I’m doing some 3D work and level design for an indie game. Don’t have much to show yet, but I figure I’ll post something anyway.

This is the concept sketch I was given — it is a ballista, but the firing mechanism is replaced with an arm-like construction.

After I met with the 2D artist again, we made some slight modifications to the design — added gears and changed how it moved.

I still need to clean it up and get the bowstring animated.
