Steampunk | Off Book | PBS Arts

http://www.pbs.org/pbsarts Steampunk art evokes an alternate reality where steam is the primary source of power. Technology, though highly advanced, has taken on a very different look and feel, and fashion is heavily influenced by Victorian styles. In this episode, we explore the Steampunk aesthetic and art movement. We speak with a Steampunk artist, a composer who created an entire piece of music inspired by Steampunk, and a performing arts collective whose work falls naturally into this intriguing world.

Hi. I'm creating a comic that involves 17th century-esque piracy, but I would like to put a steampunk twist on it. Especiall the ships. Does anyone out there know of any references I can use? (I'm not part of the steampunk culture, so I'm pretty clueless.)

@UVBluesman

nahhhh, that would be pop gothic. he uses a lot of cliches about gothic to make his aesthetic. even tho one could include that in a steam punk look if one wanted. 19th century design motifs have to predominate though.in my opinion.
