CS:GO | MindScape

I love the style of classic psychedelic art and drawing whimsical, colorful things. When the CS:GO Dreams and Nightmares contest was announced, this was my go-to idea, despite the fact that competition among the two covert-tier weapons (whose finishes allow for the most vibrant colors) would obviously be the highest. I quickly discovered that it wasn't possible to scale and position the illustration properly on both weapons with compositions that I felt were strong enough, so I decided to draw two separate illustrations that I customized to fit each one!
