Team Fortress??? NO!..... iFortress!

Page 1 of 2Next

Everyone loves iPods, and if they don't like iPods themselves they love the ads (much like myself, I wouldnt be seen dead with an iPod but the ads are great)

And after a teacher said 'There's no I in team' the other day a great idea hit me. I'd sex up the TF2 characters by making them all black (should please the demoman) and giving them white weapons, just like the iPod adverts.

I guess when the whole team is done I'll make one big picture with iFortress written under it.

As I love the Pyro so much it seemed natural to start with him (I recon it is a he, but a cross-dressing he or something before you all tell me its a she). Then a friend requested a Heavy so he came next.

They make great steam display pictures, and with a little clever resizing and croping they still make great icons at 32x32 for the in-game icons.

Anyone want one? I'm only willing to make them in two colours, red or blu, but I am willing to make all 9 classes, should people want them, if not I'll leave it at Pyro and Heavy

These look great!

I am terrible at TF2 and haven't been playing it much (so far), but I do really like its character designs.

Hey, how about an iPortal version? Can you do one of these with Chell in black silhouette with a white portal gun? Like with orange and blue backgrounds? Maybe the CC? That would go over big with this crowd, methinks. ;)

BTW what do you have against iPods? They're great portable music players. I always listen to mine on the bus/train, and it's really the only way to use public transport.

Cr00ked.

OMFG! I'm so stupid, why didn't I think of that! :lol:@me

I don't really like the touch wheel, they are overpriced, I have a lot against iTunes, I prefer my Creative Zen V Plus mush more sexy.
I'm just odd like that I know they are hugely popular, but I don't like that.

As a graphic designer, I personally find iPod ads tired and overdone. =P

As for iPods themselves, I've never wanted one because of a) price, b) iTunes / proprietary file formats, and c) this inexplicable feeling that it is my duty as a free-thinking individual to stand against the tide of mass consumerism.

This should be made in to actual in-game models... Only have dark shades of red of blue. : >

I'm going to remove this post for the sake of keeping the thread on topic.

If you were wondering, there used to be a rant about why I dislike iPods here.

whoa! whoa!

Why we hate apple and iPods goes in off topic!
Let's keep this thread for discussion of my posted images please.

(I agree with you on every point though)

Yeah, that's a good point youme. I edited/removed the post for the good of us all.

As far as the images go...Eh. I've seen you do better. Could just be my apple bias kicking in though.

I'd love to see and engineer in red, although im not sure hwo it would turn out. But i would probably use it as a steam pic, as i need one.

I love the ones you've done so far. :D

?But there?s no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake!?

They arent fantastic, but when I made the first one it was inteded to be shrunk to 32x32. and at that size its quite good, then the next size it had to look good at was 184x184. Any higher resolution then that was just room to play.
