So I started my second skin for the contest. I just needed a break from the
Bizon - N.O.R.T. skin
I just uploaded the Skin to STEAMWORKSHOP <-- click hereMy newest skin isn't exactly inspired by a 70s or 80s scfi something but it would definitley fit in there, so I just collected a few pics that transport the message.

First of all, I needed a gradient, but the skin itsself shouldn't just be a gradient, projected on a gun. I was thinking of leaving a free area in the style of the inspiration but that seemed to be to close.

So I reduced the free area and focused on leaving blank space for other materials and highlightening crucial areas. Sadley I didn't take screenshots of my first try

After tweeking the materials and ambient occlusion map, I think I am pretty much done with the Skin. What do you think about it?
