Fair enough, I understand the skinners conundrum of visual complexity vs colour complexity (from GTA III/VC & IL-2 Sturmovik - 1946 skinning myself).
Indeed the quality & vatiation of colouring and artistic detail is ****ing top-notch.

@Flynn I could and i probably will, i'm currently experimenting with a new concept.

@Razor Thank you, i know exactly what you're talking about, and whilst i agree, i can't go back. You see, this was somewhat of an experiment, the only way i could achieve this much color variation/shading is through the use of stickers, and only stickers. Normally you'd use patterns and pattern gradients, and those are limited in terms of color variation.
Stickers take up a lot of space (megabytes) and sadly, cover the entire gun. If i were to redo it, i would have to spend a lot more time fine-tunning every little piece of detail, and, again, i would have to use stickers. Which wouldn't help cut down the filesize (and filesize is one of the key factors, given that this is a 32-bit game and it has its limitations). In theory it's doable, but the amount of time i would have to spend is beyond the effort.

With that said, i may try it in the future. I already spend a decent amount of time on polish.

Couldja make something as tasty as this for an AK.762 or AK-17? Or perhaps the Spas 12 (Predator 12G)?

Very good artwork, well drawn, painted and shaded etc, ..although, on a gun, it does cover 'working details' of the gun, such as break/take-apart lines, bolt pins, ejector & vent ports, and other weaponry things that you'd see on a painted 'real' weapon IMHO.
I would definately vote for this if more of those details was visible, re-enabled or allowed back on the weapon - then its leathal power would certainly be matched by its killer artwork.

Potentially the sexiest weapon skin on the market. I'd buy it.

wow

Looks like a modern art sculpture but on a gun, looks good

amazing work, epic or rare level !

blue bits looks cool though that black/grey bits looks very weird
