Cannon Sketch
Unfortunately during the early stages of the Maya process my screenshots were being saved to my clipboard rather than desktop...Sorry about the Apparition.
The Components.
From Right to Left...
Armour, Energy/Ammo Cube, Body, Barrel (made using a lot of booleans),
Above: Mini Turret (Now deceased)
Various Concepts.
Experimenting with armour shield like things...
I created a Physical Sun and Sky in the Mental Ray setup as i don't know enough about lighting in Maya to be able to do much more.
I felt the extra turret was a bit much although could have been a good telescope if flipped 180.
I decided the armour was a bit much and obstructed the view of the body
