Here is the more familiar looking version of the AK-47, the sort you'd see in war films and just about any video-game with shooting in it. With a more rough and battleworn texture set applied along with the original wooden furniture, this gun has a story or two to tell.
I was asked by a client to build a modular assault rifle for an in-engine weapon building system, aiming to create a vast range of weapon parts that worked together to create a highly customisable weapon system. Using a base version of the AK-47, I created a variety of components that would fit into one of 4 variations but could all be used together in the customisation system. For the sake of showcasing the variations, I have split the project between the older, classic themed parts seen here, and some modern variations, which can be seen in another album here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/58lnqg
