Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. I actually considered that at first, but I decided to opt for more subtle detailing as opposed to a repeating pattern.

I really wanted the outlines to be the focus of the finish, so instead of adding patterns/'veins', I went for the gradient originating from the outlines instead. I feel that it fits the theme of the weapon more appropriately, as it's supposed to be a weapon that just became superheated.

My eglish is rlly bad but I'll try :D : at the mag, you could make this glow effect at this stripes down to the bottom of the mag. I hope you get what I mean :) I love it btw

love it
