Visual Design: Sci-Fi Weapon

Sci-Fi Weapon

I started this weeks homework by researching different types of Sci-Fi Weapon designs from both games and media. I also decided to research different material designs to try and be more original rather have a typical metal weapon.

I wanted to create a weapon design which can be moulded and reshape to the player's requirements, so the type of materials I researched where different types of plastics and putty.






I began my rough sketches deciding what my main weapon type would be. I sketched out rough silhouettes based on the guns I've researched to help get a better idea of what shape I wanted my gun. I asked myself whether i wanted to create a small pistol or a large sniper.




I also sketched different textured material designs and shapes to help get a better idea on what sci-fi material I wanted for my gun. I also want to show the material in my final work as I want to express the freedom the material allows the user to create any weapon design.




I created two final sketches one for a pistol and another for a sniper. I decided to go with the pistol as it was a more simpler design and I felt the design was more pleasing to the eye.





I decided to go with a putty type material as I feel it's a more believable material to use for a portable malleable material for my weapons. I want to focus more on the coloured texture rather than the features of each weapon as I want to explain the type of material used for each weapon created. 


I decided to use the colour green as it's a common colour associated with sic-fi and it also helps express the malleable putty material. I laid my final piece out like blueprints explaining the new range of guns and the new material used to create it.
