The knifey elements in the handle are cool (maybe separate the indentations a bit more if they're meant to be for fingers). It also seems very front-heavy considering the handle angle implies it's meant to be used one-handed. The chainlinks could be beefier. Mostly though the modeling's looking nice so far so definitely keep working on it imo

Honestly, I don't know how this shoots but it does indeed shoot bullets. The original concept is from Final Fantasy 8 and "advent children" so it has a sort of fantasy mechanism where it just shoots without explanation :/. As for the charm on the end, it's simply an accessory on the gun nothing more so its not meant for anyone to get their hands into. For whatever reason, the gun is meant to be for people with wildly inhuman strength to sling around(Square Enix is just weird like that). In life scale, its actually about the length from the bottom of the average males torso to the top of their head, so its an insanely large gun to be handled with one hand. Thanks alot for the crits and comment!

Thanks,

I know I'm kinda jumping around here, but just trying my hand at my first character.
Please crit!

Not sure if this would help at all but I've written down some notes on the creature to help me and you guys bring it to life a bit.

-Alcaeus Drone-
Created on the planet Alcaeus, the drone's true purpose is unknown. However, using advanced technology, the Alcaeus Drone is able to receive commands via organic implants into its membrane.
Extra Notes: Despite lacking any effective melee techniques, this keen creature holds the ability to sprint at speeds 8x that of Man's.

Really nice works.

May I know which software are you using and how long have you been doing this ?

Thanks! I use 3DS Max, Zbrush, photoshop, and crazybump. On occasion, I have help from other 3rd party software such as UVlayout and Topogun. I've only been taking this seriously since I've started this thread so I'd say about 5-6 months.

Hello everyone,

after a long time of being locked away in my dungeon, I'm finally back working on my sketchbook

Here is a Medic Backpack asset I created in Max, detailed in Zbrush, and textured in Photoshop.
