Hey Polycount, I am Prassy, a recent graduate as an 3D Artist. I love hardsurface modeling. I am fairly new to Polycount. I would love to receive some feedback on my recent work. This was my second pass from an old project. I have improved a bit from the previous version, but I am still not 100% satisfied. I feel something is still lacking, but unable to understand what is it exactly.

Are you familiar with sub-d modeling? It seems that you have not practiced it here and the edges as a result don't have any smoothness to them. If you want to pursue hard surface modeling you'll need to learn sub-d modeling as it's more or less the standard for how weapons are made currently.

By Sub-D modeling, do you mean making a High resolution model and baking the normal data on the game ready mesh ?

Pretty much the basics on Sub D, and yes it is very important for just about anything these days! Keep at it
