M4A4 | Neo-Noir Holo Smoke sticker craft

A step-by-step visual guide to crafting the M4A4 | Neo-Noir Holo Smoke sticker craft in CS2

M4A4 | Neo-Noir Holo Smoke (sticker craft)

My first original creation utilizing the CS2 custom sticker placement update that I feel is worth sharing (it was also my submission to an ohnepixel sticker craft combo competition and I lost, but oh well :)

The holo effect of the sticker used (5x Get Smoked holo) happens to color match with the skin design incredibly well. I decided to create a smoke cloud effect on top of the white smoke cloud the woman on the skin is exhaling using a meticulous layering of five of the Get Smoked (holo) sticker. The result is a large holographic smoke cloud effect that color shifts between rich purples, magenta, and various shades of blues depending on the map lighting and the gun's overall orientation and movement

Below is a step-by-step visual guide to crafting the M4A4 | Neo-Noir Holo Smoke sticker craft in CS2, or at least my exact version of it. Feel free to experiment with the placement of any of the stickers if it makes it look more to your liking. You can even craft 4x versions with less sticker overlap if you dont mind having more little CT guys showing on the design


Each image shows how I applied stickers 1 through 5 in the order needed to have them correctly overlap. helpful tip: use the orientation of the little CT guy and little holographic stars on the sticker to help guide your placement if you're having trouble figuring out exact placement/rotation
