This gun was heavily inspired by the 80s Sci-Fi classic, Tron, and it's successor, Tron: Legacy.
Progress
I began by understanding the physics of being "Derezzed" with a simulation of a few thousand (4,320 to be exact) cubes in Blender 3D.
I saved the physics information as an animation, then rendered out an image that would serve as a good base for the design of the skin.
I then began sketching the very rough concept of what my design would be over the render.
After smoothing out the rough edges, I inserted the infamous Tron Disk, with it's own trail that was making for the effect of "Derezzing".
Fearing the the Tron Disk would count as intellectual property, I replaced it with a high caliber bullet, giving the bullet the outlines and slight glow to match the aesthetic of the rest of the piece.
The remaining background was blanked out and cubes were added to add to the effect.
(My feverishly thrown together texture)
And I applied it to the AWP to make for the finished skin.
