Hey guys,

Been a lurker (very very occasional poster) and I felt that now would be a good time to post and show something I'm working on (have been for a while now...) and get some feedback cause I'm at a spot where I do need some feedback...

My main problem right now is about the look of the engine for the chainsaw. Originally I wanted to go a bit more "futuristic" because I don't think a now a days chainsaw engine would work so well for swinging around even if it was a two handed sword...but the engine I had before just didn't look that good. Trying to figure out how to make it look a bit more...chainsawy...

I've been looking to make the engine look a bit more like this

But I can't find the other side to see what I should be putting there haha...

    Perhaps take a look around some hardware stores online for powertools. Find things you like and then dig deeper for larger shots of them. Google for large images and manufacturer's sites can get you nice shots.

    Put some references together (ref/mood board) and come up with a design from there.
