(WIP) Sci-Fi pistol

tierrun

Hi, everyone! I'm trying to model weapon from this concept:

Now working with hi-poly part:

But now i'm really confused with one issue. I'm trying to model side ball shape next way - i splitted edge loops and extruded them inside of the ball:

Now i need to create plane on pistol drum side and really don't know how to do it wright.

You can see problem on printscreens i prowided below.


Decision that I made is not satisfied me at all.
Will be happy to hear any advice how to fight this issue.

Also i'm interested in avoiding this pinch, that was created after using quad chamfer script.

Hey there, that pinch is likely from having that n-gon right at the edge. if you're only using chamfers and not subdivision surfaces, I'd recommend just using triangles and having one extra supporting edge loop for better shading: 

And if you are using subsurf, try making the faces all-quad (the quad part of quad chamfer only applies to the chamfer itself - not the surrounding geometry).

@JonLampel
Thank you for advice, i used triangle, as on first image you send, and result satisfied me. I'm very grateful to you for response.

I'm continuing my blockout/ hi-poly part of modelling this pistol.I still have a tons work to do, but, as for me, this gun have potential to became pretty nice.
