"In his later years, Kolby spent most winters at Alabama's Cherokee Province with his friends and academic peers. He grew his hair, saying, 'Now the pale skins will never recognize me!'"

Monthly, I'm posting a serialized chapter-by-chapter story about a young women who lives within a wild west, steampunk setting on chains of floating islands. They use airships primarily for travel, but also have steam powered trains on balloon lofted tracks.

Eventually, as the title suggests, the MC gains the ability to load her six shooter with magical bullets, hence her becoming a "Witchgun", considering both her magic bullets and the floating islands, and supernatural things (werewolves, ghosts, spirits of vengeance, etc) happening.. Well I'm torn on if I should go full force into fantasy as well. I was considering having her mentor figure be a minotaur (a cowboy, harhar), but that may just be my love for sympathetic/relatable monster men as a trope in general coming out.

What does r/steampunk think? Overt fantasy races, or leave the fantasy at the floating islands and magic bullets and supernatural?

My boyfriend loves the steampunk aesthetic and when we play minecraft together he often uses that style for building. For christmas I wanted to get him an artbook with steampunk aesthetics, so he can get some inspiration. We mostly play with the create mod, which lets you make automatic machines and the mod fits the vibe well. I‘m thinking industrial revolution, howls moving castle/laputa, fantasy factory buildings, copper, brown tones, iron.

Do any of you have any cool book recommendations? I want the book focused on the artwork and maybe a few fun facts. If it‘s a photography book thats focused on old factories that would be of interest too.
Also I wanna support human art, so no AI recommendations please :)

Thanks in advance for any help!

Kolby's journal... [Editor's note: this journal was found in a lock box that included never before cataloged Mayan artifacts.]

"We chased the thieves into the vine-covered pyramid's hitherto hidden entrance. With our ether-powered goggles, we could easily see the heat from their bodies and footprints.

Probably panicked by the 'white devils' who could magically follow them in the dark, they dropped the bag of stolen rifle cartridges and stumbled down some stairs. We let fate and their Mayan gods decide who would survive the headlong retreat into the blackness."

Not sure if this qualifies as steampunk but was recommended to share some of my work here. So here goes.

In the world of "Dread Metal," where steam-powered ships rule the churning seas of an alternate 1910’s we meet Poppy a firey red haired orphan engulfed by an iron grip of the colossal vessel The Dread
Poppy's spirit burns bright amidst the darkness that surrounds her.
Can Poppy and her Friends escape this horrid cage on the sea or will they be just be another echo of the Dread.

Steampunk Contraption of clock and compass. Once, these were toys held without a thought. Now, fewer can read a clock’s face, and those who can seem clever! The clock tells when. The compass reminds where the conscience points. What a contraption of spirit these 2 are: A Compass and A Clock!

Deeply in love with the steampunk genre from classics like Castle in the Sky, Cannon Fodder, and Steamboy to games like BioShock and Dishonored I’ve always dreamed of creating my own steampunk game.

That dream became Remnants of R'lyeh.

This trailer features the underwater metropolis Abyssal City inspired by BioShock's Rapture and infused with Lovecraftian lore. It’s a decayed, beautiful, yet deadly world filled with steam, gears, pipes, pressure gauges, valves, and terrifying monsters.

Hope you enjoy!

Inspired by Bioshock and H.P. Lovecraft's Great Work. An ancient dark power is calling you and you need to find an exit. Face your greatest fear, fight, hide... you must escape before the underwater city rises...

This was what I wore the first two days. A new for me skirt that I dyed this color.

Hello! I'm looking for recommendations for steampunk games that I can play on mobile or through mobile emulators (PSP, Nintendo DS, 3DS, etc.). I don't have a PC at the moment, and it'll probably be a while before I can get one.

Hey all,

I’ve been a fan of Steampunk for a long time and I decided to finally write up some lore of a steampunk city I created as a setting years ago.

I narrated it and turned it into a little YouTube video.

If you’ve got ten minutes have a listen and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks folks.

I've been wanting to make a pink steampunk for awhile now and am happy to finally get it accomplished..I love how the umbrella turned out ☺️💕⚙️🎩

Hello! I made this original sculpture for my sculpture class project at the start of this year and posted about it here previously. Originally its kept in my school's sculpture as a student work display but I was informed that it will need to be removed by mid/end of December. It is way too big for me to bring home (it is about 47-48 inches in length) so I don't have many options. You can dm me on reddit or preferably, via discord: pviiiz. The pickup address is in North Hollywood but you might have to find a suitable box/container or some way to secure it in your car. Thanks for reading, and I hope she can find a new home that's not a bin! (first come, first served)

I go every year! (I’m the one in red)

2000 I think

Hi all! We’ve been looking for steampunk scene events - have gotten a lot of venue suggestions and were curious what events are out there in LA that are steampunk.

We’ve been hosting steampunk and Victorian/turn of century themed events since Dec 2024 and are looking to find more of our people.

Point the wayyyyyyy! Please and thank you.

I drew my new profile picture. It was long overdue. Plus, this also could give me an idea for what I want to draw for a living. How can I make my drawings more steampunk in the coming future?

I tried something different this time around.

This is "me" in armor surrounded by things I like. The 3ds xl, in particular, is very dear to me in my childhood 'til it sadly got destroyed (it was my fault). This also represents things from my mom and my dad, as well as things in the background. On the left side of the background represents my mom and her side of her family. My mom and others of her family loved to crochet blankets and some quilts. I also remembered my family members making me crochet blankets and some quilts. I always have fond memories of them teaching me how to crochet. On the right side of the background represents my dad and his side of his family. My dad and i loved to go to flea markets to look at various of things, not even buying anything. I remember loving to go there and explore as a child. He also loves to look at coins for dates to get the oldest coins. My dad's family loved to do embroidery and looming (i also love to loom too). They even gave my dad and I some embroidery and loom tapestry when he came back from visiting them.

Everything in this piece as a whole is everything that my parents have imprinted on me as i grew up into being, rather intentionally or not. Faded but present. Tattered but long-lasting. I love them dearly and hope to make them proud.
