The Dream & Nightmares CSGO skin contest received hundreds of submissions, but these six stand above the rest.
The Dreams & Nightmares skin design contest is giving 10 artists $10,000 for an upcoming Halloween-themed case. Artists interpreted the title theme in a number of ways, some humorous and others horrifying. After nearly two months, these submissions are the Dreams & Nightmares skins we want to see in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
The coolest contribution for the covert MP9 skin is the Thunderstorm. Adorn your eco-round special with a flying thunder god complete with a set of Lovecraftian eyes. The funky color palette brings it all together, though the background is a little plain for a red rarity skin. If you think Rain and Moxxi Bronson deserve one of the ten $100,000 prizes, vote for the MP9 | Thunderstorm on the Steam Workshop.
moonfigter and tarka teamed up to create an Edgar Allan Poe-inspired skin for Dreams & Nightmares. The moon and raven look amazing at both Factory New and Battle-Scarred. The skin was submitted in a few different styles, but the black furniture and contrasting purple background make Twilight Moon pop at a distance. Head to the Steam Workshop and vote if you want to wield one for yourself in-game.
Skin artist dreamcloak put a ton of time into the details, creating a gorgeous asymmetrical design for the duallies. While both guns are the same model, each side of the classified skin has a different pattern meant to invoke a dream slowly transforming into a nightmare. The gold accents pair well with any Lore pattern knife skin. Add these to your collection by voting in the Dreams & Nightmares Steam Workshop.
Out of every Dreams & Nightmares submission, the Fear is the scariest. This skin echews subtlety in favor of painting a ghoulish skeleton creature directly onto the upper. The low violence version is just as scary as the main design, transforming the human jaw into a freaky sewn-up set of fangs. Vote for oKeyush’s deranged design to be added to CSGO here.
The term “nightmare” can be interpreted in several ways. For Workshop artist Andi, he kept it close to home. The Stuck in Silver is a hilarious patterned skin made up of low-level ranked medals. The randomized palette has a few hidden secrets too. If you get lucky, it’s possible to get a Global Elite or Legendary Eagle icon visible. Help this clever artist win a cash prize by voting on the Workshop.
This design is a far cry from the previous submissions, but the mysterious iconography provides a palpable feeling of claustrophobia and fear. Black and white images and text cover every inch of supremat’s design. The set of half-human, half-demonic teeth draw the eye to subtle details placed on the back of the slide. Give the Ticket to Hell a ticket into CSGO by voting on the Steam Workshop.
