I am looking for a picture to use for a new MOTD on the server. What I am looking for is a drunken TF2 picture. I would like it to have 5-8 models, some bottles and a few party things. I am going to have to place some text on the picture so while the players should be the focus, they can't take up more than 2/3 of a block of the picture.

In other words, I need an area on the picture that would be suitable for text. I could put a white filter over it but I don't want it to cover up the primary focus of the image.

If anyone has any questions let me know. Sam posted some similar pictures but they weren't exactly what I am looking for.

i wont be suprised if captain picks your picture for it. but if your doing another one he said he will like bottles and drunk party theme or something like that like in mine its a party there all holding beer bottles and there drunk and theres gifts and stuff.

A friend of mine did posing for a while. Got pretty good at it.

Any chance you still have the large original picture without the text?

I wish Captian, really sorry but i had to reinstall steam the other and i lost all pics

I can make one just like that one tho if you want.

That's exactly the kind of thing I am looking for.

I need to pratice posing sometime

Perfect. I'll put something together later this week or this weekend when I get some freetime.

This is my first time so... hope you liked them

Here is another i made recently

Sorry i didn't make any, I was just TOO FRICKEN LAZY!!!!!

K here is some from Lumberyard.

Some more views.....

And last but not least, the Drunken Soldier one, i thought he looked cool.

SO yea a bunch of pics for ya captain although same scene but diff angles :P

YAY I LEARNED TO USE EMMITERS
Here are some I made with no text. I know they are a little dry.
Here is on where the pyro is riding the flamethrower through the sky. Here is one where the blue team replaces the cart with a WWII German tank. If you want more flying pyro pics, maybe an airbattle or even a flying pyro with a whiskey/beer, or another tank one, maybe without the uberspy, Private Message me on steam, and I'll see what I can do.

I lopve all of these pics. My plan is to use a bunch of them and make it random which one you get. As soon as my work dies down i'll have at it.

Throw in the pyro doing a rock out symbol and that is going in mah wallpaper.

I took 19 pictures from this thread and finally made a new MOTD. I made it work real slick and made it so I could update it without editing all of the pictures beyond resizing. This will allow me to add new images quickly so that forum members can submit new imiages and it won't be a big pain for me to update.

I have two things I need to figure out before I change over to the new MOTD:

• 1.) I don't know how well this will work in Internet Explorer 6. Steam uses Internet Explorer to serve web pages in game and in their steam client. If anyone has IE6 they get a shitty version of the current MOTD and a message telling them so. The new one makes a better effort to serve the same MOTD to all browsers, although there are some IE6 only tweaks. If anyone really cares I could bore them to death about how shitty Internet Explorer is.
  
  2.) I don't know if it will work in game. I am not sure in-game steam can support background images, although valve did just update steam to provide better web support.

Anyway, I am not going to switch it over to the new MOTD until I can test and make sure it works properly but here it is: http://gaming.calculatedchaos.com/motd/motd.php

This has absoLUTELY nothing to do with TF2, but I think itll fit the "Drunken Picture" description.


or not...
Simply Put: RUN LIKE HELL!

MOAR!


and one epic pic for good measure XD
