Tip Rat Rifle (Mk1)

Moving on from characters and setting. I thought I'd start developing the type of weapons used by these little dirty scavengers. I had already designed this rifle from my earlier illustration. I do however, want to make this project look as polished as I can and therefore I thought I'd show it off in a more viewable and function able fashion.

Character sheet (re-edit)

Having been un happy with the idea and placement of the gas bottle on the Ratz handmade shot gun. I decided to replace it and whilst at it add the colour tones and styling to the Rat that I had original intended. Here is the updated version.

Dump Planet-character sheet-

Quick mock up of a character sheet for another type of Tip Rat. This time focusing on how I could add armour and add a different type of gun.

(looking back at this piece I realize I must re-design this shot gun. I don't like the position of the gas bottle)

Dump Planet -character and environment concept-

Being happy with the both the initial idea and look of these Tip Ratz. I then wanted to create something that would combine both the rat and its environment.

The above piece was that concept.

Dump Planet -concept stage-

With the first location in place and a rough over view of the story. I can now start with the fun part. (adding characters...woo woo, all aboard the 12.15 to Creative Ville)

Having thought of the setting and of the type action that would be taking place there. I was hit with the idea of rats, who would not only be akin to the environment of rubbish and waste, but they would also look rather friggin cool, carrying big guns.

Having thought the idea through. I decided that there weaponry should be made up of different items which have been collected from around this Dump planet. I still however wanted them to look realistic, in terms of there functionality, which in practice, was quite difficult to pull off.

The above sketch's are of such ideas.
