Prettiest and ugliest guns?
Practicality and performance aside for a moment, which modern(ish) firearms would you say have the most aesthetically pleasing design and which do you think are pretty damn ugly to look at?
As an illustrator, I've painted/drawn a variety of different weapons in my time am curious to know what you fine folks' thoughts are...

Well if we're talking modern(ish) designs than I am partial to the P08 Luger and the Mauser C/96 Broomhandle. I also like the Mk VI Webley revolver which is strangely appealing to my eyes much like the way an English bulldog is.
The GLOCK design is very practical, but it isn't a very handsome design. Form follows function I guess.

Hi Point pistols and carbines are pretty ugly, but at least with the carbine you can dress is up to look like a Beretta CX4.
1911's are very pretty. Stainless Colt SAA's are quite pretty too.

I think almost everyone can agree that the Beretta 92 series is insanely beautiful, or at least that it has one of the most eyegrabbing forms imaginable with all of it's lines and cuts. The same can be said for the Hi-Power, which I refer to as "the 1911s hot cousin".
Yes, I own both of these, but still, they are both very outstanding guns in terms of aesthetics. As far as ugly goes, one gun I can't warm up to is the Chiappa Rhino. It defies what revolvers have been for the last hundred years in terms of both function and aesthetics.
