My first reaction is to, of course, comment that making her a red head only amplifies the sexiness factor for me- and as a woman, to see an independent, tough, do-it-herself woman is very sexy. I can definitely see myself wanting to be like this woman. (and :devMizz-d: certainly helps with that ) Steampunk has been around for decades but its making a nice surge to the fore again (which I like). I think that this piece does a nice job of integrating the elements of the Steampunk genre without compromising your personal style, and that is no small task for most people. I think the detailing of the gears is really well thought out and to carry the one design from her tattoo into the background helps to keep some cohesion. The same goes for the use of coloring to tie the Victorian filigree into it all. The details through out make this piece really work, even the fish skeleton detail of the pants.

All of this makes for a fun, playful propaganda poster from you neighborhood Steam aero-jet engineer.
