Dead Man's Hand Final

2 loves

Modelled a revolver and in doing some research came across the story of The Dead Man's Hand, where Wild Bill Hickok was assassinated while playing poker and the story goes he was holding 2 pair of black aves and eights. I found the story interesting and disturbing at the cowardly assassination, hence having your gun ready when you get that hand. 

Fixed revolver, had too much roughness added. Must have fell asleep while mouse pointer on the roughness. Thanks Omar for pointing that out. It looks a little less waxy.

    That looks awesome, Brad!
    Not perfect, but awesome!

  • Cool story, cool title, cool render. The only feedback for me is the gun, it looks so clean and metal shinny. It could use some grunge and dust and grime.

      I agree totally, I actually am still working on the revolver and just did the scene as it was on my mind. I do have minor grunge and scratches, which will show better on the upcoming renders I had planned to originally do for just the gun. It's not great, I see so much incredible work on here and elsewhere, that I hesitate to post anything. It's been a crazy couple of years that prevented me from working on Blender where I feel kind of lost, trying to get back to where I left off. But thanks for the fedback.
