metal texturing could be a bit better

a pretty good warpaint but we already have one that looks mostly like this

why did this gain traction again?? :0

sorry big man this just doesnt vibe w me

nice

That took like 5 minutes to create.

I feel bad for the creator of Blackout, out of everything they could pick from them, they pick the jab at team serviced look alikes.

Good stuff, good stuff.
Those details are exactly what I was missing from Team Serviced

Again, I very much appreciate some actual critical analysis on this and will take the parts I feel really apply to this into my next work (such as not doing camo paints or to add more color into my work). The points I did speak on I feel comes from either a slight misunderstanding and something getting lost in translation or a lack of insight on how war paints are created and what goes into making them.
Thank you for taking the time to look and speak though, I have a lot of respect for people who give genuine critique on the workshop.

-While I will admit that I made this on a whim just so I had an excuse to make a galvanized steel texture, I have made many other paints with clear themes and wanted a change of pace. Something simple, with colors almost entirely chosen form the base game's color palette.

-Lastly, on the first comment you made, I feel I made the actual texture work stand out more compared to team paints already in-game. Blackout, Team Detail and Team Serviced has okay to very shoddy texture work, some not even utilizing the specular alpha channel that makes some of my favorite paints stand out.

(gonna have to do this in two comments, sorry lol)
I understand and appreciate the critique, but some points that I feel have been misunderstood with this paint:
- There is no camo on this, the grey texture is supposed to be galvanized steel. The same galvanized steel texture is on the team color as well as to not make it too solid.

-This is more semantics on my part, but this uses 4 textures. Brighter team color, a subtle team colored grey, dark grey/black grip texture and a brass color to balance out the colors.

Thanks for allowing me to share constructive criticism
For one thing, a war-paint that's just 2-3 colors with team color has already been done a lot. There's a lot of war paints with the team color and some grays, blacks, or browns, and the majority of those don't even get accepted for the game. Another type of war-paint that have been done to death is camo patterns, avoid making camo patterns.

Second, there's really a lack of unique theme, some artistic originality. The best war-paints I've seen have a colorful pattern with a clear, concise, and creative theme. Try making a themed pattern that's unique and stands out. I usually look at patterns of things that I like and create a pattern out of that.
I noticed is the lack of real appealing or eye-catching color. Some people don't like fully saturated colors, but saturation doesn't really matter as long as it has appealing colors. The best war-paint ive seen have vibrant colors such as Jazzy or Stardust

I hope this advice might help

@Grape Juice Gaming do ya mind elaborating so that I could do better for the next paint?

This is a basic as you can get with the TF2 war-paint. in other words, it's mid.
