Steampunk Tuesday - Archetypal Costumes!

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!





Rapper Professor Elemental and Me




Author J.M. Frey and DJ Th'Elf



(I'm expanding this to Mad Scientist because Chemist is awfully specific)

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:




The Steampunk Scholar Mike Perschon and lady of Steampunk Canada Lee Ann Farruga
