John Nevarez is an amazing artist I came across at Comic Con, he does a lot for Hollywood studios, such as Alcon, Rovio, Illumination, Disney, Sony and Pixar

I am thrilled to have met, and gotten to discuss his BEAUTIFUL dirigible design with, steam punk enthusiast and incredible artist at Comic Con, Mark Page! Disney Imagineer, fine art painter, Art Center College of Pasadena alum too!

PS, I learned that Brian Kesinger loves his art, and that Armand Baltazar was in the same class as Mark! (and I have posted both of their artwork several times in the past decade)

pure fun adventure, in steampunk, and Star Wars, but better written! EARNED the 2013 Inkpot Award at Comic Con!
It's probably a crime to have a steam punk adventure without a locomotive race... so, here it is!
rail guns!
a locomotive that switches to cat tracks on the fly, when the rails ahead are destroyed by the bad guys!
even steampunk Mandolorian ship!
but best of all, the writing is fantastic! See above example "frilly brass frock, dainty lace and kitten ears!" Reminds me of the superb writing of Firefly! But this adventure moves along fast, without wasting time on a love story
So, this book is a bit more expensive than most at Comic Con, they are typically 20 bucks, but you can buy it online for only 25. Comapred to so many others I saw, and some I bought, the writing and art is SO much better... I've found that most writers forget that their characters are SUPPOSED to have different personalities, and this writer/artist, Fred Perry, did NOT forget!
Each of the characters has a fun different personality, some even have accents. The princess has SASS! The old brass robot is a stuffy Victorian snob, instead of light sabers the good guy has some magic cutlass/saber. The story is damn clever at parodying Star Wars, but with a plot twist, and MORE action.
while looking for steam punk, I came across this book... low on steam punk, but, interesting take on submarines, as blimps - and a real use of the snow mobiles I recently posted
the artist forgot the one important thing about floating objects, the center of gravity must be low, or it will simply roll over. That's why dirigibles and blimps have the passenger compartment and engines down low.
great artwork, but no steam
I was instantly reminded of the snow planes I posted in May http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2022/05/the-1939-nipawin-annual-derby-was.html
believe me or not, no steam, just princesses out on military missions. So, unless you're into princess fighter pilots, princess aircraft carrier commanders, etc etc princess power run amock - skip this.
