Following yesterday’s post, Adam Walker got in touch and gave me a link to this painting:

It’s titled “An Ocean Battle Between Steam Ships And A Cyber-Octopus” by Alex Broeckel (check out his gallery) and was one of the finalists in the CG Society’s Steampunk competition. Being the investigative dork that I am, I had to follow up on this reference to the CG Society. I tracked down their Steampunk page and have spent the last hour staring in slack-jawed wonder.
Here’s the link: CG SOCIETY STEAMPUNK RESULTS. These are some of the best CG images and animations ever, and they’re all Steampunk-themed. It is AWESOME. What are you still doing here?
***A late addition, courtesy of Fiona Mackenzie, who discovered the incredible work of Eric Freitas via one of the links from here and suggested I highlight it.***
Man, that site is going to kill my productivity for the day, some of that stuff is incredible!
