I've been going around as a writer, but started getting drawn into Concept Art and 3D modeling. I'm currently finishing my studies as a 3D artist and will then be let loose on the world. Beware!
Little more work done. Proportions are really a bitch on this one. Tiny changes make stuff look very different. I'm gonna have to take breaks and eyeball it from time to time, in order to make everything look right.
I'm thinking of using another scope or ironsights for the time being. This current one will need some work and I want to concentrate on the rifle.
Nice concept and modelling, but a few issues stand out if this is meant to be a smallish bull-pup weapon. The trigger guard and trigger assembly are just way too small for the scale you should be looking at, you'd have to have the fingers of a small child to get your digits in there, so in my opinion that detail is the first thing you need to address. Other than that I'm really digging the design. As well as the design cues mentioned by others it reminds me of the future phased plasma pulse rifles used by the T-800s in the first Terminator movies, you should definitely check that out if you haven't already.
