June, 2017: Animal Weapons Mount

[The Gnomon Workshop]

Heavy weapons require a mount of some sort which helps the operator efficiently deploy it in battle. Weapons mounts can be found on their persons in the form of a bipod, shoulder mount or on vehicles such as tanks, trucks, planes, etc. This month's challenge is to create a weapons mount specifically used on a realistic or fantastical animal that will be deployed into battle. The interpretation is totally up to you.

EDIT: edit: Winners Announced!

Hello guys,
This is my first time participating in this contest, hopefully you like my submission.

First time using the forum, and starting to use the workshop. I hope you like my interpretation of this. I was playing a world of tanks match and thought about artillery and then thought that hermits carry shells, so why not a heavy weapon.

hello, this mount is build around the idea using the antlers as some kind of shield while you ride the animal and iam with your gun. i thought a triangular armor design would fit, attached to the antlers. since i play "the surge" (pc game) a lot i was realy looking forward designing my own exoskeleton. so, there it is a elk with an exoskeleton. the third design component was, that i was thinking about these pick up trucks with an maschiene gun attached as a light recon/attack vehicle. yea. here it is my "pick up recon elk maschien gun mount". the render is straight out of zbrush. the only thing i did in photoshop was croping the image and lighten up the colores a bit, because zbrush tend to be very dark. thanks and may the brush be with you.


first picture is my submission.

I've been out of the world of 3D for a few years now, finally decided it's time to start back up with it all. Trying to knock the dust off the brain and learn the programs again. My submission for this challenge is a weapons mount for an elephant.

This is my entry for this months challenge, had lots of fun with this one and learnt quite a bit about hard surface modelling.

This is my first time doing an entry contest. Had fun doing this and putting what I learned from Gnomon videos. The tortoise with his cannons reminds me of Blastoise from Pokemon and thats where inspirations cam from.

I decided to try something a bit different and model an insect/human hybrid that kills humans like an exterminator would kill insects. The design of the creature is based on a concept by Carlos Huante, but the weapon and mount were designed entirely by me. Good luck everyone!

Every magical creature doesn't deserve an ordinary weapon
i didn't like doing a modern weapons such as guns being mounted by that old and magical creature, so here it's the heavy weapon .....
