The Art Of Dmitriy Khristenko: Steampunk Insects & Other Clockwork Creations

Steampunk: In a nutshell (Via)


Steampunk is a fantastic movement that has achieved ever increasing popularity over the last few years. In case you've never heard of the genre, its a visual style that embraces victorian era aesthetics and technology powered by steam. These statues, made by Deviantart user Dmitriy Khristenko, are a mixture of mythical creatures, extinct beasts and mechanical insects made from gears and various other mechanical parts.

You'll be amazed at how detailed each piece is! I took a few minutes on each one trying to figure out where the different parts came from. Some of my favorite pieces that he created are a variety of motorcycles made from various pieces of watches. They are visually amazing and I'd absolutely love to have one of these gracing my art shrine shelf. The complete collection is viewable after the break!
