allbrotnarshonours:

All of the final files submitted as part of my honours project (Except for the Alpheus shotgun, I kept that in because it was one of my favourite concepts, but, unfortunately, did not export so well).

These are the two weapon and armour sets I made for my honours project. The individual pieces are rendered in ZBrush, and the entire sets are rendered in Maya. At the end of the video there is a UDK scene with the sets, showing that these can easily be part of a game engine.

A weapon set designed for CGHub’s Drawing Jam no. 70: Elemental Weapon Set.

While I picked Fire for the challenge, I fully intend to experiment with the other elements, as this was a great exercise. Because of time limitations, the entire design process (from sketchbook iterations to final product) took approximately 20 hours.

Weapon set design: organic weapons

Since so far I have only spoke of expanding into discussing firearms, as well, I decided to change the situation. The “organic” theme came about as I observed so many melee weapons designed after (or containing) organic elements: spikes and claws, which, for animals serve other functions than on weapons. However, they do make for compelling designs, and so the Crustacea set took form. A few notes on each of the weapons:

Karkinos:

This was the first design and less thought has been put into it than into the others (at first). The mobile claw serves as a storage device for the energy sphere. When it hinges upwards, the energy is released in the form of a beam. Additionally, the entire “claw” may be fired as a grappling hook, using the attached winch. Not only can the Karkinos be used as a climbing device in this way, but it may also be used to tear down light cover (such as metal containers, ungrounded concrete blocks, etc.)

Alpheus:

Based on the pistol shrimp’s claw, the Alpheus has a relatively simple firing mechanism. The lower claw (designated as the hammer) hinges upwards into the body of the gun. Pistol shrimp use this system to create an immensely powerful blast of air, which stuns prey several times larger than themselves. However, this only works under water. The Alpheus solves this issue by adding a secondary firing mechanism: as the hammer rises, a jet of fluid (different fluids may be used to achieve various effects) is pushed into the upper chamber, and then propelled through the primary firing mechanism. A fuel-filled hammer will result in a short-burst flamethrower effect, for example, while a thick gel will be more effective at knocking opponents prone and immobilizing them.

Thermidon:

Based on lobsters, the Thermidon uses a complex array of thermal devices and storage systems. It consists of two firing modes. If the “cilia” on the inside of the claw face backwards, the gun absorbs all heat emissions in a straight line, effectively acting as a freeze ray. The heat is stored in the sphere at the back of the claw. When the storage sphere becomes overheated, the user may reverse the direction of the cilia and release the stored heat with the Thermidon’s secondary firing mode. This firing mode has a shorter range, but a wider arc of fire. Because of the complex devices within the Thermidon, it is used with both hands safely away from the firing systems, with an additional clip over the shoulder (the segmented design of the shoulder clip allows it to be easily adjusted to various body types) for added support.

weeklyartchallenges:

I started off making yet another creature or something, but I was watching the news from back home and decided I wanted to make something more meaningful. Protests broke out in Bucharest and, eventually, violence. I have been to many other cities, but Bucharest remains my home and it hurt me to see it as it was 23 years ago, torn apart by violence. The peaceful protest is in the middle, amidst the fire, while above them looms the senseless rioter. The riot police blocks the peaceful protest on the other side.

While I do not agree with the protest at all, this turn for the worse has made it a significant point in history and in my life. For once, I am glad I was not home to witness this.

I have gotten quite a bit more patient and I started to appreciate the therapeutic effect of digital painting thorughout the year. I have a thing for illustrating songs, and this was for “Mechanical Ape” by The Aquabats. Might redraw this one next year, would have liked to change a few things. Here is the 2011 version:

Here is my art blog. (apologies if this shows up twice, I’ve been having problems with my upload speed, and Tumblr submissions have glitched out on me before).

Used characters by monoclecircus and alemurllama. I was a bit miffed I missed last week’s challenge, so I added an extra level of challenge by imposing a limited pallette myself.

My portfolio blog is here and my personal blog is here.

The submissions so far look awesome!

Oh holy fuck this is so amazing. ;A; I’m just gonna… stare at this all day okay. okay.

I am so happy you like it! This (and the amount of likes it got) made my day :)
