Looks pretty cool.
One suggestion: I would lower the opacity of the stripes in the background. Catches to much attention from the rifle in my opinion.
I'm looking forward to see your next guns!

So over the past few weeks I'd been diddling around with the weapons the Humans in my scifi universe would be using. I just finished this rifle tonight. I'm doing the Human military/culture as a mix of contemporary and 30s-50s style.
Next up is an SMG.

Anyways, I'll be using this thread as a depository for all the art I've done that isn't map related. There will probably be a heavy image dump sometime in the future LOL.
Cheers.

Here are some varients of the a machine gun. Which ones do you guys think I should use? I'm liking all of them for diferent reasons.
After I decide on an outline I'm gonna start painting it up.
I like #3. That thumb-hole doesn't look like it would be comfortable. And if someone knocked the weapon out of your hand, you'd risk breaking your thumb.
Plus, I just like the modular look of #3.

If you choose # 1 or 2 you look like you are going with that thumb hole theme for all your weapons. Maybe if they come from the same manufacturer it could serve as a trade mark 'thumb hole'. Number 3 looks compact yet lethal. #2 looks the most intimidating and #1 just looks too dang big to me, unless that forward hand hold also serves to connect to a tripod in which case that rocks the socks.

I'm really feeling #2 and 3 also. I'm not sure about the thumb hole either because the rifle above doesn't have one and I want the manufacturing philosophy to be consistent. I do like it's aggressive nature though. hmm...
There's a bit of SA80 about these shapes - the stock I guess. If it's an assault rifle then #3 for me.

I think I'm going to go ahead with number three but make some slight tweaks on it. Will post up some progression later.
Here's what I've got so far...
