same as below. pretty busy

The texture work is too busy and the colour scheme doesnt work well together.

Add more effort into this man, you can do better

bruh

happiest warpaint creator

I just be saying that if you considered putting your skills that you can compare to the likes of Cordial and Artur you can still produce merc grade skins while keeping them high quality (I could see some of Artur's and Cordials works in the lower grades). If you produce more high quality war paints while making them suit the merc-restricted qualities, I reckon you would have a good chance of seeing a paint added in the upcoming cases. As for this paint, I reckon its the best paint you've produced in a while just remove the secondary with the webs looks a little off imo. But yeah in the end its your decision, I will end my talking here from now on.

I believe you may have been misinformed, although Cordial has been posting paints for a few years now, he prioritizes on effects and has only made 4 paints prior to 2021. Artur on the other hand posted their first war paint in 2021.

Although yeah pumpkin pied may have had a traced pumpkin, it is the only paint of such liking in that case. Also pumpkin pied ended up getting in a pink tier, so not too sure if that is a good example regarding tiers and quality. We had a good selection of merc and restricted skins while quality made. Hellraised, death deluxe and portal plastered make good examples. Although I do understand that you want to focus on merc grade paints, thats allg nothing has to be "God Tier", but if you are openly diminishing your quality its good to consider that you don't have to lower quality standards to produce merc grade level war paints.

404@ I can do exactly the same for the bad ones, also some of thoes you listed if not all of them are made by valve themself and not by the community

There is still amazing quality warpaints in mercenary
Organically hellraised
Leopard printed
Merc Stained
Mannana Peeled
Bomber Soul
Damascus and mahogany, just to name a few

pop@ oh sorry your comment blended in with Juri Han for me for a second, ignore that middle part

pop@ Cordial and Auther + E been in this warpaint workshop in the community for 3 years(from what I been told) making god tier warpaints that people dream of having in game, they don't have a item in.

now if you look at Gadget, he made a traced pie warpaint a month before helloween and it got accepted.

by making a high quality warpaint, I lessen my chances of getting a item in because the higher the tier, less the chances because where mercenary grade can have up to 7 to 12 items, where the other 3 tiers, only 1 - 2 items can be accepted per tier up, lucky to have 3

But if you focus on producing high quality works (like you say you are able to do but don't) aren't you more likely to get something added? It's not that valve doesn't select what is quality, as you can see from last year's halloween case. There is still a good selection of quality war paints, and you'd be more likely to see one of yours in a case if you just followed that same quality. Sure, maybe winter 2020 was a bit different, but it may just be a one-off. Something you can ensure with halloween cases, atleast present in previous halloween cases is consistency of quality.

Juri Han@ Yes, also no to that last part.

>"It's impressive of it's status alone is the best part".
Wow, congratulations. You owned a sparkly version of a weapon. It sure must feel so good to spam non-stop garbage war paints just in the hopes that Valve accepts them and then you can jerk off your ego so much you'll start a fire with it. Your endeavor and constant spam in the workshop is messing over all the actual good war paint creators with your trash just so you can earn sparkly weapon, but it's okay because "Valve accepts garbage so it'll get in.". You are a greedy wannabe leech on the workshop. Stop making skins.

404@ your not thinking on a consumer prospective, creating demand for a item, here, let me put it this way.

People who take part in the work shop wants quality and proper ethical acts on a warpaint which makes up probably less then 10% of the entire TF2 community and most likely don't buy warpaints or TF2 items at all.

The rest of the TF2 community are "oooh! new warpaint, me buy 2.49 key, me need starlight serenity because bright colors"

Status?
It's basically like winning a one of a kind car that got pulled out of landfill.
No one is impressed by that

Renim@ Simply I just want one, something that isn't achievable with money, it impressive of it status alone the best part about that.

I can show it to everyone I know because nobody knows that this little pocket in steam exist, what shown and seen here is basically nothing and will have no impact on me after I come and leave because my community and fame give zero smackers about what I do here, all they care about is what next TF2 lootbox coming out, crap or not, excited to see if I get a item in or not, where I get 2 - 3 "your warpaint is shit" comments here, i get 20 - 35 "I love that warpaint, how do I buy it?" live in a telegram/or discord chat.

The word you are looking for is "Gilded".

if you don't mind me asking why are you trying to get a self made when you claim its not about the money? its not like you would have earned it by flooding the workshop with most of the shit you push out

TacoTown@ Im an idiot, I went to someone about this and told me that this was a "donation button... wow, im sorry, shit, Im a dumbass. I wasn't lying, I was legit being a retard about that

That is literally not what it is. You can keep lying all you want, but let this stand as a record that Servo is not only lying about the workshop's back end to try and manipulate people who don't know better. That is, let this stand until he thinks that this comment section is forgotten and he tries to delete it all.

TacoTown@ Im literally Looking at it, right now, it appears after finalization of submitting a item to the workshop and the item is approve, I am going though the thing right now, it lets me pick a user, website, or forums to advertise my steamworkshop item to, there even a suggestion button so I can to find other organizations to

And I have already told you that I know for a fact you're spouting bullshit. I have friends, friends who I have already asked, about if a button like that does or does not exist. Without question or variance, I have been told that no, said button does not exist. So unless you have a different version of the Steam workshop that people with items in the game don't have access to, you are once again spewing bullshit.

