognition considering main part you're drawn too would still be team colour (the chest), top part of his arms would still be team colour too, honestly say still be easier to tell which team the demoman is on with this cosmetic painted than previous cosmetic we got like the dynamite abs which only have small parts that show team colour, even if the sleeves were a problem, can always make it so the paint region is only at the end of the sleeves like how the lazy lounger does it, think this cosmetic would look amazing painted but if you want to keep it the way it is to avoid problems then that completely fine, still a really nice looking cosmetic overall

@Lord Giabrio

it is not paintable cause paint region would be only placed on the sleeves and turtleneck that are major area that player will see during the game and that would make some gameplay problems with team recognition

I really love the look of this cosmetic but do have to ask why is it not paintable, is there a major reason for it because I think it being paintable would allow it to fit into more loadouts personally

@Mugtoast Ty mate ^^ It's great to see another emporium hater, ty for the support

Doesnt look like this is connected to the emporium, so it gets my vote. Demoman really would be a ship mate or even dare I say fisher or captain

I really do adore both styles, except the bottom half with the gold detail on it, I really feel it holds it down and makes it look more pirate-y instead of a more versatile cosmetic, I beg you make 2 more styles without it because I would genuinely use it otherwise!

Thanks to all of you for all the comments, it doesn't matter if they are criticisms or compliments,
for me the important thing is that people appreciate the cosmetic. Thank you all ^^

Simple, but nice. i can see some cosmetics go well along with this one.

i pointed out what was wrong you disingenuous retard.

gonna say the equivalent of "put the fries in the bag" by saying "vote no and move on"

omg people don't like it when you call something shit with 0 ways to make it better because its actually just a personal dislike of a submission?!

the idea was good, the execution was offputting. if i didn't agree with the idea in the first place i wouldn't be here, i'd just say "no" and leave. the typical suspects who just lay around in their secret emporium club hate effort and take anything other than a resounding "yes" as a personal attack.

uh lets see, most respectable workshop creators and their contributions: Mislaid Sweater III, Aerobatics Demonstrator III (for Sniper), and the 7th santa hat since the B.M.O.C.

this is why people are quick to judge you.

least delusional workshop commenter

TF2 fans when they can't base all their artistic opinions on pedophilic sweatstains they needlessly worship

@irritable bowel syndrome calling the Dead of Night an "all-class item that people hate" is genuinely the most insane comment I've ever seen. I see people wearing it constantly. Backpack.tf states that 148.898 copies of the item exist as of yesterday. You're genuinely delusional.

bro can't do anything other than instigate like the worthless shithead he is.

bro already deleted his comment lmao

i've modeled more than you clearly

i think it's just being obtuse

item is great imo, I just wish the gold trim continued to the backside of the skirt.

Actually never heard someone complain about this particular thing (except for the Dynamite ABS) but it might be just me.
Yeah I guess it might be the problem with background.

you think people hate dead of night? LOL

"Not to mention, there have been various items that change up demo's sleeve colors (all class items that people hate)"

@bay okay so it's not as bad as i made it out, the grey background on black was just messing with my eyes too much then.

@GNX XDDD that's a good one

@Everik I was about to mention that Dead of Night or even Sub Zero suit that is already in game changes Demomans appearance but still preserves his design since Demo's model has big black vest which is majority of his model and this is more iconic than sleeves for me.

i didn't recognize my own father today because he wore a green sweater instead of his iconic white button down

Not to mention, there have been various items that change up demo's sleeve colors (dead of night, weight room warmer, etc), and it's never been a problem.

There's so many shirt items in the game. Not being able to identify a class because their sleeves are different is a new one for me.

Nice item btw

btw. you can check at loadout tf if it is really hard to read if it's demo or not

if you think this makes demoman "hard to read" because he has different sleeves on, you're either being deliberately obtuse or just genuinely incompetent.

the RED and BLU color of sleeves are based off of the original Demomans colors so I really don't get it. Sweater color is just much darker shade of it but it still blends in overall design.

you can just say you don't know what you're talking about LOL

10% darker team color shade makes demoman harder to read somehow

"don't make the demoman look too different"

emporium eunuchs: "duhhh what this mean?"

@bay is it that important? it's fine if it were like the snow sleeves, but on top of a shiny emblem the sleeves are a darker shade with a black sweater beneath. it makes the demoman's iconic design hard to read. not good.

@irritable bowel syndrome yeah I remodeled the sleeves but it was to add different normal mapping, add the shiny effect to the button and demo's emblem. I wouldn't call this over designed.

Genuinely such confusing wording. Literally the only way to make cosmetics for this game is to model on top of the default mesh. How is that not working with the base model, and why is not working with the base model a bad thing

Im curious what you think "working with the base model" means

@irritable bowel syndrome literally what are you saying lol

It's very good.

mann of the seven sees but cooler

overdesigned gaudiness. i can tell you replaced the whole sleeve instead of just working with the base model.

Gemerald.

ah, both work

Ah yeah, while coming up with the name we wanted it to be Chief of command but replaced command with destruction. We can change it for sure later on.

i'd actually name it head of destruction or have a head to go along with it named that. like head of construction to me sounds better
