ReplyDeletethis is callieway from DA
:D elphieofkiamoko from dA here!!
ReplyDeleteI've been following a blog about multiculturalism in Steampunk, and I have to say that the Roma (aka "Gypsy") influence is my favorite at the moment. Not only is it modest and clean, it's part of my own genetic history, too. I'm planning on incorporating a lot of it into my own style. *w*
Firefly. Most definitely Firefly! Lyseebell from DA.
ReplyDeleteLight bulbs as bottles? That's a brilliant idea XD. Oh I am so looking forward to making it to one of these balls. So many talents to be seen, yours included ^^. I will most definitely have a piece for the next time donations are needed.
ReplyDeleteSincerely

I really like classic Steampunk, I guess. Hmmm... I suppose the Steam versions of WWI. Like the Leviathan series. c:
ReplyDeleteI'm a scifi junkie myself and a complete lover of Firefly. I really love how they incorporated that steampunk feel with the western look and attitude in the series. Very creative.
ReplyDeleteOh and I am a dodo brain and forgot to tell you my influence for Steampunk.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Kailee introduced me to Steampunk about a year and a half ago and I have been hooked ever since. It was such an amazing idea I got addicted to it. So Kailee is my biggest influence for Steampunk <3 My favorite era to see Steampunk in is WWII era (Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was awesome! And I can't wait for Suckerpunch.)
So much Steampunk, so little time :D
(sorry if this double posted)

I would have to say my favorite influence is tied with classic victorian and shows like firefly/jules verne(idk if anyone remembers the jules verne show). *Fingers Crossed* my email is kittykarla55@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteThis anime -> Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind
ReplyDeleteLoved that movie. But other than that Firefly was an awesome movie too :D
~Skyebells
LaChasseresse from DA here, and I have to say that my favorite influence on steampunk is Victorian, but I also have a bit of a soft-spot for Old Western steampunk. :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, Firefly. There is no other. (In that vein, sci-fi steampunk is pretty awesome)
ReplyDelete-aleatoricelements from DA
Hi, I'm Rhusalka on dA! My favorite kind of steampunk is carnival/circus style. For example, I like whimsical calliope music and steampunk clothes with bold, high-contrast stripes.
ReplyDeleteWish I could go to the steampunk ball!
I would have to say that I love Victorian Steampunk the most, but two movies have influenced my ideal the most - The Golden Compass, and Stardust.
ReplyDeleterockmermaidfire on dA
ReplyDeleteand my favorite influence would be the traditional victorian and the asian influence. ^-^
I like kind of a mix... I like Victorian a lot, but I also love putting Asian stuff in my costumes, particularly Chinese silk. :) I'm also a fan of sci fi, so FIREFLY FOR THE WIN!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm megpie252 on dA.
hey lisa its amami-1!! my favorite influence has got 2 b Victorian!! XDD
ReplyDeleteMy favorite steampunk influence is definitely Victorian <3
ReplyDeleteHi there! This is CaptainSeawolf from DA
ReplyDeletemy biggest inspirations on Steampunk have to be Firefly, Stardust, and Treasure Planet, because they are just so awesome!
hiya its Little-Devil-92 from DA here!
ReplyDeleteI have to say mine are traditional Victorian, as it is amazing!
My favourite influence? Well, I'd have to say traditional Victorian steampunk, but artist-wise, Keith Thompson is my other biggest influence. I also love nautical themes, so mixing steampunk with stories like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is something I love seeing. Oh, and also AtomeFabrik's creations are good inspiration for me when drawing goggles/gizmos, since he's such an amazing machinist/engineer.
ReplyDeleteI'm Sonellion from dA, by the way.
Hi, I'm ButterflyFromHell15 from dA!
ReplyDeleteHm... I'd say Traditional Victorian and the
Asian Influences inspire me the most regarding Steampunk, I don't know why... they just do^^
Hey there... it´s HALsurfer from deviantArt.
ReplyDeleteMy influence goes with my commision request I´m working on and well he wants to get marionettes.
So I looked into it and got many inspirations from the movie 9.
Other than this I love the victorian era and all those little machines they have.
So here you go.
Have fun!
=^.~=
I never knew that much about steampunk until the last year and I honestly have no influence. I have several friends that are into it and am learning but a little slow on the uptake :)

Absolutely Victorian :D (Catcat222 on DA)
ReplyDeleteHello~ This is Unknown-D-Flamerose From DA.
ReplyDeleteI have to say the most inspirational is Treasure Planet, Titian A.E. and Labyrinth, for movie related inspirations~<3
Hiya! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI must say my favourite steampunk is the firefly and the Asian influences! <33
They are so beautiful!

