>>1703 I COULD LOOK AT THAT ALL DAY.

I like it. I like it alot.

If you want clean images, you should use SDK or a program called GCFScape with VTF2TGA. Just saying.

'pologies, it wasn't my intention to offend, I just thought >>2334 came off as a little brusque.

Haka, if you're not looking to get a wig but want to take the other commenters' advice about looking a little less anime, have you considered midnight blue? Has the twin advantages of being pretty close to Medic's hair colour while also looking snappy with the rest of the blue.
I'd also suggest a brighter blue for the tie. Oh, and don't be cheap like I was and get a polyester one, it was slippery as all hell and untied itself several times throughout the day.

i appreciate that you're trying to compromise here, but seriously even if it's a midnight blue it's still gonna come off as anime-ish. it's still best that haka tries to stay with natural hair colors if she wants to be accurate.

Depends on the dye. I had midnight blue when I did Medic, mostly because it was just the colour my hair was at the time. It didn't look especially anime, it was just sort of blueish in natural light. Not obvious at all.

Oh god, that is too freaking adorable.

Dude people I know ya'll gotta have more pics, I want to see more of all of you! (As I mostly got the video)

Well here are some from a photoshoot I got of myself, so proud of these! There are some more I am just waiting for the larger files (and these were my favs). http://lithefider.tum blr.com/post/12630569255/preview-of-the-personal-photoshoot-i-got-at

You want more pics? Okie doke!

That's every photo I took at Youmacon. Granted, I took them with my phone, apparently my hands are shakier than I thought, and I didn't even start taking pictures until the Valve photo shoot, but yeah.
Attached pic is one of the BLU Engies that went by RobChan, and myself as the RED Scout. So if people have more pictures that are of all RED team or all Scouts, that would be nice because I didn't get to take any pictures of that.

In the planning stages after I figured out the kukri should be about as long as my arm and got a number to work with, I dumped the kukri model and textures into 3ds Max so I could measure everything and get it to scale. The measure distance tool (under Tools, if you want to use it) really helped here. I drew the bounding box seen in the picture as my reference point for all the real-world measurements. I am working in inches.

So much effort, i just loaded the picture into illustrator, traced it then BAM printed it over 2 vertical aligned A4 papers. BAM. kukri at scale.

It is not a messenger bag. If you actually care about making it look right, and I assume you do or you wouldn't be asking for help finding something like it, please do not use a messenger bag.

Try http://tf2chan.net/cosplay/res/29.html#133 for a simple to make bag thanks to Spork.

Failing that, I hear bags for carrying yoga mats are pretty close. Either way, you're looking for a sling of some sort and not a messenger or backpack etc.

My friend cosplayed Scout once, and she used the bag that her fold-up beach chair came in, and just painted and tweaked it a little. Perfect shape, just needed to have some stuff added.

Obviously pretty late by now, but if all else fails you could get some towels and an umbrella, strap that to your back, and just say you're wearing the Lucky #42.

Anyone get pictures at EXPcon or know where I can find them?
