Alright, owing that many if not all members of the Steampunk world are non-violent by nature, it occurs to me that a Pirate commits violence for a living, usually non-fatal, in order to pull off some…Continue

Julien McBain replied to Master-Sgt. Orville Rook Hewish's discussion Need help from you tinkerers out there !"Honestly I use a spray-black to base coat the project and then use Citadel Paints for my projects. It's expensive, but the result is phenomenal. For brass colours, I use warpstone bronze or Gehenna's Gold for brass tones.

http://steampunkceo.blogspot.com/2011/12/corporate-machine.htmlThe Corporate Machine is an issue that seems near and dear to the heart of all steampunks. In this article, I challenge your perceptions of what the "Corporate Machine" really is, and define a new method of dealing with the idea.See More

"Hear, hear. Well said.
An influx of cheap plastic tat can only expand the market for the good stuff, if for no other reason than the exposure of more folks to out little aesthetic. The ones who will buy the knock-offs are not, have not been, and…"

Business Math and Guilt Math
Posted on April 13, 2011 at 5:30am 1 Comment 2 Likes
When calculating the amount to charge for your products, there are two types of math that are commonly used. Guilt math, which states that you must charge the absolute minimum for your product and labour because it is wrong to charge people too much; and Business Math, where you set a price based on the actual retail value of your product.
Something that needs to be addressed first is the issue of money. There are many artists, having struggled to make it by while…
Continue Monitizing your Art
Posted on April 6, 2011 at 11:35am 2 Comments 4 Likes
Recently I have been watching several prominent members of the chat worried about how they can be Steampunk Artists and still manage to make it by. When talking to them about their art and how much they charge for it, it was unsurprising that they almost all charge very little above the materials cost because they feel guilty about charging people money.
I would like to take a few moments to talk about Monetizing your Art, Capitalism, and what it really means. When you…

My wife and I are separated and I have lost my job at the Vatican. From this moment forward, I shall record my life in this journal so that my children, or any that come after me, may judge me as I deserve.
I was at World's End, after my separation with my beloved Rachel, and found a young lady there that was in distress. As a Knight of the Church, former or not, I was compelled to help the young woman. She told me something was stolen from her, and true to form I decided…

"What happened to "for as long as you both shall live"?
Pope Luke looked at me furious when I delivered the news of Rachel's return to the White Rose Armada and our subsequent separation.
"What else was I supposed to do?" I asked, "Commodore Draven Kane is a vampire, and therefore a sworn enemy of the Church, Was I supposed to give it a pass when she accepted his promotion?"
"A wife's blaspheme does not warrant divorce!" the Pope snapped, "many…
