Silver Mirrors is the sequel to A.A. Aguirre’s Bronze Gods. The Apparatus Infernum series blends some steampunk concepts and imagery with fairy concepts and imagery. As a result you have trains powered by elementals that criss-cross a busy city on an island now sealed off by magic. In the first book our two detectives (a […]
Herbie goes steampunk
Do you remember the film Herbie Goes Bananas? It was the story of a little VW Beetle that seems to have a mind of its own. Roleplayers might worry about which dark force has taken control of the machine… but as this was a family Disney film there was no such dark twist. In this […]
Steampunk Snow White
Not the usual mashup, I think, despite both steampunk and Disney princesses being popular choices. The cosplayer is Marta / Enjoy This and she’s wearing a design based on NoFlutter’s design for the Steampunk Fairy Tale Group Art project. The photographer is Alexander Nikolis.
Steampunk Stormtrooper cosplay
Not your usual Stormtrooper? A first time cosplayer was inspired by the steampunk Star Wars works of Bjorn Hurri. I understand why! Hurri’s art is fantastic and has been featured on Geek Native before. This is the piece that the cosplay is based on, I think. Via Fashionably Geek.
Steampunk Changelings: A review of Bronze Gods

Glow in the […]
Sponsored Video: From steampunk elephants to Titanfall – a brief history of mecha warfare
American gamers already have access to Titanfall and it looks like they’re loving it. Here in the UK we’re waiting just a few more days – until the 14th. With at least one pundit calling the game “Microsoft’s killer app” Titanfall has a piece of Microsoft history all to itself. The game is available for […]
Steampunk BioShock Infinite headphones
These headphones are a custom job by Edge Works on deviant art. They began life as Aerial 7 Tank Headphones, described as good looking, comfortable and with massive 57mm drivers and then converted with sharpies into a “BioShock Infinite steampunked style”. What do you think? Time to take sharpies to your headphones?
