An alternate take on Connie

I wanted to draw something a little steampunk-y and I also wanted to take a stab at Connie from CONvergence so I thought I’d do both at the same time. I love the aesthetic of steampunk but generally, despise the genre because it’s nonsensical and is utterly ridiculous by any line of reasoning (really, steam-powered robots and spacecraft?). So, my take is a little more conventional and C-3P0-esque. It was a fun little exercise because I didn’t really think about her look beforehand. I quickly drew Connie in her regular guise and then steampunked (that sounds rather kinky and/or disgusting, depending on my mood) a design over the top of the sketch. Except her arms. I totally winged that crap from nothing.
