If this isn’t team colored then the tiger skin shouldn’t be orange. It looks bad on Blu.

It cannot always be considered inappropriate to add items similar to existing items.
because certain items become very difficult or close to impossible to obtain after few year,

rather than being left with the only one option of spending ten thousand dollars on limited items that can never be obtained again, I think it would be more better to suggest a plan B to users who prefer those types of items.

It may be a problem if it is a copy-paste level item, but in this case, a certain degree of personal design was added, and it was completed enough to be viewed as a separate paint.

Think about unusual effects, most people give positive evaluations to works that arrange existing, very expensive, discontinued particles, and they actually like them unless they are extremely needlessly added, like the firework series

its good, i don't fw it personally but its not bad. Though to bring up the dreaded team recognition talk, this warpaint is gonna look orange on blu team and theres not much you can really do about that (which makes me think i was wrong in saying this warpaint uses saccharine striped as a base)
best way to solve that issue would to make the blu side look like a White tiger (an Asian species of tiger/big cat that looks exactly how it sounds) or a snow leopard

@+fGringaeD thats kinda racist

The only comparisons that you could make with this warpaint to other warpaints in game could be valid, as obviously its what our brains do with pattern recognition. Its Valves choice if they wanna add a warpaint that might be similar to a warpaint thats already in game

I think the texturing looks nice, using saccharine striped as a base giving it that shine i believe? The stripes on this warpaint are way bolder and thicker than tiger buffed which helps to differentiate the style of this to tiger buffed (alongside the metal bolting and the fact this this warpaint IS metal)

@+fGringaeD If you're going to make literal statements back them up instead of going on an emotional roller coaster when challenged on said statements.

@2002 Toyota Camry dont waste ur time, hes a dusch

Tiger buffed does not use similar stripes, the stripe texture does not have plate seams, and Tiger Buffed cycles through a multiple range of colours.
Couple that with the other textures it uses as well as a wooden texture that cycles through variations of browns/ greys and blacks makes it holy different.
If you stop focusing on the fact they both have tiger stripes you'd see the error relating both for that singular reason, you can't see the forest for the trees.

No, Tiger Buffed’s existence doesn’t mean no other tiger stripes-themed war paints can exist, but the fact that you used a similar color palette and a similar(not exact, but similar) Tiger stripe pattern SHOULD mean that this war paint should not be added, because having two near identical war paints is stupid.

"this already exists bro :(" If you're going to make stupid statements like this and then get emotional and lash out, I suggest not going on the internet. I asked for the war paint that uses the textures that I have used, you gave none.

Now you say "theres 2 warpaints that look almost exactly the same theme", please name them, and then open the game and view them for yourself. You might humble your own ass and stop talking out of it.

i mean... you want your war paint to get accepted or not? your mindset isnt doing any favors whatsoever towards improving ur art.
No, theres no exact textures for this warpaint, u r right on that but, theres 2 warpaints that look almost exactly the same theme so either humble ur arrogant ass or dont reply to people

@+fGringaeD show me the war paint with these exact textures, thanks.

this already exists bro :(

Nah, the avian paint can't be improved in my opinion. I like it just the way it is

Next upcoming skin: Macaw Unmasked

seems like a nice skin. i imagine myself with that already

I gotta say i disagree with you harry, this one is just as, if not cleaner and better than tiger buffed, and its a nice alternative too. Could just be me though, personally i love it! Good shit lad

But to each their own

I tried having the lines less linear when making it and it just looked very awkward when applied to a lot of the applicable weapons.
And also yes I know that Tiger Buffed exists in the game, but just because another war paint uses tiger stripes doesn't mean other concepts of tiger striped war paints can't be added. You can't own a concept like that.

Although the thing about the existing Tiger Buffed war paint I heavily dislike is the bright yellow it uses in its textures that make it jarring to look at when mixed with the browns, blacks, whites and oranges that it cycles through with different seeds of the war paint. Also the ugly mannco sticker that is spread through out the wooden texture.

I went for a more militaristic plated texture with a tiger stripe pattern with a singular colour scheme that doesn't change, an albedo tint to add that metallic shine and an orientation lock, as I don't want the chance of having the stripes rotated in an awkward position like Tiger Buffed does.

im sure you are well aware, but it needs pointing out, an extremely similar warpaint to this already exists, and in my opinion, pulled it off better with the gradient.

that aside, i do actually like this but i think that the tiger stripes are a little too linear maybe? some figure to them while keeping the flow in the general direction it is now would be cool to see.
