Draw Steampunk machines
Mon, Oct 2nd, 2006
Have you heard of Victorian inspired steam-powered mechanical robots? Well if you have, you probably heard of steampunk - it is a mix of old and new technologies and asks the question, “what would have it been like if the future hadn’t happened so quickly?” If you’re a fan of this genre you must visit Crabfu SteamWorks. There you can look at some slick steampunk toys and art. The toys he’s built look really unique and are quite creative. He’s also got a nice “how-to” for understanding and drawing steam machines. Cool stuff!

Oh, yeah!
I must mention the Polish steampunk comic “StaÅ› i Nel” and “Pierwsza brygada” (’First brigade’). It features characters for the most common school lectures living in the XIX/XX century (before the First World War) mixed in the real Polish history and real historical characters (e.g. PiÅ‚sudski - a man who gained independence for Poland). It was fakely announced as the strip from the discovered real old magazine from 1913. The found issues are incomplete, partially damaged (e.g. it starts from the 51st issue, previous ones are “lost”), what gives the amazing feeling… Here it is: http://republika.pl/steampunk/piechur/ - the links to the comics are on the “sticker” on the top left of the “magazine”, or look at this issue: http://republika.pl/steampunk/piechur/spotkanie2.html - nice?
