    Steampunk – Monday Artday

    Ok, this is so un-me. Creating an illo like this is way off my forte but I like the challenge and always open to trying out other styles. Submitted this in MAD. The challenge is ‘Steampunk’. Steampunk is a fashion style, a tech-mod style, and a fiction (usually sci-fi) style in which technology re-emerges as though everything runs on steam, mechanics (cogs and gears), and fashion and design is stuck in the Victorian style. Examples are League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Jules Verne, The Golden Compass, Steamboy, etc.

    I redesigned Sillof’s version of Obi Wan Kenobi. Paddings and armor are basically his. Made them smaller and more feminine to suit the female character. I added a choker (haha looks a bit goth now), riveted bangles, lacy belt and riveted skirt. And yeah, the body posture is Lara Croft’s, changed the gun to suit overall steampunk theme.
