A plea from Mouse

| June 23, 2011

If any of you are gamers, or if you just want to help me, out, please please go here (facebook) and/or here (DriveThruRPG) and vote for Sepia. I entered in a character writing contest, and am close to winning! If I win, I get a custom portrait of my character and an Android Tablet.

I solemly pledge to use them for Steampunkery. Thank you very much!

The reason I’ve not posted recently is that my computer died, taking with it all my custom brushes, stock art, and the filters I had written. Mightily depressing, I’ll tell you. Lost all of my original PDS files of the wallpapers, too. Which sucks. I have the harddrive, and we’re going to attempt to forensic some data off it, but I’m not hopeful.

But! There is hope! New PC is up and running, Photoshop installed, slowly getting my chops back. I SHALL RETURN!

Power Plant

| June 14, 2011

Title: Power Plant
Description: In which adverse weather affects the local power generation facility.
Type: Widescreen, 1920×1080
Credits: Licensed as Creative Commons Attribution. 

Notes: Inspiration for this largely came from some of really awesome storms that have rolled through lately, plus I very much felt like doing another wallpaper that’s not quite so bright.  I’d also like to point out that, once again, I used The GIMP to make this.

Great Browncoats wallpaper: Westernpunky

| April 25, 2011

It’s not exactly steampunk, but I wanted to share with you the cool wallpaper that WinterArtwork put together for their teeshirt on ShirtWoot. The shirt will only be up today (4/25/11), but the wallpaper is free and permanent.

 

I promise that I’m not dead, either. Lots of changes in my life. Hope to get back to wallpaper soon. :)

Alternate Lift

Notes: I’d like to point out that I used The GIMP to make this.  I’ve used it for a few of my other ones as well but I don’t think I’ve mentioned it every time.  If you haven’t tried it yet, you should.  It’s quite a nice program.

Wow, new content! – Rain – fullscreen

| August 29, 2010

This is a large file (1600 by 1200). I’m trying to get back into doing wallpapers, but it’s difficult due to some personal stuff. Bah! Enough of that prattle, here’s a wallpaper!

Not dead! Massive set of guest wallpapers to tide you over.

| June 3, 2010

Hey all!

No, I’m not dead, I’ve just been very, very busy. For one, I’ve been running a tabletop RPG for 10 people (ye gods, I must be mad) that has taken up a lot of my free time. Yes, of course there are airships in it. It’s a reality-bending modern game set in Oklahoma. You can find the website for it here if you want to poke about. The website isn’t Steampunk, but some of the puzzles hidden on it are.

I hope to be back to making wallpapers soon! In the meantime, here’s a fairly large set of guest wallpapers that have been building up over the last two months.

NOTE: if you submitted one of these, and you have additional info about them, please let me know! I didn’t get a lot of info with all of them. :D

First up, five wallpapers from http://www.escapetheclouds.com/

All are 1920×1080, but they’ve got other versions at the link above.

Second, a bit of propaganda from the webcomic Clockworks. Start at the beginning here if you want the whole story.
Third, a piece called Fumo Fenestra (Steam Windows in Latin) from 3d artist X at BattleaxeGFX. X, I didn’t get a name for you, so let me know who the heck you are! :D

EDIT: X is artist rattle! Thanks for the awesome wallpaper, rattle!

User Stramp has some lovely sub papers at WinCustomize. In fact, there’s a whole subset at WinCustomize for Steampunk, including widgets and icons as well as wallpapers.
And last but not least is this piece from http://www.darkartistry.com. It was submitted, but I didn’t get any artist’s info out of it, sadly.

My roommate, the ever-lovely costumer Scissorfiend and I are holding a steamy craft circle this weekend. Late notice, I know, but if anyone out there in PDX wants to come craft with us, (or just hang out in steamy-goodness and nibble finger sammiches) check the post for the email address.
