How do I submit for a theme?

How do I submit for a theme?

Hey all, I have submitted workshop items for both the Arabesque theme and the spy/tech theme. However, I am not sure if I have uploaded these submissions to the correct folder. Would someone be so kind as to check if it has been done correctly? Links to the collections are included within the links within this post. Kind regards.

AWP | Undertow

A faithful open-sea finish for the AWP. Deep cold blue, choppy swell, off-white foam, the waves running the full length of the rifle. The skin is built from an original colored-pencil seascape drawn by me. wave forms, palette and foam carry straight onto the gun. Matte painted pigment, no gloss, no glow.

Ever wanted to see your concept in-game?

CS2 Workshop creator. Got a skin concept you want made properly in-game? I handle the full technical build: real UV layout, hand-built textures, PBR validation, wear states, and the finished asset. Flat fee, agreed before I start, and you only pay after I deliver. Your concept stays yours. Happy to show the process before you commit. See my portfolio here

Desert Eagle | Phoenix (Counter-strike 2 Workshop)

YES THIS IS REAL-->For those wondering how this skin precision is possible, I came across a new passion/talent: I can reformulate visual-technical problems through successive layers of abstraction, escalating from verbal description to chromatic encoding to spatial annotation as each prior framing exhausts its precision. I privilege empirical falsification over theoretical conviction, including my own hypotheses, and iterate with disciplined detachment until a system surrenders its underlying logic.

Mockup of an AWP concept I have been working on. Japanese ink-painting direction: Hannya mask on the body with black ink hair flowing back across the stock, cherry blossom branches winding across the body and onto the scope, vermillion kanji along the upper receiver, aged parchment base.

A few specific things I would like feedback on:

  1. Does the Hannya read at first glance from the first-person view, or does the hair drown the face?

  2. Salience: does this feel Classified, Covert, or somewhere in between to you?

  3. Cherry blossom + Hannya is well-trodden territory. Is there enough of a hook here, or does it sit too close to existing skins?

  4. Anything that visibly breaks or reads as off-brand for an AWP?

Not looking for upvotes, looking for the part you would change. Brutal is fine.

Three things I'd love your read on:

  1. Would you craft this as a 1x accent or as a 4x set?
  2. Which finish would you go for first: paper, holo, or foil?
  3. Strongest skin pairing in your head?

Especially keen to hear from people who already run cute-archetype crafts (Lorena, Kawaii, Loving Eyes line). Cheers.
