I wanted my metal to have a dark, almost burnt look to it. I’ve always liked the idea of something that was once pristine and orderly, now dulled by age and wear. I darkened the colors and increased the contrast to make the blackened sections pop out more.

I wanted a rotted wood look for mine, so I added a very faint green tint to my texture. Not enough that it’s directly noticeable, but it does make the wood look a bit more worn out.
