Designing a CS:GO skin is a cool project! You start by downloading the weapon finish kit from the CS:GO official site. Then, get creative with your design using Photoshop or a similar tool. Remember, your design needs to be in a .tga format. When you're happy with it, you can test how it looks in-game through the 'Workbench' feature. Lastly, submit it to the CS:GO Workshop and keep your fingers crossed the community loves it!

I designed my own CS:GO skin last year! The key is patience and creativity. Use the weapon templates from the game's official resources and experiment with different ideas. It's important to check your design in the Workbench to see how it actually looks on the weapon. Sometimes what looks good in Photoshop doesn't translate well in-game. And don't get discouraged if your first few designs don't take off. Keep trying!

Hot take: Just slap some flames or skulls on it. Can't go wrong. Bonus points for neon colors.
