Hello everyone...
I have been a long time lurker here on the RPF. And in that time i have never seen such a gigantic collection of talented artist build what million dollar Hollywood prop masters could only dream of!
I can only assume all of you have at one time in your childhood felt that the officially licensed toy of a famous movie property was grossly inaccurate from the film you would ware out that four head VHS VCR rewinding and pausing to get that perfect glimpse of. And for me Ghost busters was the pinnacle of those films. I'm embarrassed to say it took me a long time in my youth to even get a good idea of what the movie accurate proton guns looked like. Mostly because i was ten and i already had a competing idea of what the guns looked like from the animated series. But long years passed, i grew up... Allegedly.. And proceeded to put such obsessive details to bed,,, Until I met all of you. All of your excruciating attention to detail and passion for your art. And make no mistake, you are all artist! Inspired me to do something a littel new. Now I have seen a great number of you reproduce on an uncanny level of detail the original movie Ghostbuster Proton Packs. However, only a select few have tried to reproduce the guns from the cartoons. Since this was what i was raised on before i was old enough to watch the movies i couldn't help my self to try to reproduce my own version that tried to honor both the movies and the 80's cartoon.
This is the first time i have made anything i felt was worth sharing with all of you. But with that being said. I'm not thin skinned and this piece is far from finished. If it sucks, by all means feel free to tear into it. I'm a graphics designer by trade and the only way you get better is by embracing constructive criticism, I'm so thankful for any one who takes interest long enough to take a look. Thank you all.
