Very Important By Animenokaze

Some sites take their cue from the genus "steampunk" to make policy by referring to some tragic dictatorships of the past.

This web-site is "PACIFIST", "NO-MILITARIST" and "ANTI-DICTATORIAL".

Our work is about fascinating worlds technologically alternative from the artistic point of view.

Each intimidation or threats by groups, or individuals, about political issues, will be immediately prosecuted by legal.

THE THEME OF THIS BLOG IS, EXCLUSIVELY, THE STEAM-ART AND RELATED.

Many thanks for your kind attention.

Dieselpunk

Dieselpunk refers to a branch of the pop-surrealist (aka “low brow”) artistic movement popularized in the early 2000s. Dieselpunk style combines the aesthetics of the Interbellum period with modern technology and sensibilities. Coined in 2001 by Lewis Pollack to describe his role-playing game Children of the Sun, the term now refers to a distinctive style of graphic art, music, film, fashion, literature, and even architecture. The self-derisive motto of the genre is, "Dieselpunk, because Steampunk wasn't dirty enough."

10 Websites That Turn the Pinion of Steampunk in Web design

Posted on January 2, 2014 by ArtRivera

Have you watched Fullmetal Alchemist? Have you played Arcanum? If not, let me explain what steampunk is. This genre in art has grown from the combination of cyberpunk and Victorian age aesthetics. In the best traditions of postmodern in result we got a quaint syncretism, which is nevertheless quite recognizable. Once you see steampunk you clearly understand – it’s steampunk. The style can thank for this numerous elements such as clockwork, pipes, steam valves, pinions, copper knobs and other typical attributes of Steam age, designed in anachronic manner. As for the cyberpunk influence, you can catch a flavor of noir.

Steampunk is the most popular among other derivatives of cyberpunk and the only one among them that can be supposed as a distinct and separate genre. Moreover, steampunk has already become an integral part of mass-culture. But what’s about the Internet? Well, web designer also like to use its aesthetics in their works, especially if it fits the theme of the website. And though web design can be called art only metaphorically, it demonstrates steampunk style very representatively. For you to acquaint yourself with the genre – below the most attractiveexamples of steampunk in web design are listed.

Best of the Dark Side: 13 Seriously Cool Steampunk Links

In 2009 I added the Steampunk subcategory. Steampunk in and of itself isn't goth, but a lot of goths are interested in it, and there's a lot of crossovers between the genres. Steampunk doesn't have to be dark though. Anyway, not knowing much about steampunk before I dove in, I found it quite interesting and challenging to explore the online steampunk community and its wealth of resources.

1. Brass Goggles

This blog and its related forum is the epicenter of the online steampunk scene. They focus on "the lighter side of steampunk," and ask that posts with partial nudity be clearly marked as NSFW (not safe for work). The forums are nicely categorized into different sections for costuming, writing/literature, food and drink, music/film/TV and games, propmaking/crafts, etc. You could really get sucked into spending lots of time here every day if you weren't careful!

2. Steampunk Empire

A well-organized Ning social network. The forums include Literature & Language; Film; Food & Libation; Music; Fashion; Events; Games; Marketplace; and Maker. There are also several Groups, including The Steampunk Star Wars Society; The Aether Guild of Writers; Bay Area Steampunk Society; French Steampunk; and The Imagineer Guild.

4. TeslaCon

While there are many great steampunk conventions (including Steamcon right here in Seattle), the website design here is so good at transporting you into the theme, I wanted to mention this one. November 5-7, 2010, in Madison, Wisconsin.
