Military Grit


I'm very happy with how this piece turned out, but it looks like my supplies are limited and I am not sure when I will be able to make another. I do intend to if I can get my hands on more of the base pieces.
Keep an eye out for more to come!

Levels of Envy



This is a level on one side and on the other is perched an octopus curling its possessive tentacles around several decals in green. The color scheme is in gold for the metal pieces. The little gem decals are green to match the level's interior liquid.

Gear Pin Color Options

Blue

Green

Lavender

Lime

Purple

Mini Lapel Pins


I wanted to come up with something small and simple for those that put pins on their bags and such. I am pretty happy with how these came out.
The colors include:
Blue
Sky Blue
Red
Green
Lime

More options might come up but for now that it what is available.

These kind of remind me of steampunk materia...

Back from Anime Matsuri

Under normal circumstances Anime Matsuri has been a really awesome con in the past. I feel very sorry for those that had this years con be their first con because the hotel staff, location and timing was pretty bad.

However, the events held were enjoyable and the artists alley, although cramped, was stuffed with a whole bunch of awesome through out the halls. The dealers room had a great selection as well.

I do sincerely hope that Anime Matsuri returns to the Woodlands in 2012. The hotel, parking and timing of previous years was greatly missed.

Pictures to come of all my loot from this con!

Anime Matsuri is one of those cons that I reserve for myself to not vend at and instead just enjoy meeting all the artists. I go as a spender, not a vendor. :3 Lots of awesome loot this year!

Winged Cat Studios @ Anime Matsuri!


Steampunk outfit feeling a little too fresh? Too pristine?
(Your mechanic's outfit's lacking strategic smudges?)

You must stop by Winged Cat Studios at Anime Matsuri this weekend!
In addition to awesome goggle skills, this genius of grunge works her magic on all projects.
She's great to talk shop with too!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I am hyped up about Anime Matsuri this weekend 
and the Artist Alley is sounding like a great selection!

 \o.o\ Looking forward to a shot of my bag-o-loot after the con! /o.o/

New Pieces!

Help an Art Student: Steampunk Infographics

Just fill out a simple (and quick!) survey.
http://www.kwiksurveys.com/online-survey.php?surveyID=IOKDHI_4f10f386

Via Facebook:
Hello! I'm a sophomore illustration/graphic design student, and I'm doing a pretty cool series of infographics on steampunks and the steampunk subculture. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to spread a very short survey around, as I'll need as much information as I can get on this subculture.
I've also designed a series of steampunk-oriented icons, and if you're interested, I'll gladly give you full access to use them as you wish. :)
Thanks so much!
