I can't be the only one wanting this in our workshop
Not that I don't appreciate another TF2 styled character popping onto the workshop I kinda wonder why we don't have many old and young ones. We mostly have middle aged with few elderly and even fewer young. It would be nice to have say all the main team fortress characters at different stages of their lives.

I'm sure some people would like to work on things like a teen slasher or any other age oriented genres without having to try make existing characters look young/old with outfits alone you know.

I understand these kind of models take time and effort fine I can wait. But can at least one of those capable of making those kinds of models start maybe focusing on the odd one or two it's kinda limiting to only have mostly middle aged.

I'd happily try it myself but for years I can't wrap my head around how to make them with a guide alone I simply need someone to personally teach me and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

I mean, yeah, but "someone has to make them" is the big thing lol. Creators focus on recognizable characters from the game's lore or fandom, which are mostly adults due to the premise.

I'd still encourage you to learn if it's something you really want. Blender is free, powerful and has a lot of tutorials. You could always start by making retextures of existing models. Otherwise, your best bet would be comissioning someone to make them.

(I have a background in game art so I ended up making my own character model. Though I deviated from the TF2 style - I didn't feel like squarish hands and eyelashes touching the eye haha. Stuff like making face flexes also takes a while, which might be why custom characters are rare.)
