Week 27-(June 29-5th of July) Steampunk avatar week

[Ichneumon]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to announce:

Steampunk Avatar Week
June 29 till July 5

It's time for all of us to acknowledge who we really are, steam engine loving Si-Fi people. It's time to turn our avatars steampunk!

You can post here to discuss it and show of your new avatars and ask for people to draw them for you.

It would be nice if everybody could wait till the actual week before using them though.

(Also, please be aware of xkcd-week in week 25)

[DamnedIrishman]

ask for people to draw them for you.


I hereby request some kind of steam-driven Panda from some eminent avateur. Or perhaps a top hat, walking cane and monocle would suffice. I don't know...

[Bisected8]

How can I make my avatar more steampunkish? I could change the goggles, but apart from that I can't think of anything else.

[KingGolem]

I hereby request some kind of steam-driven Panda from some eminent avateur. Or perhaps a top hat, walking cane and monocle would suffice. I don't know...

DamnedIrishman, I accept your request. I will send the completed avatar to you later today.

[DamnedIrishman]

DamnedIrishman, I accept your request. I will send the completed avatar to you later today.

Well, that was an unexpectedly quick response. My gratuitous thanks, mysterious stanger!

[KingGolem]

No problem. After all, you were the first one to request an avatar. I just sent it to you by a private message.

[Emperor Ing]

Good to see someone was more decisive than I am. :smalltongue:
Must...resist...urge...

[Xallace]

I whole-heartedly support the idea of steampunk week and will show said support during the appropriate period!
That said, could anyone steampunk mein avatar? I'm not sure how you could steampunk an abjurer wizard; possibly with a Fantastical Protectional Sphere Generator?

[KingGolem]

I'll do this one too. However, I have to go somewhere in just a little while, so I probably won't get it done until tomorrow. While I am still willing to do avatars, I am but one man. All you other skill-havers get out here and join in the fight for Steampunk Week!

[Emperor Ing]

Now all i gotta do is figure out how to steampunk a tarrasque...
Sorry guys, I wont be taking requests.

[Ichneumon]

The first image that comes to my mind when I hear "steampunk tarrasque" is the pokemon blastoise...

Clockwork tarrasque!!! It's from an WOTC updated adventure. Something Mountain.

[Fri]

actually it's already rather steampunk. The other side of steampunk is victorian england!

[Emperor Ing]

As simple (and awesome) as that sounds, I feel I should do what I do best
Draw something unnecessarily complicated and extremely over-the-top. :smallsmile:

[VampireRot]

Meh. I have no idea how I'm going to do this. Mostly because I only have a basic grasp of what Steakpunk actually is. :smallannoyed:

[Emperor Ing]

Do you know what Cyberpunk is?
If yes, take that except replace it with brass victorian steam technology.
If no...this picture gives you a general idea. (http://api.ning.com/files/h94kHYgPmI5J8SPgcPQryszy8udmWVFFWbw8pL9jo5i62mN4sn oyhf-6lTZ-5hzrxLcV0z64XULileA1vNDPIl4JrMbWgb4u/cyberpunk_symphony.jpg)

That's more cyber punk than steam punk

Steam punk is cool victorian looking gadgets with lots of cogs.

That laptop is amazing.

[Emperor Ing]

Ya I know, I was just giving him the general idea of what Cyberpunk is so he gets a better idea what Steampunk is.

And those are cool btw. :smallwink:

[MrEdwardNigma]

Not sure how one could make a steampunk version of my avatar, but I sure would appreciate it if someone did.

[VampireRot]

Yeah, I have no clue how to do this. So I'm going to ask someone else! I need an avatarist to make a Steampunk Rot. Please?

[Trizap]

steampunk Trizap won't be hard- I'm already a mad scientist, I just need to replace the white labcoat and icefire with some victorian coat and a floating gear like I said before, perhaps I should add a monocle too?

[VampireRot]

Monocle, definetly.

Save the avatar for the week!
:smallsmile:

[Dogmantra]

How to steampunk my Half-orc jedi?

Hmmm...
Top hat, coat of tails, monocle, and lightsabre with cogs?

