Raygun gothic arsenal !
#art

An array of six personal weapons designed in a retro sci-fi style, with wood and brass and chrome and coils and whatnot.
The first gun is a loooong rail gun. It has a wooden moukala butt stock with copper wire decorations, while the rest of the gun's body is bronze and chrome with 28 copper coils arranged on its sides. It has a cog-toothed lever action and many scope lenses.
The second gun is a Whitney Wolverine pistol with a heat-colored chrome finish and brass slotted grip slabs. The serrations on the slide are cut following flowing organic lines reminiscent of a mackerel's stripes.
The third weapon is a truncheon with its grip shaped like a knuckle duster and its head being made of a ribbed glass electric insulator capped with a large bolt cap.
The fourth gun (ignore the numbering system switching from gun to weapon and back) is a short bolt action carbine with another ribbed insulator used as a forend. The glass for these is a nice deep green. The bolt action is that of a Liégeoise 1888 rifle, whereas the stock around it has been modified to have a semi pistol grip as well as a target rifle hand rest right in front of the forend. The brass fittings have strange bubbly shapes, and the front sight blade has a very tall swept figure.
The fifth gun is a machine pistol of sorts with a fixed brass skeleton stock emerging from a cut out slot in the grip slabs and being held onto the gun with the same screws, and its frame houses a copper coil like that from an alcohol still. The gun's frame itself is chrome plated with a rear bustle and a straight grip like a Borchardt 1893 pistol, with a couple of bronze recoil compensator fitted end to end featuring helicoidal grooves.
The last gun is boxy four-barreled break action shotgun, with all four barrels held in a square cluster and heavily discolored at the muzzle. The stock features a knob and a large copper speaker.

More of the UI for that project

Originally the menu was centered, but here I was experimenting with "slow-down but dont pause at menus", so the menu got shifted to the side.

(it looked better when it was centered)

Have I been drawing wacky guns the entire time ??
#art

A series of crystal-powered guns made of wood, brass and steel in an ornate 19th century decorative style.
The first one is a sniper rifle with a Martini action and a very long scope, with the smooth eggplant-shaped pink crystal used as its power source serving as a short buttstock.
The second one is a large shoulder fired weapon with a large rough blue crystal held in vices into a latticed funnel-shaped barrel tapering into a regular octagonal barrel. It is fired using a smaller purple crystal held in a flintlock looking action, with the trigger linked to a pistol grip far to the front of said action and a large leather cushion to res the weapon on one's shoulder.
Third one is a stubby little thing, with the back half of a Colt revolver with a sturdy stock attached to the grip, and a multifaceted teal crystal where the cylinder should be before a wide short barrel.
In fourth is a flintlock pistol with a mechanism to turn it into a breechloader, with each cartridge containing a short red rod of smooth crystal.
The fifth one, powered by a dark purple crystal, is a large pepperbox carbine, which appears to be striker fired and spring loaded, with many brass fittings and a wind up key strapped onto it and held with a chain lanyard.
The sixth and final gun is essentially one of those so-called Apache knuckle duster pistols, but instead of a revolver or pepperbox itt bears a large pointed light green crystal, and ends up looking like the noisy cricket from MIB.

Three magical muskets. The first one is an arcane tschinke, a wheellock fowling piece from Central Europe, with every bit of metal on it gilded and intricately carved with runes and shit.
The second is a Japanese arquebus, made of red cherry tree and mounted in silver, with its matchlock mechanism covered in talisman bearing the sign for fire.
The third one is a jezail or moukala decorated with shining brass wire and green tassels. Instead of a barrel, its long stock bear a series of lenses focusing the light somehow held in a jar like mechanism above the action into a deadly ray. The jar's surface is decorated like an astrolabe and the action is simply meant to open its spring loaded lid for a few seconds.

"In Never’s End, many assets are modeled directly without concept art. But for characters & enemies, I adapt Masayoshi Nishimura’s detailed designs, staying faithful while simplifying elements that would be too noisy at our in-game scale".

"Environments pose unique challenges in Never’s End. With full 360° rotation, props can block key objects or enemies, so we build spaces with readability in mind, even cutting away walls when needed".

"The grass and dirt terrain blocks were tricky to make. After many iterations to get that hand-drawn sprite look, I think the final result is one of the best executions of that idea in the game."
