Videogame Artist Gives Star Wars a Gorgeous Steampunk Re-Imagining

[LogicNProportion]

Steampunk Boba makes me weep.

Everything else wasn't bad...

EDIT: Missed the Stormtrooper somehow. Now THAT is badass!

I loooooove steampunk so much, too bad that there are so few steampunk games. I would've loved to see a huge rpg/mmo in steampunk style.

These are ridicolously cool, love em all although if I am to make a complaint is that I imagined Luke being younger as he looks really old there.

 

[archabaddon]

I think Star Wars has been done to death. Although I can appreciate putting a new twist on it, it's still a twist on something that's been done to death (see: Robot Chicken Star Wars, Family Guy Star Wars, Lego Star Wars, etc., etc.).

I love Steampunk too, but I fear it's going to become cliché for every re-imagining of every sci-fi tale. I'm calling it now: Steampunk BSG will be next.

Luke looks like shit. I know he's supposed to be a down-under, greasy machinist, but doesn't he even have a shaving razor? I love the gamble he took on Han in his role as a gun-slinging smuggler, and I think it worked. I love the ornate, government-standard plating on the Stormtrooper, too. Boba Fett?! Awesome.

Anyway(and though I know I'm a total hypocrite in saying this), I'm getting sick of Steampunking everything like that'll make it better. At the very least we need new Steampunk archetypes. Why would royalty wear goggles too? If they're rich, they shouldn't be in places where the steam would reach their pretty eyes. Goggles only make sense on the downtrodden working class who actually do the work on the steam engines. I guess for a Princess, Leia is kind of down-trodden...

Didn't really like them. They all look very old, what the hell? Leia's cleavage seemed very out of place with that 60-year-old grey hair. Also, Han's cleavage makes him look like an old sex offender. Just what I thought while seeing them.

 

[YodaUnleashed]

Some absolutely fantastic and imaginative 'interpretations' of classic star wars characters though, Darth Vader and R2-D2 do seem to be two glaring omissions.

 

[zauxz]

I find the lack of Darth Vader disturbing.

 

[Dana22]

Star Wars + Steampunk...BEST IDEA EVER!!!

Steampunk theme is so flexible, it could work with every franchise you can imagine.

 

[Chased]

Never got into steampunk, but this is really cool. The Boba Fett one is the most creative out of the lot imo.

 

[TheHecatomb]

This really is old news. CGSociety.org had a big Star Wars Steampunk challenge over a year ago, which had some really stunning entries by 3D artists from around the globe, too.

 

[Monshroud]

I really like these images. I have seen some other Steampunk Star Wars drawings and they are a bit over the top in my opinion. I think these are right on the money.

 

[Shjade]

About the Luke steam tool thing, am I the only one who saw it and immediately assumed this was pre-Jedi Luke using some kind of farming tool back on the homestead?

 

[imnot]

is there anything steampunk can't make good?
oh right...

[JBGigas]

Haha! Gotta love the tea-sipping jabba

 

[Drentics]

It's like Stars Wars...with sideburns.

I must have more.

 

[CrazyGirl17]

As a fan of both steampunk and sci-fi, this really caught my attention. I'll have to look more into this...

 

[Frosty676]

the jawa didn't really change much did it?

luke looks more like obiwan should, otherwise there all pretty good.

Agree.

Java looks like a normal Java, guess you can't really change much with them.

 

[Ensiferum]

To be honest I don't like any of these as "Star Wars" characters. They look okay on their own I guess but honestly I don't get this whole new "ZOMG STAR WARZ IS SOO AWESOME AS STEAMPUNK" craze. Why not just make your own original universe and characters?
