A while ago, Mr Q Walpole directed me back to the illustrative and concept work of Mr Keith Thompson – a very very skilled and imaginative gentleman indeed!  With works that straddle and contain many genres, there are treasures indeed for the Steampunk fan – from the above Scribe automaton/cyborg, to Steampunk-technology enabled necromantic mothers, to brass war robots by Kingdom Brunel, and two different Steampunk war vehicles – one open, with a tea engine, and another enclosed.

More amazing still, is that each image is a window into a world – they almost all have backstory written for them, from the legalities of creating scribe-automatons with the parts of the deceased, to the grisly, macabre doom of the necromancer surrogate, each one isn’t just a picture, its the artifact of a world we’ve never been to (and in some cases, we’re glad that’s the case!)

There’s probably more Steampunk there to find, I only called out the most obvious ones, but if your interests also run to cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, zombies, fantasy, and far more – then you’ll most likely lose an hour or so poring over the beautiful site.  I certainly did.
