Iron man

My entry for Three Muses Steampunk challenge is this armored adventurer. I always struggle with steampunk, I cannot get enough of looking at steampunk designs, but when I have to make one I find it extremely hard! Well, here goes - let me know what you think :)

Marylin McSteamy

The Three Muses challenge this week is to steampunk a famous person . . . . now once again steampunk got the better of me! I was all over the place - I started with Beethoven the futuristic pirate clutching what can only be described as a supercharged gramophone and then I went all botanical on Joan Collins, capturing her in a cloche with mechanical butterflies around her - really it was a mess :-) Eventually I stumbled upon this black and white image of the lovely miss Marilyn Monroe and as soon as I put the goggles on her face it reminded me of the movie "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow". So here is my poster for the imaginery Steampunk movie, Le Ballon - don't hold your breath,  it is never coming to a theatre near you!

Steampunkerie

I really like this definition of Steampunk  - "it is a retro-futuristic neo-Victorian sensibility that is being embraced by fiction, it is ornate and vibrant, and intricate - it believes that functional items can and should be beautiful" I created a magazine cover as my entry for the Three Muses steampunkerie challenge.

Steampunk

Oh my word, I stink at steampunk ;-). This was a real hard challenge - I need serious practice and study of  this genre!!! My entry for the steampunk challenge at Theme Thursday.
