Hey guys,
I am more of a prop and environment artist so I choose to do several of the weapons from district 9 and if I get time I will do the mech.

here are some of my references.

I have more that I was able to find if you guys would like to see but for now here are just some.

one of my friends ask that I post how an unsmoothened version of that cylinder, with info on how Idid the back piece.

First i laid out the piece flat. Then used a bend. Smoothened by 1 and collapse mesh. Welded the symmetry copied version and mad a few minor adjustment and then smoothen to final result.
