Description of the skin.
I did not want to insult anyone with this description, everything, what I wrote is the truth, I wrote everything from my heart and soul. First I wrote all the descriptions and all the text in Russian. Then I translated this text in various and most famous online translators. I myself do not know English and only understand some words in English, and most words I do not understand, in English, so I live in Russia and did not learn English. In my text there are no bad words, I did not offend anyone in my text, but if you somehow see a bad word in my text, then I apologize in advance, I just translated this text in different online translators, and maybe online translators Translated some of the words is not correct, so know that there are no bad words in my text, and if it does, it's not the correct translation from the online translator.


Hello guests! My name is Kriptonec, I'm male and I'm 23 years old. Welcome to my workshop. Now I'll tell you briefly how I created this skin.
We sit down comfortably, let's go :)


In the first place was painted Scorpio, on the usual paper of the school album. I was drawn using the usual
Pencil, then circled with a black marker, slightly dyed brown, and a red stain was dyed
Scorpio. After that, in Photoshop I painted each line of Scorpio, with different colors of the palette. After that, in this
Same photoshop, all these colors, I made neon, but I will not say exactly how neon turned out, it's classified information: D

In general, initially the skin, I started creating in 3D-coat, I specially bought this program to create skins through it, just as I do not own sculpting.
And now, after buying 3D-coat for my savings, and 3D-coat, I bought in the very incentive for not a little money, and this is for 6499 rubles, then I just downloaded Blender on Steam for free, just in case Blender does not need to buy it Free distribution,
At least in Russia, and I already had Photoshop for a long time, after I started working.
I downloaded the official pack of 3D models of weapons in the very workshop of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - "workbench_materials",
Then I opened the already purchased 3D-coat, through the Steam, then in 3D-coat I chose the scene "Draw accurately on the model with UV" then I opened the folder and chose "OBJs material type"
Next, I chose the M4A4 weapon model, then the window "Importing a pixel-by-pixel drawing object" was opened, after that, I ticked "Import tiles as UV scans", and ticked "Close normal", then chose
"Texture width 2048" and chose "Texture Height 2048", then clicked Ok. Opened a 3D model of weapons M4A4. After that I removed the "Grid", then "I switched between perspective and orthogonal projection" after that I clicked on the tab
"Teams" and ticked "Design through", then, in the same tab "Commands", I chose "Projection scale of external editor 500", after that, in the same tab "Commands", I clicked on "Edit projection in Adobe Photoshop. "
The projection of the 3D model of the M4A4 weapon went to Photoshop, and three more layers are "Lightmap", "Layer 1" and "Layer 0", I marked all three layers and put them in "Group 1", after that I went In this "Group 1", and selected "Lightmap" and holding "ctrl", I clicked on "Lightmap",
After this weapon was allocated "Running ants", after that I marked the folder "Group 1" and created the "Layer Mask" to draw on the weapon itself, and that beyond the weapons my drawing did not come out.
After that, on the "Layer 1" layer, I started drawing and applying my drawing, but I did not touch the layer "Lightmap" and the layer "Layer 0".


After that, the weapon was painted in "Cold Gray" and in some places "Silvery color". Then the Scorpion drawing was applied to the skin,
And slightly stretched, for the total volume of the weapon. Close to you it may seem that the drawing is losing quality, it's not surprising,
So, as the drawing of the scorpion was drawn, on plain paper, then photographed on the phone, and after already drawing I sent by mail (in order to preserve the quality of the drawing) on ??the computer,
Then edited in Photoshop and so on, from a long way it looks just gorgeous, and close, too, looks not bad.
After that, I started to come up with the concept of skin. And I just sat thinking, thinking, but nothing came into my head, but suddenly I thought about one unusual concept,
And immediately there were thoughts and ideas, and I started to create. After that, I began to create masterpieces on the skin, it's a very long time to describe, just say briefly,
First, different patterns were applied, then these patterns were painted in different colors, namely on the skin, black colors, light black colors, multi-colored colors of the neon itself,
And the color of "Cyan".

The name of the skin was originally invented, since I had a scorpion drawing, and all the other patterns and drawings that are on skins, the very concept, I created gradually, coming up with it on the move, it was simply difficult to make the skin neon.

In general, if you take a good look at the skin, you will notice that the skin is created in the likeness of the "Neon Scorpion" itself, just take and take a closer look
First on a scorpion drawing, then on the very concept of skin, and you will understand everything yourself. All the patterns that are on the skin, were created, in the likeness of the drawing "Neon Scorpio",
Note, not the usual scorpion, namely the "Neon". You can say that the skin itself and the weapon itself, this is the "Neon Scorpion" itself.

By the way, I almost forgot, this skin is not so simple, this skin has a lot of easter eggs and interesting stuff. Let me tell you about some Easter eggs and
Chips of this skin. The first feature and Easter eggs of this skin is that when you look directly at this skin, or rather on the left side, then you see a scorpion drawing
and in general the skin, but when you turn the skin slightly below the left corner, if well look closely you will notice that the front piece right the mite of the scorpion, as if slightly disconnected,
And when you look at the skin at the right angle, then the same happens when you turn the skin under the right corner, then you can notice that there is already a front left piece of the tick clears.
Just try it yourself, go to the page of my Neon Scorpion skin in sketchfab - (located in front, before the screenshots, the icon is similar to the video), click on it and twist the skin from different angles and you will understand everything yourself.

The next easter egg is a very simple feature of this skin, is that looking at the skin in the dark, without the game light, you will not notice that there is a "Silvery color" on the skin, more precisely shades of silvery color,
But when you are in the game under the light, then if you take a good look, you can see that some parts of the weapon, painted in "Silvery Color", in a dark place it will be difficult to determine it, as this easter egg is visible only
In a bright place. If you do not believe it, try it yourself, go back to the page of this skin, go to sketchfab- (located in front of the screenshots, the icon is similar to the video), click on it and twist the skin,
Changing the light in different directions, and take a good look, and you will notice that there are some parts of the gun, painted in "Silvery Color".

So I told you about two common and slightly unusual Easter eggs, other Easter eggs and chips of this skin, you try to find yourself, because on this skin, a lot, different chips and easter eggs,
About those that I told you, you can say the simplest and most common, the rest look for yourself, good luck to you :-)
