I haven’t been on Tumblr in ages! This is almost embarrassing! But I would like to take a minute to shamelessly advertise for my blog, Seriously, College? It’s a new project of mine that I hope will do well. We’ll see. :) Again, sorry for the shameless advertising, but if you’re a college student, I think you can relate.
THis is another lovely steampunk lady from Kat Bret Photography.
This is an interesting video. I post it because it is steampunk-esque. It takes a Victorian society amps up the mechanized aspect and makes it incredibly technologically advanced. The story is also very heartbreaking and beautiful.
Here is the heart of steampunk. It is a rise in steam powered technology. Of course, when a person thinks back to the Victorian era, the most prominent example of steam technology is the steam engine. This grand depiction equals the vast possibilities that the steampunk genre explores.
Also, I feel like I’ve seen this from something before, so if it comes from a show or from a book, please tell me. It’s oddly familiar.
This is mildly surprising. Upon my searches, I never expected to find a Sarah Palin Steampunk comic…..
This is absolutely amazing. Sometimes, the brave soul will blend modern technology with the style and ideas of Steampunk. Sometimes it’s a flop. However, this steampunk computer organ is an extreme success.
Any G.I. Joe fans out there? Yes, even toys can be steampunked. Kudos to the person who put the effort into these figures. Also, if you click through to the website, there are plenty of other examples to see.
This is an imposing, and also, very impressive weapon. If you click on the picture, it will take you to a great website with many other gun options.
Are you a fan of steampunk? I hope so, because that's the focus of this blog. My name is Niek and I enjoy collecting pictures, stories, and ideas related to steam punk. While I may repost other things that tickle my fancy, for the most part, this is largely a portal of steampunky nerddom.
To quickly define steampunk, it is a term that was coined in the 80's as a specific sub-genre of science fiction. The idea is that the stories and characters exist in a world where steam is still prevalent in technology. Often times, steampunk realities are envisioned as a more advanced Victorian London.
This image can be tweaked, of course, but the fashions often resembled that of the nineteenth century. The clothing tends to reflect the profession of the character, such as an aviator, a navigator, a scientist, a mechanic, a militaristic solider, and so on so forth. It is common to see cogs, gears, exposed brass, leather, corsets or underbusts, gloves, watches, large belts and buckles, top hats and intricate goggles incorporated in the clothing. (Admittedly, when putting together costumes, it is quite possible to over-incorporate things.)
Also, jewelry and technology can be steampunked. The easiest way is to incorporate the brass look. Also, adding an element of antiquity goes a long way when revamping jewelry and technology.
Lastly, steampunk weapons are on the rise. One of the most common techniques is to take Nerf Guns and decorate them. The most popular Nerf Model is the Maverick.
These elements are often combined to tell stories, or to simply create costumes and characters. However, the style is often brought into decorations and design and it is not unheard of to run across steampunk homes.
