While I have been doodling weapons since before I even knew what Wacom was, the Kadote was a first in how thorough the process was in producing it.
It was meant to be the Terran Federation's standard-issue rifle for its federal military forces, therefore, I wanted the weapon to look futuristic and stylised, but still somewhat recognisable as a Earthly design. Rails would be included for customisation and accessories, and a hard case would be included to serve as both protection of the rifle's innards as well as the possibility of custom paint and liveries.
A test render for the hybrid sight, achieved through Blender Cycles. It was mostly an exploration of the engine and never really got finalised or formally published. The render was done early, thus the rather bare materials used.
