8.5″x11″ dip pen and ink wash on watercolor paper
Steampunk artwork, created by first drawing with dip pen and ink, and then shading it using a wash of the same ink.
In a post-apocalyptic desert, a neo-bedouin warrior scouts the horizon in the early afternoon heat.

The actual drawing is in dark brown ink, but I scanned it in black and white. Overall I like this rendition a lot more than the previous attempt. The only detail that’s bugging me are her eyes, which are a little too close-set.

8.5″x11″ watercolor paper
Today I have been working on a drawing featuring a post-apocalyptic neo-bedouin steampunk woman. At least, that’s my main inspiration personally. I could see her in any near-eastern or multicultural steampunk world. Her outfit is inspired by Renaissance faire tribal fusion belly dance wear, with the addition of a few re-purposed machine parts, moccasins, Native American style warrior feathers, and a really big knife.
The line art version scan is black and white, but the real drawing is in dark brown ink, applied with a dip pen nib.
