im currently working on this piece still WIP.. i am UV/texturing it atm... will update soon with textures ... feel free to critique .. thanks in advance ..
Looks pretty cool, though it would be nice to see a larger render.
Only thing I can think at the moment is that the pipe in the upper part of the hydraulics that is holding up the gun look a little thin and too weak to support the size of the gun.
Looks good so far.. i think you can push the idea a bit further and flesh it out a little bit.. right now it looks like a simple gun pokin out of the ceiling.. maybe add a camera?
Is it a laser gun, or a gun type turret? maybe add a cool looking clip and action mechanism too
have you think about how it look from the bottom? you know i see itll be mounted on the celling so the bottom angle will be the one most important (if you plan mounting it other way its cool, i just want to point it out, in our company someone done the same mistake, it ended on redesigning the whole mesh right after we seen it ingame finished )
@Zotter : yes it appears that the gun is heavier for that part of the hydraulics to hold it up.. but if you think about it this is a laser turret and the gun part is made out of plastic .. however i made the gun oversize for design reasons . it gives this object a stylized feel that i am happy with.. but if you were my art director... id change it no questions asked!!!..
@AtlusZMH : yes it is a laser turret... and your right it does look plain atm ill revize and add more elements to my design..
@Hatred : good point .. characters walk below this object ... as an artist i want the player to take notice of the beautifull environment he is in and that includes the props that go with it... ill design a bottom part..
I'd put the camera off to the side. It looks like the barrel of the turret would obsctruct the view currently. I also think a touch of asymmetry does any art asset good, especially stuff with wires and stuff.

critiques are more than welcome...
my only beef is the barrel (and it's pretty minor) but the tip looks rather phallic, and it's also ribbed for her pleasure.
I would elongate the flash hider, cut some holes in it, lose the ribbing in the middle, and taper the whole barrel down toward the tip slightly.
Take a look around at some Anti Aircraft guns, they always look rather turrety to me (just scaled up). Look at the barrels & flash hiders on them.
The Mk. 19 is also a good ref.
