Artist's Comments
This piece was inspired by Pixelfink's drawing of a Steampunked Cybusman from the new Doctor Who. This was my take on the idea.
If you're wondering why it has all those little details that otherwise aren't necessary, any hardcore Doctor Who fan can quote from "Doomsday" where the Cybusmen pick at the Daleks for having no sense of elegance. So obviously, they see themselves as somewhat of a work of art, and if the brains who created the Cybusmen were from the Victorian times (which is the whole idea of steampunk), I'm sure they would have added little artistic details that were normal for that time. The other details (such as the rivets, vents, smokestacks, and gears) are functional, and are merely a result of this Cybusman being built from technology available back in the Victorian era (or a place like it). I tried to give it a Jules Verne/Nautilus feel to it, and I changed the EarPods into something that looks more like a Victorian wireless transmitter. So anyway...enjoy, and please give plenty of feedback!!
MUCH THANKS goes to
for the awesome backround!!

I'll admit Cybermen scare the shit out of me, moreso than the Daleks, or indeed any other Doctor Who villain. The cold, clinical and powerful mechanical frames that are the bleeding edge of technology are terrifying. Really, I have nightmares about them. Whilst everyone else was oggling the Cyberwoman in the Torchwood episode of the same name I was wondering where I put the railgun, because she scared the bejesus out of me.
Exchanging the psuedoscience power-source, mechanisms and admantium frame for clockwork, steam and plated brass and painted iron is pure love. They go from being an object of pure terror into something that could be beaten. Dump it in the lake and it's screwed. Armour pierceing ammo? Bullets can stop these buggers, Doctor. Hell, break out the electromagnet and dump it in the Thames.
All in all, I love steampunk, and whilst Cybermen do terrify me, I do have a fascination with them. This marries the two superbly, and I'd dearly love to see this go from merely being a drawing into something more...
Hmm. Cheap Cybermen figures...

Selidor then walked out with a signature slanted grin.... and mildly wondered to himself when the rigor mortis would set in.
A good job of making something both recognizable yet different.
