Description
"Just call my name."


A set of Medic weapons themed around puppetry and marionettes. This happens to be the first set of items I ever planned. They look a lot different than they did back when I drew up the concept art. That was 4 years ago? It's rather gratifying to finally get around to making them.

I always liked the idea of the Medic being a controlling schemer, the "pull the strings in the background" kind of guy. He certainly fits the archetype in a few ways. Puppetry is also something that is remeniscent of eastern Europe(Germany, Hungary, Italy, Austria, etc). If anyone would have exposure to it, it'd be the Medic. Maybe he's obsessed with it? Maybe it's just a passing hobby of his? Maybe it's all just metaphorical? I don't know really, it's just an fun idea and nothing more.

There are no misc items for this set. I had plans for them, but as you are well aware with the workshop, just about every cosmetic idea has been done to death at this point. I doubt I could come up with anything better that hasn't been done, nor do I really want to.

"Suitable for man-sized puppets." A giant wooden marionette/puppet cross that's been patched together and fashioned into a makeshift weapon. There isn't much to be said about it. It's the first entry in a set of puppetry-themed items I've been working on f...

"Functionally identical." Wow, where to start with this. These guys were originally supposed to be simple background props to add ambience to my puppet-themed Medic set. Boy, did this get out of hand. They went from hand-sized marionettes to full blown pla...
