Step.4 Finalising

I took my favourite 6 and created outlines over them to define their individual parts, segments and give clearer understanding as to how the weapon looks.

I really enjoyed this segment of the development as it caused the weapons to feel more functional and obviously gave me a better insight into how they will eventually look.

At this point I felt it would be helpful to add colour to the designs. For this directed study I wanted to focus on a single weapon and create a couple of colour iterations for that design.

I decided that the very top design, the "sniper rifle" concept would be the most interesting and fitting design to the destiny world with plenty of plating and cosmetics to enjoy colouring.

This was the first colour over of the first weapon design.

In the end I created 5 more and compiled them together in a composition of the original silhouettes, the over lone drawings, and then the final 6 colour iterations of the first weapon.

I have compiled the 6 colour iterations for a better view

I was very pleased with the colour outcome of the 1st concept and the deep red and white and orange designs were my two favourites in the end as I felt they fit the destiny universe the best, displayed the vibrant and exciting colours found in the weapons in the game.

Thoughts:

That's it for now. The directed study all in all was a very enjoyable experience and I definitely plan to continue this work and research past the directed study

I hope to potentially come up with more ideas, create a 3D model of one of these weapons perhaps, and even experiment with armour or ship designs and continue to surround myself in the world of Destiny.

Bungie has and will likely always be my end goal. i have loved their games ever since the first time I played Halo: CE and will continue to hone my skills and create pieces to help me get there. It's a long journey but one that I hope through time and hard work will yield the results I've always hoped for.
