The Classy Classes Avatar Pack
Indulge me dear reader; just the other day I was playing a game of Team Fortress Two with my good companion Sir Tygrys when an observation was made. Checking the scoreboards, one notices that many of you are sporting digital avatars that are ill-fitting for such a Gentle Manne’s game.
Now perhaps you can get away with this shameful display on other counties of the Internet, but this is Ubercharged; my companion and I agreed we must do something about it.
And so Sir Tygrys, being a master of the arts, began work producing a collection of Team Fortress 2 inspired portraits tailored for Gentle Menne with an eye for the latest in style. Before presentation I must insist that neither of us will be held responsible if, upon glancing these works of art, your monocle falls into your tea.
But without further ado allow me to present to you our works, complete with the accompanying press release from the newly formed T&T Industries:
T&T Industries is happy to announce the release of our very own avatar pack, more precisely the ‘T&T Industries Classy Classes Avatar Pack’.
This pack was specially designed for all of you who understand the need to be classy in all your digital ventures. This splendid pack comes in two styles: BLU and RED, to suit individual customer preferences. You will find that they have been readily scaled down to 184×184 pixels, so they are immediately ready to use on Steam the very moment you download them to your drive.
All of these spiffing avatars were made by two masters of fine art – Sir Tygrys Murdock and Sir Tesla Sherbonk, with extra thanks to Sir Dont for improving the quality of the original images. Should you encounter either of them during your exploits in digital space, be sure to bid them thanks; they’ll be ecstatic to hear their work is appreciated.
Now go ahead and enjoy this fine art as we have prepared for you.
Remember our motto – quality is of the utmost importance and we strive to satisfy all of our customers.
Signed: T&T Industries Chairman of marketing

You can download the newly improved v2 pack HERE, thanks to our friend Dont. You may also wish peruse the full sized imagery whilst you await the cheeseboard. Lastly, to those of you whom have no interest in showing some class, may I perchance interest you in a job sweeping out my chimney?

Ahah. Pyro’s is adorable.
I’ll be using the soldier one for sure.
Davie responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 3:58 am #
Those are awesome. I think you should have given the medic the Tyrolean, though…

Awesome work fellas

gosh! my monocle just fell into my beloved earl grey tea… what a shame.
nice idea with these pics, but they miss one thing: fancy mustaches!!!

Fine job indeed, dear friends. I admire your hard work and am now downloading the avatars to keep my class anywhere I roam. You truly are dilligent and admirable individuals. Is there any way to express my gratitude to you?

I was wondering where you two and Sion had got those avatars, nice work.
Zorgulon responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 5:03 am #
Cracking job, what?
TheSwordUpsilon responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 5:16 am #
Oh my, what fine avatars. They are truly fit for a Gentleman!

PROTIP: Turn graphics all the way up before you take a screenshot to use as an avatar. The stray pixels… they hurt my eyes.
AP responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 6:24 am #
Hwow! They are really neat! Great job, Gentlemen! I only wish that the pipe was blue for the blue team
But nevermind, they are classy and manly!

Brilliant. Now how about some classy gamesprays?
Dont responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 7:19 am #
@drkPheonix: if you take a look at the full-sized pictures, the anti-aliasing is fine there. The rough edges are probably because of the nearest-neighbor image reduction.
But since I’m being super-nice, I took an hour off and re-resized the pics, now with proper smooth (yet sharp) edges. Here you go: http://www.sendspace.com/file/wikvgr

Awesome! Thanks for making these….I really want a Soldier with a corn cob pipe, in-game. Being a pipe smoker in real life, it would just be cool.
Also, beautiful G-Moddery. Worthy of framing!
UntouchedShadow responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 9:25 am #
These pictures are splendid Tygrys. I’ll be using the Spy one for a sure.
Jasen responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 9:33 am #
@Dont: v2 looks much better. Well done.
TeslaTank responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 11:26 am #
Thanks Dont, not sure how you managed to resize them without making the filesize too big for steam, but good job. I’ll be changing the download link to your own improved versions.

I must say this is a very amusing job!
Lord Zurkov responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 11:47 am #
Hmm… I had been wondering where all the classy avatars were coming from as of late.
Would you care to divulge a link where I may procure the splendid monocle you have used so extensively in your G-modery?
tribestone responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 2:23 pm #
The only shortcoming I can acknowledge in seeing such splendid Modding of Garee is the nonexistance of misc. slot monecules. So tragic… but far beyond your power.
Bunni responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 2:45 pm #
Quite a handsome collectionne of handsomes. I find it humourous that the Gentlemannely Soldier should appeare so confunded. Harke, these are the works of a Manne with class.
himmelstoss responded on 05 Jan 2010 at 3:43 pm #
I quite fancy this, I say, what?
Sion responded on 06 Jan 2010 at 12:36 am #
Does this mean I can steal your personal classy scout picture again?
ExAstris responded on 06 Jan 2010 at 4:46 am #
Ah, such fine avatars for a Gentle Manne such as myselfe. However, I do agree..e… thate they are a bitte pixelat’ed.
Mr. November responded on 06 Jan 2010 at 11:18 am #
what fine portraits these be! Dignified enough to grace the fronte page of my newest grouppe! http://steamcommunity.com/groups/classygroup

I can’t open rar files, so I can’t download them
But nice pictures anyways
Mr. Noobinator responded on 07 Jan 2010 at 1:37 am #
i actually like the pyro! the silliness is well-matched with his/her tendency to think “oooh i wonder if this thing burns?”
and that heavy in the middle. i.want.to.punch.him
Nik responded on 07 Jan 2010 at 4:21 am #
The spy looks scary.
gelugon2105 responded on 08 Jan 2010 at 6:20 pm #
The monocle model is likely heavily modified from the Dead Ringer model. The original models for the top hats and hats are obvious.
Tygrys responded on 09 Jan 2010 at 2:02 am #
I got the models from Gentle Manne’s pack somewhere on facepunch. I don’t have the exact link so if you want them, you have to lurk around a little on facepunch.
