Musings from a travelling Steampunk

Steampunk Alice

Traveler | 30. Juli 2010

After posting the article on Sucker Punch, I suddenly remembered this weird-victorianesque computer game American McGee’s Alice, I played it some time in 2000: Just look at the graphics, they were state of the art back then but they look, well, outdated now. Anyway, I was quite surprised and pleased to find out a sequel [...]

More Art from Iron Grip: Marauders

Traveler | 30. Juni 2010

Ah, so beautiful! I really cannot wait until Iron Grip: Marauders finally goes online. The artwork alone: Massive Steampunk warmachines! Epic!

Iron Grip: Marauders – Martial Artwork

Traveler | 20. Mai 2010

After yesterday’s lengthy response (actually, it is more than twice the length of the original essay), I guess it’s time for a short post and some artwork again. The artwork fits yesterday’s article quite nicely since the ethetics behind it are rather obvious, I think. The soldier in the middle has elements of a Landsknecht [...]
