Guns really are not my specialty, however, this one was hard to pass up. This project came about as a job, as previously stated guns really are not my area but they are Hard Surface items and therefor I should be able to make it. Once the model had been made I started working on 2 textures, the first being a basic and the second being a more unique. The basic one was a typical wooden grip with a diamond pattern, as for the unique one I had a lot of trouble thinking of a way to alter the weapons skin to be different. Eventually I recalled that one of the lead characters in Supernatural uses one. This character Is Dean Winchester, his version of the gun has a polished steel look with an Ivory grip. There is also some sort of button mounted in the middle of the Ivory with a horse on, and engraving along the Slide. This seemed to be perfect and different enough to contrast with the basic design so it was used. I feel at this point it would be wrong to say that the second variant is Dean Winchester's Colt, therefore, It would be more accurate to say that it is "Inspired" by Dean's gun.
Because the second was something that was used in a TV show, I felt that my own take on a texture was needed, and to that end a third skin for the Colt was made. I wanted to keep the Engraving, but make it more my own, to do this I made it Red, other things were a Polished Slide and Blacked Frame. This was all well and good but it didn't feel different enough, to help add some more differences I used a Padded texture for the Grips and colured them the same red. This made the Colt very different and something that I would like to use in an FPS game.
