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. ... I tracked down their Steampunk page and have spent the last hour staring in slack-jawed wonder.

Following my previous post on the subject, lots of people have sent me links to various things Steampunk. I've spent a little time trawling myself, as well, and so here are a few more links for your delight and delectation:

An introduction to Steampunk

Steampunk is a glorious nonsense, then, on every conceivable level. It is a period in history that never happened, a future that will never be. We're used to writers and film-makers creating our imaginary worlds for us but, although both groups have had their input into it, Steampunk is a product of the internet; springing from the consensus imagination of enthusiasts all over the globe. It is the first "open-source" fantasy world and it is just a mouse-click away. I recommend you take some time out to explore it for yourself; be amused, inspired and illuminated.
