Energy handgunby *peterku

Digital Art / 3-Dimensional Art / Objects / Weapons

Energy handgun concept.

Usually I do heavy rough piece of metal gun. This case has been run for something cleaner and lighter. Like it?

Concept, modeling, texturing, rendering is mine. Model is fully highpoly.

Program: 3ds max with vray.

P.S.
I'm available for freelancer jobs. If you want to make offer then I'm open for debate.

Tnx for comment if any.

Critique by ~Unl3ashthebeast Apr 30, 2013, 9:50:51 PM

I would like to start off by saying a piece of artwork can only be Truly Perfect when the artist says it is. It is not our job to criticize but to gaze in awe. Now, I have experience in shooting real handguns and even though you have created an Energy gun there are similarity's between the two. The angle on your grip is very generous and will feel like an extension of the arm. Although the angle is generous the grip is not ergonomic(more as in the front and rear of the grip). I don't know if you would like it to be more ergonomic in the future, but that's up to you. You also do not have a Beaver Tail on the grip, but it is not there, perhaps, because the slide does not move back and forth like a handgun? Also, how is the recoil? And sights, I do not see any sights. But there is a rail for installing optics, very clean. This piece of artwork reminds me of the movie 'Equilibrium'. Even though there is a lot going on in the handgun with decals and notches it is a very, very clean gun to look at. It's hard to see how large this gun is in real life because the rail on top looks so small, not like a picatinny rail. The green lights are a brilliant thought and a great placement. Very smooth and elegant. If Elves created a handgun, this is what it would look like.

What do you think?

Critique is a bit late but I don't really give a damn.

Designs: Nothing too out of the ordinary but functional. Personally think that proportions could have been better, the pistol grip should be larger to be more comfortable to hold, the "prongs" in the pistol's muzzle should be bigger and more noticeable, and sharp edges be sharper to portray more power.

Modelling: Wonderful modeling although the texture could be better, it seems like you titled a base metal texture so there is this very uniform pattern. Avoid that, use grunges/burn and dodge instead. Erase certain parts of the base metal overlay also works wonders (use a 15-30% opacity eraser brush).
