Multiculturalism for Steampunk is starting up a weekly art challenge, and it looks promising. SO EXCITED. I’ve had a bunch of ideas for non-Western steampunk outfits floating around in my head, and it’s nice actually having a weekly deadline to motivate me to finish some of them.

This is pretty subtle in its steampunkery (read: no extranneous metal bits), but I was just trying to bring in a few western/Victorian elements to traditional Indian clothing- legomuttoned sleeves, the double breasted, collared choli, and adapting the churidar into buttoned spats.

…Also a sweet hat.

Did I mention I love this artist?

Final assignment for Sam Nielson’s class over at Schoolism!  I kinda went nuts with this one and changed quite a bit to suit my needs, but what the hell- when you want to paint the Southwest, you paint the goddamn Southwest.

God I love her art.

Shoomlah is an artist that keeps on amazing me. Not only are the character design (you should see the Disney Princesses) beautiful, but the landscapes as well?? Breathtaking!
