Steampunk
Airship Worker

The inspiration for this piece was a Steampunk novel I read last year called Leviathan by Scott Westerfield. The main character was a middy on a giant steam-powered airship. For this project I tried to put myself in the position of the character, standing in the hull of the airship in a middy's outfit.
It was a challenge to find copper gears and a copper background that worked right in the situation. Masking the edges of the steam just right was also difficult. I had to use the cloning stamp tool for the first time in order to fill in some of the edges on the jacket and hat. |
