Ian McQue…good stuff

My current computer background

Display a bit of belief…and this looks like a blast. A fun setting that has great potential for model making and gaming.

He had one of his designs picked up by a model maker industriamechanika.com/blog s'nice

Very cool;
Thanks for sharing this.

Absolutely love it. I'm thinking of making a whole 40K RPG adventure based on this art.

Yep this is a perfect storm for interesting for me…quite a bit down the anime road yet with a realistic fine art touch.

Very keen. I'd love to game in that universe.

Plenty like.

Very cool, i love the idea of a society re-using redundant/broken machinery in new ways. I could certainly see it taking off as a subgenre.

nice eye candy

Looks kinda like steampunk meets Bladerunner. Very nice.

What sort of Imaginarium system would you use to explain away the floating technology?

Magic?

Aether rock?

Tesla electro-lift?

?

Hum…. ScrapPunk that might be the best title I have seen or thought of yet for the stuff rattling around in my head.

While I am not quite so free flight in the images in my head, Ian McQue is one of my recent sources of visual inspiration. Here is his blog link

And FichtenFoo's Blog link
Who is as noted coming out with a nodel of one McQue's airboats….

And 28, I generally just use the Term SuspensorLift for floaty stuff.

For my NeuSpeeder setting/project I use Grav Displacement as the discriptor.

With most of the effort going into the rules of how it works and a lot less about why it works. A procedural of function.

28mmMan, since I'm pretty well ensconced in the 40K milieu, I'd use 'suspensor', or 'repulsor', 'skimmer', 'grav', or any other appropriate term. McQue's art is nothing if not hive-world-ish.

The images on his blog link to slightly larger pictures, but they all look like they're from even larger images. Does anyone know where those might be available?

Come over to the Science Fantasy side and forget the hard science, its so much freer when you aren't hung up on realism! What makes 'em float? Alien power crystals left behind by the orginal occupants of the planet millenia ago. A bit of techno-babble and a wink at advanced technology and there you go. It works for Dr Who….

I am already there!

How about adding this sort of look to the Scrap Punk setting?

I handwave quantum mechanics in a Nano constructed Solid state matrix with a general effect of floating 50 to 200 cm above the mass line…… Changes in displacement height require energy input…..

Infojunky, if you oscillate the underhenge for 15 macro wurbles for 20 bleem, you can facilitate the eckto download of the force wave micro sheilds and implode the Lamda variant for the Kingdom of Valeria!

28mm man, that view is just too gorgeous to clutter up with scrap! You want to be flying an aether crystal bird over that planetscape! That view makes me want to go watch Avatar!
