Wow... I'm really impressed.
If i wasn't supposed to be writing a geological field report right now, i'd take a proper look, but from my quick glance, fantastic.
I'll take a proper look in a day or so, and post again :)

My initial reaction is certainly one of very pleasant surprise, I shall have to check on it properly tomorrow.

Also, Captain Octavius, are you in fact by any chance a masque for the mysterious and elusive Captain Chazwick of Rotterdam?

It's not exactly steampunk per se. Visually a bit more early Victorian (the high tech nations), but still philosophically steampunk-esque.

I'd be happy to take it, but the survey isn't there...

The survey ended Halloween. Thanks anyway.

It's on the BBC iplayer right now, if anyone's interested :)

I remember seeing this before I even knew what steampunk was.

Am I the only one that seeing the station it reminds me of the train station in the latest wolfenstein game?

I quite like the look of this.

Is that the pope riding it?

Ooh, I'd love to see a cleaned up version of this...

Thankees for your kind words folks. Nope, its not the Pope, they're Cloudpreists. I'll post a scan of their concept sketches in due course.

Fantastic design - Please post more!
Can we have any more details regarding the cloudpriests?

Certainly! However, not for a few days I'm afraid as I'm away from all internet access as of...one hour from now until about 14:00, Sunday (British GMT).

However, I promise to upload information and sketches regarding the preists on my return.

Sorry folks, scanners been broken for a while so for now, I'll post this, a quick 5min sketch I did for the great Dr.Steel himself. He liked it so y'know, it can't be that bad. Will post Sky-Preist designs tomorrow, on my honour.

Sooo...
I see tomorrow has come and gone...
No chance of any Sky-priests, then?

Posted withing the next 30 mins gentlemen. Guaranteed. (Not that my guarantee stands for much right now...ack.)

I'd just like to say though...having drawn these well over a year ago now, my art skills have vastly improved. Any changes, alterations or re-draws, just ask. ^_^ Sorry it took so long...

Yeah, I know...its more retro-futurism than entirely steampunk, but...

Them robits ain't done nothing for not nonebody

I've always liked the looks of Got Steam.
Got-steam.com
They'll make you a set of Airship documentaion, which looks damn awesome to me.

I find the picture and the post number to be very appropriate. :)

Haha!
awesome picture and post number win.

What? Last Exile is about as steampunk as it gets. Sure, the Guild is more like an ancient fantasy civilization, but that's a pretty common theme.

>>1319

oop's yeah, your right. I get last exile confused with a similar movie.

Also, anymore non-amine movies/tv. I've already seen firefly, serenity, and mutant chronicles. I'm also going to suggest the series Fringe. It's not really steampunk. But if you like mad scientists, weird contraptions, and unreal science, you might like it.

Firefly?
Steampunk?
...
More western inspired sci-fi than anything else.
All of the sci fi is based on actual future tech, it's just on the frontiers that the tech level decreases, but isn't that understandable?
Awesome yea, but steampunk? i'd have to say no.

>>1321

I find that statement to be a bit murky. first of all Victorian style and western style are incredibly close. as a matter of fact I would go so far to say victorian style is to Europe what western style is to America. On top of that Steam punk falls under the blanket description of science fiction. My point being; taking away cogwheels and adding spaceflight doesn't exclude firefly or Serenity from being considered stempunkish.

The problem is that the Alliance technology is pretty much standard scifi, it's just the outer worlds that have to build their stuff from the scraps they find.

>>1324

And isn't that part of the essence of steampunk, a DIY mentality in the face of ever advancing technological change. Besides Most of the storyline takes place in the outer worlds. Anyway, when all is said and done it's a good series and a damn good movie.

firefly is in NO way steampunk. OP is a retard.

Memories: Cannon Fodder is an amazing short steampunk anime movie. Go watch it, if only for the visuals.

Walter Dillerchin you must have the some "perfect" idea of steampunk in your head... and very few suggestions would ever measure up to your ideals.... and i'm fine with that. But to resort to childish name calling with regards to nothing more than ones opinion is a bit underclass.

I believe " Basil Dindergold" is pick'n up what i'm throw'n down, well done.

Great Elder Things!
How could i forget!?
Wormtooth Nation.
Just google it or something.
It's a free online web series hosted on Vimeo that's moderately loosly based on Midsummer Night's Dream.
excellent, especially as i didn't have to pay for it :)
