“The Flare Gun!” was my first model built from another artists concept. I found some concept drawings by John McCambridge and I thought it would be another great texturing challenge. I wanted it to look like a weapon you might pick up and think “This rust-bucket is a piece of junk,” but when you fire it, you find out it’s real power. Through some tricky masking in Photoshop, I developed some nice rust and scratches to bring some history to it.
