Priceless! Can I use this as a spray-logo? :3

same:D

Sprays are limited to 256x256 (I think) so it would look pretty horrible as a spray. ^_^;

actualy they are 512x512

anything larger gets re-sized to 256x256 by vtex
check your $SteamUserDirectory\team fortress 2\tf\downloads directory, all the .dat's are really .vtf's
512's would be awesome though =)

If you create a picture as VTF right away it won't lose as much quality when imported to TF2.

Save it as a tga file without compression and any size will work, though the game will automatically resize it to be sane. xD

Even if you know how to make a transparent targa image for TF2 sprays, it would still shrink the text to nothing and it won't be legible.

I learned that the hard way when I was trying to make a targa spray of a note on the wall... <<;

well that also depends on your graphic settings.

that too ;P

lol! I love the "Sea" one

Nu-nun... Nu-nun... Nun nun nunnunununun DALALADALAAAAAM! Shark Soldier XD

epic...

What Joseph said.

MAGGOTS

lol...

Pro submission is Pro

.....................................................................................................................................................................................................WIN!

You have my vote

Demoman FTW.

Aye! Demoman will decapatate the soldiers! and Ram them into the wall too!

lolz shall be had at the end.

Good luck

Whooo, Soldiers.

LOL this rocks man! i hope you win! it made me chuckle

GO SOLDIERS!! i got 232 demoman kills

i got like 10 on both. i just want weapons!

good luck man

ROCK ON SOLDIERS. Kill that highlander wannabe >:V

fate....humper?

That's top class work dude
also very nice on the humor side

Actually, not to start an argument, but no one class is best. Team values man, team values! (just nerding out here )

Awesome!
Only thing i might change would be to have the soldier running with a shotgun instead of the rocket launcher for the LAND panel, so all 3 weapons are shown, but of course that's up to you.
Other than that, great work, has a very Valve~ish feel to it :)

Nice idea.

Ha ha, nice one Neko :3

Heh I wonder who would win this piss fight

Recruit to the TF2 Soldier groups and kick some bombs up! =D

"Save our Engies, explode a Demoman today!"

"I want you, to whack a Demoman today!"

I'm not entirely sure I see the point of using an unmodified model Valve has readily available as your centerpiece.

Maybe it's one of the contest stipulations?

What would you use? :o

Something that hasn't been pulled directly from the game. Writing is one thing, but to me, this is no different than taking a Polaroid of someone else's art and doodling on the borders.

Isn't it a contest for tf2? Wouldn't using their models, and thus maintaining familiarity, be better than drawing a not-the-same-art-style soldier? We'll think it's cool, but anyone else that sees the poster would be like "the eff is that? did they change his model? looks dumb now."

Risk is a part of becoming a better artist. This image has the style, font, and feel of Team Fortress 2 because nearly every element is pulled directly -from- Team Fortress 2. It's a solid entry, but it's disappointingly safe coming from someone who is clearly capable of drawing an original piece.

Unless he perfectly copies the style (in which case, lolpointless), anything he drew from scratch, while may look nice, would have been a fairly weaker entry IMO.

Er, wait, what? Valve has already made the font and model and boxes and whatnot, and uses them liberally. Why would they hold a contest to judge who can best copy/paste those elements together in a way anyone could do?

This isn't even a particularly strong entry as it is; it's a poor copy of the style and reflects a somewhat weak understanding of graphic design. The spacing on the text is poor, the banner doesn't have the usual background texture, the text in the banner is awkwardly designed and not aligned like it usually is, class names should not be plural, the "May Not be..." is capitalized incorrectly, the sidebar is missing a comma and abbreviates "Demoman" when it should not be.

Making a shoddy clone looks much worse than having quirks in your own style. Either get it right, be different enough to register as parody, or come up with something original.

Just a guess here but I don't imagine the contest will see too many actual professional graphic designers entering (that'd throw the bell curve way off, wouldn't it?)

I'm not a professional designer and I can still proofread and add margins. Besides, Gami has been paid on multiple occasions for his visual work.

This is how you argue a point. 8/10

Bull. Several entries have been drawn from scratch and are being sent in. Lazy is lazy and kissing your favorite porn artist's ass doesn't make it otherwise.

Actually, I dislike this artists work (aside from maybe, 3?); I just thought it would be an easy fire to start. lolfurry

I saw nothing about prohibiting using game files/models in the fine print/rules of the contest...

The irony being that a crappy POS gmod image won 3rd place.

Cyclops Demo-Sticky: I lol'd.

Underwater E-Tool FTW!

very well done ^.^

I can't figure out what the image for "Sea" is. It looks like a shovel with a little door and a wind-up key sticking out of the water.

It is depicting a military entrenching tool. A small shovel that folds where he blade meets the handle.

Ohhhh, right. That's his melee weapon, huh? Shows how much I've played TF2 lately. :p

DEATH TO ALL DEMOSPAM!

Good deal sir.

This is definitely one of the top posters I've seen lol

I demand medic propaganda posters! Who is out there saving your men's behind! Me! the medic canine of Siberia!*points in the air*and others...

cool

I am SO using this as my spray... if you don't mind =P

You can bring down rockets by hitting them with arrows.

