VALVe as asked that the pinups from the Dogfighter be removed from the item
I was lurking the the TF2 facepuch emporium subforum when the creator of the Dogfighter responded to a request asking for for a mod version of the item, he responded by saying:

Sorry for getting back so late... Yeah as far as mods goes I didn't want to make a mod until after the winter update. (No opening up your presents early kids ^_^) But if the item isn't released I'll definitely think about it! What I was planning on doing was if the item did make it in the game, I would release a High Definition texture replacement mod so the pinups would come in better. (or even be on it at all because Valve contacted me and wanted me to remove them and I have)

So when the item gets in it wont have the pinups on the back, im a little sad as i felt that the pinups were one of the things that made it special

I hope you didn't stay too long on that forum... Things got a little nasty. ^_^ Alot of love/ hate for my pinups. Anyways I respect Valve's decision.

As far as I can see, there are 3 reasons they wanted them removed and I respect each.
1) They didn't want anything depicting sexuality (no matter how tasteful) on one of their items.
2) They thought it made the item too busy so clashed with their artstyle.
3) They have no way of truly knowing that I made the pictures from scratch. Say if they placed an item in the game and then found out the creator stole an image and placed it on their item (I didn't just saying), The original creator of that image could sue them for using their artwork without consent.

So don't get mad at Valve for wishing to avoid any conflict. Yes, I agree with you that the pinups were a big part of the jacket and I spent a lot of time making them, but it's cool that this item is probably going to make it in teh game!

I proposed to Valve that I would release a mod, if this Item got into the game, that would add the pinups back in.

I think this is for the best as Valve is covered and the people who liked the pinups will get to have them.

So cheer up, and most of all, dont blame Valve...

It does makes sense that Valve removed the pinup from the back because of depicted sexuality and that they think the art is stolen. However, I still feel like it had a specific uniqueness that gave the Dogfighter it's style. Either way, You have made an AMAZING misc, My friend!
