I have always been a large fan of the steampunk genre despite how cliche it is so I was excited for this assignment.
I already knew I wanted to design a female character as I love the style and clothes. I looked up some typical accessories and fashions to give me something to go off, though I already have a lot in my mind as well as lots of my own steampunk style corsets and clothes to inspire me.
I really like the design in the middle so bought it into Photoshop to colour it in. Using layers on the multiply setting, I added some base colours. I tried to minimize the saturation and variety of colours as steampunk designs usually use similar shades.
I built up slowly and added texture to the materials and skin. I'm still getting used to Photoshop so this all took a very long time.
In a small sketchbook I drew a stereotypical character with a large dress, similar to the sketch on the left. I decided I wanted to try something a little different so designed another two in a more battle/rugged style.

Eventually I adjusted the eye as it looked wonky and changed up some inaccurate parts. I ran out of time at the end so some parts are very rough but overall I am happy with the design. I think I added the steampunk style without having to rely on cogs and gears and large dresses.
