Buy This Arm That’s Had Nathan Fillion’s Arm in It [Steampunk]

by Susana Polo | 1:56 pm, March 8th, 2012

Well, now that I’ve crafted a sufficiently apparently nonsensical title for you, you should know that in the Castle episode “Punked,” involved a Deloran, suspicions of time traveling, suspicions of old-timey duels to the death, suspicions of old-timey duels to the accidental death, and a Steampunk society murder.

Also, during the episode, Nathan Fillion’s titular character dons a Steampunk styled outfit complete with pneumatic arm, to get in the swing of things. And now you can buy that arm, to put your arm where Fillion put his arm.

Things We Saw Today: Where Everything Is In The Hunger Games

by Jamie Frevele | 5:30 pm, February 5th, 2012

Okay, you guys: I haven’t finished the second book in The Hunger Games trilogy yet, so I am admitting openly to you that I didn’t read this entire post because it warned me of spoilers. However, I know enough to tell you that V. Arrow, who wrote the upcoming The Panem Companion: An Unofficial Guide to Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games, is the woman responsible for this map of Panem and its districts. (via io9)

You Will Want to See This Steampunk Greek Goddess Photoset, Immediately

by Jamie Frevele | 3:28 pm, January 2nd, 2012

This is one of those things that is so squarely in our wheelhouse that there was no question about posting it so we could show it to you. Three women — producer/designer Jessica Rowell (of J-Chan Designs), photographer Nina Pak, and model Elizabeth Maiden — banded together to create a set of photos entitled “Athena’s Curse, Medusa’s Fate,” depicting steampunk interpretations of the Greek goddesses Athena and Artemis (pictured above), plus Medusa. We won’t make you wait anymore. Pictures start right after the jump.

Steampunk Disney Characters (Mostly Villains, But Also Heroines and Pinocchio)

by Jamie Frevele | 2:27 pm, December 18th, 2011

Aside from its 2000 animated film, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Disney has never really ventured into the world of steampunk. So DeviantARTist MecaniqueFairy was kind enough to imagine it and execute it in this collection, which includes heroines, heroes, and villains alike. The results are just as cool as you’d think!

This Music Video Calls Out Lazy Steampunk Offenders

by Jill Pantozzi | 3:32 pm, December 9th, 2011

Gluing some gears on it does not a steampunk make. One Sir Reginald Pikedevant, Esquire takes serious issue with those too lazy to really know what steampunk is and wrote a little ditty about it. He says the song is “Inspired by the category “Things That Are Not Steampunk” on Regretsy , and (of course) those peerless purveyors of Euterpean epopee, Professor Elemental and Mr B, the Gentleman Rhymer.” Heck, he got a fire burning under my butt. I mean, hot steam. I don’t think I’m doing this right.

When Life Gives You Antique Furniture and a Nerf Gun, Make an Antique Steampunk Nerf Gun

by Susana Polo | 11:11 am, September 28th, 2011

Did you just unexpectedly come into the possession of some items of antique furniture? Are they clashing unavoidably with the post-modern chrome of your futuristic sleep-pod? Don’t worry. Just do like Spain-based Etsy user faustus70 and strip a seventy-five-year-old chair to fashion a steampunk cover for your Nerf N-Strike Barricade.

Bonus Fact: Up until now, Antique Steampunk Nerf Gun was high on my list of definite oxymorons.

Yup. Shats. Hats that are endorsed by William Shatner. Yes, the William Shatner. It writes itself, everyone. (via BuzzFeed)

Paging Steampunk: This is Marie-Antoinette’s Dulcimer-Playing Andriod

by Susana Polo | 1:16 pm, September 12th, 2011

And if you’re not simply blown away by the mechanical fact that somebody put this together in 1785, we invite you to be fascinated by the fact that the automaton is, in fact, actually playing the dulcimer with its hammers, not miming the playing while another mechanism; or by the idea that there was a time when our definition of “science” and “art” had much more overlap than they do now; or by the idea that the figure may have been made with some of Marie-Antoinette’s actual hair.

Of course, the lure of a lovingly crafted steampunk wheelchair is frequently too much for mortal men…
