So last week I shared with you
my Steampunked apartment. One of the things I shared was a poster with common Steampunk archetypes on it. A commenter asked if I could show closeups of each one, and I said sure! I then thought to myself, "What if I show each one, and then a real representation of each??" And I was like, "Dude, that's awesome."
So that's what I'm doing this week. Most of the people in these images are people I know from the Steampunk community. Also the pics of the poster are a bit fuzzy because . . . well no matter what I did to make them not so much, I couldn't, and I have many things to do today and I couldn't spend too much time making it perfect.
I should also add that the poster is courtesy of Florian Liedtke and is part of his online Steampunk role playing game:
Machina Obscura.
And now! The archetypes!

 |
| Toronto Steampunk Society's Amanda Stock and Dr. Holocaust |
 |
| Todd Clark and Ashley Kung |
 |
| Lloyd Penny and a lovely young lady I don't know. |
 |
| Adam Smith (Steampunk Canada) and Amanda Stock (again) (The Toronto Steampunk Society). |
|

There are also some other archetypes that I feel are missing from the poster. Two of which I would like to include:
The Lady and Gentleman:
 |
| Kenneth Shelley and Ashley Kung |
 |
| Just love this picture of Edith Chartier. |
And the Intellectual:

Great fun. I like. Now where are my corset, my goggles and my bicycle wheel?
Hey, thanks for giving proper credit :)
Happy to see that you like the illustrations so much. I even envy you for the poster... I do not have such a poster myself, although I have been thinking about it for quite a while.
I haven't had any feedback from the convention, though, or only a little.
Well, glad to see that my creations (I did not draw them, I commissioned them from werdandi.deviantart.com , just as info) are having an impact in the steampunk community!
Thanks :)

Florian - I'm all about giving proper credit.
And absolutely they are having an impact! The exhibit where the poster was . . . exhibited . . . was a marvelous success. It's a pity you couldn't have come to see it yourself!
At any rate, you are more than welcome, and thank you so much for stopping by! :)
