Steampunk Assignment

For this assignment we were set the task of designing a Steampunk concept from the choice of either a character, weapon or vehicle of sorts. I decided to go down the route of designing a vehicle in a Steampunk style as I thought this would be the most interesting and the most freedom to play around with when.

To start off the assignment I began by researching into the subject of Steampunk, I looked at a variety of concepts and photographs of anything that was related to Steampunk such as mechanical objects, cogs and gears, blimps and Victorian styles.

Once I had found some inspiration for my own concept I then began by sketching out three rough ideas of the routes I could take, I created one character, one weapon and one vehicle and decided that my vehicle concept would be the most interesting to take forwards into the final design.

I then researched more into the elements of my concept including blimps and sailing ships and using photographs I started by sketching out some rough studies of these objects before combining them together into the final design.

Once I was confident with the studies I had made I then sketched out my final design in rough combining my initial rough concept with the studies to create a blimp airship carrier design and then traced over this in pen to neaten up and finalise before adding colour. 

I am very pleased with my final design and feel with the chosen colour scheme and design I have captured the overall look of Steampunk design and taken this into my own concept.
