I've started work on a desert eagle weapon finish design for the PC CS:GO contest. I will post updates as I make progress. I am using this image as inspiration:
Update 1: This is what I was able to come up with. I wanted to make a design that depicted a strange planet's surface with other planets in the background. So far I am pleased with the results. I will most likely make some changes, however I feel it is ready to be tested in-game. I will work with the alpha layer next. I also plan on adding some color to the grip, however I have not decided what to do with it yet. Until the next update. -FailBucket
Update 2: I was able to change the alpha layer so that it would wear the way I want it to. Here is what the wear looks like as it gets worse in quality.

Update 4: I have uploaded my work to the workshop. I am now finished with my design. Here is the link to the workshop page.

Update 6: I have updated the planet color. Through this change I hope to blend the planet with the background a little more, hopefully making it more visually appealing to the eye. I am working on fully updating the workshop submission at this time.
Update 6: I am leaving the workshop submission hidden for the time being. I would like to work more on this skin before the deadline. Until then, I will keep you all updated.
