PC-CSGO | AWP | Robot Faces

oDD

I really want to make something for this contest. My first idea is to make a pattern finish as it is an underused style. Because of the mid rarity and big flat surface AWP is great choice for my skin. Spray-paint style tiles really well but Anodized Multicolor has that great specular effect:

My idea is to create a pattern of cool robot faces, first quick and dirty test:

I can see the design is to complex, contrast too strong and there is too much negative space. In order to test things quickly I'm coping my one head many times, in the finished skin all the heads will be different:

And that's where I'm at now.

It's funny, but I would rather try it on mp9 or bizon.

K_A_S_I unfortunately the other weapons don't tile too good with this finish style


I've collected some references


And doodled some cyber heads:

The tiling shouldn't be an issue when you use a spray paint finish. It will get projected onto the model.

K_A_S_I

Those heads looks cool, maybe  you can combine many of them into one pattern?

EMKAY Ive already tried that in the first post, without the shine it looks bland and more like a pattern on a pijama
K_A_S_I thats the plan, glad you like the heads

thanks for the comments guys, here are some more sketches of heads:


and I'v created a quick mockup how the gun might look, everything is badly drawn for now but it gives you a general idea:

Great job in capturing the era in your designs, they look really period-accurate.
The one in the top left of the sepia toned image looks like a robotic cenobite. Very cool.

Gaunt: thanks man!

I did the math, I'm gonna need 24 heads total. Here are some more:



I would love to use the Space Core from Portal but I don't want to risk breaking any rules.

Considering your last in-game preview I would likely scale the pattern down a bit, so a bit less heads are being cut and non-readable due to it. It might also look great with super small size, like 1/3 of current, try it out and show as how would it look.

oDD

K_A_S_I I scalled the patter donw a bit, but i wanted it to be still readable when you are holding the gun

here are all the finished heads:


and here how they look on the gun, i played with the colors a little:


I will upload the gun now because there is no more time to work on it, there will be more screenshots in the workshop entry, stay tuned :P
