This is sick, but i feel like it has two issues

The cow skeleton pieces + the clock icon feel like extra details that make no coherent sense with the rest of the effect.

With the second issue being that the effects make the entire weapon get a completely different identity. Getting this on any warpaint besides something very basic and barebone, would look really out of place

Imo, cut the clock, cut the cow skeleton, and keep the rest

Then again, this is an unusual effect for a weapon, so its all g

this would look great in Valorant

hey, that's illegal!

i see ya mate i know we need this for you :)

Looks really good but it doesn't fit tf2 sorry.
But great work!

GAH DAM

Way too gaudy imo

A cheaper unusual effect

saw this and thought of https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clusterfuck XD

didn't remake 8x for the rest of the dragon slayer weapons, smh

this is cool, but itd work better as a separate unusual effect/war paint rather than altogether

more particles yaay

i don't what it takes, we need this in tf2, it will put cod to shame and boost the trading market 10 fold

Very well made and another neat instance of pushing the game's hardware for creativity's sake, but in the end animated skins do not belong in TF2.

I feel like you two would do relatively well in the CS workshop scene, and would maybe be a more proper place to make skins that incorporate your guys' fairly obvious affinity for gothic/spooky/macabre stuff.

Looks sick but if they added it it'd cost like hundreds of dollars or something

good thing this is TF2!

should be added along with other animated skins but they'll all probably cost a fortune

I never said it shouldn’t be added, I said as it stands it doesn’t have a chance. I’d love for this to be added.

I agree with Trojan, you know full well this shouldn't be added to the game, so why upload it to the one platform made specifically for submissions intended to be added to the game?

get this in. NOW

Wicked! Shame the game cant handle it

This goes hard and it looks beautiful but we really don't need animated skins in this game. But both of us know it won't get added to the game and it doesn't fit to the artstyle.

if you know that this doesnt fit tf2 and you know that it (hopefully) wont be added to tf2, why put it on the workshop and not artstation or some other sites that dont have give it any possibility of getting added to the game.

:D

Appreciate the polite critique but this is not only supposed to be an animated war paint, it is it’s own thing, and there is currently no name for it in tf2. It was meant to function similarly to dragon slayer as in that every instance of this weapon would be effectively the same, as in be unusual, FN, and animated. I made the design with the particle effect in mind.

Another thing, I suggest removing the unusual effects from the butt and barrel. Keep in mind, this is supposed to be a warpaint. I suggest having the butt and barrel effects be a separate workshop item. It would look awesome as an unusual effect.

This does not fit TF2's art style. This is phenomenally well made, but it does not fit into the game. This is something you would see in Fortnite, Call of Duty, or even Counter Strike. If you're going to trailblaze animated warpaints, be a lot more conservative and simple with your designs.

Fortnite ass warpaint

so real and true!

finally a skin that fits tf2's art style perfectly, great job! upvoted

:)

It looks really cool! I wish this could be a mod that you can install to see it in game. But over all well done! Very creative too, keep it up and make some more dope stuff.

Looks hella cool, but there's a small part of me that feels like this should be only active around scream fortress / blue moon. (that will suck if it did, this warpaint goes too hard to be locked up like that)
Hopefully when valve adds this beauty to the game, it will not be all fucked up looking.
I wish we can see more of these's unique war paints in the near future!
You did a kick ass job Crowdough, I think a flesh warpaint that pulsates would be kick ass to see next!

sans bros

I'd prefer it didn't have the particle effect cuz that should be reserved for unusuals, but otherwise this is phenomenal.

:)

Even if it worked perfectly in game and valve was willing to add the necessary code to make this one skin function correctly i'd argue it should still not be added.

It looks good don't get me wrong, but this feels more like a fortnite skin than a tf2 one. I dont mean that in a bad way mind you, its just that it would feel really out of place in a game like tf2. Honestly if only the textures were static this would look really cool in game

That parts fair, but that is not how the hazmat headcase situation happened, that was a bit more complicated than that.

This is a skin, and functions similarly to dragon slayer. Its not about quality control, its about the fact it would take special code to implement, and possibly a whole new war paint skin case system. Skins have also not been added in many years.

Remember when the creator of the Hazmat Headcase uploaded a version for Sniper purely as a joke in the workshop? Just because you know it's most likely not gonna get in, that doesn't mean you're free from criticism, as well as you know putting it on the workshop where there's still a high probability that's it gonna get somehow through Valves own negligence of quality control.

Please read the description

This looks like something I'd find more in CS:GO or Black Ops, not TF2.

And while the animated aspect is a very unique visual for a warpaint, the slight glow effect you've given to the colour and the effect used right at the front could easily be mistaken for the critical hit effect, especially since you've team-coloured it.

It might not look bad in a standalone area, but during the middle of a chaotic fight with multiple players, people are gonna be confused, and possibly afraid to approach you out of fear of being deleted right away. Unless that was intentional in which case I do find that funny. Very unfair, but funny.

But I really don't think that it'll fit well with TF2 both in its visuals, as well as during the gameplay.

I love the texture and animation but it would belong more in any other game

Whether it should be in the game or not, I just want to say it's still impressive how much work went into it, and you did a great job on what you were going for

I read the description, I already said, it does not fit in tf2.

:)

It looks cool but animated warpaints don't fit in TF2, sorry

This looks amazing as a skin, but just doesn't fit the game
