PC-CSGO | AK47 Valkyrie

I guess I'm doing this.
My Steam Workshop

I'm working on a AK47 skin based on 80's sci-fi Anime like Akira, Macross and Transformers.

Where I'm at now...



In Workbench w/Background



I'm not sure how I feel about the grips right now. I like the color but the indentations are a little funky because of the way the UVs are laid out. I'll probably go back and work them.

very good skin , I like the blue details in contrast with the red color , keep up the great work mate

RobStites

Made changes to the grips and stock. Think I'm going to redesign the glowy vent-thing next.

look so much better now , its clean and fit totally with the idea , are u thinking to add some yellow details more ? I think that would be a nice addition probably .

You mean like the yellow on the front of the gun? I had some other parts with that color, but it looks like they're not painted in game.

Nice work capturing the mecha feel from the period. Kaneda's bike is still one of the coolest vehicle designs ever.

Thanks dude.

I found an earlier WIP I had sent to a friend and figured I'd post it. I had just finished roughing in the panels on this side of the gun and was playing with sticker bombing the magazine. I didn't really like how it looked after I got more than a couple on there and they distorted badly coming round the seam at the back of the magazine, so I gave up on that idea.

RobStites

Got rid of the barcode and made a new symbol to go on the side that matches the name a little better. Removed the other text because I didn't feel like it matched the theme. Testing out the wear pattern now. Tried to take some screenshots that show the detail of the texture better.

Submitted my entry.

Was in the top 3 for a few hours then got hit with a wall of hundreds of no votes from out of nowhere? This is now the lowest rated skin I've ever made for the workshop, lol.
