Description

Yay for larger canvases! Makes more details easier to add :D And prints easier to make! And...yeah it's a lot more work, but still!

Man though, this was a fun project, lol. I posted the sketch a while back, did most of the lineart last night (after a strawberry daiquiri and two glasses of rum and coke, so be impressed =P), the rest today, and ALL the coloring and shading today. It works better if I do all the shading in one sitting, I think it makes it a little more uniform.

I love the background! Steampunk cities are so gosh darn complicated, but I had fun with this one actually ^^ And I'm pretty proud of how the train looks too :D

AND OH MY GOSH I LOVE MY CUTIE PATOOTIE OCTOPUS! He's just sooo adorable and squishy and I want one! Every Disney movie needs it's animal sidekick after all XD

I've been doing a lot of brainstorming for the story too, and it's slowly coming together! I do believe I know this lovely lady's name too! Adelaide Serafim-Ward. Maybe. Not certain of it yet...we'll see if it sticks :P

This picture and description planted a seed in my mind that eventually grew into a full-fledge steampunk novel that I am writing.  So even though Whisperwings never got to write her steampunk story, it didn't completely die.  :)  My main character happens to look like one of her other characters...Rory, I believe her name is.  I'll probably dedicate the book to her...RIP Whisp...
