Creator of Jack Gourdon /model fix to the intended design

I submitted the design for Jack in early fall of 2019, the model wasn’t done correctly
I have mentioned this briefly over the years but I have done some models lately and got around to making the fix for the skin.

Jack was my live streaming virtual persona from 2017-2019.
The skin was not based on anyone despite others assumptions as the “Pumpkin halloween party suit” is not the festive jackolantern suit people contrast it with when comparing tom hanks/ David s pumpkins although I do like the similarity tbh.

I will also be including the original image and a explanation on the set that was never included

The custom artwork was a example with a different texture when I provided it I also provided other image samples for the texture, face, and emote
The emote being electro swing

the Back bling (flare spirit) resembles a skull in a more child friendly manner, with a trail behind it, the intention was for it to peak Left and right for upper and lower areas of the chest. depending on idle and combat.

the sample provided for electric swing was also meant to have a slightly dulled music tone on eliminations at the time so it wouldnt impede gameplay audio to much

the harvest was a classy sleek black umbrella meant to have the white binding be on color pallet with the edit styles (orange, white, gold) the end of the umbrella being a fire in the shape of a Pickaxe/sythe

Jack Gourdon wasnt really meant to be part of the pumpkin patch set but part of its own set
" ಠ_ಠ ignorant ಠ_ಠ " which was also the original name that was dropped by staff in place of Jack Gourdon.
I can only imagine they dropped the original backbling and harvest tool to make a job simpler with it included as part of the pumpkin patch set.
I gave the concept design for free with no compensation even having to buy it myself when it released.

I have recently taken the time to redesign the face for jack gourdon and did so in a way, that uses the default textures. but adds the eye, iris, and pupil in addition to it.

to reshape the head using the boolean tools and other I had to remove the few shape keys that will need to be set back but it only takes a few moment to do.

made a small edit for the lower mouth cut and added stiches




I would like to see the intended design get put into the game.
again I got no compensation in the past I just ask that the edit style get added, please allow a fix for the design.
and if any chance the backbling/set w audio may have a chance to make it into the game later

I do have a new skin submission fully modeled with base textures you can find when looking here under my post history (files included aswell)
