This one is one of my little nerd obsessions, ever since Cobra Commander had one built onto Megatron's new Generation 2 body in GI Joe (What? I said it was a nerd thing. Don't @ me). The Rail Gun. They're somewhere between a cool idea, and a terrifying one, as they are being developed in real life, and hey, apparently we didn't have enough ways to kill each other. That said... If we are going to kill each other, there is some very cool technology behind this particular method

Here's a weapon design for Primal:Khaos. This was a design that was more of an experiment, rather than being based on actual sniper designs. I was just trying to get it down to basic shapes, and work it up to a design from there. I also really wanted to do something with the barrel, with the hovering translucent plates. I moved the sketches into Photoshop, and developed them, ironing out some kinks and tidying it up. From that, I finished up the design, and added the glowing

I had a really good meeting with the rest of Yelkrab this week, and got to see some of the environments that these characters are going to be battling in, and the textures that are going to be going on the 3D models. These are going to be good! The design I wanted to share this week isn't named yet, but as you can see from the early sketches, it's based on a Rhino skull. I wasn't trying to just make a rhino-alien (Dr Who already beat me to that), but I thought it was a great

Another weapon design, this time for an assault rifle. As you can see from the sketches below, I did a couple of research sketches of real rifles, and then quickly went into some ideas I'd already had kicking around my head. I had used the hammerhead-style design in some of the helmet designs that I've done, and which I am going to be sharing in the future (I don't have images of the 3D models of those yet). As well as the hammerhead image, the design of this rifle is suppos
