BossKey Art Test Gun

NeMajaYo

Hello!

I created this gun for the BossKey art test.  It was recently released from NDA so I thought I'd post and share.  Models were made with 3DS Max, textured in Substance Painters.

Crits welcome!

looks cool! the worn edges look strangely black/dark? I would have expected the worn off paint to reveal slightly reflective metal rather than black/brown stuff. I really like the see through round cover on the side, really cool touch. I dont understand whats going on with that black dotty texture on some parts, is it a rubber coating? it seems rather arbitrarily placed rather than following the shape of the weapon - I assume this was just part of the concept.

Ya, it was all in the concept.  It's some kind of faux-carbon fiber, at least thats how I was interpreting it.  A friend had a buttstock on a shotgun covered with that stuff and I used it as an inspiration.  As for the shiny, its something I think about, but I decided it's probably exposed to the air and beginning to rust.  The shapes made me think of a power-tool and less of a weapon, so probably thrown in a tool box and neglected, collecting rust and dirt etc.  But Yeh, maybe it should have been shinier lol.

Oh cool. SO how long did they give you to complete the test?
