Welcome to the Steampunk Engine!

This blog is a compendium of Steampunk guides, artwork, literature, and other facets of the Steampunk aesthetic.

But before I can divulge these various contents with you, we must first pose the question for those who are not familiar:

What is “SteamPunk”?

Whether or not a picture, object, or story is considered “Steampunk” is really in the eye of the beholder, but Steampunk is usually defined by depicting

new or modern technology in the past, usually Victorian Era England, and less often 1920’s or prior America.  The technology and way of life is described

as being an alternate reality where, instead of technology evolving using computers and electricity, steam power or clockwork/gears are used instead, hence the brass and copper, gear and bolt filled environment we think of as “Steampunk”.

In my opinion, the Steampunk movement depicts a time where objects were created with art in mind, often using elaborate and elegant ornament on things meant to be used frequently, rather than the way modern manufacturers emphasize sleek, minimalistic designs where it is better to have less showing on the outside.

No matter what you consider “Steampunk”, this blog will have how-to guides, cool pictures, and any other interesting things I can find.
