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.
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.
Day 2 Update! (Images and links in OP) 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.
