are you implying valve cares about the game more than they did 7 years ago

Last is that you need to show how they look in-game because showing the weapons behind a texture doesn't really indicate how they'll look inside the game. I recommend using a TF2 map background that is a bit blurred out. While being your first warpaint it needs some changes

Valve instantly rejects any media culture reference because they obviously don't own it. While some did get in game that was when Valve just didn't actually care about the game at all and didn't follow their guidelines.
You really need to add more weapon showcases, You only showed like 4 weapons and that doesn't help a lot. This REALLY needs a team variant or else it would look weird on BLU. Also you need to tone down that pink, because it's very saturated and you don't really see colors like that in TF2 unless they're meant to indicate something to catch your eyes (Team Intels, direction indicators, etc), i recommend using pastelly/toned down colors. And please make your texture seamless because it will look ugly if it doesn't.

i. need. this

yowzas this is good

I know you said you won't do a blu variant because you're not expecting for it to get into the game, but i genuinely believe that if you add more screenshots and make a blu variant that it has a pretty fair shot. I beg of you please do this im a massive Will Wood fan and i love how this looks

Add more photos And detailů, pls. Now, I vote "ask mě again"

oh ok so its an art project?

added the phong mask ! + this is a will wood warpaint made for fans by fans. it's actually the first warpaint i ever did LMAO so don't get too exquisite because i'm going to find you (/j)

about the blu variants. i'm not going to do a blu variant about this one, but i'm going to do a self-ish one that has both variants. (inspired in the original album and the 2020 remaster)

also THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO FIT THE GAME AESTHETIC THIS IS A WILL WOOD WARPAINT (search the normal album on google!!! please thank you)

Could use some refining, needs a Blu variants, but I think it might work, just might

Also W Will Wood reference

omg the will wood war paint real

wowie zowie

i love this so much it scares me half to death

PLEASE

its cool but still needs that blue variant

like jazzy in that this is themed after a time period that doesn't fit into tf2. jazzy barely gets by because of the sheer funny factor and it's a very rare war paint. this is nice looking but doesn't fit the game.

buenisimo

The name seems strange to me but it reminds me of an arcade so you have my vote.

Problems:
-I can see where the texture's boundary boxes, meaning this is not truly seamless. Enable pattern view while making textures.
-No phong mask evident by the grey-ish off color in the preview images.

Critique: This idea has been done before and it doesn't do anything new to help it stand out. The thin line strokes should be way thicker. More variety with the light sources on the zig-zags could help also.
