Futuristic Rifle

Ideation sketches in pencil and ink, detail drawing in marker and ink, perspective drawing uses marker for shading and colored pencil for line art.

I am looking to model some low-poly, game asset type weapons. I started with some concept sketches for a futuristic gun, followed by a detailed marker rendering of the design that I decided to develop. I was drawn to this design over the others because I liked the way the handle and the upper and lower sections of the rifle create a nice negative space.

Perspective drawing defines the three dimansional shape of the rifle. Next step is a color rendering in Sketchbook Pro.

Admiral Shrike Color Renderings

Concept drawings painted digitally in Photoshop using Wacom Cintiq.

These final concept images show color, shape and texture. Together with the line drawings done previously, there is a good source of material from which to begin modeling the character.

I changed the look of the character somewhat for these final drawings. I edited the size of some of his features to give him less of a cartoon character porportion and more of a realistic look. I also wanted to give some of his machine parts a somewhat worn look.

Stay tuned for a full 3D model sometime soon.
