Steampunk Chuck!


Gothy typyes, as well as other alternative music lovers and various game geeks, are fairly familiur with the term "Steampunk." If not, go have a read about it.

Anyway, with the new swing in the scene going to the land of airship pirates and clockwork robots, there been a whole explosion of music and costuming; not to mention comics like Girl Genius, who are enjoying a resurgence in popularity.

I, myself, have been bitten by the Steampunk just recently; having bought my first Steampunk album, by Abney Park, as well as attending the new, and only, Steampunk club out here, Clockwork.

Last night, in a random feat of inspiration - and because I couldn'y find a decent karaoke joint in town - I whipped out this little number; me, pulling open my shirt to reveal my clockwork steam punkness.

Try not to be too harsh; it's a rough idea I jotted down in my sketch book. I wanted to work out the logistics of such an undertaking before I do a nice painted piece. All in all, I think it came out pretty good, for a sketch, and can't wait to do a finished one.
