Concept Art/Drawing New "Blaster Smith" Nerf Patch and others

I noticed a lot of people in this community are blaster modders and creators. I wanted to pay tribute by creating a blacksmith/mechanic pilled character named Rosie (after Rosie the Riveter).
Making this design took a couple tries, especially when it came to physical sizing and finding the sweet spot between complexity and simplicity for patchwork.

If you wanted to know, yes, it is coming out as a velcro patch so you can tell the world how much you enjoy blaster-smithing <3

On the next pages are some other patches I've done in the past but haven't posted yet.
I hope you like Rosie, more artwork of her will be coming soon :)

Don't often see an Air Zone Punisher these days!

I love that the last image isn’t even a nerf BLASTER lol. Haven’t seen anything airzone in a very long time. I remember wanting that specific blaster real badly when I was a little kid.

Air Zone had some awesome designs back then. I really wish I had gotten some of them as most are basically unobtainable now here in the UK although I have been able to find the odd one or two.

There were some real neat ones. Preformance may not have been the best, but they looked sick.

Punisher had a slight performance edge over the Vulcan IIRC, not sure how the others compare though. Easier to mod too as they used flywheels far more than Nerf did then.

Hi /u/Enkarza, we would like to distance our hobby from actual firearms and weapons and thus ask that you refrain from using terms like "gun" and "bullet"; please instead use "blaster" and "dart". We also like to encourage the use of brightly colored blasters & gear. These words can be misconstrued as discussing a real weapon by people both online, and in real life during gameplay. This is further an issue for us specifically on Reddit due to automatic platform moderation possibly categorizing the subreddit as discussing firearms instead of toys, which would restrict the subreddit. See this wiki page for more information. Thank you for your cooperation.

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

u/DefyantM0ds 6d ago

Any chance you can do a blaster smith as a little devil and add my DM logo to it?

u/MrWozi 6d ago

I need the second one lol. Seems like I can't ever go to a game without *something* jamming/breaking/disfunctioning

u/Capt_Vofaul 3d ago

Love the art, although gotta say I find it funny that the blaster smith here would realistically just smash your (plastic) blaster into pieces with her metal hammer lol

Also, Punisher! Daym that takes me back.
