Have you ever thought about how would certain skin combinations look? Asiimov and Howl? Or The Empress and Printstream? Most likely, yes. However, either artist with a lot of free time can realise such fantasy tricks… or an AI!
CS.MONEY Blog decided to combine several well-known skins using MidJourney and see what happens. Spoiler alert: some were downright amazing, but MidJourney was only sometimes able to implement the ideas. So, for example, P90, Mac 10, 5-7 and some other guns remained unreleased as they were either completely unrecognisable or turned out to be too similar to other weapons (most pistols did not differ from each other, for example).
So, let’s dive into the world of AI CS:GO skins! By the way, we also came up with names.
AWP: Mortis + Atheris
If you ask the AI to combine dark-style skeletons and a bright green snake, you get … something from India! MidJourney did not cope with its primary task but produced a fantastically beautiful skin: shiny, catchy, and unusual. Moreover, CS:GO has never seen anything like it. Such a sniper rifle would definitely become popular. Let’s call it AWP | Vidai, which means goodbye in Hindi.
M4A4: Howl + Bullet Queen
We hoped that AI would draw an infernal woman in flames, but in the end, it turned out to be something imperial. Pink and blue explode amid a strict black base with gold ornaments, M4A4 | Royal Rebel. A dynamic and bright skin for M4A4 that has recently returned to the meta. Too bad there’s nothing left of Howl.
USP-S: Dragon Lore + Rainbow Colour
What if we transfer the legendary skin to a familiar standard Defence pistol and add a bit of brightness? We get an ornate skin with a white base and catchy dyes, a fabulous multi-coloured USP-S | Rainbow Dragon.
Glock 18 Water Elemental Variation
Having completed the main task of applying the water texture, MidJourney again implemented something unusual. It looks great, and immediately attracts attention with colour and pattern. Such a Glock 18 | Pacifica can take place among, for example, Restricted skins.
AWP Leaded Glass Variation
Maybe someday Valve will release a real AWP Leaded Glass by de_puiseau. In the meantime, we asked AI to make one, and, for some reason, we’ve got a little mysterious masonic AWP. And again, MidJourney did an excellent job in terms of the unusual image production for this AWP | Stained Glass.
Promo code for XMAS DROP: XMAS-RZZVXHE3.
АК 47: Asiimov + Neon Rider
To be honest, this skin was expected to have a white base with iridescent stripes, but it turned out the other way around: a black base that seemed to have been slashed several times with a brush. It looks both stylish and humble but resembles modern art. Such an AK-47 | Brushstroke might become pretty popular.
Desert Eagle: Emerald Jörmungandr Variation
Keeping the main colour, MidJourney diluted the Jörmungandr variation with gold and black. This looks like the next step in the evolution of the emerald serpent that bites its own tail. Like a formidable weapon from the Victorian era, this Desert Eagle | King Serpent demands attention.
Sports Gloves Asiimov
Simply clever. Wouldn’t it be nice to expand the well-known line of skins with an option for gloves? We got a modern, and even a little cyberpunk, creation. Bold and bright, but at the same time armoured, these Asiimov Sports Gloves are going to cost a lot.
Rainbow Pattern Knife
Such a new pattern can overcome the Case Hardened or Blue Gem meta. And AI-made CS:GO knife itself turned out to be quite fascinating: the game hasn’t seen anything like it. It’s modern, and looks like made of carbon.
