Some progression here of quick sketches to more fleshed out renderings of mythic skin exploration. The theme was "dark rift", so I tried to create cool ways to split apart the weapon that are first person view friendly. Some sort of "black hole" or rift of sorts would be tearing it apart and distorying/abstracting the weapon geo. This actually got blocked out and proxied in game, but never quite fully made it. Continued this theme in another post on a few more weapons, as full turnarounds for outsourced vendors.
