All You Need is Ubers

I've been doing a couple of concepts lately for weapon and hat ideas for Team Fortress 2. One of my ideas entertained me the instant I thought it up. The Medical Mop Top, which would give the Medic a John Lennon-ish look with a time appropriate mop top hairstyle. I did a couple of sketches and ended up creating a simple concept in about 10 minutes. I planned to work on the mop top later on and I wanted to amuse some people on various message boards with my idea.

Most people liked the idea, but one Facepunch Studios forum goer by the name of Donksuli liked it so much he decided to model it before I could even start. This is a good thing however, because he did a fantastic job. I mean, look at that! If that's not fab I don't know what is. Here's my original quick concept piece that I did:

To make such a awesome hat from that is totally fab. He's submitted in to the contribution site and is giving me credit for the concept design, so if it gets accepted, we'll both will be Day Trippin'.

Be sure to check out the other stuff he made and submitted in:

Beholdeth! The Command Shell!

This is my first Team Fortress 2 hat. Based off the assumption that all good engineers know of the traditional cultural tradition of turtling. This is not to be confused with actual turtling defenses, turtling is the respect for all shelled creatures and to ensure they don't go extinct. Even if this means wearing what appears to be their remains on top of your head like some sort of mad man. The actual turtle defense thing is quite the coincidence.

I submitted to the Valve contribution page along with posting it up as a model replacement for the "Ghastly Gibus" hat on FPSBanana, because honestly, a turtle shell hat beats a spooky old ghost hat.
