What are yall on about red bear is made by valve believe it or not small amounts of non team colored parts are totally fine this will never hurt team recognition and valve isnt stupid enough just to see red and go, “durr, can’t add it!” You do realize blood spatter shows up on almost every paint in the game at low wears right? I know this is old but the posters paint did nothing wrong in terms of team recognition, and y’all thinking team colored stickers will help chances of getting in is funny af considering it requires a lot of code valve won’t even think about doing. Just sick of seeing this shit on perfectly fine war paints in terms of team color

STICKERS CAN'T HAVE TEAM COLOUR I'M GOING TO TEAR OFF MY BALLS

Very well made, but you defs need to work on the sticker a bit to make it look a lot more worn out since it sticks out very weirdly. A blue version could also be fun but honestly its not a big problem. Otherwise good work!

Hey man spectacular job!

Once again you can't add team colours to stickers

I think a blue star might actually be needed. Valve have been mostly consistent about team colors. I still think a blue star would look weird, but it might help your chances of getting it added.

this is why i still believe in the tf2 workshop this shit good as hell
Grimlock 4 Dec, 2023 @ 7:22pm 
Looks amazing. Would be great to have the star team colored, but not needed

Says military in Russian

on the tip of the shotgun what does it translate into?
MechaSixVII 3 Dec, 2023 @ 7:41am 
The 'factory new' having rust is also kinda funny.
MechaSixVII 3 Dec, 2023 @ 7:37am 
It's beautiful work and it is thematic. Profit seeking mercenaries use surplus military hardware, because it's cheap (or stolen). It's incredibly realistic and might do with a few bit more cartoony flourishes but this is a very minor nitpick.

Thank you, I agree that battle scarred looks the best!
SpaghettiiWithJuice 24 Nov, 2023 @ 8:45pm 
i'd 100% use a battle-scarred version of this as my shotgun and air strike, it looks so awesome on those two especially.
Eagly 16 Nov, 2023 @ 8:40pm 
i want this for my rocket launcher in strange quality
Pew Pew  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 9:43am 
I agree that it looks better with wear, it was basically designed specifically for high wear but that's also why the spaces between the panels have rust on them (to add more interesting stuff to the skin when its factory new)
Оганессøн 16 Nov, 2023 @ 8:51am 
I may be biased but i really like it.
Looks so badass in higher wears, but surprisingly not so for my taste in factory new (still really good, don't get me wrong).
Which is interesting, considering lots of warpaints tend to look like shit if weared down, some creators don't even show how it looks like outside FN.
I have made something similar recently, but not so communist-related.

Most likely
Pew Pew  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 4:18am 
Could be because it’s based on a T34 tank
Fire 16 Nov, 2023 @ 4:09am 
Im still not sure, yes on paper there are similar textures to this in the game, but it still feels kind of off. Like i said, it looks like something you'd see on a military grade jeep or something like that
Pew Pew  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 3:44am 
@NotDaveorDaniel Thank you! It uses mechanized monster as the base (same as park pigmented)
Pew Pew  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 3:41am 
Thank you! Yes the war paint is indeed based in part off of the already existing green weapons in TF2 such as the reserve shooter, air strike and liberty launcher. Any elements seen on this skin has been done numerous times before so I know as a fact independent of my own opinion that none of it violates any appeals to artstyle (which by the way, I have certainly have a firmer grasp on than you, scrumpeh). I would like to do a public service announcement and say this: just because your favourite youtuber said something negative about green war paints once in the context of an ugly war paint does not mean it’s universal.
xX_peak_Xx 16 Nov, 2023 @ 2:47am 
@me bottle o scrumpeh

But here's the problem, I don't think you understand TF2's artstyle that well. It's not cartoony, it's much more of "realistic materials redone with brushstrokes", which seems to be done on the black texture, as well as on the brown wear.

Likewise, the textures here aren't at all overly serious, they fit other warpaints you can see in game. These have always been a bit "off" in terms of their style, due to the amount of details seen, but that's been a problem ever since Gun Mettle when valve themselves made very off-putting decorated weapons. This one is much more fitting than many other skins, and actually fit such weapons as Liberty Launcher or the Reserve Shooter.

And finally, I've skimmed through the TF2 maps and around 25 (tried not to include halloween reskins) maps have a grassy/foresty setting. I thin it's enough to warrant a green color.

It looks like actual military grade shit, thats my gripe with it. Tf2 isnt "actual military". Oh and, im not the biggest fan of mechanized monster and stuff like that anyway, but this is even worse than mechanized monster in not fitting tf2 because mechanized monster at least uses grey tones, but this uses actual camo like colors. Heres some advice on how to fix this: Revamp the textures to look more caroony and not so overly serious, like tf2, and also revamp the colors to be a little more "dessert-y" i guess. Just make it look it its a part of tf2
Pew Pew  [author] 16 Nov, 2023 @ 2:25am 
How is this any less of a TF2 skin than say, uranium or mechanized monster?
Fire 16 Nov, 2023 @ 2:06am 
Its a good skin, just not a tf2 skin
StopMakingSense 16 Nov, 2023 @ 12:07am 
shame bc I really liked it at first
Pew Pew  [author] 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:59pm 
Stickers can not be team colored, and even if they could I would not do it, it’s a soviet red army star so making it blue is antithetical to the whole concept, not everything that has red nees to have a blue variant or vice versa. As for the text it is too late to change now
StopMakingSense 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:54pm 
the star seems a little too big and out of place
NotDaveorDaniel 15 Nov, 2023 @ 11:31pm 
@anarchist I wish we could have team colored stickers but as of now valve has made it not possible
orix_1337 15 Nov, 2023 @ 10:52pm 
Really nice, but i'd like to suggest replacing "военный" with "наёмник". And also make star team-colored
Pew Pew  [author] 15 Nov, 2023 @ 7:35pm 
It has phong shading though not that much, I was using mat phong 0 in my pics which I realized only half way through, but it was never meant to have any intense phong shading anyway, the effect is very muted with mat phong 1
Woshee 15 Nov, 2023 @ 6:22pm 
you should enable phong shading.
Morton 15 Nov, 2023 @ 3:20pm 
Save it for Summer Update 2024.
NotDaveorDaniel 15 Nov, 2023 @ 3:07pm 
Love how the text turned out. What's the base?
Berserk Beakie 15 Nov, 2023 @ 2:26pm 
The custom wear, the old theme, the detail, lord have mercy I'm bout to bust
