After discovering Valve’s annual CS:GO weapon skin contest, an interest in 2D texturing of 3D objects was sparked. Four series were created for the 2021 Steam Workshop Contest.
The series
ASTRO – AK-47, Dual Berettas, FAMAS Futuristic cyber aesthetic, inspired by the YouTube channel Kurzgesagt. Star-shaped accents on the magazine and grip.
HypnAGOGIA – USP-S Explores the transitional state between waking and sleeping. Designed for beginner Counter-Terrorist rounds.
FEATHER – MAC-10 Minimalist design with a feather motif.
THORNS DREAMS – MP9 & AK-47 Digital painting with winding, thorn-covered vines. A mystical night aesthetic between calm and subtle horror.
Outcome
No win — but valuable experience collaborating with the Steam Workshop community, and a significantly grown confidence in 2D texture work.
