PC-CSGO | Extinction

maclare

Hello guys, this is the thread for my Desert Eagle | Extinction, a skin in the 70-80 sci-fi contest. 
My idea is a neon-polygrid-dinosaur (a t-rex) shooting laser beams out of its eyes. Enjoy!

I decided to participate in the contest a while ago, but it took me some time to get something finished. I originally intended my illustration for the AWP, but I decided that the desert eagle would display my work in a more interesting way (by making it a bigger and more important part of the whole model). 
I started by outlining the dinosaur, and applyed the pattern later. I did some adjustments during the prosess, to make sure the dinosaur felt "alive". I decided to display the outline in 2d, but use the pattern to show the shape of the T-rex. 
I applied the illustration to the gun and colored it, using a 3d-template.

I chose phongexponent and phongintensity to "70" and "80", as an easter-egg refering to the theme of this competition ;-)
