Round 2 of The Steampunk Pageant; Pastimes.

I think I may suffer points-wise as she's not heavily Steampunk looking, there being no cogs or corsets visible. I am rebelling against the bandwagony perception that Steampunk is, in it's entirety, hot ladies in Victoriana and a few machine parts thrown in! (I have however caved fully to the profusion of prosthetic limbs. She lost it while investigating sightings of a ravenous giant alligator in the sewers!) Being a cryptozoologist, why would she even have gears and all that about her person? Puzzling skulls (it's a manticore!), photographs of questionable authenticity and books is what she'd have! And so she has.

Also, people should not tell me to use props. Evidently I have trouble stopping.

My base. Or, indeed, largely no base, because the legs were going all over the place and in the end I said "Hell with it, they're only going to be covered up with a skirt so screw this." My props too.

ETA: Did not suffer points-wise in the end, and won first place in round 2 :D Booyah!

Wow! This doll has so much atmosphere! I love all the props too. You're so good at making them.

Pfft, there are degrees of steampunk. This is more classy Victorian-y steampunk, which happens to be the kind I like best.

That skull is badass. All the props are awesome, but the skull in particular is awesome.

She's awesome! I love the bizarre skull and the microscope. And I really want a pair of her shoes.

And she's perfectly Steamy the way she is! More people need to realize that Steampunk is about not gluing random gears on everything. People who do that tend to have no clue what Steampunk actually is.

Pretty =) This is my favorite brand of steampunk as well -- sophisticated, but still edgy. The props totally pwn.

Oh dear god, so beautiful.
My favurite part is the microscope, for some reason. It's so... Cool, and actually very steampunk-y. I don't think you're gonna suffer points at all!
Amazing work <3
