Okay so I may just have changed my idea. I came over these amazing posters/artworks from 73-83 and I couldn't help but getting inspired. If I find the time I might finish the other idea aswell, but until then: Welcome to my new submission for the Polycount CSGO weapon finish contest!
For you who haven't read my other submission post: My name is Amanda, I'm 19 y/o from Sweden and I've been working with graphic design for quite a while. I've never made a skin to cs before, but I think (hope) I'll do fine anyway.
Reference imagery & a rough sketch of my main motive.
I dig the design. Nicely painted. Think you'll add little bits of tech to tie it in with your 3rd reference image or something?
Yes, I'll add symbols/some pattern to the places the bird won't cover, and the bird itself will get another look in the end. Less tropic and more scifi, my plan is to do something with it's eyes, kind of like "laser beams" cause from what I've seen that seems to have been a thing back then Thank you for your comment and nice words btw, appreaciate it

I'm gonna resize the head so it fits better to the body, I'll also add more details to the structure, but so far so good.
WIP 2
Slowly getting there
edit: I'm aware of that it doesn't look sci fi yet, but trust me, the end result will be different
Really funny you mention the laser beam eyes. That's what I'm doing
