OLD WORK - Boom Bombs

Another something from waaaay back in the archives, pulled from one of my old sketchbooks and gussied up with what's becoming a somewhat routine texture and line effect.

There's just something I love about the classic iron-ball-with-sputtering-fuse grenade, and it didn't take much to come up with an excuse to explore the design further. Basically the Boom Bomb is a sphere about the size of a softball with a ring at the top... yank the ring, which pulls the fuse out, and when it snaps off it ignites the fuse. You could adjust the time by having various lengths of fuse drawn out before you snap off the ring.

I'm still really fond of this design, and always looking for a good excuse to employ it again. I'm sure something will come up soon.
