Artist's Comments

"A chunky pistol-style firearm, looking a little like a nailgun. It's powered by pressurised steam, so there should be a small vent in the side for the steam to escape from. There also needs to be a broad trapdoor in the top of the gun where the nail ammunition is tipped when the device is reloaded. The rest I leave entirely up to you."

If I cut my hair,
If I change my clothes,
Will you notice me?
If I bite my lip,
If I say hello,
Will you notice me?
Whats it gonna take for you to see
I want you to notice me,
I'll get you notice me.

Interesting design. The steam powered shot is a nice touch. Ive always like the Magnet approach myself ^ ^

the only reason this is steam powered is due to request... obviously a steam engine that size would be way impractical... but steampunk is basically sci-fi in the past!

Exactly ;) the only reason it works at all in the setting I have in mind for it is due to a relaxing of the usual laws of physics. In reality, a firearm based on steam power would take a long time to build up the pressure required to fire, would only toss the nail 10 to 20 metres in a curving trajectory, and would be a danger to the user due to the large amount of superheated steam expelled every time it was fired. Thank goodness fiction doesn't rely on facts too heavily! :D

p.s. great work! I'll be posting your payment tomorrow morning, should be with you by the middle of next week (allowing for bank holidays)

it would be funny to see it used tho! not only would you have to keep shells on you but a few canteens of water and a backpack of coal!

Heh. Looks like an old thompson from WWII mixed with a squirtgun. Kind of funny. Looks good, though. Nice clean inking.
