However, one has found me!
Ewark made the brushes used in several posts.

Hey all! No, I’m not dead, I’ve just been very, very busy. For one, I’ve been running a tabletop RPG for 10 people (ye gods, I must be mad) that has taken up a lot of my free time. Yes, of course there are airships in it. It’s a reality-bending modern game set in Oklahoma. […]

Title: Steampunk GraffitiDescription: Brad says “Latest graffiti design using Steampunk style.” This is a pretty cool reimagining of the steampunk style. It’s got a lot of steampunk elements, but is very different from a purely Victorian or classical feel. This is the more subversive side of steampunk.

Title: Judith and HolofernesDescription: I stumbled on Aly Fell’s work on CGPortfolio.com the other day, and was blown away by his paintings. The way he does faces, in particular, is amazing.
