Highguard Previs Weapon Exploration

This is the very first page of weapon concepts I did at Wildlight. Way before Highguard was a thing. Taking a first stab at trying to find the right balance of grounded real world weapons that fit in a fantasy world. We did not know how much fantasy our world would end up being at the point, so this was an effort to help answer that question. These ended up being to far for the IP we ended up with, but there's still a vibe and some details I miss from these, that I think could have worked well in unifying our IP better.