[DamnedIrishman]

How to steampunk my Half-orc jedi?

Hmmm...
Top hat, coat of tails, monocle, and lightsabre with cogs?

Lightrapier, sir.

[Trizap]

How to steampunk my Half-orc jedi?

Hmmm...
Top hat, coat of tails, monocle, and lightsabre with cogs?

no, no no, turn lightsaber into light-rapier or a light cutlass, you know one of those colonial era swords used by naval officers that look like rapiers or foils.

edit: sarnath'd. someone posted light-rapier right before me

[Dogmantra]

That, good sirs, is quite possibly the best idea ever.

Light Rapier. Awesome.

[Szilard]

I think I once drew Elan as Luke Skywalker with a lightrapier...

[Icewalker]

I'm hoping to get an avatar of my steampunk character, Kairos, engineer for The Archaeopteryx.

Whitish hair, pretty short, straight. Thick bronze goggles, one eye covered by a metal plate, the other with a darkened lens, with a gear on the side of the goggles.

The body and clothing is pretty open steampunkish, although I think it'd be best with a belt-sash across his chest covered in tools, and a screwdriver in hand as well as a few more along his waist. Vest, buttons, buckles, whatever, just general steampunk feel: bronze. Probably some oil smears, considering.

[Wraithy]

For some reason, I now want to see a steampunk version of the Engineer from TF2 :smallconfused:

[Dogmantra]

Aaaaaand done!
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll78/De_ressurect/steampunkhalforcnerd.png
He's a little smaller than my current avi, since the hat extends him upwards.
Still, comments?

Edit:This means I'm free to do steampunk for others. Priority given to those who currently have one of my avatars.

[Emperor Ing]

For some reason, I now want to see a steampunk version of the Engineer from TF2 :smallconfused:

Verily, it would be my pleasure if thoust could construct a dispenser in this specific location old chum.

:smalltongue:

[MethosH]

Save the avatar for the week!
:smallsmile:

Ohhhhh! its JUNE 29... lol

[Gourtox]

Could anyone do a steampunk version of my avvie?

EDIT: Preferablely with a chainaxe if you can.

[Trizap]

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk25/Trizap/steampunkTrizap-1.png

heres steampunk Trizap!

[CrimsonAngel]

I have a great idea!!! :smallbiggrin:

[Trizap]

tell us then.

[CrimsonAngel]

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/g3811.png

[Ceric]

Well don't change your avatar yet! Wait another month.

Now how do you steampunk-inize a wizard robe? I might just change it into a dress.

[Icewalker]

Yeah, wait for later to put up your avatars!

Actually, if I can get a good Kairos avatar, I think I'd use it long-term. Freaking awesome character.

[Kris on a Stick]

That, good sirs, is quite possibly the best idea ever.

Light Rapier. Awesome.

No sir, you need to get into the language of the thing. Not light rapier, phlogistonated rapier. Or at least ionised rapier. Or what about Rapier phlogistonising device? :smalltongue:

Edit: Photic Rapier!!!

Also, missed a whole page. >.<

[GrlumpTheElder]

I'm anoyed. It is really hard to get all the detail I want in a 120 x 120 avatar!!!

[Tamburlaine]

Now how do you steampunk-inize a wizard robe? I might just change it into a dress.
Labcoat. Can steam powered technology be 'sufficiently advanced'?

[Xallace]

Labcoat. Can steam powered technology be 'sufficiently advanced'?

If not labcoat then modified frock coat. We're punk, right? Tear it up a little, wear it open. Ooh, and with belts of alchemical liquids underneath! Then of course we'll need a pair of goggles just above the brim of the hat.

Sufficiently advanced? As in, "indistinguishable from magic?" Steam-powered Tenser's Floating Disk. Ride it. Awesome.

Verily, it would be my pleasure if thoust could construct a dispenser in this specific location old chum.

Chaps, your assistance please! It is my impression that a gentleman of dubious affiliation is nullifying the workings of my multi-range high-velocity projectilating sentinel!

