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.
