Why is it that whenever you hear of a new word or concept for the first time, you start hearing it everywhere?The first I heard of "steampunk" was the beautiful steampunk laptop. So I looked around to learn more about it, and found it a popular genre that I'd never heard of before.
Then along comes another great steampunk site. Sillof has a wonderful collection of Star Wars characters, redesigned in the steampunk style.
This is beautiful work. The makeover is carefully designed, and meticulously implemented. Each figure keeps its individual character and is fully recognisable, but the style and detail is wonderfully steampunk.
Darth Vader, pictured above is probably my favourite, but I love all of this guy's work.
Other highlights of the site are a set of 1942 Star Wars characters and the Gaslight Justice League.
