Allrighty, me thinks I'll have a go at this one. :p

I've felt like participating in a challenge for a while, but with school, that hasn't been too very possible, as I dedicate around 60-70 hours to homework each week...

However, for my Games: Modeling and Texture class, I am required to have done 3 models; two of which are going well, but the third has failed, and I've been looking for inspiration for a third.

Turns out I might be able to kill two birds with one stone :attn:

EDIT:

Of course, as per mtmckinley's guidelines, I won't be throwing the texture on the model for the challenge; I'll leave that for my class only user added image

Some of the things I've been looking at to help me in visual creation:

As per the images, you can tell that I've gone down the route of the trenchcoat. You can also see that there's a lack of a head in both the model and the image planes; I'm working on incorporating a gas-mask-wearing head onto the model.

The whole concept reminds a lot of Wolfenstein.

Will watch this one! Are you doing a male or female ?

In all truth, I've tried to (and will continue to try to) stay away from making it gender specific.

Much like in this image; is that a male or a female?! :angery:

EDIT:

I edited the second post to include the image of the "air pistol" I used to make the model.

I knew, in my mind, what I wanted, but I had no idea what to call it, so I couldn't look for it by name (I have no gun lore :p ). In the end, I managed to find it under the context of "air pistol."

It is a female. Trenchcoats for men is wrapped over the other side. user added image

If you google on "luger" you will see the likeness of your air pistol on the luger user added image

Oooh...luger's actually look pretty good; I might model one or two other variants, and see which one I like; thanks :attn:

Particle Effects 1 (getting familiarized with Maya's particle awesomeness)

and 3D Organic Modeling (ZBrush sculpting; highly-realistic models)

You sure I shouldn't be spending that much time on homework? :p

True, I especially like the long...what it is; muzzle? The forward-most part where the bullet comes out.

I might do the one at the far-right, second from the top; the one with the dark grey/black handle.

Right, while that first luger looked nice, I felt 1,404 faces was ludicris, so I pulled it down...looks decent enough for the competition's puropses; I was getting way too into it user added image
