Dunno why, but turn of the century contraptions are neat.
Things like Lugers, Mark 1 tanks, and of course triplanes. Post your favorite steam punk stuff, both real or fantasy. Here are mine. Real: Rolls Royce armored car Attached File Imaginery: Steam punk mech I drew: Attached File Bonus: Sabaton steam punk: AMV SABATON - Livgardet / Steamboy / |

I've always wanted to go to steampunk event. Never have though.

I never really collected any steampunk items, but like the look and style of it. I like the pipes and gear look of it. I like your illustration, that's good!

I really like the Steampunk stuff. But, I do Fir trade era, Cowboy action shooting (NCOWS), Renascence era, and dabble in ACW. The wife and bank would kill me if I added Steampunk.

I like 1900's stuff, just not gears and tchotchke crap glued to a hat.
This thing is awesome: 108-Year-Old GN Jap Is The Wildest Ride Of All |

Just Glue Some Gears On It (And Call It Steampunk) |

ARFCOM member DiscoJon (IIRC) did some really awesome steampunk photo shoots.

Hate Steampunk with a burning passion. The stories from the genre are always so broken and stretch the steampunk'esk technology to such ridiculous ends that is breaks the best suspension of disbelief you can bring to the stories. The artwork is mostly random gears and pipes epoxied to some antique/outfit and called steampunk. Steampunk always seems to be created by people that have never even looked at a high school physics or chemistry book let alone cracked open a college level engineering book.
Now cyberpunk on the other-hand is a great genre that, though it frequently ages poorly, still has created some great stories. Has anyone ever published a good steampunk novel/show? The only thing I have ever enjoyed from the genre is the original Wild Wild West TV series but I was a little kid, it would probably not be as good now as I remember it, if I re-watched it today. |

I went to an anniversary dinner in Los Gatos, CA a couple that attended dressed in steampunk. I was told that is how they roll. They were in their late 50s. It was sort of bizarre. First and only time exposed to it in real life.

More of a diesel punk/ Art Deco kind of guy myself.
Think Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow or The Rocketeer. Giant blimp aircraft carriers, tall skyscrapers, and an optimism for the future. |

This is a mix of monsters, the wild west, and steampunk, but it's cool.

OP, if you like Steampunk stuff and game, check out the Dishonored series of games.
All the Dishonored 2 game trailers. Dishonored 2 - All Trailers (2016) |

My wife drug me to a local college to see a steampunk version of the Tempest a few years back. I was not amused.
Kinda dorky to me but whatever floats your boat I guess. |
|
Dieselpunk is cooler IMO but it's not nearly as fleshed out as steampunk is and many just consider it a subsidiary (IE lugers, Mk1 tanks, that rolls royce, etc all fit the theme as well). Only real media type stuff that comes to mind is the sorta the Disney Atlantis movie (it's more of a steam/diesel hybrid tho) and Iron Harvest
Iron Harvest - Official Cinematic Trailer I think the main distinction is it's darker |

I wrote a steampunk novel in around 2011 or so but was never able to find a publisher for it (would have been the first in a series). The basic premise was to use tech as sort of a substitute for magic, and then I plugged in doppelgangers of rad inventors and just had them up their game or get tech out a little sooner than expected, all set amidst a second American Civil War around 1900 (California is cut off from the rest of the country in the center due to an ongoing Indian war and the south and north still hate each other). Tesla and Edison are building a bullet train together, Eugene Stoner and John Browning are a singular person, combat aircraft are in play, etc.
Really fun concept that I consider dusting off every now and again but never do. |

Thanks, I really appreciate that! Quoted: Publish it yourself. You can do it on amazon. Yeah, I know. I've got a couple of self-pubbed books on Amazon (along with my traditionally pubbed stuff). The issue with self-pubbing is I'm pretty shitty at selling books that way, and I just don't trust myself to give the editorial process the time it deserves. Not saying I won't, but it's a pretty long manuscript and it would be a lot of work for what would likely be very minimal sales. |

Steampunk is when women dress up in corsets and painted Nerf guns, right?

I love Steampunk stuff. This is a steampunky bolt action pen I made a bit back. The wood is from the Mk1 Tardis that the BBC build for the 1965 film, Doctor Who And The Daleks.

I kinda like the look of the stuff, I seen a wall clock one time (can't remember where)that I would love top put on my wall. i just remember it being expensive so I passed. |
