It’s been a while so I thought I’d make some exquisite dragon designs, this time for the famas -- which has a large area designated to patina - I’ve redrawn the dragon overlapping itself to really fill up the mid-rear space. There is a very subtle normal map with metal brushing applied and minor recesses for the linework. I’ve also focused on how the weapons transition through wear states. The first two options Indigo and Jade both transition to a blue - partly because those two terms include blue shades in the extremes. The Copper one starts with rich burnt tones - the background gets darker whilst the linework loses its redness; because copper oxidises I’ve made the Battle Scarred dirt green.



This is my favourite as it reminds me of Heat treated titanium, MW-WW is a less ostentatious bluish-violet. some edge areas I increased the Alpha to make the highlights pop. To prevent it looking uniform there is a minor gradient from front to rear ending with a blueish tint which is vaguely apparent when the light hits.



I’ve made similar dragon iterations titled Emerald in the past - but as this version shifts to blue and technically the FN shade does appear in Jade artifacts it seemed logical to name it that way.



This is the least extravagant iteration, but there's something about this that suits the Famas being a force buy weapon.

Let me know what you think below!
