Hand Painting Practise 5.0

Tried my hand at weapon art this time. For now I took an amazing concept by Betty Jiang, which can be found here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eQRZ6.

I modelled a loose base in 3Ds Max and sculpted some basic details in Zbrush. I baked a couple of maps off of it, and used those as a base diffuse. I then used some gradient color curves in Photoshop to give it a base color and went to paint over that from there on out in 3D-Coat. Fun little project to do, still a long way to go though!
