PC-CSGO AWP BARRAGE WIP {Finished}

Damianforever · May 2016

*Settled on the name "Barrage" as it sounds cool, and the definition fits the skin.
Barrage: to stop the advancing or retreating of enemies with heavy artillery.
With the contest asking for a Restricted AWP, I felt like my previous work the AWP | Terminator being 1. Disqualified for being based on my past work and 2. it felt too colorful for Restricted quality. Also I love designing AWP skins

.

My inspiration for this skin is similar to my Terminator, based on sci-fi future weaponry, high-tech with simple colors.
Here are some inspirations that I'm trying to go for, simple design.

I already have a basic concept, and already started designing, but to be nice to you guys I don't want to show it yet as it's pretty dirty/clunky lol

Some progress (I hope)
Notice*: The rear of the weapon is a place holder, I'm only 25% done with the skin, nothing is permanent here. Feedback is appreciated

Back at it again today! Working with the back side mainly today, don't know if it will be too colorful or if I like it just yet dunno. Added some stuff in the front and fixed some proportion errors and some line fixes aswell.
Feel free to look at my progress on this sketchfab model

Made some updates to some textures, painted the scope + barrel. Updated some stuff to the front + back again. My current problem though is it too detailed for Restricted? Dunno.
Also check out the sketchfab model, if you want a closer look.

Last update for today, updated some things again, small tweaks to the front, added textures to the scope and barrel (carbon + red highlights mainly) and painted the stand.
Here's a gameplay view. (Note: I won't paint the backside of the gun until I feel the front is finished)

Testing out the backside because I'm not sure of it yet. Tell me what you think.
More Flashy Red or Less Flashy Red?

Damianforever · May 2016

Fixed some stuff and got rid of some red.

To make it more of a "Restricted" quality, I edited the Alpha and txt file to make it nearly impossible to get a FN (Almost no scratches)
FN: Almost No scratches.
MW: Barrel losing paint, some scratches on base.
FT: Barrel paint almost gone, lots of scratches on base.
WW/BS: Barrel is gone, base paint is ripped away and looks really beat down.

Here are some pics.
.59Wear (Max)

.30Wear (Averagedrop)

0.059Wear MIN (Barely FN, Will be rarer than the other's which will probably cause the prices to be significantly higher than FT/MW/BS)

I think it would look cool with all the red parts very metallic, but otherwise it looks great.

Decided that I'm pretty much done with the overall look, just doing some tweaks. Also did the backside so it connects with the other. Also tweaked the Alpha, making the barrel a little more protected against the wear. Not much tho.

Ingame Pics using a FT Model .30Float.

So a average drop will be very scratchy and a rare drop (fn) will look sweet and brand new.
Next up is to hire someone (me) to do some sweet pics for it

Here's my preview picture, not done on it yet, but just the concept. Also I edited the handle a bit, and the connector (where the front connects with the back)

I feel like overall the carbon fiber effect doesn't work well, especially when applied to everything- I'd advise keeping it only to a few components. Besides that, nice work!
