PC-CSGO | Pixel Invasion

Xilick · May 2016

My second skin for the CSGO contest. This time on mil-spec deagle. My main focus was on originality this time (making something unique) and yet sticking to the theme. WIP screenshots below.

Skin's resemblance depends on point of view. My intention was to show the two worlds: Gaming world and real world's blending - as we gamers live both of these worlds. But other possible point of view is a night invasion inspired from the retro arcade (scifi) games. It's really up to you to decide what you see on the skin.

The background of the skin is situated in well known enviroment from popular family scifi movie from early 80s.

I am gratefuly accepting every critique and feedback! Thanks in advance!

added net to the retro pixel part and a dark, night forest to the background. the concept is now visible and the skin has now the main idea finished - need much more work on the details and textures still.

drew a moon and stars - the reference to the popular family sci fi movie from the early 80s should be more then obvious now haha

changed up the lights, the skin is now slightly less colorful and deosnt reflect light that much.

It is awesome, although I fear it might be too awesome for a mil-spec skin

Xilick · May 2016

@Knubble thanks:) and i gotta admit thats my biggest concern too, thats why i made the colors less colorful:D but i think it could work as blue, i mean its basically a blue skin with moon and a pink line over it and then there is the handle with colorful gradient - but quess it depends on point of view:)
