Steam-punk Timepiece, 2011. Digital vector art. Illustrator CS2.
This is part of the logo to a series of short stories locked safely inside my head. That is to say I will probably never flesh them out fully and write them down. The series would be called 'Times of War'. It would be vignettes about a world embroiled in battle - where a world wide shortage of combustibles have nearly brought a powerful nation to its knees. Their foes hold the last remaining fuels on the planet and bitter combat ensues. Small portions of the larger picture are painted through the eyes of the various story tellers - a solider, a nurse, a scientist etc. That's seems pretty typical. I just find it funny the steam punk genre never seems to mention what happens to a planet after all this burning of material to create that steam.
