Inspired by this neat little project, I decided I wanted to reimagine the Star Wars universe in a steampunk context. I know, whenever anyone reimagines anything, they either make it a) adult and edgy (99%) or b) steampunk (1%), so I'm not getting any originality points, but it's still a pretty exciting idea for me. Meaning I'll be bored of it in a week and start drawing dogs wearing hats or something.
Lord Vader
More machine than man, Vader is the Empire's most decorated General and a very powerful practitioner of the Force's dark arts. He is obsessed with communicating with the spirits of the dead, spending every sleepless night trying in vain to contact his lost love. Twisted and broken in body and mind, Vader is driven with sadistic passion.
He is a master with the traditional weapon of Force champions, the Phlogisticated Aether Torch, more commonly referred to as the phlogisabre.

Phlogisticated Aether Torch?
That is seriously awesome.

"Sir Obi-Wan sparked his phlogisabre. Its writhing, gaseous blade threw wild shadows across the metal walls of the corridor as he stepped forward to face his dark, hulking nemesis."
Wow. This is inspiring and awesome and just...wow.
I love every vision so far (the most recent I saw was Jabba). Please keep them coming.
More kinds of cool than I can even say.
Good show, old man!
this rules
Just remarkable. Utterly remarkable. Great job!
Dude. PHAT!
Hmmm....I'm currently working on a steampunk/alternate-history novel involving H. P. Lovecraft, Percival Lowell, a mutated Emily Bronte, zeppelin-pirates, the fungi from Yuggoth, Cthulhu, Nyarlathotep, and steampowered robots. If you'd be interested in perhaps illustrating this novel (which I'll be publishing online as a serial in twelve installments), please contact me! I may very well be able to make it worth your while....
this steampunk of yours is kinda cool! i love this pic of Vader, kudos.
Totally awesome. Kudos.
This is my desktop now. Danke.
Your awesomeness knows no bounds.
The phlogisabre truly made my day. Nothing better than a good chemistry reference.
Wow, that's just freaking rad.
This is way too awesome.
dang, I was doing a stempunk star wars thingy too. I only got a couple pieces done. That's pretty damn good work... I'm jealous though...

Hey! you got boing boing'd too! It's an honor to be on your link list, kind sir.
These are fantastic.
I now have a rasterbator-d lord vader adorning a wall of my house.
Hanging out for more.
I was never scared of the Sith Lords (including Darth) of Lucasfilm rendition, but the steampunk one is terrifying.
"Solo always said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is Darth Vader."

This may be the most brilliant thing I've seen this year.
Beautiful art, keep it up...
Very clever. I cannot wait to see what you do with R2.
Simply amazing.
Your Steampunk SW art is just awesome especially Lord Vader. I can't wait to see your interpretations of C-3PO, R2-D2 and the Millennium Falcon. Beautiful work!
dave, josh: Thanks! I've been wanting to use a reference to phlogiston forever, and this finally gave me an opportunity.
wade rockett: Haha, great stuff.
pegritz: That sounds like a seriously awesome novel, and I'd definitely like to read it. However, I'm juggling a number of personal projects as it is and don't think I'll have the time to take on another. Good luck with that, though!
elan: Sorry, your links seem to be cut off. I'd definitely like to check out your take on the Steampunk Star Wars idea.
Chris Furniss: Thanks man! I enjoy the show every week!
sparkythespunkydog: Steampunk villains are all about the fearsome dandies (which would be an awesome band name). They're not gay per se, more like the Victorian metrosexual.
Everyone else: Thanks!
Huzah, Huzah!
Here is my hope that this steampunk creation will bring you as much joy as Steam Trek has brought me.

*Gasp* That is the most awesome thing I've ever seen.
Wow, that is a brilliant Darth Vader. Nicely done!
That long right arm is an especially nice touch.
Holy crap - this is great - love it!
Now that makes for an awesome desktop!
This stuff is chillingly awesome, dude, I love it. You gotta get this stuff on deviantART.
