Steampunk

Steampunk is a very unique sub-genre of science fiction. The influential work of steampunk grew in the 1060s and 1970s, following inspiration from the industrial revelation in western civilization. Steampunk work was set in different eras of the 19^th century. However, it was commonly known to have been set in a British Victorian era as the clothing choices on the characters resembled Victorian fashion.

The design of steampunk work typically featured steam powered mechanical machines that assist the character in some manner. There are many distinct elements in steampunk work which generates this unique and particular genre style. Below are examples of steampunk work:

As you can see in the images steampunk has particular features with certain objects, listed are some of those included:

• goggles
• cranks/cogs
• hats
• Victorian clothes
• nuts/bolts
• brass
• weapons

You may notice the colour palette in this visual style is reserved and dreary this is because steampunk is representing a vintage era and thus trying to create a classic feel. Like the image above, most of steampunk art have layers of textures to the image. This provides depth into the artwork and produces a more intriguing view on the work.
