IDW # 133 : Energy Gun

[Pixie Trick]

Topic: Energy Gun

Background: The Greystone Corp. has asked us here at CA.org to make up plans for TWO of their new line of weaponry with a working title of Energy Guns. You have two weeks to comply.

Their request came in three parts:

1) Each gun must fire a different energy. There are many types to choose from including:

- light - magnetic - elastic
-sound - kinetic - thermal
-gravitational - chemical - electrical....

...and so on.

2) In order to eliminate battle mistakes, each weapon must somehow clearly and visually state through design or imagery the energy used as ammo. However, they must both carry the Greystone Corp signature look (created by you) in some manner.

3) You must include a write up revealing the method in which you envision the weapon to work. Research into energies and how they function is appreciated.

NOTE: Although the title states gun, the weapon may be of any size, as long as it is physically movable by one person. Therefore, small cannons etc, are applicable. However, the shape must hold to the general butt end, hole end with trigger idea. If the entry misses or does not complete the brief, your entry will not be taken to poll.

Inspiration and Info:

Wikipedia- Energy
Energy forms and definitions
Highschool science/physics.


Brief:
1. Design and draw an Energy Gun.
2. Follow the outline given.
3. That's it... now draw!

Final entries must be posted in the final thread.
Deadline: Wednesday, August, 5
Rounds usually close around midnight GMT.

Now this is a brief you can sink your teeth into! Should be a good thread, nice one Pixie!

YES!!! I love the topic! im outta town all next week but thank God for the Two week round!
Pixie- I love how you make specific requirements (Geystone Corp signature, 2 weapons, Portable) I think it gives us limitations to stick to the brief but also go wild with ideas.

This could be quite a fun one, and two weeks too!

[Pixie Trick]

Haha... Everyone loves the gun/tank/robot/truck/airplane military type stuffs but if I did that every week I'd run out of topics. Thanks guys!

Sweet, thank you for the awesome topic!

[I-Z]

Done some initial biro sketches to loosen up for ideas, going to digital next!

[Cozmo]

This is my kind of contest.

I-Z, I like your sketches.

[APW]

Is it Geystone or Greystone?

[Pixie Trick]

My goodness, it seems every time I post there's a typo. tsk tsk Pixie. Yes, it's Greystone.

Brilliant! Perfect way to unwind after a massive couple of weeks work! Hope I have time to get this one done.

[I-Z]

Cheers Cozmo, I look forward to seeing everyone elses take on this brief!

The Swan design reminds me of the Zat gun from Stargate.

Well my family is having a garage sale and my basement just flooded so it will be a while for me to post my WIP!
Looking good I-Z!

So here's a couple of ideas I'm working with. The big one is a type of man-portable Gauss gun, which uses electromagnetic coils wrapped around the barrel to propel a projectile forward. The other is a pistol that fires electrically-charged bullets.
