This weapon evokes an ornamental plant "Bird of Paradise". This plant has its origins in Southern Africa. Its name comes from its shape because it looks like a bird's head with wings. The plant is characterized by large colored leaves.

This idea came to me when I saw a Magic: The Gathering card called Bird of Paradise'. Do you know thesecards? Well, I have a lot! Passionate about the drawings that are on cards, I made a collection of these cards a long time ago. By dusting an old ring binder, I came across this famous card! Intrigued by this bird, I then conducted research on this card and I came across this plant with the same name (but nothing to do with the drawing of the card).

I was particularly interested in this plant because of its beautiful colors. I wanted to transpose these amazing colors on a weapon. At first, I put a sky blue background behind the "plant" to accentuate even more the paradise effect, but that did not look good in game. So I put a darker background that fits more in the world of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The world is not just rainbows and butterflies lol joke.

I chose the Patina theme because it highlights only the part where the 'ABS' plastic is. In addition, the metal effect gives even more character to the weapon. I also used a pastel effect in the background. I also gave a watercolor effect to the drawing to intensify the feeling of a painted landscape. We can also feel a wind from the left, which gives movement to the drawing.
