I haven't shown much artwork around here lately, but I really like this one which is titled "The Expedition must continue!"  http://voitv.deviantart.com/art/The-gone-expedition-194954266

(Thought one might have thought the clever artist would have at least used a naval uniform for the Captain...)

Then I discovered "Steam Trek" was a bigger thing... enjoy!

Sedales Serpent

Vehicle design for the Iron Grip game series from Isotx.

A bit more on the pulp Nef side than the VSF genre in my opinion, but very kewl!

This composite pic was generated to be used as a steampunk themed wallpaper, but I like it all the same as artwork.

Flooded London

I'm off again for another few days (to attend a Wedding in Tasmania), so I'll leave you this link to some great pics of a flooded London in an alternate history timeline!

Terror Birds

Perhaps those mysterious warrior monks have been training new adepts longer than we thought:

Terror Birds: Predators With a Kung Fu Kick?

and they may have been bigger than we thought too:

Huge bird-like dinosaur unearthed

All of which leaves this poor neanderthal in a heap of trouble...

Aquanef Inspiration

I found this pic on my hard-drive the other day, saved from goodness knows where (please tell me if you know). I absolutely love it - very Nemoesque and great Aquanef insipration.

A cracker of a picture

I just spied this fanstic sterographic image at the Republic of Sonora website- great stuff!

Well now its animated too!


but I prefer the B&W render for truly authentic feel:

Dreadnought Mk IV

Continuing their Iron Grip range, Isotx have unveiled the Rahmos Airforce's Dreadnought Mk IV Class, and awesome she is!

DREADNOUGHT MARK IV CLASS

One of the most powerful and dangerous classes of airship in the world is the massive Dreadnought class. Built from the ground up to be the most effective battlewagon available, the Dreadnought Mk IV is only outsized by the brand new Carrier and a few individual vessels such as the Majestic. The pinnacle of line-o-battle warship technology, the Dreadnought Mk IV lies on the verge of a naval revolution. While it keeps its main armament in its broadside batteries of 8” and 10” guns, its effective firepower is multiplied several times over by the addition of newer, larger guns in higher mobility mounts – eight 12” guns, four per side, are housed in armored wide-angle casemates, and two 14” guns are contained in an armored gun turret amidships, facing forward. Powerful and accurate, these larger guns are capable of dealing devastating damage at long range, often before enemy ships can close within broadside range. With the advent of more powerful heavier-than-air planes, the Dreadnought was built with antiaircraft protection in mind, and the ship is studded with 5”, 3”, 40mm and 20mm rapid-fire cannons. The firepower unleashed by the antiaircraft battery makes it almost immune to enemy fighters, and extremely dangerous to larger bombers. Two aerial torpedo launchers give the ship some very heavy alternative firepower in medium range encounters. Triple drive screws give the airship a respectable top speed, and the huge numbers of ducted lift fans make it capable of gaining altitude more quickly than any other large ship of its type. No other single warship from any rival nation can match the Dreadnought in combat capability.

“Raked prow and cannons proud, she plies the skies, great majesty endowed. Propellers spin, machinery loud as the Dreadnought soars and conquers the clouds” – from Ode to the Dreadnought.