[Emperor Ing]

I are finished.

http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/ll246/EmperorIng/steampunktarrie-1.png

Questions? Comments? Critique?

[Ichneumon]

I like it, although those are actually not the Tarasque's eyes, but its ears. Its "nosetrils" are its actual eyes.

[Emperor Ing]

I allow myself some artistic liberties :smalltongue:

[Ichneumon]

I allow myself some artistic liberties :smalltongue:

Of course, although I know it is "wrong", I still always see the ears as eyes.

[Dogmantra]

I like it, but don't use it yet!
We've got another month before steampunk week.

[Emperor Ing]

Whats the point? :smalltongue:
1) Its ridiculously awesome
2) people set their avatars to the specific week they're participating in up to a month before it starts ALL the time
3) I might use this after the week is over. :smallcool:

[Dogmantra]

But xkcd week is before!
At least use an xkcd atar!

[Emperor Ing]

But xkcd week is before!
At least use an xkcd atar!

I will not. I've always personally seen that thing as a colossally overrated piece of crap anyway. :smallyuk:

[Bisected8]

I will not. I've always personally seen that thing as a colossally overrated piece of crap anyway. :smallyuk:

Wow, what a well reasoned and carefully explained argument.

[Dogmantra]

I will not. I've always personally seen that thing as a colossally overrated piece of crap anyway. :smallyuk:

Any friendship we had anulled!

[onasuma]

xkcd isnt the best webcomic in the world. Its pretty average to be honest. What it is is reliable and it does stand out on the internet as no one else really does a similar comic of any note i.e. one with appaling art.

So yeah, I think xkcd is fine. Its shining feature is reliablity.

[Emperor Ing]

I always found it to be, at it's very best, :smallsigh:
at it's worst, it's :smallmad:

You don't have to chasticize me because I never found that webcomic to stimulate my funny bone.

Anyways, yeah. Skrew the other week, i'm using this avatar until I feel like taking it down. :smallcool:

[MethosH]

You guys should really stop arguing with the Randomizer... his actions are totally random. :smalltongue:

[Dogmantra]

Rand: you do realise I was joking, yes? I like xkcd, but not to the point of anulling friendships over it. I just joke about anulling them :smallwink:

[Darkcomet]

...I just realized this week on my birthday.

Whee. Now I'm pretty much obliged to participate in this one.

*wonders if he will find someone to do a steampunk version of his avatar*

*looks at ion cannon*

...

Unlikely.

[onasuma]

Dibs please.

[xPANCAKEx]

how would someone draw a steampunk pancake anyway?

THATS RIGHT! IM THROWING DOWN THE GAUNTLET!

[Bisected8]

I'm chastising you for calling something crap without any constructive criticsm when you know a significant amout of people who like it will read your comment. At best it's sheer stupidity, at worst it's trolling.

[Eldrys]

I like Xkcd because they make Firefly references, als o how do you make a steampunk hound archon?


Gahh, why does it keep happening quintuplet ninja.

[Dogmantra]

how would someone draw a steampunk pancake anyway?
Cooking on a giant cog?

[Xallace]

how would someone draw a steampunk pancake anyway?

Not the pancake, but the incredibly large and convoluted fantastical breakfast making device.

[Darkcomet]

Dibs please.

If that was for mine, well...

You may want this for a better basis on the cannon.

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x280/kriskatarn/IonCannon.png

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Dude, it'd be ridiculously fun and rather easy to take your Ion Cannon and convert it into a jolly good Clockwork Ionization Projector. If I had talent.

This one... I can't do on my own. I'll have to request a Fullbladder with a Steampunk Arm and clockwork rocket boots sticking out of a Victorian Era fancy-style suit or something.

Or a Steampunked Shockwave. That'd be fun.

[Kris on a Stick]

Now, to get started on my ridiculously complicated steam-punk art. Because really, why stop with an avatar? :smallsmile:
...
*sobs*

[Rutskarn]

Already begun my Meisterwork.

Well, okay, it's just very good.

Well, it will be.

Probably.

I guess.

