Gear brushes used in my pictures are from several people. Unfortunately, I've lost the credit file of who all of those people are.
However, one has found me!
Ewark made the brushes used in several posts.

Title: Destroy Bot looks for Love (Widescreen edition)Description: Widescreen, Dr. Steel edition. The solders over at the ToySolders forum asked if Destroy Bot could be made widescreen. I am a benevolent dictator over here at SteampunkWallpaper.com. I probably won’t do EVERY wallpaper in both aspect ratios, but if there’s one you want particularly, send me a comment, […]

Title:Letter from Abigail Description: Dearest Grandfather, Lyra received your generous gift, and adores it. We, however, have no idea what it is, and Lyra will not explain it. Also, it seems to have changed the cat into some kind of hidious mechanical contraption. Could you possibly inform us of what exactly you have given your […]

Check these out, aren’t they Nifty? Benjamin of The Idea Can contacted me to offer up these sweet wallpapers. Unlike me, he gives you a bunch of sizes, including cell phones! AND, as a super sweet bonus, he’s made downloadable moving screensavers of some of them. How f’ing awesome is that?? Thanks, Benjamin!

Title: ‘Gaslamps’ 2Description: Another ‘lamps on a wall’. I really like doing these, because I have to handpaint the light when it goes out of the original picture’s frame. Am I a geek? yes. EDIT: Ok, ok, I know these are lightbulbs, not flames. I just liked the title. Here, I’ll put quotes around it.Type: […]

Title: Mechanic’s BadgeDescription: This popped into my head on the way home tonight. I had originally thought of it as a steampunk doctor’s badge (my robot is broken! Help!), but the caduceus (the winged staff surrounded by snakes) is not actually the medical badge. So, instead, here is the badge of the Aeronaught.Type: Fullscreen, 1280×1024Credits: Based on […]

Title: Edgecrumb’s Flying Toasting MachineDescription: Dusted off my 3D skills for this one. 3DS Max, lots of Grunge textures, and a few hours of pounding my head into the desk. Homage to After Dark’s iconic Flying Toasters screensaver. The wings are based on da Vinci’s flying machine, though it’s hard to tell at this angle. Flying toasters of love, indeed!Type: […]

Title: Broken WindowDescription: This one suggested by someone (I’m trying to find your post! if it was you, please comment!), but it’s the first one I’ve not liked so far. I’ll redo it at some point, but I must sleep tonight. Le Sigh. I guess I’m not going to make a winner every time.Type: Fullscreen, […]