One of the most interesting combinations in steampunk I've ever seen is Victorian industrial and native American. I've never seen anything else quite like it!
ReplyDeleteFrom your faithful dA follower ~videolizzard99! :)
Id have to say my first influence was H. G. Wells. One of my all time favorite authors!
ReplyDeleteTraditional Victorian by far.
ReplyDelete~KtheWife from DA
Hello :)
ReplyDeleteI like all kinds of Steampunk influences, but I have to say I find Sci-Fi and Victorian pieces very interesting and influential.
Deviantart-Sanzattack :)
Well, I've never been one to have actually worn anything steampunk, but a lot of my friends do. So I've seen a lot of versions, and I pretty much enjoy all them. But I've recently seen on dA a lot of pirate-y things turned steampunk and I LOVE that! I am such a pirate at heart! <3 So if any were to be my all-time favorite, it'd be that type! :D
ReplyDeleteFrom DazzledByNorrington on Deviantart!
Native American is always interesting, but I'm biased towards Ancient Egyptian ;3
ReplyDeleteslightly-invisible from DA.
My favorite would probably have to be....
ReplyDeleteHmm... I'm not sure. I love steam punk in general, but I think Victorian might be my favorite.
Futuristic steampunk is great too. Its sort of an oxymoron. I love oxymorons.
-MysticAcademy from deviantART.
I believe that the best influence on steampunk are clockworks. Why? Because steampunk is what I call retro futurism of long long time ago. Meaning a perspective of future from the eyes of the past in its core a gate of endless possibilites via limited technology and style. Clockworks resemble that, they are a pile of corks and screws aranged into a complex mechanism that counts time, a chronometer.
ReplyDeleteCreation of a clockwork was a new step in history that did what steampunk is dreaming about. And so clocks gave shape to steampunk and influenced it into their direction. Invention of chronommeter gave birth to ideas and attempted to what could be created with a pile of corks and screws. And I dare to say that this is more than 70 % of steampunk, the best 70%.

I think that the best influence on steampunk are goggles. Does this count as an influence? Honestly, I loved goggles before I got into steampunk; I just thought they were the best accessory (plus safety measure)! Once I got into steampunk fashion a few years back, I just loved all the different goggle styles. There are so many different styles, and so many unique ideas that stem from goggles. Goggles are important in many occupations - from scientists in a chemistry lab to an aviator piloting a plane to a biker who needs eye protection. Goggles can really add to a character, and I just simply love them.

I wish I could go to the ball but there's no way I'll be able to make it :-(
ReplyDeleteI think I like the ecclecticism of things that have influenced steampunk style. There are so many different layers between the traditional victorian base with western elements plus the grunge of living in a steam-powered world. I frankly love it all! The coolest part is the ability to incorporate your own interests into the style seemlessly if you go about it properly. I, for example, am pretty well obsessed with cephalopods so I added octopuses & squids into a number of different pieces I designed. Some day I'm going to include a kilt (like, a legitimate traditional tartan kilt) into my character's outfit because of my celtic heritage. I just think it's so awesome how steampunk fashion has pulled bits & pieces from so many different places! I don't know if that really answered your question or not, but there it is!
P.S. This is kilted-katana from dA ^_^
My favorite influences on Steampunk that I have seen would have to be either Old-timey Victorian or Texan. The way that the Texas look puts a spin on the steampunk craft is simply amazing; spurs, guns, and old-western clothing fits right in with steampunk! Old-timey Victorian has always been a favorite of mine as well; the poofy dresses, the dusty, aged look - it all appeals to the world of Steampunk. For myself, I also like to incorporate junk or scrap metal into my steampunk pieces, as a more machinery type look. All in all, Steampunk is influenced by many different types of cultures and fashions. One I would love to see would be a Pirate-Steampunk =)
ReplyDeleteI am on Deviantart and my account name is Jacqueline-Victoria ^^
Hello, I would have to say I love the Asian influences because it mixes old style with futuristic tech perfectly with the awesomeness of Asians, and lets admit it, Asians make everything better
ReplyDeleteDA: defeatedart
I'd have to say Firefly, it's a show I love, and mixing futuristic with steampunk is just plain great, in my opinion. I loved virtually everything about that series.
ReplyDeleteDA: SnoringFrog
butanokaabii from DeviantArt, of course. I hope I'll win something again.
ReplyDeleteI like Victorian steampunk, with a little bit of Asian and sci-fi. Fantasy elements are very much welcome.
For my money you can't top Girl Genius. Mad science, clockwork robots, and overly elaborate victorian undergarments. (Yes, I know they insist on calling it Gaslamp Fantasy. It still counts as an influence.)
ReplyDelete-DA's Tropertales
my fave influence is western, especialy in boneshaker.
ReplyDeleteDA is LadyAkeldama
I like all kinds of Steampunk influences... Hmm... The kind what they use in the film '20000 leagues under the sea' is the most awesome one.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Eva (Svanavenue@DeviantArt)
You know...my answer to this question changes based on what stuff I've seen recently! I love Eyptian influence, but I also like fantasy. I also like more traditional, gears and such. Mostly it's how the piece comes together that decides it for me and as a result, I like lots of different types!
ReplyDeleteThis is the-kurisutaru on DA btw. :)
Idolum from deviantart here~
ReplyDeleteOh wow...difficult qustion! I do like the classical english-victorian steampunk style, but also western, asian oder fantasy-influenced style...hmmm....^^
Dual influences are firefly and early aviation. I don't have a blogger account, but can be reached at aklnhanson at gmail dot com
ReplyDeleteHi ^^ Deviant Onceuponapage here. hmmm my fave influence on Steampunk would have to be classic victorian style cus i have always liked victorian fashion and culture, and steampunk just amps it up to 11 XD! however there will always be a special place in my heart for Old West Style steampunk <3.
ReplyDeleteomg what is this music?! so catchy!! all my friends are like dancing to it XDD i want it!
Roxy Dementia here... I thought I was in love with Victorian and tried a few things from that era in my home, etc. Nope. That wasn't quite right. I'm twisted. *grin* Then Steampunk happened and it was "YES!!! That's it!!!" Love almost everything about it.
ReplyDeleteSteampunk is the only real world to me..i feel like an alien in mainstream clothes and civilizations so every little bit of something more..remarkable makes me live my world, a happy place on earth yet to come.
