The Misfit pattern takes advantage of a unique way the UV is wrapped around the Mac-10, specifically using patina as the finish. Patina finishes mask most of the UV allowing me to map out long strips that get displayed on the gun (as seen in the process panel above). With these long strips, I was inspired to make either a train car tagged in graffiti or a wall as if its an old New York alley. I decided against the train due to the windows/main door being cut off too often as opposed to a simple wall. For the wall, I chose to use grey and classic clay orange bricks to bring some contrast to the design. Almost like part of the wall is old and part of it recently updated. I did experiment with the clay and grey bricks swapped but felt like the clay colour gave it a unique feel. As well as allowing me to construct a more cohesive palette for all the graffiti.

I wanted all the tags, throw-ups, stencils, and the blockbuster on this skin a encapsulate the raw essence of graffiti. This meant sticking with the rules of graffiti, like how throw-ups (generally consisting of a one-colour outline and one layer of fill-colour. Easy-to-paint bubble shapes often form the letters.) commonly cover tags (The simplest and most prevalent type of graffiti, tags are often done in one colour.). This is displayed on the skin where SPRAY & PRAY is written as a tag with a throw-up covering SPRAY. I also wanted to reflect the Mac-10s reputation as a gun, how it's used & the team buying it. With tags referencing everything from RUSH, ECO to the bomb code and some chickens pecking at grenades.

For the pattern options, there are two stand-out best (shown in the ingame pics) and a couple that could be desired. Mostly pertaining to if there's a rare graffiti on the back of the gun which can be displayed in 4 different options. Also how much of the main Bullet Spray blockbuster (A large graffiti piece with complex, legible letters or icons) piece is shown. There is also a completely different set of tags and throw-ups on the secondary side of the Mac-10, only seen when the player flips the gun on inspect. I felt like since the UV doesn't get flipped on the grey section why not add little easter eggs players would recognize with most of them referencing something about the game.
