My entry for round 51 of IDW at ConceptArt.org, with the topic of sniper rifles. This was also the winning entry, with 41% of the vote!
I probably spent as much time researching as actually working on this, and I pulled out most of the tools in my arsenal. Started from early sketches in PS, taken to Illustrator for refinement and streamlining, pulled into Maya for perspective reference on the first-person shooter angle and then finalized in Painter.
The composition is a bit more cluttered than I'd like, but my objective was to show as much of the design process that went into this as I could reasonably fit.
Overall I'm pretty happy with the outcome, though I'd like to go back and work on a fully painted version of it alone. It definitely went through some of the best streamlining I've done to date and it's up there on my list of personal favorites.
Timeframe: A bit under a week.
Tools: Illustrator CS2 / Photoshop CS2 / Maya 8.5 / Painter IX

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
