MERC CS:S Weapon Skins

This is a handful of admittedly simple weapon skins for the Galil and the Dual Berettas, made for various Counter Strike titles.

I made these way back in 2018, and remade the Counter Strike Source Galil one in 2020. Hell, the original Gamebanana Pages are still up for these, and some other skin mods, if you want to check those out. I can’t speak to the quality of my work from way back when, but it’s something I’m still proud of! It’s also one of my projects that set me up for learning even more software and design techniques that would aid me in projects later down the line, like the first General Favorites cover art or my DDLC Cover Arts project.

Anyways, all the download links are sorted for the separate games in the downloads section, as are the installation instructions for each skin!
