Taming the Shrew - Scifi Hand Cannon Design
I began by gathering reference to design a humanoid alien faction’s powerful handgun. I sketched variations, trying to capture a broad spectrum of the possibilities; some closer to human revolvers, others more alien. I then received feedback and developed six of those with changes in phase 2, ready for another round of feedback. The gun which best fit the unique look envisioned was selected and I moved to 3D to capture the forms of the gun. For the final steps I went back to 2D to make graphics and clean up the gun for clearer viewing. Lastly, I added texture and rendering to the final beauty shot.
The gun fires through the bottom of the cylinder. It uses super-thin planes as bullets, which due to the low friction, have high piercing capabilities.
