Must model a character or object from the tf universe in new art style.

I think that needs clarifying, If anyone models a character is it just a reinterpretation in the same style of what the TF2 classes are, or our own made up class in that style?

By 'objects' do we mean weapons aswell? tanks? etc

yes if you make a character you can make you own design but in that style, you can also model weapons tools and anything else in the tf2 universe.
