Now, even a barbarian can harness the power of, not just one, but FIVE wizards! This is a legendary weapon, hastily forged to utilize the latent magic of wands from fallen wizards. With a collection of wands inserted into the rotary rack and a magical energy source housed in the resonance chamber, this weapon spins up to emit repeated magical blasts at a high rate of fire. Swap out the rack for wands of a different element to specialize the damage dealt.
This project was created to get an idea out of my head. Specifically that of a gun you'd find in an old school shooter, alla DOOM. I just imagined some barbarian type of character beating up wizards, taking their wands, and making a gun out of it in order to shoot more wizards. Everything here was made from scratch, all from the top of my head. Combines hard surface modeling, as well as sculpting.
Modeled in MAYA, Sculpted in Mudbox, Rendered in Blender Cycles, Textured in Substance Painter.
