Aug Bar from Hell
polycounter lvl 10
Hi Polycount! I'm currently working on the Steyr Aug Bar except one that is from Hell (inspired by Ghost Rider). This is a work in progress, I'm still aiming to a scope, chains, bi-pod, and other additions. Hope you enjoy so far! C&C is welcome!

Just off the top of my head, the more creative but still traditionally Western European conceptions of Hell by artists have been from painters like Wayne Barlowe (in the God's Demon series), or Dante's Inferno from EA.
It's a good start, but there's definitely some space for more interesting designs. Like does holding the gun at the grips have to be comfortable? What if it's something that's disquieting to hold. Or perhaps the butt of the gun is slimy and unnerving. Perhaps the whole gun itself is alive in a way?
Keep the work flowin'.
Cheers!
Your gun has the AUG silhouette but doesn't appear to have the two different aesthetics working together in a logical manner.
I feel like you've got so much more to incorporate from what you currently have... since you've already gone along the lines of skulls and hell why not use the whole spectrum of the theme? like maybe use different bone parts to make up for places like the back of the guns etc...
Some useful reference images would definitely be the Crota Guns in Destiny since most of them are very bone like.
Keep going (Y)
My main complaint is that most of your hell forms don't seem to make any sense. All the guns Kid cited have a shape language applied to them that copmliments the shapes of the original gun. You seem to have tape, vines, veins, heads, intestines and blobs tacked on everywhere. And because you sculpted right onto the gun it looks like they came from the same mold. I'd much rather see the shapes have a particular style that works with the gun. The AUG, by default, is mostly one large piece of plastic. Hard edges with large, flat shapes from hell or stone or whatever material would compliment the AUG nicely, like nearly all of Kid's references.
Having these growths be separate to the gun and growing to match the form would look much better, as was mentioned before with the chaos space marine gun.
