And another Dies shettier. Again an older illo. The comments were great on the previous Shette post and some of the same things apply for this one too. It's primarily an aesthetics exercise in design with technical kinks to be worked out later, or at least when I drew it in 2001 it was my intent to go back to it and work out how it should work and function more clearly as I'm pretty familiar with handgun design and their inner guts. I never got round to doing that though. I just figured It would be cool to CG up these old illos and as far as the aesthetic part I'm happy with the results
Comments are appreciated, no question

awesome design and original trigger design.
that trigger rocks, and the handle shape for a hand is perfect.
i think i have a good idea for a trigger too, but needs improvin'
i must ask though. when you would fire, where does the (sorry can't remember the proper name for it) bulletshell/case go?
did you make all this design stuff (for) yourself
or was it during your work at some place (sorry if this is already explained in the description
hope it all goes well
Perspective-wise, I don't think we should be seeing the ellipse at the end of the barrel. I noticed this as well in the previous illo.
Heheh, I'm very nitpicky.
On aesthetic preference, I liked the previous one better. I'm not sure if it's just me but this one has a more simplified look.
I did a ton of designs for this project during that time and some of the art, like these, I seemed to be more about just getting the basic shapes down and I got lazy on technical issues. I’ve noticed that even some of my fav Japanese anime designers often belt out concepts with questionable perspective issues as well, I guess because they have so little time to do pre-production. This isn’t to say I excuse this, it’s just an observation, in the end it’s the ideas that matter as often the kinks do get worked out, least I plan to iron em out
Yup, I like the other one better too, it has a meaner look to it. This one is a more simplified look but that’s plenty common in weapons design even from the same manufacturer.
