Here's my latest pew pew. In the longer scheme of things, i'll be creating a locker full of weapons, as many people have suggested.
I was given some assistance with rendering by a friend, hence why these renders look more badass than my previous ones. Always thought it was something to do with my texturing, but getting the right background & lighting helped.
I went for a matte black finish. I tried the traditional tanned color, and even some camo finishes but i didn't feel it was 'interesting.' As it is personal work, i want it to be something i personally enjoy.
I'll upload breakdowns, and more focused shots onto the rifle and attachments in due time.
