Steampunk Airship Pilots – ConceptArt Thread

ConceptArt Steampunk Airship Captain by Venasque

A little while ago, the eminently talented people over at ConceptArt set the topic of their regular forum challenge for character concept art as “Steampunk Airship Pilot“, and what varied and interesting results there were.  The above is a crop of my favourite, done by forum member Venasque, but there are captains to suit every style, I think.  Scroll past the first voting post to see larger versions of each of the entries – it’s a large thread with lots of pictures, but they’re very well done.

I do love the colours of the one above though – this is my Steampunk – this may or may not have anything to do with the large quantity of brass in the image, including the goggles.  Ahem.  Thank you Wandering Nomad, (and there may have been someone else, but my aethermail refuses to cooperate – I will edit it in once I find it, I do apologise.)

    I notice that a large percentage of those Airship Pilots are missing a few body parts. Tough line of work that must be

    Ah ha! It's a small Steampunk world then, isn't it? *chuckles* I'd like to say again how much I liked your entry to the competition over at ConceptArt - it really was my favourite. The colours, the details and the contraptions just put a big grin on my face.

    In fact, have you considered selling prints? If its to somewhere that will ship to the UK, I believe I wouldn't mind having one of 1st Lt. Wolfe.
  • Hello Tinker!
    I was SO surprised to check in on Brass Goggles here and find my image posted on the front page. Thanks!
    Thought I'd let y'all know that I'm a BIG fan of the brass goggles blog and a huge fan of steampunk. It might be of interest to know that I'm also the artist who did the Steampunk Magazine Cover Illustration:
