Hey, I'll have that hud replacement up soon, but i just saw something, you never voted for the Negotiator! You faved it though ;D

Btw, it is a competition. You can ask me for any ideas or anything. Right now I have one other person working on it. And a few others who might do it.

Ok, that is all you need. Photoshop Elements, that is perfect. It is what I use. Ok, so you open GFCscape, and find the file you want. Import it into photoshop. Then when you going to save it you should get a plugin called VTF Plugin, that way you can save the skin file directly from photoshop. I am not sure where you find the plugin, it might be on here.

And as for the avatar and upic. Just make it TF2 related. Here are some things that might help. I am a battle medic, I also am an okay spy. For the avatar just make it have a J or some J's in it. Because I like to be able to be recognized just by my avatar. I am not sure what else you need. I had it pretty easy when I had my avatars made. Since the heavenly and all might Wossname made it for me, it was easy to get something I liked. I perfer red team over blue. And as for the upic, just make it the same font as the J or J's that are in the avatar, and maybe add like a medic melee weapon in there. Similar to what I have now.
Here are the 2 sets Wossname made me:

You can use them as reference. They are awesome, I know. Maybe you can throw some blood in. I don't care if it is hand drawn or what not. Name your price.

LOL, dammit, I did confuse you. It must be because you are both on my watch list.

BTW, do you think you can make me an avatar and upic? I am getting tired of mine. It is an old one. I will pay you points.

And I see you want to learn how to skin, if you want I can teach you how since I find it to be quite easy.

Hi, I like your cuddle pyro.
