I've got the next couple already lined up, but I'd already thought that the robot would be a good one, any ideas for a scenario? Has the robot discovered something untoward lurking in a service duct somewhere perhaps?
Do you have that at a bigger res? (Doesn't really matter if not, cos I do repaint it, but it might make things easier).

I can find a bigger one. Well he is a prototype robot that belongs to the GPO, the general post office... and is some sort of maintenance robot.... So something along those lines might be good? I also have a post apocalyptic postman as well if you like Well duh. I was providing a picture for possible manipulation... Sorry bro. I have the dumb. It's fine. We all get stricken with the dumb eventually. |

John Strangeway, aka Steampunk Boba Fett hired me to create a more Victorian/Edwardian era craft for him in a painted portrait. This (below) is the result. The original is 32×24 inches, painted in acrylic on canvas  More images (closeups and details) here: http://www.mykeamend.com/new/2011/03/07/slave-1881/ |

greetings one and all. this is my first time posting to this forum and i am enjoying all the great work. i wanted to share some pieces i did. these were are done in ink with washes of different tea flavors. i would love to hear what you all think as i am new to the world of steampunk but have become very inspired by all the creativity inherent in the genre  here is a link to my blog where you can see the rest. http://willdraw4fun.blogspot.com/2010/12/super-big-micro-art.htmlcheers! |

Lovely (and Tumbld) On a technical note - do you worry that the tea adds to the acidity of the final work? How much, if at all, do you feel this sort of staining effect archival quality? |

thanks! love the boba fett by the way! i am unsure of the lasting effects of tea use it was an experiment and i was surprised to see how the hues differed between teas. i drew the ink lines first and then stained the watercolor paper. it did lighten the color of the ink lines a bit but the distressing was my friend in this case. i then went in with watercolor for the rest of the details. time will tell.... |

Ahoy DBP, Just in time for another one. Cowperthwaite and Darkshines involved in nefarious doings. I'm sure it's in a worthy cause though    These are absolutely stunning...this one especially so. |

I love both of these, The Bobba Fett Airship is genius (Servant One perhaps . @BK421 I LOVE that character and really like the painting with tea idea, I can't think of a more steampunk medium. I stained paper with tea back in my student days, (Not quite the same thing), but I've lost track of those pieces so I can't report back I'm afraid. It will age differently, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, it may well improve with age. Also I have to say I like your painting style, you have a very assured and light touch with the paint. |
