Artist's Comments

This imposing hand cannon bad boy is an electric cap ignition Shettier revolver made by Geind. The lack of a conventional hammer is due to the electric "charge" ignition cap firing design. What this does is rather than a blast cap on the back of the shells the flechette (Shett dart) shells have a special resin that the weapon sends a charged jolt into which fires the round. A top break design to load the cylinder with five large caliber (similar to a 50) shettes. The weapon is in hot mode, safety off indicated by the dim red lights in the trigger housing. The weapon has a little wear from it's owners use and the gunmetal gray finish has a subtle parkerizing on it's surface.

Electric cap ignition shettiers picked up a slang nickname "lighters" (which recalls the old 40s film noir term heaters) and the term is now common enough to be in use by the actual manufactures when assigning weapon codes and names. This, like the previous shettier posts, was based on a thumbnail on this sheet [link] It probably won't be too hard to find it on there ;) Blown up in Photoshop CS3 and converted to a full digital paint.

more to come...

Cheers!

Edit: :iconmalaveldt: had some good suggestions so I just added a little touch to amp some extra oomph into the barrel's profile. The top of the front sight now has a touch of red and a little top fin the same finish as the trigger guard (no parkerizing).

I like the shape of this and the direction it's going. I particularly like the shapes near the trigger. At the same time, there's something of a tentativeness to the front end- I think it'll tend to lose a lot of it's visual drama and distinctiveness when held in the hand. You might consider exaggerating the top strap and having a more aggressive silhouette for the foresight. Likewise, perhaps a deepening of the area beneath the barrel? I'd also be curious to see how the ignition battery is dealt with.

Still hard to believe this is a blown up thumbnail. You certainly threw plenty of details on it and let us not talk about the texture!

I love the shading and wear you put into it, it treally feels as if its seen the frontier.

If I had a critique Id say the handle is bit long considering how high the web of the hand would rest on it (good on a high recoil weapon due to less leverage on the wrist) so you probably don't need as much grip length. Probably as short as just above/below the next to last wrap line on the grip.
