Let’s see if this is her:
Tattoo’s, check…
Guns, probably…
Shoots Whiskey, Oh yeah…
It’s a little atypical for SteamPunk fashion, but I really appreciate the imagination and creativity that went into this look. If I were a Sky Pirate, I’d check my guns.

It’s an R-rated, retro-history, [1914 steampunk epic], fourteen years after the first failed Martian invasion. Mankind has rebuilt her cities and [the military is] adapting a lot of the abandoned Martian technology… Think of “Band of Brothers” meets “Star Wars”… It will be cool, steam-powered battle tripods, doomed Cossack cavalry charges, Victorian deco, steampunk Manhattan, 1,500-foot-long armored battle zeppelins, Teddy Roosevelt, souped up tri-planes, blood on steaming metal, sex in the cockpit. The usual… It will have a budget of around $3 million, and be produced by Tripod Entertainment… and is being co-produced by Kevin Eastman (owner of Heavy Metal).
I really hope they get this one right. The 1st Heavy Metal was cool, but old. The 2nd was more modernized, but did little to hold my interest. However THIS should be a big win; I just don’t see how it ties into the other two – maybe there’s a hottie in there somewhere with a steamwork sword… Check it out: “War of the Worlds: Goliath”
Jeff Miller entered this into a design contest, and apparently did nothing else with it (what a waste of talent). It’s an absolutely beautiful and well-thought-out rendering of our dear Princess Leia. However, the magazine cover is fake. I looked up the issue and that’s not it; but, Leia wasn’t really SteamPunk either, so I’ll forgive the fakery. Are those “plans to the Death Star” a euphemism?
It’s not SteamPunk, but it should be. What this guy did is very extremely cool, right down to the vintage “wait a minute to load” program.
