I am absolutely in love with the aesthetic of steampunk. The look and the ideas behind it absolutely fascinate me. I've yet to delve into the literature that caused it (it's on my ever growing to-do list) but in the meantime I can't help but share some things.

A steampunk ipod design:

A functioning laptop:

Wtf why can't my computer be this cool?

A mouse...made with real mouse bones:

An etch-a-sketch?!

And I wouldn't be me if I didn't include Steampunk Star Wars. Tell me this shit isn't cool:



I've been thinking today about what a Steampunk botanist would dress like and carry.

I love this. I have been doodling some steampunk fashions because they seem to be really popular on my fashion game site. This is just the inspiration I needed.

I like Steampunk stuff as well.
Also, if you like steampunk, you should love Bioshock

I have a whole folder semi-dedicated to steampunk-y and victorian style stuff. I'm building it up for when I start developing a game with a similar aesthetic.

That is awesome.

Yeah, I don't know about the stripes, but maybe after I finish poking around for stuff I like and the things I think I'd need, I'll have Alei sketch it out. Big Grin Those stockings wouldn't last a minute in the woods, btw, but I am all over some corset action and some goofy ass goggles with magnifiers and all that.

DeviantArt is such an awesome resource for clothing and jewelry and designs.

Summer, you could wear striped leggings and get the same effect without the tearing action.

That's true, but I'm really just not a fan of stripes.

I like the steampunk aesthetic, but it makes me angry when someone is "sticking cogs" to something makes it steampunk.

Gluing cogs to stuff =/= steampunk

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?

Shredded or bow-tied leggings would look good.
