Futuristic weapon

Mood Board:

When looking for images for a mood board I find a wide variate of images (I ended up finding about 100 images!) and from those I pick ones that really poke at my imagination. It could be the shape of the weapon, the colour scheme or certain bits of it. 

Initial designs:

These are the first sketches that I did. This was just me trying to find a theme and style that I wanted the gun to go with. In the first image you can see I was trying to go with a laser beam type concept but it wasn't really working out.

Final Sketch:

Final sketch design and I went with the idea that the weapon was fueled by energy that is reloaded from each side of the weapon (giving it a high capacity) 

Finished:

The final product is a mass produced weapon for a military company. The metal plate on the side is for the solider to put their name and I.D. number.

Conclusion:

Had a lot of fun with this theme and weapon! Was very pleased with the outcome of it.
