PC - CS:GO | M4A4 | Parallax ~ FINISHED!
Design Thoughts:
I'm going for a slightly more subtle, still vibrant type of skin. The primary 80's influences come in the form of neon accents and a Cyan/Magenta/Green color palette. I'm currently looking for a way to fit the theme a bit better without going overboard.Most Recent Version:

Design Influences:
The shape of the accents were inspired by the title font here. Link: http://s32.postimg.org/97lhefrsz/Hardwire_book_cover_optimized_X1.jpg
This was a color palette inspiration. Link: http://s32.postimg.org/q6jtyi8zn/tumblr_lsxdulrxbn1qdnejuo1_1280.jpg
Another color palette inspiration. Link: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4a/43/5c/4a435c25d3138053f3407b41c8550431.jpg
This one should be pretty obvious... Where do you think the blue accents came from?
Link: http://cdn2-b.examiner.com/sites/default/files/styles/image_content_width/hash/27/06/tron_28.jpg?itok=FlPDBNpq Design Direction:
Day 1:
- Rough out stellar pattern.
- Add planetary body.
- Accent using neon colors.
Day 2:
- Flesh out accents. Got a few accents done, but not much real progress.
- Possibly add another planetary body. Didn't get around to it today.
- Possibly add 80's grid pattern ( will cite inspirations after some research).
Possibly throwing this idea out, there are several grid inspired skins so far. - Possible Quick Release? Stay tuned! It's not done just yet.
Day 3:
- Add a more distinct design/pattern to the stock. Incomplete
- Extend space scene to the forward grips. Completed
- Look for something to link the skin closer to the sci-fi of the day. Somewhat complete? Unsure yet.

EDIT: Links are now included!
Didn't get much actual work done, other than a few accents. Today was mostly a planning and research day.
On the bright side, I made the image links into actual links since I forgot to do that the first time around
Change Notes:
- Added accents to muzzle break
- Extended space scenery towards the magazine.
- Added neon accent to the narrow part of the stock.
Design Thoughts:So far, I'm unsure where to go with this skin. I feel like it needs more a more direct connection to the sci-fi of the time. At this point, the only major 80's influence is the neon accents. I could possibly use more inspiration from the 70's with a little care, but I don't want to overdo anything.
Again, the images and links will be edited into the OP.
Change notes:
- Extended space scene to the forward grips, magazine, and rear grip.
- Introduced a gradated grid pattern.
- Changed some colors in the background.
- Added some stars to the original star-field pattern.
I'll be submitting this version to the workshop. Though there may be a few minor tweaks and fixes, I think this design has gone as far as it can thematically. The only changes that are planned would be the painting of some currently unpainted parts.Added workshop submission page to OP.
Looking forward to seeing what people have to say!
