A few days ago I launched my first campaign ever - for a steampunk coffee table artbook.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/peculiarengines/mortimers-handbookI love steampunk but I don't believe in the cog_glued_to_hat approach. I like to see the Rule of Cool working behind everything tagged steampunk. Most posts / images found online and tagged as steampunk are anything but - sometimes they are retrofuture, sometimes dieselpunk or clockpunk, and many a times pure junkpunk; that's when people glue together junk and paint it with copper spray. Steampunk is romantic and dirty, is working albeit cumbersome and is hopeful. The genre is so well established yet so many miss the mark! In my book I put together a lot of designs and sketches designed specifically for his project and - if it picks up - it will be followed by another book on vehicles and airships.
I don't have a video for the campaign - my English speaking skills are vague at best and I don't look at all the part for a pitch. I trust my work will be enough to help me kick start publishing it, so, fingers crossed.