*sigh* 'tis a shame I dislike soldiers. . .maybe one of their updates will make them more enjoyable, but right now I'm hyped for the demoman's claymore!

great poster, I almost thought it was a 3-d rendering with shade cells. it awesome! :) i want a gradenad

I'm a Soldier! But for once! I'm a Demoman! >=D

I wonder if this will land you with the tower of hats?
I'm far too Poor and Irish for one.

seriously your going soldier? but i always pegged you as a demo kindof guy. Anyway im trying to stay out of the war. I'm just a medic. I heal what i can. though my buds are demos so i may be a bit biased.

It's because I'm black isn't it?

I had no idea you were going Soldier or even played TF2. You rock. This rocks. Double rock. The Rock.

I hope you win.

Oh god I'm loling so hard.

This ought to win it is so epic

Awesome XD
Soldier all the way !

nice

Wow, very very nice.

That would be pretty neat if you could shoot rockets out of the air. The airblast is pretty close, though.

sigh, I miss my indestructible stickies. Maybe he'll get some kind of pinball stickies that aren't sticky to make up for it.

GOOO DEMOMAN :<

*Slaps a Gentle Manne's Service Medal on you*

If this did not win, it would be a travesty.

lol

I love it! Hope ya win, Nek0gami :3 The sea one is funny!

nice one

eh heheh... badger :D

This is so cool. x3 I join all those asking if I can use this as a spray.

I was going to win until you submitted this probably.

That's pretty awesome.

This submission is the best I have seen til now... well, except for that submission with the skin as white as snow, hair as black as ebony blah blah, a guy in our forums made something. Simple, but effective.
But this one is great too...

And now,
Without further delay.
My comment on the WAR in the long run so far:
*ahem*

....BBBBBLLLLAAAARRRGGGGG!

awesom =3

I think it's great (even though I am pulling for demomen)!

Tavish Degroot is not amused by this picture >:|

Awesome work! also Soldier FTW!! ^^

:P a lot of win

IF you win. I wanna see the item. So take lots of screen shots if you win and post them in fa. Okay? cuse im SUPER Exited!

ULYSSES! NO ONE CAN DO THE THINGS YOU DO!!! *80's metal solo*

this is why I +Watch you like the history channel! er.. the Military Channel!

Nice work!

Thank the lawd for gmod

Are you a Gelert?

crux.

look at my pictures, gosh. :P

Damn my laziness :p i got a poster half done and kinda forgot when the closing date was XD

Ah well good luck to you sir, and keep fighting the good fight

[Soldier] To all of you complaining about using the image of such a strong and handsome man like the one on this image I can tell you you are all MAGGOTS! I didn't go to WAR to kick the butt of so many one-eyed, scottish freaks to introduce them to my little rocket-launching friend for nothing!

Shen Tsung once made a wooden horse, stuck in there a bunch of demomen, walked around the horse and then he BLEW UP THE HORSE to show just how war is done, and that may happen to you too because he is a LITTLE BIT smarter than you pal! And since then everytime a bunch of horses are together in a circle it's called a MERRY-GO-ROUND!

Very very nice!

I didn't get a chance to finish mine, they should have made this contest last a whole week lol it sorta did but it should have been longer.

Bloody conformists.

TEAM SCOUT ASSEMBLE

LIT

Awesome work.

Fuck you TEAM DEMO ALL THE WAY

This is awesome. :X

AWESOME, AND NOOOOOO!
I have now officially 0 chance of winning XD.

Forgot to mention the obligatory:
Soldiers FTW, you demo-campers, sticky spammers, 'nade-luckers will meet your doom at my rockets! And many already have! MOAHAHAHAHA!

i have been looking around on other contestants. You Clearly have the best Detail and Quality. BUT! they have captured the time Tf2 is based on Better. Get ready Gami, you got a lot of competition! ^^

Hope you find this comment helping.

Search in Fa for :Propaganda Contest

if I had more time or an inclination to win I woulda done it by hand (Funfact: the soldier is actually painted over.) But seeing all the crap Axer's now having to deal with-- I dodged a bullet on not winning XD

*blinks* What exactly happened with Axer? I tend to avoid the steam forums, so I must be missing something.

You so owned my pic.

ENDORSED BY SUN TZU!! (Not actually endorsed by Sun Tzu)

Good to see you're on the winning side. :3

This = Epic + Win

Can't draw humans?

Nope.
I sure can't
PROTIP: Those are links.

Than why didn't you draw this poster?

time.

Understandable. I was just curious.

I'd like this more if I didn't hate Solider. It's well made though.

damn commies

You, sir, deserve a medal.

Nice.

Even though I cannot support your cause,
I do recognize this great effort. Turned out really nice.

Hope, that it'll turn up in the second run of winners

As a soldier for over a decade....yay.

Lol at the air! XD You're a shoe in to win.

Should'a just drawn soldier-demo porn.

Actually, please wait while I purge that image from my head.

Fff... I'm late.

"Hudda Hudda Mother fucking HUH

Disregard race, nationality, level of soberness and number of eyes. Forget the shape of the projectile, the numbers in which they can spam, and their cries of war and kaboom.

Everyone will burn."

I've yet to see anyone who supported the demoman in that war. :P

These are the only couple I noticed on FA, seen some demo love posters around though.
