My first War Paint for TF2, thought I might as well do a Halloween themed one.

This post features two versions;

Version 1: The original which is the first set of images, this is the one I prefer however others suggested I make a team coloured version.

Version 2: This is the team coloured version , however it has drawbacks, I had to use a different template which means I cant have custom wear which is what I like about the original as its like the clothes are being torn. The application of the textures is also different in this version, for example you can see the Blue shotgun looks more like it should be the Red, same goes for the Sticky Launcher and Knife. I tried incorporating wood and having the denim for the Blue team and plaid for Red but it lost a lot of the theme or looked random.

Fur is from the yeti textures, denim and plaid handmade in Photoshop. Originally played with the idea of stickers but it always looked quite bad.

I thought it would be cool if the more it wore down the more it appeared like the clothes were being torn and the fur got bloody. Admittedly, like most War Paints, this looks better on some weapons than others, for example, I don't like how the tip of the grenade launcher has plaid as it makes it look more Christmas themed and reminds me of Rudolph.

Version 1 Template is Piña Polished.

Version 2 Template is Civic Duty Mk.II.



Edit: As a side note I am aware it may not fit in the game too well and will try to make my War Paints moving forward a little more thematic.
