Inspiration

I read a line in a Cracked.com article referring to the Antikythera Mechanism as "part of a time machine that exploded on arrival" and I, remembering Hero's Engine, was struck by the idea of a Hellenistic Steampunk. The image of this girl formed in my mind, and I grabbed a ball-point pen and some scratch paper to doodle her. It, as sometimes happens, turned out better than expected, so I scanned and digitally gave it some flat colors. I quite like her, and her steam-powered cart (of which I will try to draw some more soon, so everyone can see the design of its engine).
