Gear brushes used in my pictures are from several people. Unfortunately, I've lost the credit file of who all of those people are.
Title: Steamglass Window Description: This… is not the wallpaper I started out to make. I had dreams, you see, dreams of empty cathedral windows, brimming with steam, colors projected upon it’s vaporous goodness. Steamglass windows, the perfect adornment for a factory cathedral. But no, it was not meant to be. My brain, my mouse wandered. I have this, instead. A gear-window… or perhaps a demented gear-eyed muppet. I’m not sure. In any case, sorry about the long wait. The teaser is still in progress; I’m waiting for my new pen. It’s just too hard to paint tenticle-actuators by hand, people! Type: Widescreen, 1680×1050 Credits: Based off the picture by reway2007. Creative Commons licensed derivative.
Title: The Last Battle Description: My first attempt at Photoshop editing. This is meant to look like a sketch drawn in during the early stages of an invasion. Type: Widescreen, 1680×1050 Credits: My (Koutetsu Kaigun) own picture of an artillery demonstration at the Catillo de San Marcos from my deviantART page and a Breguet biplane from the Library of Congress Flickr page.
If anyone’s having problems, let me know. And yes, I’m still working on that thing I teased you about last time; I’m taking my time with it because I don’t want it to suck. The idea is too cool to waste on suck.
I also want to welcome Koutetsu Kaigun; he’s been an awesome addition to the site, and it made me sqeeeee with joy that content went up without me dragging my pasty white flesh to the computer to do it.
Title: Engine #301 Artist: Koutetsu Kaigun Description: An old engine of the Gainesville Midland line. Type: Widescreen, 1680×1050 Credits: Original work. Creative Commons licensed derivative.
Mousewrites, in her infinite wisdom and everlasting generosity, has deigned to hire me as an assistant to this wonderful endeavor. Aside from any menial tasks she may assign me, she has granted permission for me to post any wallpapers I happen to design. I can not pretend to have half of her skill but I shall do my best to live up to the quality of this site. I am not much of a graphic designer, but I am a passable photographer so most of what you will see from me are cropped photographs which fit, in some way, into the Steampunk theme.
Please feel free to browse through my deviantART page and if you see anything that you would like made into a wallpaper please do not hesitate to ask.
I hope this new year finds you all well and in good health.
Because I’m only doing a few a week rather than one a day, i’m taking more time with this one. I’ve been wanting to do this one for a while, but Mechalith named it for me on Sunday, and thus it is born…
That’s just a work in progress pic, there. I reserve the right to totally change things.
EDIT: Something is seriously screwy with my image uploader (I upgraded to the latest WordPress, and now it’s all weird). I won’t be able to fix the Full version of this until I get home. Sorry about that!

Title: Moleskine Description: A bit dark, but I like the concept a lot. Type: Widescreen, 1680×1050 Credits: Copyright Erik Freitas.
(Oh, I didn’t imply that the 9 days of guest wallpaper would be in a row, did I? My bad. 😉 )
EDIT: Sorry about the bad link; looks like the coding error from yesterday carried over to ALL the posts I set up. I’ll be cleaning them up tonight.

Title: Day Four – Number Two Description: Made me rearrange my icons, but MAN it was worth it! Type: Widescreen, 1680×1050 Credits: Copyright Erik Freitas.
No, the site is NOT abandoned. The holidays (and, clearly, the months around them) were very stressful this year, and so it’s taken me a while to get back in ‘fighting form.’ Still not all the way back.
So, instead of promising (and failing) to do one a day, I’m going to 3 a week. I’m still going to do 365; it’ll just take longer. Plus, as some of you have commented, the slower schedule will mean I have more time to make BETTER wallpapers, not just ‘omgmustgetonedone’.
Not that panic hasn’t produced some nice papers (imho). But maybe I’ll have time to paint that Great Brass Hunter picture I’ve always wanted to do. Which reminds me; I need to buy a new tablet pen. :: makes note::
I’m also looking for someone who would be willing to help out on the site. Duties would include; finding great wallpaper we can link to, creating and maintaining a Steampunk blogroll, and occasionally writing an update post. If they are an artist themselves, they can (and will be encouraged to) post their own wallpaper as well. If that sounds interesting to you, use the comment form to email me. 😀 (there may be other perks as well. 😉 )
Anyway, i’m going to stop rambling and queue up a bunch of papers I’ve had on hold. At least the next couple of days should be good.
Recently I was gifted with 9 amazing images of Eric Freitas’s amazing work by Eric himself. It’s like Santa showing up and saying ‘Here, drive the sled for a while. I’mma go get a mocha.’
For the next 9 days I’ll be posting a wallpaper by Eric, showcasing his beautiful work. I’ve done NOTHING to them, because, honestly, anything I’d do would make them less than they are now. Check out Eric’s site; you can actually own some of these lovely objects.
