This wonderful prosthesis was created by Christopher Snell. Snell’s a master at this; an expert in making all sorts of prosthetics. What gets me is how the gears on the leg are still while the model is standing still. They only start to turn when the walker begins to use his leg. I don’t think […]
Does the Ragnarok gas mask make you think “Steampunk Bane”?
Etsy retailer Tom Banwell has this handmade mask up for sale. Created with leather, resin, metal fittings, cold cast aluminun and acrylic sheet the mask is titled “Ragnarok Gas Mask”. Perhaps it’s the model Banwell picked to sell the steampunk mask but I can’t help think of Gotham’s very own Bane. A steampunk Bane. What […]

29 Disney characters transform into fashionable steampunks
This collection of Disney characters is impressive. There’s so many of them that have undergone Mecainque Fairy’s fantastic steampunk transformation.

It’s also worth checking out her Tumblr where you’ll notice no shortage of sensible pro-woman, pro-body and pro-sexuality posts.

Should you find yourself in Cluj-Napoca, Romania then make the time to visit Joben Bistro. This pub has been transformed by design studio 6th Sense into something avant-garde. I describe this as a steampunk variant. Freshome describes it as Jules Verne inspired. We’re both probably right.
Superhero Week: Steampunk Catwoman cosplay
Catwoman and anything steampunk are popular cosplays but it’s not all that common to see a steampunk Catwoman mashup done well. Cosplayer Its-Raining-Neon has managed just that. In part I think it’s because she’s dumped latex and avoided super tight leather. Instead we’ve a cosplay with lace gloves, a corset and baggy shorts. Photographs by […]
Concept art from the Dieselpunk RPG InSomnia
InSomnia is a computer RPG set in a dangerous dieselpunk universe. It’s a Kickstarter that’s already attracted 600+ backers and $15K+ in a few days. This is attempt two for InSomnia, though. The first attempt was cancelled because the development team, Studio MONO, felt they hadn’t communicated the game clearly enough. This is not, as […]
