I can’t help but imagine what would happen if the scaling was just shit for this and you had to do the shapes again XD

the modern ship camos that are sometimes called dazzle camos hardly look nor work the same way as the ones used in the first and even second world wars

Although not the traditionally known black and white camouflage, paint schemes on ships like the main team colored pattern of this war paint are still known as dazzle. I did my research to check, otherwise I probably would have changed the name altogether.

Agree with trashbin, the "Dazzle" was lost when it changed from the stripes to the metal

one of the few war paints I've seen that still looks good battle-scarred

i much preferred the original with the black and white, gave it a lot more uniqueness and character and was recognizable as dazzle, but this is an OK revision for people who don't have taste.

I don't think the name fits at all, but it is a pretty nice war paint.

looks really good! should be added.

10/10 Very nice clean and simple design with good colours, easily an A tier paint

everyone here is glazing this warpaint boring asl

Slight addendum since I can't edit the last comment:

I agree w/ the person below regarding the numbers, they just kinda feel out of place. I'm not sure how it can be fixed beyond removing them from the war paint to see how that goes.

It works when its on metal like on the detonator and medigun (kinda), but on the minigun, revolver, or Air Strike, it looks like someone slapped a sticker on an otherwise complete painting to "enhance" it.

It looks pretty good! Though there is some room for improvement, mainly on red.

The color choice I find to be rather off-putting and conflicting compared to how uniform the blue version of the war paint issue. Bits and parts start to stick out more than others and it begins to feel disorienting to observe. Not to mention how the gray at times looks blue on the red version of the paint :/

Perhaps making the gray a more washed out pink/red would help, along with toning the faint yellow to a red of the same saturation (Washed out, but not too faint; just enough to stand out as its own red color).

The blue version of the war paint gets a chef's kiss, absolutely wonderful! Only suggest I could make is having the metal tint more toward blue, though I'm unsure if that's attainable due to the nature of the beast.

Currently a 6+/10, though of red was improved, easily an 8+/10

I think the bolts and edges of the metal plates are still a little much, honestly. Especially with the unlocked orientation. If you kept the solid color and painted details underneath but removed the bolts and edges, I think this would be an incredibly solid warpaint.

If you're insistent on the bolts, see how it looks with them more spaced out, less bright, and maybe a little bigger? Right now they seem to be too small and detailed for the world of TF2.

I also think the numbers detract from the overall warpaint, and would be better without them. It feels like they were slapped on just because you had the option to. Either remove them, or find a way to make them feel less "slapped on" and mesh with the warpaint better, which might require a different icon design.

Love the metal texture. Curious to know what the 07 references. But nice skin, it'd be nice to get another geometric teams like skin, since it's become a bit unobtainable without dropping a bit of cash

They're both good but I prefer the former honestly, but if either got in it would be awesome regardless.

Yeah valve will make a base team coloured if required, but I think its best to keep it as is base wise because Macaw Masked/Helldriver is a horrible base due to its varied scaling, and I don't think orientation lock is much of a necessity anyways.

I think it would look neat if it had a little more dithering on the shapes and a little more work on the colors. Something about the RED medic crossbow pic to me doesn't sit quite right with the color choices like the red and gold hues.

red version is too sandy, but otherwise its nice :)

The red version looks too pink imo the blue looks really nice however

Much Better. Better Colour Combo.

I'm not a fan of the red variant here. The blu one uses different shades of blue that flow smoothly into each other and look nice when paired with the metal and black textures. The red on the other hand is all red team colors, but its not all shades of the color red, which is not only completely different from what the blu version does, but it also feels like a huge downgrade from the blu version. The tan is pretty nice and fits nicely with the bit of red that you do have, but the yellow breaks up the flow for me and the brown really shatters whatever was left.

Much better. Would have gone with white foe the metal parts but its still a nice looking warpaint

it doesnt matter if a base lacks a team color, the janitor was given instructions on how to add them. just use macaw masked and make the gradient textures full white while you ignore the macaw_[color] textures because they serve no purpose.

oh I didn't know that actually that kinda sucks lol

Unfortunately only a select few war paint bases allow for orientation locking and none of them have team colors, meaning I would basically have to start from scratch in terms of my color choice for the main camo texture. Either that or I'd have to make this into a decorated weapon which fat chance of that ever getting into the game, as nice as they generally are. I love my Red Bear shotgun, but we are never seeing its like again. Trust me, if I could orientation lock just about everything, I would.

I would suggest orientation locking the bolts in the metal and maybe making them slightly bigger? Would make it feel more like they were purposefully placed on the weapon and that sort of organized intentional look would make the dazzle camo stand out more through contrast, at least imo.
That and maybe making the pastel yellow and red just a tad darker? or making the brown slightly lighter so all the colors mesh well, because on blue they mix together better than on red.
No matter what you do though I'm super glad to see someone taking in feedback and improving on their work like this, best of luck with it getting in the game!

This is much more appealing compared to Mk. I's busy nature. Great work!

lovely stuff mate

This new verison looks soo much better
Hope to see it ingame!

epic

Great job, lovely to see how the constructive criticisms made in the first submission improved on the outcome!

Agreed, the improvement compared to the first version is very noticeable. Keep up the good work!

Huge improvement

i like it! zesty can still go suck a fat one though

YES! Amazing! Perfect! It looks way less busy now. I love the numbering too!
