VALORANT: Intergrade
A passion project skinline I never thought would see the light of day! The original idea came out of one of my earlier blue sky explorations pulling shapes from fancy industrial design form sketches. I'm a big fan of really abstracting the shapes of the guns and whenever I can and also playing with semi transparencies/colored glass. For this one I wanted to create something that would read almost as two separate guns with one encasing the other. The circuitry came from a suggestion from Timur Mutsaev and Denis Lakhanov as they ended up looking a little too plain in first person and static vfx was somewhat inspired by work done for KIN and classic overboard GUI (looking at you Iron Man). Hope you enjoy it!
