I came across this site with retro-styled space guns, and it inspired me.
WETA Rayguns
I've since been looking at all kinds of these guns, there is a plethora. I was surprised to find how much Han Solo's gun looks like Buck Roger's! Check it out for yourself.
I drew a few of my own of varying success so I'll post them and more as they come. They're fun to design and draw, the shapes are cool to play with. I was asked if I'm really into Sci-Fi because I'm drawing these guns, I had to say no, I'd much rather look at the Rocketeer than read about him. There's something about classic atomic style, there's nothing like it.
I picked up the core of this gun from an old drawing of a toy I had as a kid, I'd modernized the action figure and he needed a weapon so this was it. I added the cool fin and made it sleeker and longer. It's plain, but I'm liking this one.
All vector, drawn in Illustrator CS4.
