Description This is my steampunk raygun. My persona is Dr. Rhea Flynne, inventor and explorer, crew-member upon an airship which is yet to be named. Which she designed and helped build.

The gun (in theory/hypothetically) is able to release a beam of energy that can stun, injure, or kill depending on the frequency. She needs a gun because airship pirates frequently attack the ship due to it's valuable cargo (usually relating to Rhea's inventions or the Captain's riches). They did in fact take a hostage from the pirates who does not give out her real name and prefers to go by Rex.

The gun itself took me three days to make. First I took a regular plastic water gun and spray painted it to give it texture and a metallic feel. Then, I painted it with acrylics. It made it's debut at the Marin Shakespeare performance of The Tempest where I sat in the front row and was dubbed "favorite audience member" by most of the cast.

i HATE conforming with trends and that crap
its just so fake
and those people who say 'oh god, this top is ugly as hell! and its supposed to be designer?'
then, the next day some star wears it and they instantly NEED THAT DAMN TOP

I personally believe in good old fashioned taste. If something is ugly it's ugly and if it's nice it's nice. End of story.
