Submit your own hat models and avatars.
Hell yes.

I submitted my scout avatar to Valve.

I think I never saw your scout av. But why only this one. Solly, demo, pyro and sniper are great.

This one i did without anyone requesting it before i gave it to mosin, his broken link avatar is it.

I like this one more than my others but im should submit them.

I'm thinking of submitting my "pimp hat" for the spy, but first I've gotta finish touching it up to make it look better.



I poofed out the edge of the brim to make it more stylin' (I'll probably poof it a little more), and now I'm remodeling the feather from a simple semi-transparent plane (aka lazy method) to an actual model. A few other tweaks and hopefully it'll end up looking alright. Now if only I didn't suck at hand-drawing textures...

Fun! I wish i had somekind of Publisher software. But my artistic skills are poop . anyways you know what this means... MORE CHEAP HATS!!

Here's my contribution to the cause:

*Tear*

Barlim you should send in your tophat for the Heavy.

if they selected it I would love you forever

This is still my fav barlim work

They probably wouldn't pick the top hat because it would be too much like the gibus (although I'd rather have Barlim's top hat than the gibus).

Point out it has a monocole on it. That will win votes.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I could certainly try... I'll probably update and submit a few, but I was starting with the spy hat 'cause I never did finish it, and valve hasn't really done anything like it yet (well the heavy barbarian helm too, but that'll come later).

Right now I have to get all my programs set up in my new Win7 installation...

Considering some of the hats they put in, I think they'll take the top hat, especially considering it looks 20 times better than the Gibus...

I would say most things from these sites.

Yeah, pretty much everything from there would be allowed.

Also, ZOMG MANNY CALAVERA MASK

I've been spending a lot of time getting my crap set up in Window 7, but I pretty much finished touching up the spy hat:

Barlim that owns bones

Can you... jigglebone the feather?

-Meccanica, high expectations

I'd like to, but I'm not certain what that requires as far as hats go (aside from the obvious bones). I guess I could investigate...

EDIT: Well I got the feather all jiggly, which looks pretty sweet in game. I fraps'd it but I can't get a decent piece of video editing software on windows 7 to save my life, so... oh well.

I also submitted the hat to Valve last night (before adding the jigglebone... oh well). Here's hoping.

EDIT2:

Two new hats submitted. From yesterday:



The light spins, or it would if hats could animate. I emailed Robin Walker and he told me to submit it anyway, and if they liked it they'd give it animation support.
Now, this morning's hat:



Comes in red and blue.

I need more hat ideas D:

CLOWN AFRO HAIR FOR HEAVY

• Aviator cap and goggles, for the soldier. (!!!)

• Cracked / bloody soldier helmet as a sort of war trophy for demoman, and maybe the demo's knit cap on the soldier, with an eye patch hanging on the side? Or something like that. It'd be hard to make that one as clear-cut.

• Pith helmet, for the sniper.

Here is a web site where extremely swell hats are sold. http://www.gentlemansemporium.com/store ... om=leftnav

Barlim i demand you to make the Huntsman Hat from Freak-a-zoid for the sniper.