[Emperor Ing]

I'm chastising you for calling something crap without any constructive criticsm when you know a significant amout of people who like it will read your comment. At best it's sheer stupidity, at worst it's trolling.

*facepalm* am I not allowed to like or not like something now? :smallannoyed:

You want constructive criticism? Fine.
The comics I have read always lack a punchline. I try reading a comic, waiting for the inevitible punchline, only to be dissapointed by the comic ending, being too generalized about a person's reaction, or the ending feels strongly artificial.

You're allowed to like or dislike whatever you please, as long as you're polite about it.

[Groundhog]

Time to create my mad steampunk scientist, woohoo!

Oh, and think you for giving us not-quite-as-talented avatarists (like me) ample time to make our new avvies.

[Ichneumon]

Oh, and think you for giving us not-quite-as-talented avatarists (like me) ample time to make our new avvies.

Your welcome.

[Ninja Chocobo]

Your welcome.

No! It's my welcome! You can't have it!

[Morty]

Looks cool. If any artist has some spare time, I'd be grateful for a steampunk version of my avatar, which would include:
- Some vaguely mechanical contraption instead of the crossbow
- A huge wrench instead of the pickaxe
- An apron with lots of screwdrivers, wrenches and mechanical parts
- Googles
- Oil stains here and there
- Demented grin

[Dirk Kris]

I'm up for it if someone wants to draw an avatar for me. I have exactly ZERO talent, so...yeah, I'll leave it up to the creativity of whomever wants to do it.

[banjo1985]

I will be participating, though heck knows when I'll have any time to do an avatar for this...oh well, I'll start out with the best intentions.

[Tamburlaine]

I'm probably going to draw the avatar myself, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to steampunkicise a big blue naked guy...

[DamnedIrishman]

I'm probably going to draw the avatar myself, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to steampunkicise a big blue naked guy...

Cog symbol on his forehead instead of a hydrogen atom?

[CurlyKitGirl]

Too easy sadly.
I have Curly Heterodyne.
End of.
Unless Bath has time to make a new one. Nonetheless, a Girl Genius avatar automatically wins when it comes to steampunk. I think so at least.

[Dihan]

I may make myself a steampunk version of the OotS version of my current avatar... I'm not too knowledgeable on the genre so what are the steampunk clichés?

[CurlyKitGirl]

Goggles, gadgets and gears.
And look at Cassie's pictures of real life steampunk stuff. Pretty cliched stuff the detail is.
I wonder if Jibar'll be around for that week, he's steampunk mad. Didn't he buy/make/covet for himself a proper pair of steampunk goggles?
I'm sure he mentioned it somewhere.

[DamnedIrishman]

You must really hate Monty Python...

[Emperor Ing]

You must really hate Monty Python...

As much as you want that to be true...:smalltongue:

[Thanatos 51-50]

That's IT.

I've already asked 'ruki-kun for a cyberpunk avatar.

[onasuma]

Dude, it'd be ridiculously fun and rather easy to take your Ion Cannon and convert it into a jolly good Clockwork Ionization Projector.

That'd be why I called it.

Comet: I have a load of exams this week, but after friday, Ill get it done.

[EvilDMMk3]

If I could have one, I would be very happy. Seeing as I am I allready a cyborg it should be a fairly similar idea really.

[banjo1985]

I'll give my right arm to anyone who will do a Steampunk'd Elan for me :smallsmile:

...seriously, I have the cleaver and everything :smallamused:

[Nevrmore]

Wow, what a well reasoned and carefully explained argument.
Wow, what a kneejerk, whiny reaction from a fan of the work Randomizer insulted that shows he doesn't know how to just ignore adverse but equally valid opinions that aren't being directed towards him.

Oh, sorry, was I supposed to be sarcastic, there?

[Phase]

Hey, check it out, I made one too!

http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii173/Guanlong93/PHASE/Steamoon.png

[GrlumpTheElder]

Wow. That's all I have to say. Well except another Wow. Wow.

Oh, sorry, was I supposed to be sarcastic, there?

