when alex approached me last year to work on this project, it took me a long time to wrap my head around it.
no way. a SKIN? in my FAVORITE GAME? FOR MY FAVORITE GUN???
instantly i had dozens of ideas for what i wanted to do with this opportunity...

my direction was settled pretty quickly when i found out i'd be getting some design input from the lovely @LuluLuvely 📝💕
two legend skins, baby blue, gold and white were my references - so i threw together a mood board and added some more of my own elements:

i've always loved vaporwave/retro/pastel aesthetics and i wanted to combine a regal marble with a soft warm-to-cool gradient to really make the whole skin stand out.

basically.. the vibes needed to be immaculate. 😳✨

and based on the reception of the skin... it seems like you all REALLY vibe with it ! !🥳✨⚡️

APEX really has done so much for me, i've met so many amazing people, gotten some incredible opportunities in my 3 years playing this game and (1/2)
