Description

Drawing of SOOT SPARROW, the character that I created and played in the Thomas Dolby online Alternate Reality Game "The Floating City".

She is standing in front of her tug, the "Miss Sakamoto", a reference to the lyrics of Thomas Dolby's popular hit song "She Blinded Me With Science".

The Floating City game is ©Thomas Dolby

I really love this piece - not just for the character design (which is wonderful - the "grease, sweat and ginger" line below fits perfectly!), but for the environment behind her as well.  You really nailed that open-air-yet-slightly-grimy feel of a working seaport.  The two elements are blended together wonderfully.
Out of curiosity, are you planning on entering this in :iconblackartsociety: 's "Fantasy Firsts" contest?  There is a shortage of dark-skinned steampunkers (or is the Miss Sakamoto a diesel?) in the world, and I think this pic would fit in wonderfully.