Putting "in my opinion" or "I believe" in a statement doesn't make it immune from criticism. He could easily have said "I do not personally like it" rather than "It's an over-rated piece of crap", knowing full well there were fans of the webcomic on the board. While it's a valid opinion, the manner in which it was presented is a classic case of a) Thoughtless complaining or b) Trolling.

[Emperor Ing]

You do realize in your overblowing on an issue that should have been dealt with at least a page ago, you're doing a bit of trolling yourself? At least I had the decency to limit myself to one post. :smallsigh:

[Mauve Shirt]

I have absolutely no idea how to steampunk my avatar, so this is me requesting one.

[Eldrys]

are avatarists accepting requests here?

[Reinholdt]

Oh hey. I'm already prepared for this week.

Hooray for Neoseph7. :smallcool:

[Eldrys]

I think a steampunked hound archon would be really weird so could someone do an akk bronze mechanical grey hound, seeming alert.

[EvilDMMk3]

Please? Anyone?

[Hazkali]

Updated my avatar, heraldry for a Martian Expeditionary Force. Originally the bar at the bottom said "First Martian Fusiliers" as well as the date, but couldn't be read when shrunk. Which sort of clouds the meaning of it... ho hum.

[GrlumpTheElder]

Please? Anyone?

I'll do this for you!

[Cheesegear]

Anyone got any ideas on how I can Steampunkify Cheese that already has a cog?

...What does Steam-Powered Cheese look like?

AWESOMAGE!

[Klose_the_Sith]

I do like the idea of this week, but keep in mind that I'll change to this avatar and probably not change back. Current intention is to keep mutating the marine until we achieve an unholy union of the nth degree.

So, yeah ...

Any takers? :smallwink:

[TwoBitWriter]

Does anyone think they can make a steampunk avvie based on my current one?

I'm thinking maybe he could have a typewriter and sport a more radical hairstyle, and a monocle! I want a monocle! :smalltongue:

[Recaiden]

Well, I've made mine:
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm316/RockShade/CleonSteampunk.png

[Headless_Ninja]

I would love, love, love to be a part of this. What a brilliant idea! Steampunk for the win. If any avatar artist would be so kind as to steampunk-ise my avi (or not; while lovely, it may be difficult to distinctively steampunk-ise and I'm sure Bisected8 wouldn't mind my having a completely unrelated one for a week, if that's easier) I would be so, so grateful. But if not, I'd still love to have a Steampunk-themed chat.
Incidentally, is there any chance we could have a different thread for the XKCD-yay/XKCD-nay conversation? It does seem to be invoking some rather impassioned responses that may be better played out in their own environment.

[The Bushranger]

Hmm.

Can anybody make a steampunk'd BR?

God, people are so quick to yell "Troll!" nowadays when anybody presents a disagreeable opinion in anything other than "Well, sir, I don't mean to tread on your completely logical beliefs, but..."

Of course it's opinion when he says it's an over-rated piece of crap. He didn't bust out charts and graphs to prove it as scientific fact. Face it, you're overreacting to a harmless proclomation of his feelings on a subject as if it were a personal insult towards you, which makes you look like the troll.

[Pyrian]

God, people are so quick to yell "Troll!" nowadays...
...which makes you look like the troll.Apparently so! :smallbiggrin:

[Keris]

Face it, you're overreacting to a harmless proclomation of his feelings on a subject as if it were a personal insult towards you, which makes you look like the troll.

Your argument is illogical. You claim that people are quick to accuse others on trolling, and then go on to argue that it is his opinion. Bisected's last post stated that was a valid opinion, but the manner of presentation was trolling. You seem to have accepted this, but continue your argument, closing by accusing Bisected of trolling. Your behaviour seems to be deliberately antagonistic, and bordering on outright trolling yourself.

Randomizer's post could well be trolling. This is a board which Randomizer is fully aware is fond of xkcd, the upcoming avatar week being evidence of this. Randomizer then posted his opinion that is was a "colossally overrated piece of crap", which could be seen to be primarily to incite angry responses. That would be trolling.

Of course, whether it is trolling or not is for a moderator to decide, not us. And discussion of xkcd is off topic for this thread, so let's just stick to talking about the steampunk week.

