Personally, I like boilerpunk a lot - it has the cultural, historical, and artistic elements of steampunk, but is more realistic and shows how imperial society wasn't all tea-parties, gaslight romances, and masked balls and such - that the upperclass got to do these things because millions of common working people had to slave away and die after a miserable 30 years of life. However, I am also rapidly becoming more interested in dieselpunk - especially after learning they have Soviets!!!
Boilerpunk! I've never heard of such a thing, but I do love the idea. I'm much more into Steampunk for the historical, mechanical, and socio-political aspect of the genre. "...that the upperclass got to do these things because millions of common working people had to slave away and die after a miserable 30 years of life." I completely and unequivocally agree!! I don't think most "Steampunkers" realize just how fucking hard life actually was back then for the vast majority of people.
And NOTHING pisses me off more than seeing a mechanic/worker costume or design that's spotless and clean.
Not only is this a moronic thing to do - it's also annoyingly lame, because the most interesting parts of history are the parts that people always want to gloss over. Steampunk (and all the other alt-history genres) are really much more fun when viewed through a realistic lens... even if it isn't very pretty all the time. ~lish
Second, this is a really spectacular piece , your linework especially!
Was this piece done on brown paper, or did you tint it digitally?
Either way, its a great choice, makes it look like a battlefield sketch.
It was a little bit of both. The paper I drew it on was fairly warm-colored, and the lighting in which I took the picture was also yellow. Then a little bit of digital touch-up...whaddabang, whaddaboom. Brown color.
Thank you again for the praise, and for acceptance into your group's gallery!
I mean... it's creepy in its own way. And the background adds without distracting from the main focus... and the detail. It's brilliant!
