Steampunk Jones

Description

A while ago we asked the fans what they wanted to see and someone suggest Steampunk Indiana Jones and we’re finally delivering on that promise. Here is my take on the classic archaeologist who just wants to put everything in a museum.

I have to admit that turning Indiana Jones into a steampunk character was rather difficult as his normal attire is actually pretty well fit for a steampunk explorer. Yes, he could use a few more mechanical arms and I’m sure his whip has a cool feature or two (magnetic self returning clip anyone? No more need to throw the rope). But I didn’t want to stray to far from the original character design. I instead opted for a more subtle look, adding some goggles, gloves, monicle and wicked chops. The original golden idle has been replaced with a bronze monkey, because monkeys are great and very steampunk.

While I’m not 100% happy with this I’m willing to call it a day simply because it works. Maybe when I have free time I’ll go crazy with a steampunk Jones design that has all sorts of crazy design upgrades. But until then, enjoy this beauty.

This piece took about 7 hours to make. All the lines were created using Adobe Illustrator CS5.5 with a touch/pressure sensitive Intuos 4 tablet. The color, texture and shading were done using Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 with a touch/pressure sensitive Intuos 4 tablet.