Does anyone think they can make a steampunk avvie based on my current one?

I'll give these ones a go, but if anyone else wants to try them, go ahead.

[Emperor Ing]

:facepalm: Holy crap Keris, is all you do go around threads and find someone to argue against? :smallbiggrin:

You have my appreciation and thanks! :smallbiggrin:

Thoughts?

[Emperor Ing]

I've been thinking about it for a bit, and then it hit me.

Critique: It doesn't look very steampunkey.

That's possible as I'm not sure how steampunk crow-like clockwerk should look without redundant amount of cogwheels on it, I mean, it's supposed to fly somehow.....the wings are drawn as elbow blades on purpose though....

It's not the wings, it's well...everything. It seems too sleek to me.
And you don't have to have COG wheels, some good Steampunk accessories include:
A Furnace (keep in mind they aren't small)
Pipes
Whistles
Cog wheels (:smalltongue:)
Bolts
Pistons
Gauges

Got my own avi up now.

120x120
http://i496.photobucket.com/albums/rr327/Pathae/DracoSteamsmall.png

I really wanted to add on the fangs, mostly cuz she's a werewolf, and therefore has them. I like how this one turned out, but the avi size doesn't work so well. It's harder to see the detail work put into it.

How could I steam punk my football player... I ahve some ideas but I want to be different! Different but unifrom. Discuss! :smalltongue:.

Like my jersey could be chain and the number could be some wahcky runes or something. Explosive ones.

I'm getting really lazy so I figured rather then making a standard avatar I'll do something like this

[Szilard]

My current attempt:
http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd233/SzilardG/steampunkorc.png
Any critique, or should I go to the Rate the Avatar thread?

@^: I just saw your post after I posted this. The idea is so similar to my avatar. Conspiracy.:smalltongue:

[Crimmy]

Okay, I have already made a steampunk for meself, but...
As usual, I like to have something to choose from.

So, could anyone try and make a Mechamancer, steampunk style?

Also, the only thing that's really necessary is that it has a crimson theme to it.

Please?
Will anybody be kind enough to help this young Crimson?

[SinisterPenguin]

I finally got some ideas.

http://i659.photobucket.com/albums/uu320/SinisterPenguin/steampunksp.png

Any thoughts?

[Szilard]

Looks good, though maybe you should have kept the top hat. :smalltongue:

[OverdrivePrime]

I love the idea of Steampunk week, but I'm having trouble trying to brew up a Steampunk look for my avatar. Greatsword & Dragonscale armor translates into what? A generic bladed wrench and a suit of cogs? Not very original.

Any suggestions?

[Recaiden]

A monocle, a scale patterned dark colored vest, a complex assemblage of pistons and gears with a blade as the weapon.

[OverdrivePrime]

A monocle, a scale patterned dark colored vest, a complex assemblage of pistons and gears with a blade as the weapon. Hmm... that's a cool idea. I've always wanted to randomly wear a monocle. And if I had the gearblade hooked up to a backpack... Interesting! :smallamused:

[Nevrmore]

Apparently so! :smallbiggrin:
Shot myself in the foot with that one, didn't I?

Your argument is illogical. You claim that people are quick to accuse others on trolling, and then go on to argue that it is his opinion. Bisected's last post stated that was a valid opinion, but the manner of presentation was trolling. You seem to have accepted this, but continue your argument, closing by accusing Bisected of trolling. Your behaviour seems to be deliberately antagonistic, and bordering on outright trolling yourself.
Contradictions in the opening and closing of my post aside, the point of the post was to say that it doesn't matter if Bisected relents that it's Randomizer's opinion and only his "presentation" was wrong, the fact that he blew things so out of porportion in the first place is the problem. Revealing that it's a valid opinion is a moot point.

Randomizer's post could well be trolling. This is a board which Randomizer is fully aware is fond of xkcd, the upcoming avatar week being evidence of this.
Speculation doesn't justify unwarranted action.

Randomizer then posted his opinion that is was a "colossally overrated piece of crap", which could be seen to be primarily to incite angry responses. That would be trolling.
No way, really? That's what trolling is?

