The Djinnquisitor: A Flintlock Pistol

For my Zbrush Hard Surface class we had to create an ornate antique weapon, this prompt was open-ended to allow us to create and have some freeform creativity on what we wanted to do. I was heavily influenced by Islamic art and as such I took inspiration from the Islamic world for patterns and design I took inspiration from Afghan Jezail Flintlocks and European style ones also, combining elements that I liked from both. I also wanted a mysticism element partially inspired by Sufiism and the mythical Djinn or Genie, as such I incorporated Genie lantern-inspired gemstones on it. Which is where I came up with the name. I enjoy both Warhammer and Destiny weapon designs so I took the name as a combination of the genie inspiration and those 2 weapons, which was the Inquisitor. The materials were created in substance painter through texture bashing existing ones and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 4. The weapon itself was created in Zbrush and the bladed element at the end of it is a Scimitar.
