I mean this looks awful as a weapon skin, but id like to give props to you for making something the least bit original in this cesspool of pink and blue assassin grade bait starry retro vaporwave ♥♥♥♥.

I actually had an idea similar to this, but it was team colored and scribbled like a child drew the weapon, but I mean hey just another sticker war paint with stickmen could also be cute I guess

this VVV

the paper texture looks lazy and uncreative. the pencil drawings would look more polished if you used a thin graphite brush instead of some cheap square pixel brush in mspaint. the sketches lacks personality, replace the stickmen with stuff related to the game, such as class emblems, weapons, logos, etc.

the graphite texture looks like a low-res image of tv static stretched out to 10x and appears uncanny. the texture would be better off as a solid dark grey color.

the pencil wood texture is better off as solid wood without those lines in place. the lines look jarring in various rotations.

work on your presentation quality. showcasing your war paint under lowest graphic settings while stretched gives off a very amateur impression. having a potato pc isn't an excuse.

if you aren't improving your work, then all these war paints will be on it's way to the last pages of 'most popular' of the war paint category of the workshop, where all the lowest-rated war paints are rotting at.

make warpaints you yourself would personally pay money for your

In order to improve, I suggest researching popular warpaints that have already gotten into the game, especially the ones distributed by Valve. Look at their textures, and see how it compares in style to what you are working on. I also suggest reaching out to other creators or looking for TF2 specific texturing guides online.

I encourage you to not throw "whatever" on the workshop, like some people have been doing. If you want to maximize your chances of getting something in the game, you need to give your best effort.

Honestly i'm just throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks. Thanks for the comments tho it's inspiring

I... mmm, I can't defend every warpaint i come across for the little man, I get criticized saying my warpaint is rushed and half-assed. But this design looks like you ripped three pictures from google and drew on one of them and called it a day.

I would put more thinking into a idea like this because it can potentially be a great idea if more creativity was develop for it, it doesn't even have to be a crazy S-tier master piece. I only expect the bare minimum, and this is below bare minimum.

and you don't have to take my suggestion or criticism, you can upload as much as you want of this, just be ready for butthurt people who can't ignore it.

I hate to say this but theres honestly no good criticism I can give for this. It's straight up low effort with no redeeming qualities other than the fact that the colors dont really clash with eachother but even then the texture details up close themselves are god awful. I honestly think your catostrophic clawamity warpaint looks way nicer than this and I think that warpaint is terrible.

Sorry for the harsh words, I've never really given anyone bad criticism like this, but I think it needs to be said in order for you to improve. I dont even think this warpaint can be improved with criticism to a standard where its could pass at being added into the game unless you do an idea that other people have most likely already done. It's just straight up bad.

Again, sorry for the harsh words, but I think it needs to be said, as I think theres a difference between real effort with thought put into a warpaint (even if it does look bad) and whatever this warpaint is.

I hope to see you improve
