Longbarrel Charachted concept

[Mr. Teatime]

I've been working on this charachter for ages. The guns are used at close range like bludgeons, weilded swordfight style and smashed into the other person, also longrange as a gun. I got the idea for the guns from my little brothers power trike handle which is like a pistol with a frikin long handle.

very nice pose and composition, I like the way he is weilding the guns. I think he looks a little on the short and squat side though. I think you should try to get a little crazier with the weapon design. It's generally a bad idea to hit someone with the barrel of a gun, might mess up your sights or bend the muzzle out of shape - try to come up with some designs that account for the need to use the barrel as a weapon and you'll get something more visually interesting and cool.

He does look a little short, doesn't he.. You're right, the hitting with a barrel of a gun would mess it up. How do you think I could design it so that he could still hit with the barrel and not screw up the gun?

What do you think a good reason to hit with the barrel would be? Maybe for nondeadly fights of honor?
