[FINAL FANTASY 8] Squall's Gunblade (WIP)

Description

Another classic gunblade : Squall's gunblade from FF8 !

I spent quite some time on the handle, to make sure it's as much comfortable as I can make it ... well as much as the original design allowed me to, you can tell the game designers were not real weapons designers at all ... doesn't matter anyway cause that gunblade looks really cool ...

I just drew that ... lion with wings (?)
If anyone asks me to draw that thing again, I'll end up with the urge to kill someone ... oh wait ... do I need to draw it on the other side too ? Nooooooooooooo !!!

Next move will be to engrave that drawing with my dremel ^^ And I'll have to do THAT again on the other side

I wish I had some sort of printer that could print on any kind of surface ...

Yeah just now saw your work, it's perfect. Absolutely perfect. I love FFVIII passionately, and the gunblade is the most absurd and beautiful weapon in the fantasy series in my humble opinion. I wanted to make one, but yours is exactly what I'd like to make.

You've made the handle usable and fully accurate at the same time, and the proportions are finally made exquisitely balanced (as opposed to like, in game models, cut-scene models, figurines and statue models, on and on... I love your proportions, they're perfect)

So yep I'm very late, but I love your project! Take care and best wishes!
