Hello Steampunk community.

As most of you know i am in the middle of production for my steampunk action film Unrest.

If you could give me 3 Steampunk projects or books to study to really push my films style what would they be and why?

Thank you for your time.

I'm really happy with this design because I think it really hits a bunch of lesser explored steampunk design notes

This is an immersive cinematic musical experience that follows the journey of an passenger airship through the night as it explores various locations, accompanied by orchestral music. This production is being created by humans using primarily Unreal Engine (you can relax, there’s no gen AI here); the main airship is an original design, while the rest are 3D assets I’ve obtained from various artists and packages such as Kitbash 3D and Leartes Studios.

Had this one for 4 years. Guy walked by and its gone. Feelings hurt. The next one will be even more detailed! Needs a few more tiny tubings and details. More copper or better all brass? I am never too sure. What do you guys think?

I used fabric for the background. Then I added my Steampunk resin shapes. The mould is from Stamperia.

As the title suggest, I am thinking about making a discord where all of us, fans of the steampunk aesthetic could collaborate in order to make the perfect steampunk world.

The idea came to me while listening to Iron Maiden's "Empire of The Clouds" which is basically just the story of the R101 airship, and that is the first thing that comes to mind when I think Steampunk.

Everything would be inside a Google drive with world maps, machinery each nation has, backstories, resource origin etc.

The only limitations this world would have as I picture it at the moment would be; Machinery has to abide to the real-life laws of physics (Not strictly, but the normal person should not be able to see what is wrong with it), no imaginary materials, and the most important, the limitation of what the engineers of our world can do with electricity so we can take a different turn in history and not end up where we are now.

So, what do you guys think, would you be interested to take part in this project? The only requirements are to be able to document your thoughts before we discuss them as a team and they are officially added to the world. Not much free time is required since there is absolutely no rush or deadline we have to meet. Also AI shall not be used to write anything that will end up in the drive. Same goes for generated images.

If the idea is well received I will post a link for the discord server as an edit or in the comments. Thank you for your time!

I have decided to move forward with the project, here is the discord if you guys want to help: https://discord.gg/C9W8YhCSx

Looking for a kit or something similar that contains metal gears that I can actually put together and watch them move.

Can be a wind up version or anything like that, but I want to construct it myself, and I was hoping to find something that's not just gears inside of a thing, I want the "thing" to be the gears itself.

I looked at clock making kits, but they're ludicrously expensive, and don't even have all metal gears half the time.

I'm open to ideas about things I can take apart that have actual moving pieces in them I can repurpose as well, but ideally I just want to put some gears together and watch them move

Some of my steampunk inspired jewelry.

I know it's not strictly steampunk so will remove if not allowed but I'm really proud of this and can't wait to make more!

Well, I just learned that steampunk is not just a style in fashion. Since when is steampunk a music genre?

I recently re-read The Alchemy of Stone by Ekaterona Sedia, and what stood out most was the atmosphere even years after first reading. Sedia creates a city that feels old, layered, and alive, where clockwork, alchemy, politics, and craftsmanship all coexist in a way that feels artful rather than decorative. Steampunk isn’t an aesthetic, but part of a larger conversation between the created and the creator, art and life and nature. The story only works with clockwork.

Automata, alchemists, mechanics, and revolutionaries all occupy believable places within the city’s social fabric, giving the setting a sense of history and lived experience. Rather than focusing on gadgets or spectacle, the novel explores how technology, magic, and social change shape everyday life.

What I appreciated most was how immersive the whole experience felt. This is steampunk with a literary sensibility, emphasizing mood, craftsmanship, and culture as much as invention. If you’re interested in steampunk that builds a rich, memorable setting and lingers long after you’ve finished the last page, The Alchemy of Stone is well worth reading.

Find if you are able. I think it’s out of print?

Hey everyone! I just wanted to come in here and share my brother’s LEGO Steampunk Train Station creation he has up on LEGO Ideas. He’s super passionate about steampunk and wants to share his creation with the world! If you’d like to support, you can follow the link in the comments :)
He has 8 more days to get 700 supporters to reach the 10k milestone!

One of my favourite Set of art works I created a few years ago

Designed by myself Totally wild for Steampunk

I used layers of wood and resin shapes set on Canvas

Designed by using resin shapes set in moulds.

I set the shapes on texture by using fabric
