American M4A1 Standard Issue

[Samboy]

Just a small thing I've been doing for a few weeks, working on a gun that is present in a few current games, the M4A1 Standard Issue.

Spoiler: Original

The first version I made, without any overlay effects.

Spoiler: Saturated Version

The second, which I decided to saturate and lighten because of the darker version.

Any constructive criticism would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot. Anyone can use this, with credit.

woa.! good it

 

[Samboy]

Thanks. I do hope I got all the shadows right... check that, everyone.

 

[Venetia]

Freaking awesome!

However

I feel like the outline is too dark. The clip is too light and doesn't look like it has a shadow. And that bumped ... grip part at the bottom? (Sorry I don't know the anatomy of rifles) The bumps should have a smaller shadow and bigger highlight than the ridges.

 

[Blitzlance]

wow awsome!

 

[Yeyinde]

samboy, that's awesome! Maybe you could smooth out the gradients a bit a-la dithering.

Venetia, that bumped grippy thing is an attached grenade launcher. At least that's what I think you mean ;p

 

[Samboy]

Freaking awesome!

samboy, that's awesome!

Wow, that means a lot to me, coming from Yeyinde, and you especially Venetia. Thanks guys.

I drew my model from these pictures:

With a few things aside, of course. There are some parts on the rifle that aren't necessary, so I left them out. (I hope this explains the grenade launcher better for you Ven!)

Shame it hasn't anything to do with any games I'm working on, I must say it looks rather a fine job.

 

[Venetia]

Holy skite, that thing's a grenade launcher?!

I only really know about handguns, never was terribly interested in military weapons ... But damn, maybe I'll change my mind ..... :'o

 

[Luminier]

Well now, that is just fantastic, you should be proud of yourself! No criticisms I could add that haven't already been said. Keep it up!

Completly beautiful!
Lovin' the M203 grenade launcher.

Is there anyway I can get you to do a few large gunsprites for my project?

 

[Samboy]

Sorry saikyo765, but I'm already on numerous teams. If I ever get the time, and after Light and Darkness, Le Mal, Corona! The Game and The Finest Hour are finished, then be sure to give me a buzz. I'll be happy to help then.

WEW! That looks fegging awesome. In Warrock the M4A1 is my favourite gun. Gun, not sniper

 

[Jason]

They look really nice ! Draw more !

 

[MexicanRifleman]

Very nice and professional looking, you should draw the StG 44 or the Ak-47/MS
