Been a while, just finished my new entry in the Hydra series for @CounterStrike, continuing on from the release of the original Hydra skin in CS20. I've rebuilt the materials from the ground up for a much more sleeker and robust looking design.

@josenarciso I've learned to accept perpetual mess, organising takes me out of my flow, I just finished a big project and am going to spend the next week getting everything tidy again so I can start fresh

Trying to become a more organized person… starting with my studio. Paintings everywhere, brushes everywhere, ideas everywhere. Any studio organization tips? I need help lol.

Made this for @CounterStrike and their Spy/Tech theme. 💊 Just like candy!

@Cyber_GX1 Oh you like the low saturated?

@frostbug 2, 5 and 8 are my favorites but they are all gorgeous

All 8 variants of my newest Desert Vines skin! Which is your favourite? Personally I think 1 and 3 fit the Arabesque theme the most but I added other options for different rarities. One of the pink ones even has a glitter effect for some sassy mid peaks! 💅

@bittah_wanderer It is strong yeah, funny most people I asked preferred the mono colour leaves as opposed to the multi. I got a lot of feedback which is why I made so many.

@frostbug Number one just looks like original one, and all the other one are derivatives, although i like 5 and 8 a lot, but i’m afraid 8 might look a bit too messy in-game, so 1 and 5 are my picks. and good luck man, competition is strong

@SecularLad @playrust I made a royal sap for Rust and it got skipped over 🤧

@frostbug Can we have this in @playrust, please

Finished up slightly early with my Arabesque skins so decided to throw this pretty pink Glitter Princess version together!💖 Careful the recoil doesn't break a nail! 💅

@conne_psd Thank you connie <3

@frostbug very ncie job frosty

@Mumsfilibabba_ Interesting! That's the one I put out for low spec, you like the muted colours?

@frostbug number 2 for sure

On last set of @CounterStrike stickers for the Call to Arms! for this one I wanted to experiment with mapping a reflection to a surface. I've gotta say though, getting the effect to work was a lot easier than modelling this helmet... 😩

First skin I ever unboxed back in 2013, anyone know if the sticker adds value?

@rarerr3 Hmm maybe...

@frostbug what if?

Do you prefer option A or option B here? Torn up between having a red with a really strong presence vs. a more varied floral colour palette 💐

@Mumsfilibabba_ Seems to be the consensus, so much that I can't even argue 😄

@frostbug A by far

Finally happy with how my copper is looking - definitely going to save the layers for this one and reuse

@astral142 For these I have experience drawing the shapes for other skins, now its just a matter of drawing them then setting it as a mask in Substance painter where I throw in some materials and height parameters.

@frostbug Looks really beautiful. Can ik how do u make these petal designs? I'm working on a model which has same kind of designs so wanted to know how to do it

If I never draw another plant in my life it'll be too soon 😩

@Cyber_GX1 Thanks boss, I actually almost lost my mind picking the colours for this one haha, I did so many deep dives and went back to basic colour theory

@frostbug The precision when details get that small is challenging , but it looks really good and the colors are perfect together
