I don't mind the use of darker tones of the default colors you expect but when it's all across the areas you expect, it's gonna be tricky to see what's supposed to be demoman at a glance in a game. Team recognition discussion aside, it's gonna be odd for players to see this taking in consideration different map environments with different lightning, shadows and all that. The modeling and concept are really good but I suggest making it more in line with the red and blue you typically expect on a player model, different tones are fine but this is where it crosses the line.

Yes please, more of this please.

I'd love a leather coat for demo and he really needs more miscs

Valve plz add.

Demoman is in NEED of a good cosmetic for years

I think No Grenades style would be a great addition

well done, it's simple, does not mess up the shadow and the paint region is good. It looks like something he would wear. you have my vote.

well done

Nice and solid. Leather jackets are cool and this would go along with a lot of Demo's other stuff. Thank you for keeping the paint region small and removing the grenades (imo I hate the grenades in demo's base design).

This is kinda like Veteran's Attire, but for the Demo, I like it.

ADD THIIIIIIISSSSSS

This is a really good looking coat for Demo! Glad to hear there's a style that removes the grenades too, will that style have a separate submission uploaded soon?

Fingers crossed it gets added

oh, sweet

There is a style that removes the grenades, dw

its a nice duster for demo, 10/10.

a lovely, clean, minimalist coat. excellent as always; bravo!
though i must say... if you went through the effort to cover up those nasty shadows on his vest, you might as well have a style that removes the grenades

It's not the right call to make it as shiny as it is. The heavy's vest is also leather and doesn't look like that. Really it just needs toning down and it'd be perfectly fine.

it is a leather overcoat, so yes it is shiny

It's especially apparent in the arms, less so the lower part.

I don't know how else to put it. It, it looks like rubber or leather with its odd shininess

not particularly helpful

Some shit got to do with the way the alpha or normal map was made

i don't know what you mean by "sheen"

also the lighting might just be off maby put in a few in game shots

add the optoin to not have the grenades and take the sheen off a bit look at the chaser i guess and please dont add a class emblam or if you do make it a dark coler cause im not a fan of the orange or yellow emblams i think its just kinda a blemish

i don't know what that means

The model and texture is great, but the weird sheen is off-putting.

Looks really cool, but it also looks too shiny. Makes it look weird when you got 2007 merc models.

This is what you class emblem guys sound like

class emblems are not important to recognition whatsoever, they are simply there for visual flair

I'd reconsider adding class emblems since recognition is very important (especially with how many accepted cosmetics ruin class silhouettes now) even if some argue that it isn't.

@farkrits
Classes are mainly recognized by thier Designs, voicelines, animations and weapons. The class emblem on the side of the mercs are also so small you'd barely notice them from a distance, meaning they are no help at recognition from afar, but only up-close.

Spy and Scout are also the only two classes in the game that lacks class icons on their regular outfit. but people still recognize who they are because of the character design.

Also there are also Cosmetics in the game already have no emblem by default.
(Sub-Zero Suit and Water Waders are good examples for this one, as none of the two cosmetics have any class icons by default)

Thank you, and have a nice Day/Evening/Morning

i'm not adding class emblems but thanks

where are the scout and spy's emblem

Thank you for keeping the paint area minimal. Also, class emblems please: helps recognition + it just fills blank space/creates color contrast stopping it from being so bland.

And yes, they are important. They've been there since day 1 for some fucking reason.

Class emblems or not, I think it's a lovely shirt!

I agree with the sentiment of breaking up the colors a bit with the emblems. Other than that, a simple yet great cosmetic. Not enough mercs get good leather cosmetics.

In this case, a class emblem would break up the colors on the arms a bit so it won't be a box of "Oops, all red/blue"

class emblems are not important

Could you elaborate on why they're so important?

Class emblems are important buddy. You could make a custom one.

ahh ok i love it

It has toggleable styles

id wear tf outta this if it removes the grenades on the chest

I feel like this could use the class emblems, but that's just a minor nitpick. This is a fantastic coat that I would use.

scrumptioius leather..

I like this we need more good demo body cosmetics, one suggestion maybe include a style with some gold/paintable trim on the arms and class logos as an option

Um... Excuse me.... Why so swag?

tgus loooks like a big yummy hanburger
