Neon lights glittering in midnight rain. Girls, glam, grime, guns, goth and all that is good.

This account is mostly visual inspiration for, and distraction from, the comic I should be drawing right now: Strange Aeons: A dieselpunk thrill-venture!

Neo-victorian / steampunk. Sometimes classy, mostly just brassy. When it’s done well, it’s wonderful… note that none of these dapper gentlemen has a fucking Nerf Maverick anywhere in sight.

Edit:

I described those fine gentlemen, which seem to be getting some unanticipated attention, as steampunk / neo-Victorian. However, it’s been brought to my attention that the outfits are rather more based on Regency-era fashions, from a half-century earlier — the era of Pride & Prejudice.

Easy mistake to make if you’re not a fashion student (and I’m not). I will stand by that it looks way cooler than what’s usually called steampunk. Most of you seem to agree! I think we’ve all learned a little something today. *single tear*

Edit #2: I didn’t know where these pics originally came from (they’ve been on my HD for years) but “moarpikachuplz” has the info:
