PC-CSGO | Desert Eagle - Noir Special + Cyberpunk Special

JonathanMacgregor

So I've been posting in my general skins thread in the csgo forum but I think I might need to post my wips in this forum instead? So I will repost what I've done so far over here, critiques welcome! This is the thread where I was posting my progress before: http://polycount.com/discussion/169915/finals-csgo-workshop

Here is my concept art/reference sheet:


The main inspiration was Blade Runner, although it was more the feel of the film than deckard's gun that inspired me. I did take the idea of having an orange grip on the gun although I changed it later.

I started doing the detail work with ndo:



Then I added some materials, I ended up moving away from the blue colour of the gun and going with a black, and I made the grip a slightly orange leather instead of the orange plastic I had in my concept:


Here's where I'm at right now, I'm not finished as there's lots of little things to fix and some parts of the gun are too bright imo:

Did some testing in game and noticed some small changes I should make

I like it, the wood on the grip feels refreshing.

Thanks mate, it's supposed to be leather though haha

Wooden grips tend to have such texture as far as I am concerned. I can't recall if I ever seen leather grip with this texture.

This is really good looking, love everything, especially the grip. Fits the theme perfectly.

Thanks DCNEIL! I decided to call it finished or I will keep tweaking little things forever, I tried to cancel out Valve's AO texture that they overlay on the grip but I couldn't manage it, that's why the grip might look a bit like wood.

Now I'm going to use this design as a base for another skin, IDK if it will be a simple recolour or if it will end up totally different but I will continue posting it in this thread.

Here's my progress on the alternate version so far, going for a copper look

Looks awesome, mate!

Thanks! Here's the finished version on the workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=690358426 I'm a bit unsure if the gradient I added to the end of the barrel works but I was tired of fiddling with it haha

nice skin

i like the first aproach much better, it fits the theme perfectly. The only thing i would work more on is the lether on the grip. Maybe try adding leather stitching and some wear.
