Gears of war fanart -gun

Snefer · Aug 2009

Yeah, so I had some time over at work last week, so i made this gun. About 4-5 h of work or something like that, just for fun. :] Only sub-d, can give it some zbrush love I guess, for the leather grip etc, but it was mostly for fun.

Cyph3r · Aug 2009

Looks like teh spiker from halo 3.

Snefer · Aug 2009

hehe, yeah, I realised that when someone showed me a pic of it

But then I was almost done anyway, so ^^

Cyph3r · Aug 2009

Ah, looks real good though.

jacob07777 · Aug 2009

Dude that's a kick ass freakin High Poly. That thing has more detail in one gun than I have in an entire one of my steampunk vehicles I made. Can't wait to see how this bakes. EPIC so far man

I just noticed, 4-5 hours WTF?! I gotta learn to model that fast lol

woogity · Aug 2009

haha, shhh! Actually, they have belts like that on the hammberburst rifle and the gorgon burst pistol

So I can blame them! But seriously though... belts are awesome ^^

Lonewolf · Aug 2009

not bad for 4-5 hours!

looks pretty cool

snake85027 · Aug 2009

looks badass, you should have put the COG symbol on the side instead of that cross.

Thanks. :] Well, its a locust gun, and that is the locust symbol, so that wouldnt have made any sense

snake85027 · Aug 2009

haha, you know what, your right on that, I guess I have not played gears in a while.

Oniram · Aug 2009

nice rendition of it. i agree that it does look like the spiker from halo, but still. its badass. did u use reference? ive seen some pretty nice concept art out there for that gun.

Autocon · Aug 2009

looks fantastic, always love seeing work by you snefer

Carl Brannstrom · Aug 2009

Looks greally nice!

I'd love to see the wireframe.

Snefer · Aug 2009

Oniram: yes, I used that concept pic for reference, together with the concept art for the hammerburst :] then I just mixed it around ^^

Autocon, corv: thanks :]

moose · Aug 2009

gogo texture go!

belts are win, so much fun to toss everywhere! Think the locust symbol is a bit skinny, but otherwise a cool lookin gun!

Zotter · Aug 2009

Wow, 4 to 5 hours of work? This is pretty fuckin' wicked. I like the idea for the stitched leather and the belts they give it a little more personality.

If you don't mind could you post a wireframe? I really would like to see how this was put together.

Snefer · Sep 2009

moose: hehe, okay, I'll bulk it up a little ^^ I'm working on the lowpoly now, but I need to add a little more detail and zbrushing to it aswell.

Zotter: sure thing, I'll post it when the highpoly is 100% complete.

nrek · Sep 2009

Nice looking pistol dude. I love the leather grip and that front roll bar thing. The belts are pretty cool but the one on the blade kills me. Not only is it like buckling itself to itself, it is also pulling across the sharp edge of the blade :poly124:. But I know you just can't help yourself, haha. I anxiously await the texture wips.

vikaskumar · Sep 2009

looks preety nice

Snefer · Sep 2009

nrek: i know ^^ and the blade is not that sharp anymore, its been cutting too many cogs

here is the wires for the highpoly. WIP textured lowpoly tomorrow ^^

Zotter · Sep 2009

Wow dude, awesome job, hopin' I can get my topology that solid some day

psychoticprankster · Sep 2009

Great Job . looks good to me , You should start texturing her !

alexk · Sep 2009

very cool! any tips on how you did the HP so fast?

BradMyers82 · Sep 2009

Yeah, nice work as always man! I too am interested about your workflow, because unless you don't sleep, you sure are making a lot of art in a short period of time.

G3L · Sep 2009

What? I'll repeat what most everyone has said...4-5 hours? My gawd...who are you? LOL, yeah it'd be nice to receive some tips on your workflow. Very nice gun man!

Swizzle · Sep 2009

I am thoroughly disappointed with this. It has nowhere near the requisite amount of Epic Games Superfluous Detail 5000 ® I've come to expect from Gears of War and other associated titles. I do hope you're at least going to give it a predominantly brown texture with brown highlights and a bit of brown grunge to offset the fact that it's terribly lacking in overzealous application of greebles, nurnies and completely misused ZBrush scratches, dings and nicks.

Snefer · Sep 2009

Thanks for the comments. My highpoly workflow was pretty straightforward with this gun. Made a quick concept on paper, and started blocking it out. After that its just to keep on bevelling ^^

Swizzle, you mean like...THIS? (WIP texture, and huge size. will turn it down one size to a 1k-texture)

Sauron · Sep 2009

man, you're crazy, so cool an so quick!

EbolaV · Sep 2009

looks awesome :thumbup:

BradMyers82 · Sep 2009

Looks great, and thanks for the advice about the modeling, even if your just doing standard stuff.
The textures are looking pretty sweet man, but its a little overboard on the noisey detail imo, even for a Gears of War type asset. Like I know those are leather straps on the gun, but they aren't really reading as leather atm. And the one red tube going to the glow bit, looks like it has ice on it.
But... Nicely done regardless, and damn you are quick!

Shogun3d · Sep 2009

Fantastic man, wicked high poly and nice textures. Love the leather straps!

HolyMonkey · Sep 2009

Wow... just wow...... and you modelled it in 4-5 hours aswell, that is fucking sick

Sure hope massive is taking in interns this year, if I by any chance get an intern there, you have to give me some pointers

Orgoth02 · Sep 2009

Blah!!! I just threw up a little bit, this thing is f-ing sick. Good work man

you watch your mouth! lol

lookin ace snef.

AimBiZ · Sep 2009

Hot stuff! Personally I'd like it cleaner though, with fewer but more exagurated wear n tear areas. watcha think?

Pedro Amorim · Sep 2009

I smell Modo!

woogity · Sep 2009

<tips hat> very nice sir...now the low wires and flats...give them to us that we may see your skill and steal your powers!

-Woog

whats_true · Sep 2009

That circle part, were it looks like a flat head screw. Metals going straight across. Looks like it should be in pieces, not one solid chunk.

Thats all I can pick at this hehe. The gun should have smoke coming out for effect ;]

Snefer · Sep 2009

bitmap: the sweet, sweet smell of Modo... ^^

woogity: thanks, I will post wires and flats tomorrow, gotta polish it up a bit aswell

whats_true, you are totally right, thats an easy fix, cheers

BradMyers82: Hmm, maybe they are. Yeah, that area with the red is specular going a bit too crazy, might have to tone that down. Laso the leather got some funky specular going on, might be whats throwing you off.

Snefer · Sep 2009

Fixed the mesh a bit, made some changes to the texture etc, here is a presentation-shot, i will post flats and more angles etc later

Snefer · Sep 2009

Aaand some texture-sheets

BradMyers82 · Sep 2009

Snefer: Thanks for posting the texture flats, they look really nice.

I'm looking forward to seeing some more angles.

Noia · Sep 2009

Beautiful job! The model is so detailed and crisp.

Belltann · Sep 2009

Great end result mate

Really liking how you managed the worn hardsurfaces and the skinwrap on the handle.
