Dragonfly P.T. - Spitfire PT Nerf War Concept

I posted new youtube video of  a slide show of a Nerf War concept I was working on. The basic concept was to develop a Nerf game center like Laser Tag center, but cooler. I started working on this when my boys were younger and really into Nerf guns.   It actually grew out of a desire to find another area to be creative in after leaving animation and moving East. I either lost interest as my kids out grew their "Nerf gun" phase and/or the basic concepts didn't did hold up well to closer examination. In any case, I did do some nice tech drawings of Nerf gun design concepts and equipment, so why waste them.

New Nerf Blaster from Hasbro

The good guys at Nerf Haven have unveiled a new Nerf Blaster from Harbro. Here's a peek. It seems it will be released next spring.

There's some debate about the size, below is my estimate in comparison to the LongShot.




Just for fun, I'll be presenting my own thoughts on the future of "Nerf War", soon. Here's the cover (not final) preview image:

I'm still editing the text. I hope to have it done soon. It should make for some lively "nerd" debate on NerfHaven. Be sure to join in.

Killzone 2 (E3 -2007) Game Flipz Preview - Part 3

Here another preview of the Killzone 2 (E3 - 2007). It' almost finish, I'm getting it printed tomorrow and should have a movie posted by wednesday. I had computer problem, I desktop program refused to batch convert my pages to PDF, so I had to do all 202 page one by one, that was a drag what normally takes 1O minutes, took three or so hours. But, it was still worth the effort. Here's a few more preview images.

Here's cover including the spine art.


Here's the bridge pages (last page on the first side (odd pages), and the first even page you when you flip the book over).


Actually the comic pages in the Preview Part 2 are no longer in the book, I had to revise the action, so that dialogue scene is now in the flipping action.

Here's an added extra I couldn't resist adding to the flip book. You might remember a post I did a while back calling for more Nerf or laser tag tie-in with FPS games, well, as I posted Halo is getting a Laser tag set this fall. In any case here my fake ad for Killzone Nerf dart blaster. The Nerf longshot is a real product, already. It just needs a cooler color scheme.



Soon, one of these toy companies, or softair BB, or even paintball marker makers will realize there's an market waiting to be tapped big time, for the tie-in items for older kids 12+. But, hell what do I know, I'm trying to sell paper flip books in a pocket, micro, wireless, video world. Well, you don't need a media player with a flip book.

Enjoy.

Halo LaserTag Set?

On the Gametrailer.com forum I started a thread calling for Nerf and LaserTag video game tie-ins. Some people just didn't get it, so here's a dummy mockup. As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words".

Here's a product combo that should be a no-brainer for the Bungie, game developer of Halo, and Hasbro, the toy company. (Click on Image to Enlarge)
