“Pantheon” is a weapon skin concept I created for an art test. Featuring decorative elements such as gemstones, ivory, floral engravings, and narrative reliefs depicting Greek and Roman gods, the goal was to transform the tactical M14 into a luxurious design with an Aegean aesthetic.
The front relief depicts Zeus, king of the gods, raising his thunderbolt in a fierce battle against his father Cronus. Cronus holds an hourglass symbolizing time and a sickle representing power. Their struggle signifies the end of the old divine era and the birth of a new order.
The back relief illustrates the giant Prometheus stealing sacred fire from the heavens and gifting it to humankind. This moment symbolizes the awakening of human wisdom and the dawn of civilization.
