Independent Project

This project's brief was very open ended, there were many choices to go for and I decided to go for a way that gave me the most freedom.

​

I  had been thinking about trying to make a prop from a game or film or from scratch and figured this was a good opportunity to design and make one. I didn't get round to making one, though I was able to at least design a prop. I figured a weapon of some kind would be easiest to design (as well as make) and so went with this rifle, sniper, axe combo,  where the axe can be stored under the front of the rifle, help support aiming when using the sniper option and counterbalance when using the rifle. There are two separate triggers for each gun option.

​

My inspiration stemmed from norse mythology and the game Destiny 2 which my brother often plays and has  also got me to play it at times too. The game helped with the basic structure of the weapon although most of the design came from norse mythology. The runes, the fur and leather, the wolf and Ouroborus, I also decided to add an element of magic/technology through the glass vial full of liquid which is the ammunition for both weapon aspects

​

shown below are depictions of what the prop could be made out of (creation) and what those materials would be made to look like (aesthetics).
