Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Steampunk is anything Victorian, Edwardian, or turn of the century style with a dash of modern punk imbedded together. Think “The Golden Compass” saga or the anime “Steam Detectives”. Reworking, recreating, and remodeling the new into old and the old into new. For example: A new keyboard make from old typewriter keys, and sifting thru thrift stores for an old cabinet, stripping it, restaining it, and adding a new Victorian handle.

Cogs and whistles, chains and handles, OH! I love creating things. Manhattan has all the best thrift stores tho, Long Island is blah sometimes, but not too long ago I found 2 great China plates to decorate the house with (cost me $5 total) and 2 Egyptian papyrus wall hangings ($11 total). My dad loved all the beer steins in there, but we have barely any room at home, but for the future we know where to go.

One of the best purchases I made in the thrift store was buying “All Stars Comics” Archives Editions Vol. 11. on hardback, that book costs over $50, I bought it for $4! It was in perfect shape, and feature the Justice Society of America back in the 1950’s. Great vintage age comic art on: The Atom, the Flash, Black Canary, Green Lantern, Dr. Mid-Night, Hawkman and Wonder Woman.

Omg omg, holy &$*# & omg! That was October for me. Busy as always and I blame it all (for Gaia related business) on an Outlaw Pup. See I finally finished Gin-Ichimaru-35’s picture he requested months ago (really sorry man) (lets see if he claims it), and his avatar was wearing an Outlaw Pup skin, now those things are cool and also really hard to draw. But suddenly I got a huge, HUGE idea, why don’t I add in an Outlaw Pup he is taunting in the picture and make it into a wallpaper? BRILLENT!

But finding a good vector on an Outlaw Pup took a while, and I wanted GOOD, not some small crap. I finally found one on that’s to zomgpedia part of some wikipedia site. And this got me on a chain of ideas to sell myself by making Gaia themed wallpapers, something not seen often on Deviant Art (unless its by Admins and Artists for the site).

So I made 3 wallpapers already. I would say the 1st was Gin’s but it wasn’t I was testing my measurements with a steampunk theme first, if that came out good then I would make it my template. It worked, so I set out on wallpaper #2 a china themed on celebrating the opening of Global Bazaar. I like it so much I made a variant with Joseph Michael Linsner’s Dawn character which is my current muse. Dawn is a really cool comic, but a bit confusing for me at times, oh and no “superhero” stuff is in there either, a very different read.

So finally I just finished Gin’s request and added wallpaper. OMG its over yay! So now I’m looking for more themes to make wallpapers out of. Tektek is my guidebook. So far my themes are:
- Steampunk (done)
- China Love (done)
- Hunter Dark Elf
- Sorceress Dark Elf
- Sexy Vampiress
- Techno Girl
- Fire Dancer
- Demoness in Flight
- Mermaid
- Wind Walker
- Kimono
- Fight Scene
- Halloween (working on, yes I’m late)
- Winter
- Zombie-land

Well I have a lot of work to do. Anyway looking for donations since I am giving my wallpapers away, I don’t have enough time to surf Gaia like I used to. I’m on Photoshop most of the time. I’ll take anything and be grateful.

Tell your friends and their friends about my wallpapers, increase my work load! WEEEEEE! (really tell them!)
