This week I reviewed The Ministry Initiative: The Ministry of Peculiar Occurrences. Before I dig into the meat of the review I have a couple of things I’d like to note. First, I’m a systems person. If you read the Age of Electrotech review, you already know what I’m going to say next; I’m going […]

The remarkable mechanical dragon
This steampunk like dragon puppet is the work of La Machine. As the builder’s name suggests you’ll have to be in France if you want to see this giant creature in the wild. La Machine call the puppet Long Ma Jing Shen or “The Spirit of the Horse Dragon”. It rears. It breathes fire. It’s […]
Magic or Science: A review of Karneval
Karneval wastes no time in getting going. As the anime opens there is a young man handcuffed to a bed and a lecherous noble woman astride him. Kinky? It would help if the noble woman wasn’t also a hideous monster who literally hungers for flesh. Thankfully for our innocent hero – “Get off, you’re heavy” […]
Alien Indian steampunk: A review of Jani and the Greater Game
Jani and the Greater Game is the first in a new series from sci-fi writer Eric Brown. Brown’s previous books include the likes of Satan’s Reach (Weird Space), Helix Wars, The Devil’s Nebula and plenty of other titles that often involve alien fleets. Readers familiar with Brown’s usual sci-fi style will be forgiven for wondering […]

This wonderful prosthesis was created by Christopher Snell. Snell’s a master at this; an expert in making all sorts of prosthetics. What gets me is how the gears on the leg are still while the model is standing still. They only start to turn when the walker begins to use his leg. I don’t think […]
Does the Ragnarok gas mask make you think “Steampunk Bane”?
Etsy retailer Tom Banwell has this handmade mask up for sale. Created with leather, resin, metal fittings, cold cast aluminun and acrylic sheet the mask is titled “Ragnarok Gas Mask”. Perhaps it’s the model Banwell picked to sell the steampunk mask but I can’t help think of Gotham’s very own Bane. A steampunk Bane. What […]

29 Disney characters transform into fashionable steampunks
This collection of Disney characters is impressive. There’s so many of them that have undergone Mecainque Fairy’s fantastic steampunk transformation. Mecainque Fairy is a deviant artist who’s going straight into my watch list. It’s also worth checking out her Tumblr where you’ll notice no shortage of sensible pro-woman, pro-body and pro-sexuality posts.
