A set on concept explorations attempting to mix good read as weapons with somewhat bizarre effects while not entering into the realm of the magical. Grounded absurdity, maybe.
Needs a sling. Possibly a coil gun. Potentially interesting reload animation and manual of arms.
Mostly interesting for a sense of negative space that suggests attaching other forms. Might explore the idea further elsewhere.
Cumbersome energy weapon with a non-line of sight effect. Engine like.
Possibly a net launcher or line thrower. Very un-weaponish shapes and colors but seeing what could be achieved with human affordances and a sense of directionality.
Initial sketch.
Some exploration of semi-exotic human scale weapons as a sort of adjunct to my earlier heavy weapon concepts done along similar lines of thought: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/BX3kx4
Generally a repetition of the question how do to communicate 'weapon-ness' in a way that is both interesting and inherently easy to grasp for the player, though in a different key than the heavy weapons.
