Electroblaster PR1 rifle - Need c&c on concept art, and help with edge flow
Yo. Ok, so here's a concept art I made for a mandatory task at school a while back. Its a futuristic sniper rifle that uses guided bullets, and fires the bullets with an electric charge. Just wondering what you guys think:
Right now I've been working on a base mesh for the stock. But I have to admit that getting the edge flow right without pinching or other distortions is a pain in the a$$. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Not sure if you're still looking for crits on the concept, but I automatically thought of a .50 Cal or Halo sniper rifle when I saw it. Both awesome guns, but it might help to differentiate your concept a little. Also, the laser sight on the barrel seems a bit out of place.
I did a quick design study to see if you can get any ideas.
Right now your gun looks very bland for a gun that can do a lot of shit. Try different shapes and see what you can get. Exaggerate some shapes and sizes to see what you can come up with too.
Also, think functionality. Your gun is powered by electricity. Why does it need an ejection port? How do you re load the empty batteries or is it plugged into a battery pack on the snipers back?
Also, the scope was bothering me, it looked very normal for a far from normal gun.
Then your butt stock was reallllly long. Look at refs of other sniper rifles to see the proportions to really gauge where it should be. Definitely look at a lot of reference. Especially since the ejection port was in a really weird place in consideration to the ammo clip.
I added some cheap detail... Little screws, little lined to show that this gun wasn't assembled all in 1 piece, etc. I made the ammo clip look a little longer. I would probably go back and try and design a cooler clip since you have some bad ass shells that will be firing out of it. It gives a player a sense of "why the hell is this so different? what's so special about it?" and makes them think that it isn't your typical kind of gun.
I forgot to add a cool muzzle tip :P
Other than that, you can use the drawing I did for whatever you want.
And, its not an ejection port. Its just a bolt to load bullets in to the chamber from the magazine (witch doesn't use casings) . And the whole stock is a battery witch last long enough, so you dont really need to change it. And to recharge it - just remove the shoulder pad and connect it to a docking station.
Anyhow, back to the drawing board
I'm familiar with the method, but I've never used it for subd modeling. Sounds like a clever trick! thanks
haha pwnd
nah id redo the concept yourself using titus's as a close reference/inspiration, will help you learn the shapes and ideas more and produce something slightly more your-own
exactly!
