I see Cyber (sans 'punk') but no steampunk. Since I know you tend to do great work, I am looking forward to seeing how you implement these things.

love it, though it is very cyber. awesome idea of the tassels, looks very upper class 17th century. but steam is about crude design, rust and iron...well thats how i see it. big, rusty, messy, complex iron.

To me steam punk is about the beautiful and elegant design of the that era (Victorian), push to its technological limits. I never think of its as messy it can be big and complex and some time rusty but never messy ... but thats just me I love this genre. Anyway am too busy to finish off this comp. I might have to call it quits.

is that sort of art (like warhammer and war machine, iron kingdoms) steampunk? i love that victorian style you described and did, but i am under the impression that steam punk is like the link, and the art i mentioned just then. correct me if i'm mistaken pls

Things in fiction that are steampunk: Bioshock (mostly, not all the magic crap though), Lyra's world in His Dark Materials (The northern lights and series by philip pullman), the awesome refridgerator of win in back to the future 3. These are all examples of steampunk, and are quite different in focus.

Also, anything set in the wild west with a mad scientist in it probably has steampunk in it. You get the idea.
