Wow those drawings are great, are they yours?

I would like to see those weapons that the soldiers are holding specially the ones from the top image

Yep, I drew them. And infact, that weapon held by the Earth Coalition marines is the IWB AR-90, sans the underbarrel grenade launcher.

[-Skykanden-]

Oh good...
But I think that AR-90 if it's like the one from the drawing should go:
==\--
1  2 3

1. Body of the weapon (the front part)
2. The ending of the body and that will unite the barrel with the body, to simulate some weapons like Tavor could be a line like that \ and with some holes to decrease the muzzle, and in weapon-gfx you could modify the fire so the muzzle will go by those holes
3. The barrel

You mean... to add a flash-hider/muzzle brake?

[-Skykanden-]

Yeah, why not? Just try it and if you don't like it take the other version

[demoniac93]

Do you have any appetizers for the weapons or gosteks? Would make things interesting, and worth waiting for

[ChaoticEnvoy]

@SkyKanden: I will have a go on that.

@demoniac93: In fact, I had some on the first page... Added the "Inspirational Art" on the first post.

[croat1gamer]

Now, after i realized this is based on espadons artworks, i must say i just love you.
Finally someone is making it.

[Espadon]

That's not DEV storyline. Allow me to clarify that while I allow permission to base the weapons off my DEV artwork, but I am not endorsing this mod as DEV canon in any way.

[ChaoticEnvoy]

@Espadon: Got it. By the way, the DEV mod's development is currently frozen, as I have insufficient information on it by now.

Updates on the first page, added several new weapons, and added some texts to each weapon, for those who wonder what they do.

Also, I need some ideas and inspriations on the remaining weapons, my brain is running out of juice now...

[MattH]

The first 3 weapons I don't like ( they look a bit cartoony ) the rest look really nice (btw by the first 3 I don't mean Espadons guns).

[-Skykanden-]

I really like the last 2 weapons
The update to ar-90 looks great.
Wait does the railgun has what all Tau (W40k) weapons has? (at the back part of the weapon)

Saiga is so small

I think it's some sort of capacitor or cartiage delievery mechanism. Caseless weapons use that kind of thing.

And yes, I will make the Saiga a little bigger... it looks too small to be a shotgun.

[demoniac93]

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th weapons look too raw and paper-ish, the last two are too alike :/
But the gostek material seems quite amazing, I must say espadon, you're ideas are epic :O

[MattH]

Try adding some light to your weapons I think that would make them look much better.

Mind teaching me how to?

Just add more contrast but IMO your shading looks good

[MattH]

Shading is very easy just take a light color and a darker sample of that same color.


|LIGHT color|DARK color|LIGHT color|

then take the blur tool (its the little pointing hand in GIMP) and mix them together.

sorry for the poor description but the best way to learn is to try.

[Hair|Trigger]

^Looking good, however the contrast is too high in general, try tweaking it a bit.

If that's a laser beam on the ERIS A3, i'd remove it since they never make the weapon look any better.

Edit:  or are these Espadon's work?

These weapons are direct rip-offs from Espadon's artwork. However, I added the laser beam on ERiS A3 for "artistic liberty"... I might be removing it soon. Yet the DEV mod is currently frozen, what do you think about my other weapons on the Soldat 2095 mod?

Edit: I have moved the CoM mod to General Discussion to avoid clutter, this thread will contain my assorted stuffs in the future.

[Gnoblar]

The first drawing is too dwarvish, but the second is great!!!

I'm posting concept art soon for 2057.
