How To Create Concept Guns From Scratch.

This is a step by step tutorial for creating and planning Concept guns for video games, movies and 3D Renders. I will be using Krita and Blender but these tips will work with any digital software. All that is left to do is start.

I love how youtube has finally begun promoting smaller channels and have recommended me something that i would like to do. Thank you i can finally make cool stuff for my portfolio

[@CreoSolus]

Happy to help!

[@QuesoGr7]

There's a lot videos on how to draw/render, but not enough videos about how to design like this one. REally appreciate this.

[@CreoSolus]

Always happy to here my video helped.

[@Alpha_TheBreadlord]

a video i needed, yea but, SICK INTRO. one of the only intros i have seen that isnt crap

[@CreoSolus]

Glad it helped, thanks for the kind feedback. I'm also not a fan of long winded intros.

I'm really enjoying your videos about weapons. I've tried several times and it always went wrong, but after watching these videos, I'm motivated again. I'm going to start practicing again and try to improve more and more. Whenever there's more content on the subject and it's possible to create another video, I'll be here to watch.

[@CreoSolus]

Thanks, same here whenever I'm feeling stuck I rewatch some of the old tutorials I know and love. Hopefully the next video wont take to long.

[@kalova6731]

Finally a good channel that youtube recommended

[@CreoSolus]

Thank you, really appreciate it

Nice video; I have a lot to say. I'll preface that I appreciate you mentioning cultivating a healthy mindset when it comes to art. We all as artists have trouble appreciating our own work, especially during the steepest parts of the learning process. It is in light of that that I want to be very careful about how I say my piece, so that I can maximize the utility of my criticism. I have a lot of opinions on concept weapon design, and sometimes the demons get out a little. But for what its worth, my whole comment comes from a place of love and respect. I think that there is a very important part of the design process that was untouched upon in this video. A fictional weapon, whether sci-fi, fantasy, etcetera, should (in my opinion) present a credible illusion of functionality. You do mention this briefly when discussing the concept of anchors, and you (and other artists) likely understand this tacitly, but I believe this step is so very important and deserves much more time and thought. This is a problem I've had with 95% of concept guns I've seen, including big name IPs and, unfortunately, every piece of yours that was shown. Designing from existing guns helps yes, but the more iterations and fantastical elements are added, the higher my disbelief is forced to be suspended. It is not, for the record, the inclusion of "unrealistic" elements that I have a problem with but rather the fact that I have basically never seen a fantastical design that is a great deal more concerned with being consistent with its of set of well considered rules than chasing signs (semiotics). I think the most egregious area for all concept weapons (guns or otherwise) that I have seen has to be issues of ergonomics. This is because, although I raise my eyebrow at the inclusion of pipes, vents, and spikes that I strongly doubt have a well considered function in service of some mechanism behind them; I can charitably dismiss them, the core conceit of concept weapons being handheld devices designed for humanoid users is nigh unavoidable. It is unfortunate then that most designs, even the ones that include a stock and a grip, look downright horrid to wield. The causes of this are varied and many, from the common issues like """functional""" pieces being in the way of the user, to genuinely ubiquitous issues like weapons being too big. Granted, I recognize that I am more prone than most to being bothered by these details because the general population, including creatives, are less knowledgeable in arms than I am (I'll spare the credentials but I do know what I'm talking about). That said, I strongly believe that good design is deep- deeper than 99% of people will realize. Even for people who are somewhat more knowledgeable, depth of design usually just manifests as that barely intangible "looks right" factor. It may be the case that my creative values are not yours, but if they are (or just compatible perhaps), I strongly recommend that you have a longer think about the what and the why of arms design. It can be so easy to just add details that are ill considered, and end up with a corny, ugly, nonfunctional concept weapon. I'm not necessarily suggesting you design things action outward (I do, but you don't have to), rather develop and understanding of why things are the way they are and use that to refine your concepts. Lastly, I don't mean to say all this to discourage you (Creo Solus/reader). Please continue to create and iterate, just remember to refine your concept with a strong understanding of both how and why. Lord knows I've filled drawing books with weapons that fail on every count I brought up here and more. But as a person with knowledge and opinions, I felt it was necessary to dole out this criticism, if for no other goal than so that you all make more things that I like.

[@CreoSolus]

Thanks for the feedback , appreciate it.

[@polishdronestrike1797]

you are awesome, some great advice, I really like that you put emphasis on being a human (rest) it's rare to see that in internet artists. Thanks for this

[@CreoSolus]

Thank you, sometimes we just need a reminder that we aren't machines.

