Introducing the Coalition of Rather Unusual Denizens or C.R.U.D., for short.

We did a shoot a couple weekends ago with San Francisco Bay Area photographer Ed Pingol at a now-closed naval shipyard. We just got preview photos of our shoot and we thought we'd share with you fabulous folks.

discofish as Viscount Jarvis Kendrick, Ringmaster of the Cirque du Mal

twjudy as Captain Adline Astra of the H.M.S. Zephyr

Myself as Audioline Mixwell, Sonic Manipulator

kuronosho as Aerial Cloudstream, Rocketeer

ajmeow as Nai the Spiderlily, Assassin

kitkat_nap as Speaker Mable O'Shira, Girl Thursday

ziggybecket as Lord Obadiah Carton, Evil League of Evil Hopeful

aimeekitty as Madame Cardea, Time Traveler & Opener of Doors

mognetcentral as Diabolical Grand Duchess Elspeth Bustledomme

More photos here!

These are only the previews from the 2 hour shoot with had with this awesome photographer. I hope you enjoy the photos (and don't mind if we post again when we get the rest)! A couple of us will be attending the Steampunk Convention in California at the end of the month, maybe we'll see you there!

Cool photos

Steampunk Convention in California

Would love to go but they only have a weekend pass and well I can only be there on Saturday so not
shelling out 60 some odd dollars for a day only.

In my case, I have committed to showing up at friends' wedding. I wish I could go really bad. But, two friends are marrying each other.

Unbelievable. Literally speechless over the epic fun in these photographs. You all look exquisite! I especially love the one of the Grand Duchess with the group posing behind her.

I was inspired by the fact that she really put her weight on me when she stepped on my back in one of the photos. Bending over like that with steel bones in your bodice... not so fun. hahaha

I was originally going for C.R.U.D.D.Y. (Coalition of Rather Unusual Diabolical Denizens of Yore), but the rest of the crew didn't like it as much. I guess it is a little long, huh?

Jolly good show old chaps, rather spiffing plates produced, what? Most colourful and prodigious good fun, what? Impressive and diverse array of clothing and weaponry as I have seen in allmy owrldly travels, what?
