Filler art - where the artist really should have been working

Okay, okay, I know it is not a proper page, just more filler art, but be patient, the real page is well under way. I drew this at work when I really probably should have been doing something resembling work, so it is not as if I am taking time off of drawing.

Here are 3 unconnected pictures.
The first is a gentlemen's diving suit, complete with area to put your hat. Like many of the steampunk creations it is two parts pretty and one part functional. I like the bow-tie bolted on the front and the tails (really useful under water).

The second is a picture of a little gyrocopter. No real story behind this, but there may be a gyro or two in a future story.

The third is a mock up of one of Philipa's potential guns (I think we decided to call this one 'Gertrude') to go along with Mabel (the quad-barrelled pistol) and one of the Shelley Sisters (the little ankle pistol). In the comic I think I would exagerate things a little more with bigger sights and a longer barrel, but we shall see.

I would like to know if people want me to keep posting these sketches or to stick only with the comic pages. I can see both sides of the coin, but I would like to hear the general consensus.

Toodle pip and all that!