[@freakinevil]

left blender long ago but this guy right here made me start again kudos amazing tutorials keep em coming

[@CreoSolus]

Great to hear it! And thank you.

[@Einxeld]

Are you also doing this as your job? Your skills are awesome and I would like to play some games with your guns. You teach stuff that is way better than what many sell in their courses.

[@CreoSolus]

Thank you so much, I do freelancing concept art but it would be a dream come true to have some of guns in a game like destiny or doom.

[@islandgrinding9274]

Your videos are awesome and help soo much, are you thinking about making a discord server for your growing community?

[@CreoSolus]

Thank you. The idea has definitely crossed my mind, so maybe I'll make one in the near future.

[@Aragos207]

Let’s gooooo. Really good video! Keep up the good work!

[@CreoSolus]

Thank you, really appreciate the support.

[@chepchelinka7200]

thank you for this video

[@CreoSolus]

No problem

[@aliyutube]

love this! a lot of random useful tips : )

[@CreoSolus]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the kind comment

[@theinla027]

I really like it, can't wait new tutorial u are awesome

[@CreoSolus]

Appreciate it. Hopefully I dont take too long. Thank you.

[@nicomochka]

чувак, меня будто осенило после просмотра, спасибо

[@CreoSolus]

No problem, its great when the idea finally clicks.

[@Authy-nz4zj]

If I could buy Creo Solus stocks, I would. Great videos!

[@CreoSolus]

Thxs, You're too kind. Idk where I'd even start, maybe a gun plushie XD

[@ДобрыняНикитич-ш2п]

Great video! The tried and true revolver makes me violently upset tho 😢

[@CreoSolus]

Thanks, yeah there are a few problems with it

[@diegojaramillo107]

TY! You should try to do at least a Domestika course of this.

[@CreoSolus]

No problem, maybe in the future but for now I will stick to KZbin.

[@BusinessWolf1]

nice 😃

[@CreoSolus]

Thanks

[@rishabhsharma472]

are you using a graphic tablet

[@CreoSolus]

Yes, I'm using a wacom intuos.

[@sanchitc_art]

2002 called, they want their gun concept art back

[@CreoSolus]

Not a bad year for games

[@QuassGamer]

Small addition: There must analyzing of your references depending of that you want create. Mindless concepting or photobashing couldn't get good results without understanding of basics.

[@CreoSolus]

Well said, thanks for the addition. It's always useful to understand why artists or designers made the choices they did.

[@BCGVali]

Sir i want to learn modeling in depth from scratch can you suggest me course or other things

[@CreoSolus]

Blender guru is a good place to start, many blender modeling skills will transfer to modeling guns. So if you practice modeling simple objects and then slowly move on to more complex ones. Hopefully this helps.

[@BCGVali]

@@CreoSolus I have watched that 6 months before the donut 🍩 but is is not use full I want to learn deep topology modeling hard surface searching from 1 year try ai also no use for me i want to learn but all tutorial are trash I buy some 3 paid course also don't have use

[@defendrr_ru]

oh here it is :))))

[@CreoSolus]

Indeed it is.

[@comguaf8093]

would you recomend the same steps for make a caracter?

[@CreoSolus]

I tend to take a similar approach however I'll use references for a pose and others for clothes and accessories. But I'm not a qualified character designer, I just draw characters for personal use. So I can't give much more advice than that.

[@comguaf8093]

@@CreoSolus I do caracter in very low poly for my game then a friend helps me for some money hahaha ( I am game developer but I do other stuff not the 3d caracters and detail things) but this video really helps me to get better perspective :3 now I can lay off my friend hahaha

[@pleasantlygrim6712]

part 2 pls

[@CreoSolus]

Will do.

[@MechBurner]

Do u use a pen tablet sir?

[@CreoSolus]

Yes I use a wacom intuos. The drawing pad without a screen.

[@mohammadghulam-q9w]

hey creo solus im new to krita and i wanna make futuristic guns can u give me any tips on that pls

[@CreoSolus]

My best advice starting out is references. Always constantly look back at others artists work to see what they did. And how you can use that to improve your work. 2nd is take your time art takes time to master so don't worry if you don't get it on the first time. Good luck

[@mohammadghulam-q9w]

@@CreoSolus u know what ima subscribe thx creo solus and can u do more vids abt creating wepons on krita

[@pixart_king]

Send this one to bathesta hq please

[@CreoSolus]

Thanks for the awesome complement.
