i see what youre going for, but the execution is just kinda lazy and off. a similar warpaint, blackout, does a similar idea with much better results. even if at base color, a little bit of texturing goes a very long way

100% white and 100% black do not fit in TF2 in the slightest. Please try using an off-white and a grayer black texture instead

Nice concept, but it kinda hurts my eyes.

my grammar bad but i hope it is legible

violates tf2 are style by being completely Black and Completely white, making it very hard to look at. I would had prefered a clean paint texture for simplicity instead and a more toned white and grey, instead this is bucket of 255, 255, 255 on a canvas(or at least that is what it looks like)

Maybe you should lighten up the black, and darken the white just a bit.
Solid colors do not look good in TF2's artstyle at all

Antichamber: The Warpaint

I've seen your other work, and this is just a huge downgrade. I know you had to do all the complicated stuff to make it, but it seems like it just wouldn't fit and gets very close to breaking the art style. Also, dont turn tf2 into modern art, I made a joke about a muesum showing a green square and when I went to one I found one in the modern art section without even knowing it would be there. Maybe try adding a random logo or something and less vibrant colors.

I like how people are calling it lazy but it looks pretty good in my opinion. I love skins like this: simple, not too much detail. It looks pretty nice and bright as well.

The white and the black are way too vibrant to not be an eyesore in game. Fits the portal 2 art style more than the tf2 art style.

Mind if you guys uhh, rate CS:GO's whiteout skins?

0 effort

Hey guys, I have a new idea for a design. I’m gonna just make the entire model orange. It’s minimalist!

this is 1 of the laziest items i have ever seen on the workshop.

It’s fucking genius.
FUCKING GENIUS

Possibly the most lazy design I've ever seen on the Workshop.

Minimalistic art is just another word for "I'm too lazy to make an actual design".

Is carp

Valve'll never add this. They don't care whether you put in effort. They only add things that REFLECT effort. Not only is this garish and unsightly, but it also shows complete lack of such. A pattern, even if barely visible, would improve it, but to Valve, it's not minimalism. Nor is it to the observer.

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo_Baer#/media/File:Korean.jpg

The focus isn't the white/black. If this were the case, there'd be no reason to consider it art. A blank square has no focal point, and there's nothing to convey meaning. It won't be taken seriously.

It's not the case. The blankness of the canvas leads the eye to look for something missing, and it's found in the top border, with a pattern that shows a purpose to the piece, and thereby encourages analysis.

That's minimalism. This is simply two colors combined with no effort to provide a focal point.

Like your lackluster attempt at a design, the difference is black and white.

Minimalistic design still has some form of style or varient to it that makes it look eyecatching, and just using straight up black & white doesn't do that. There still needs to be some sort of effort put into it that looks like you've put effort into it, and just using solid colors doesn't even do it.

I'm sorry, but these just aren't great, and if people are saying they don't work for the impression you're trying to go for, then you really need to move on and try again.

Unless this is all an elaborate joke and you're taking the piss out of this warpaint craze, because I'm refusing to believe this was made unironically.

personally to me, it doesnt look like a design
it looks like it belongs as a sample texture

And that's exactly the point of a minimalistic design.

if theres less effort, less quality, because you not trying

this is litteraly just two colors matched into one, no pattern, no anything
maybe you could add like a design?

I'm fine with that, everyone can have their own opinion, that comment was only directed at people who only criticise based on effort, which is outright stupid.

I don't care about effort, it just looks terrible. Really garish and eye hurting.

Jesus some people are stupid, it doesn't matter a single bit how much effort was put into a warpaint but rather how it looks.

sure, it's low effort, but personally I think it still looks good

yikes.

this is atrociously low effort, stop this now