Yeah, don't talk down to me. I know what Bisected's motivation for getting all bent out of shape was, but he still got bent out of shape.

Of course, whether it is trolling or not is for a moderator to decide, not us. And discussion of xkcd is off topic for this thread, so let's just stick to talking about the steampunk week.
No.

I would like to request not a steampunk version of my current avatar, but an avatar of a steampunk character of mine.

Kairos, engineer of Three Bullet Sign. Somewhat pale, young, short white hair. Heavy bronze goggles, one eye is a solid bronze plate riveted in place, the other is a darkly tinted lens.

Clothing can be anything steampunkish that is rather casual, perhaps a vest, plus a belt/sash across his chest covered in tools, and several additional screwdrivers around his waist and one in hand. Grease/oil stains likely as well.

[The Bushranger]

Hmm.

In the 120px sized one, your internal gears are too small and lose detail, and so it just looks like you're bleeding horseradish and honey. While that isn't necessarily a bad thing, I don't know that you're going for that concept. Aside from that, it's absolutely FLIPPIN' AWESOME. :smalleek:

[Quincunx]

<@lilValdar> that would probably be an unwise thing to say at a steampunk wedding, on account of your ladie's corset being pressurized sufficiently to drive 3 feet of titanium whalebone through you
<@lilValdar> and your would-be father in law is on an airship right then. . .and you dont know what else he has up there with him
<@lilValdar> (hint: it might be spiky)
<@lilValdar> (and launchable)
<@Zadown> almost everything is launchable once yer high enough
<@Zadown> as long as ye want to launch it downwards
. . .
<@Tzimfemme> would it have those little flaring bits over the hips loaded with poison darts?
<@lilValdar> a corset _is_ a weapon, all you need is to take a deep breath xD
<@Zadown> I always thought it was the eyes that shot darts - looks-that-can-kill and all that ;)
<@Yar-No> yeah corsets are weapons of mass distraction!
<@Yar-No> The heaving bust of a comely lady, with silk white skin and..
<@Tzimfemme> . . .an atomizer loaded with blindness powder tucked into the cleavage, activated by attempting to take a deep breath?
. . .

I can work with this. Oh yes indeedy.

OK, while a steampunk version of my current avatar would be interesting, that's not what I want.

What I want is, essentially, a head-shot of me, only with a view through where my forehead should be revealing my brain to be made of clockwork.
For reference, I look like this: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k63/Razor-Sharp_H7/2008_05290001.jpg

I'm in. I'm thinking googles, Victorian, backpack-generator powered guitar, and gold a modular synth in the background. Those things look steampunk without any help. =D

I'm in. Partially because I forgot XKCD-itar week, and also because I do enjoy me some steampunk, Bruce Sterling specifically. Although how I'm gonna steampunkize my avvy is beyond me.

Oh, the majesty of the steam-skarn! It.. its beautiful yet terrifying!

[Cheesegear]

I still can't think of how to Steampunkify an Avatar that already has a Gear in it.

[J.B. Ganning]

Steampunk has always been about needless accessories. You could add more gears, make the cheese metal/bronze, add bolts to the cheese, have a cheesework robot, etc.

I couldn't help myself... I didn't want to like Inkscape, but it's just so much quicker and cleaner than Paint... Thanks for the compliment, too :smallwink:

[Serpentine]

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

I've had mine for ages. I think I'll go back to Anglo-Saxon after the 5th.

[Dogmantra]

I thought that I might as well put mine up now.

Huzzah!

[Morty]

Well, I put my steampunk avatar on. Fear it!

[Yarram]

Steampunking is fun. I think I could to more though.

EDIT: I have.

[DamnedIrishman]

Only a few more hours to go...

Might as well get changed now.

[DamnedIrishman]

happy steampunk avatar week everyone!


Hah, three hours late and I'm still the first. Win!

[Kris on a Stick]

Well, there are those little things called 'timezones'...

On another note, it's been steampunk week for 9 hours here, and I still haven't made my avatar. Damn you EaW!!!!
