Girls just want to have fun

We're going to close our Ladies' Week here at gnomepunk with an image that is one of my personal favorites:

So, this one is throwing a lot at us. We have our classic bewhiskered and be-goggled sciencepunk gnome riding a mechanical contraption that seems to be a cross between a velociraptor and an ostrich. But the crowning touch is not The Old Man, but the Girl Mechanic. We know she's a mechanic because of the wrench and pouch attached to her belt, and because of her gauntlets. She probably needed to make some last-minute adjustments to the Mechano-Ostriraptor, but grandpa jumped on board and fired it up before she could finish. She gamely grabbed on as he took off, and is now hanging there shouting imprecations and warnings for him to slow down while she holds on for dear life and wishes she hadn't taken her goggles off.

That's my kind of gnomepunk.

These gnomes are concept art from Jason Chan that was posted on CGHUB; he has lost more great stuff at Jason Chan Art.
