A little wacky but i wouldn't mind if this gets in the game

this is good. unless for some reason it isnt

honest to god this is such a fun and cool cosmetic, i would definitely love to unbox one of these.

burning flames stove topper would be expensive!

I know you said you may revisit this with another version, but I think the large flame works well and gives it character. Perhaps instead you could add small/different flame and no flame styles, which might make it more appealing to those who aren't a fan of the cartoony nature of it.

MasKingDark you could always download the mod and try it out in map itemtest. I think that's probably your best shot, since the flame is a quite small and video compression would not do it justice.

Though make sure mat_phong is set to 1. Setting it to 0 makes it less visible.

For an object turned into a hat, this is rather fitting and I see a lot of combo potential with this. Great work!

dang with this being an animated cosmetic i wish we could have seen a small clip of the animation

I think my only issue with this hat, is that its a hat. I love the cartoony fire, just like the waxy wayfinder, but huge. My only issue with this hat is the brim, I really don't think the brim adds to the hat, with many of the combos you provided, I thought to myself "how cool would that look if it were not clipping into the brim?"

Thank you for your feedback Big booty pyro.

I've replied to another person in private on a similar point. At the time of making this i wanted to give pyro a hat that would have a cartoony flame to it. Something that would look playful and goofy and whatnot because I thought it would be a fun item to wear.

I feel like it's entirely within reason if people wanted to see realistic flames instead.

Now this being one of my oldest items, and i've been creating concepts for two years, does lack some of the finesse my newer work does. There's no denial in that but I'm very glad it was made to begin with because I myself thought it wasn't up to par now that I've gotten a lot better. I'll definitely consider returning to this item in the future to concept a V2 with hopefully a better vision in mind.

This is a good submission. Though I can't vote yes for it since I think it's just missing a detail or two that would make it more appreciable.

If there's one merc you could add anything to it's Pyro. Always Pyro, good ol' reliable wacky Pyro. Though one thing that makes cosmetics go from gimmicky to wacky is the little details. Cosmetics should have details that grounds them.

E.g. the Filamental has the lightbulb shape plus wire, Apparition's Aspect has the contoured shape of a sack plus it keeps the googles' geometry, Mr. Juice has the stem, seeds, and copies the Pyro's mask features with fruit.

This has the gas range burner but that seems to be it. The flame in general doesn't quite match the expectation of how a gas fire should look. There's usually like a ring of smaller flames around where the gas seeps from. Not to mention that there's no visible tank from where the gas is stored.

I really think you have a fantastic base right here. I hope this feedback is useful.

Honestly pretty based response and i appreciate the honesty.

Thank you kings

ㅤ@sploinky yoinky Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to be like some mean critics and just say "No" or "I don't think so." I always try to be positive and offer encouragement and feedback where I can.

ㅤI personally think it's alright and works with some loadouts. I can't speak for others though because of it's random nature. What I can say is if you really believe in it, then do it. Hope you have a good day, all four of you.

Honestly, this is actually pretty fucking sick. Stove top concept that still manage to look like a decent hat. The details of the stove top isn't too big, so it doesn't break the continuity of what made this looks like a hat. The circular yellow paint could be done better, but overall, i would actually use this. Great job.

Why only a mod?

I think it would be great if it was only made as a mod. But It's a well made hat nontheless.

Well, The Game Sorcerer, either Yes or No is fine by me. This was one of my oldest concepts and it was made long before this whole "random object on head" comment epidemic. Though i'd love to know what you don't like about it, i think feedback is always useful even if you're not the demographic that would enjoy this kind of hat.

ㅤI don't know how I feel about this. I'm kinda in between Yes and No.

It's a stove top made into an "random object" resembling a hat.

I'd dismiss this as another "wacky object on head" but this unironically looks really good! Great job!

Unlike most things that is item on head this one is actually not bad

I think this looks okay. It needs a bit more polish and I think the flame is a little too big and cartoony. The flame looks too simple that it looks out of place. Otherwise it looks okay.
