Zap Zap!

Every so often, Bungie let's me design some guns at work, which is a lot of fun.  I owe a great deal of my knowledge of this stuff to Issac Hannaford: Isaa'cs Blog

Here are some  quick sketches. I don't spend much time on these, as these will never fall into a 3D artist's hands :) I mostly focus on getting them to feel weighted and to have a good mix of large and small shapes.