TacoTown@That last part, except the "lie himself out of any situation that doesn't benefit him" I believe that is a advertisment button, even those I never actually used it"

He has vore and a gurenn lagann sans on his profile. we should discard his human rights.

TacoTown@ Well he admits that he purposely shits out these boring and stale warpaints so Valve can notice him and give him the validation he needs in the form of a virtual item in a game. DoNt HaTe ThE pLaYeR hAtE tHe GaMe.

SKEEK!@ I blocked because there a point where people gets annoying, even those when I did block, they still can make a discussion and harass me that way, so blocking doesn't even matter, and the comments i have closed were people who I worked with on warpaint because they can't handle the drama, and I will respect the person im working with for their integrity sake.

So you like it when people pick apart all of the bullshit you spew and point out literally everything wrong with not only your crappy war paints sprayed onto the workshop like so much diarrhea, but all of your crap trying to justify your actions as well? You have yet to say anything here that even makes logical sense, unless the end logic is literally "Servo is a horrible human being who has no respect for anyone but himself, and tries to lie himself out of any situation that doesn't benefit him"

No, you definitely closed comments and discussions before. That, and blocking those with negative criticism so they can't respond further.

Come on.

I welcome comments nagative and positive, I like this one to be memorialized

Yoshicomix@ Im not a bitch, I don't close comments, and I don't close discussions(except once only because the person PM'd me saying he was an idiot and didn't want people to see it)

And disable comments across the other warpaints he shat together since he doesn't want this happening again.

Someone's trying to defend his position against arguments he can't beat
Watch him close comments any minute now

Once more you are BLATANTLY lying about the system to try and dupe people who have no idea how it works.

Servo@ Social media companies aren't apart of that list, that's more meant for people who helped you with the project, also including other groups, such as charity groups. I think you're surely mistaken.

That's not linking to social media OR giving Valve more money you idiot. That's letting you split the cut you would get from Valve with other people who helped you make the item.

Finland Does Not Exist@ about 5 - 10% with fan boosting, I get a 1 - 2% boost any time Zesty Jesus bitches about me on twitter/twitch

That's not how it works.

Regardless, I am very disappointed in you.

TacoTown@ There is, it's called "Add service providers to share in royalties" as quoted:

"You can allocate a portion of Valve's split of the sales revenue with pre-approved third party organizations or individuals that have helped you create this item. You'll be asked to pick from a list of organizations and individuals, and then determine how you wish to split up this revenue between them. This is recommended, but optional."

You are blatantly lying to everybody here about how the back end of the workshop is for creators in order to try and lie about your blatant manipulation of the workshop.

Servo@ No offense, but with a content creator with a big enough following like you, I highly doubt that your fanbase provides a small boost to your rating.

Also quit lying about an advertising button, the best we got is a link button that shares your content across other sites, but does not affect the cut Valve gives you, that would be pointless, due to the large volume of content shared, having Valve take a cut every time you share something would just end up losing them money since most content wouldn't be accepted.

Oh, and your claim about "advertise me" links is total bs. I've got friends who not only make stuff for the game, they actually put effort in and make solid stuff, so their work gets accepted. After asking them, there IS NO "ADVERTISEMENT" BUTTON. There is a "add links" button where you can get the link for social media, but that's it. In addition, IT DOES NOT ACTIVELY TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR REVENUE CUT. I was told that with 100% certainty from someone with actual items in game.

Writing a second comment, and that your constant excuse for making these garbage skins is "Well Valve accepts this type of stuff anyways, so who cares!" is a garbage excuse for you to put in so little effort. You're doing the War Paint equivalent of when someone complains about someone's art being bad, and their response is "IT'S MY ART STYLE!". Grow up and stop making this trash since all you want is a self-made. Since you've already admitted your stuff is just for some pathetic attempt at earning a Self-Made, I hope your skins never get in.

Which is sad in itself the "UHH BUT I GET 50/50 WHEN I DONT DO IT" doesn't matter, if you used this kind of boosting for your talentless warpaints you definitely don't deserve to get a single one of your paints in.

The negative positive rate means fuckall, everyone knows you're using the furry community to boost your ratings up because you simply lack the talent to make an actual warpaint

You've openly admitted to using the furry community to boost your numbers. You're not only pumping out GARBAGE skins, you're also a shitty person.

So that one dude who claimed to be your friend was right, you're just crapping out all of these war paints just to get a self-made. You are the war paint equivalent of a shining example of what NOT to do when it comes to making items for TF2. I know a lot of these dudes who keep spamming these "Items in TF2 but they're a funny hat/beanie/hat" stuff do this because they know Valve will eat it up/both do it for monetary gain, and both you and them are making the workshop looking like a joke, especially with you straight up admitting you are selfish and hope to god Valve adds one of your many spammed minimal effort war paints into the game just for a self-made. That's sad lmao.

Finland Does Not Exist@ true, true, I will admit that, however even when I do do that, it only a small boost even those ratings don't matter entirely. Even without boosting, it meets 50/50 or 60/40 most of the time

also here something you non-creators don't know, there is a "advertisment" button that lets me link my warpaints to facebook, twitter, youtube etc etc, the big trade off is that i have to give up 5 - 10% of my warpaint's revenue.

so meaning, base on the workshop Valve encourages boosting.

Servo@ you really can't say that about your warpaints when you have admitted that you use your furry fanbase to boost your warpaint ratings to look better in the eyes of Valve
