Wow acumen, I was going to post my WIP TF2 asset but damn, that blows my noobie stuff into the water.
This is my first non-crate model really, at least one I plan on implementing into something that is. So, just give me some pointers. It's untextured, but I'll work on it once I finalize my model itself. XD Anyway, was having a bit of fun with an idea I had:
Pyro's Love Armband
Now before I post the screenshots and have people go all "wtf why the pyro?", I decided to start a joke I was planning on making first in my machinima project (don't ask me how that's going btw, have the stages and then need to get a modeler better than I or become a better modeler myself to do player models) which was a recreation of a specific OP scene to an anime I quite like.
Basically this Misc item idea is based off this anime (A little NSFW, a bit sexual for western tastes) that I think I've posted before around here somewhere. Since the pyro's gender is labeled as a s/he (much like another game I fancy) by the TF2 developers frequently, I thought it would be funny to play it as though pyro is another one of cutie honey transformations in the machinema I planned to do (and probably will do at some point.) Well, this submit your custom assets thing is just too good to pass up, so I decided that while I practice my modeling for something bigger, I may as well try to make some TF2 worthy assets!
This is really one of my first attempt at modeling something that isn't a damn crate (why I can't do a machinema just yet) but I'm liking the way it's turning out so far. Untextured Results:

Texturing is my next step, but I think I wan to redo the dangling part of the band, and maybe give it jiggle bones! The band is a bit lower on the arm but that was the only place I could put it without it messing up and getting stuck inside the pyro's armpit (which is rather low, probably because s/he wears such baggy clothing) I don't know though, this submission isn't really that of serious-ness and more for practicing. BUT, valentines day is coming around the corner, and it would sure make a funny unlock (If you know anything of this series of Japanese animated history). 
Decided to do something anime because, well, a good source for getting cartoony content no? 
P.S. Yes, I hope to also have the Choker be packaged with the armband as the same piece, but I'm not sure what the limitations of TF2 misc items are.
