BDM142 Digital Media - Issue with 3d Element - Gun




Following the theme I chose, which is Military themed poster from WW1/2 (more writeup about that to come) I chose to replicate some guns in maya as my 3d element. I broke up the gun into a few pieces, mainly the complicated and the, atleast what i thought was, the simple. I've run into snags where trying to get an overhang etc to look right just isn't working. So even more so i'm going to have to start again and break it into every visible part so the polygons for each piece is as simple as possible.

Sick and sore, but powering through

Been sick for the last week, stressed out from stuff due...

But thought i'd post this.

These are what i'd like to aim for in animation style and quality but... i'm not sure how 'viable' it is for me.

Character design akin to 
The hybridisation of Japanese Anime with western designs speaks volumes to me.
When I first saw the character designs for batman in Justice League War, and Son of Batman, batman to me finally felt badass again.

Though looking at these I feel i'm at a falsehood.... these films take millions to make with huge teams and over years with experts.... I look at my own work and get frustrated when the very lines refuse to follow my hand. The subtly amazes me.
