Hey look, it's another Tron-based design.
I should've expected it to be more common, but it was the first association I had after stumbling upon this contest and I just rolled with it. The concept was simple enough - outline the gun with blue lines.
It's that image again.

Because I'm a sucker for learning by doing I jumped right into the UV-Editing and after too many hours this was the first result.

The design is fine, but the execution was piss poor. So I started over again, trying to do it as cleanly as I can. I've dropped most of the decals for now. (Don't mind the black texture)


I've finally decided to post here, since I was not sure if I should even
bother, and while looking at some of the other designs I can't help but
feel inadequate. At least I'll try.
Right now I'm considering the
color scheme. Black and blue is really slick, but totally not 80s, so
I'm leaning toward gray/blue for the sake of the contest. There's also
the question of how much is too much for Mil-Spec, I'd like to have at
least a few decals on there.
Next up: redoing the logo.
Any feedback is appreciated.

I played around with the colors and the gray/blue combination has the added benefit of being more subtle, black/blue is imo too flashy for a Mil-Spec skin. For the gray I kept thinking of the NES light gun, so I tried to make a similar texture.
The grip has to be redone and there are still a few ugly spots
