I loved how the Tolmek air ships were frighteningly huge but looked so fucking ramshackle and bolted together. Being on one must be fucking terrifying, it'd feel like it was about to break apart at any moment.

I would love to see the artist do a modern interpretation of this, like seeing military style mechs in the middle east used by NATO and US forces contrasted with ramshackle ones used by Rebel forces kitbashed from Toyota Trucks and construction mechs.

Well it's suposed to show 1920 battle of warsaw

If you read the comic there are really intense moments where one of the bigger ships get blown up and hundreds of corpses fall down into the smaller planes' choppers. It's horrifying,
Miyazaki pulls no punches.

>Build big, bulky armour with mounted guns
>Trigger mechanism is outside it, controlled by big, bulky glove
Not sure if that's the point of the pic due to dieselpunk, or just someone was retarded when drawing it

What's punk about it?

What's punk about -punk stuff, save for cyberpunk?

What is Dieselpunk? Gray Steampunk with black exhaust instead of white steam?

This

If steampunk is "aesthetics over form", then dieselpunk is literally "just aesthetics". It's like you people never heard about art deco and functionalism.

Kinda.

Higher tech with the aesthetics/feel of stuff from 1920s-1950s more or less.

Can we not have this bullshit semantics argument over and over again

End of XIX century tech basically.

Neat. I like it

It's what this user describes Bunch of faggots have some serious lacks in basic education, so they are unfamiliar with interwar design of pretty much anything, but since they are familiar with concept of steampunk, they've coinded "dieselpunk".

That's steampunk, you idiot. Dieselpunk is explicitly interwar.

You know the war is shit of even your robutts are shell shocked.

>It's like you people never heard about art deco and functionalism
Most dieselpunk is focused on vehicles and equipment, not architecture. For that, the primary influence would be a mix of film noir, and copy-pasting those huge ass cities predicted in the 1930s with a massive urban megalopolis out of Blade Runner.

I know that there are real life vehicles that got the art deco shine (trains, cars) but the focus is on grit, not glamour. They draw influence from military vehicles, with the plates and rivets exaggerated to immediately say "this is something fantastical, not practical".

Fuck you. Words have meanings.

If you want to convey ideas to other people you need to use words.

Lots of interesting subcategories as well, usually playing on different period art styles.

From grungy angular industrial types to art deco utopian style.

And we all know what "dieselpunk" means. You want dieselpunk to mean something different than it does for everyone else. The fact that this discussion of semantics comes up is enough evidence that you know what dieselpunk usually represents.

Does dieselpunk also cover what the 30s-40s thought the future would be like?

...

Yes.

Depending on how fantastical or high tech you want it, yes.

how would this thing ever be able to fly

are those authentic?

They're from real magazines as far as I know

there should be more vidya/animu/tabletop with dieselpunk setting

Their turning that art of Eastern European dieselpunk mechs into a video game called Iron Harvest. You can get your 1920s Battletech boner raging that way.

as a polish i am aware of that. you know that art that inspired iron harvest comes from poland and referes to a polish-soiet war of 1920

Early issues of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics were a hell of a thing.

A fuck ton of thrust effectively pulling it through the air.

>Most dieselpunk is focused on vehicles and equipment, not architecture
Those affected EVERYTHING, you stupid piece of shit. Fucking train engines were designed around art deco and most of weapons were still build with functionalist (don't read it as "practical") design finish.
Jesus, it's like you really are dense and consider fucking design movement to solely single branch of creativity, architecture.

The whole obsession with streamlined shapes over boxy shapes, despite not exactly grasping aerodynamics, is pure art deco.

>And we all know what "dieselpunk" means
I will take logical fallacies for 500.

This is part of the problem at hand. The retarded assumption that "If I assume X, then EVERYONE assumes X".
I'm not the user you replied to, but I'm going to bet a fiver that mine, his and yours definition of dieselpunk is COMPLETELY different.
> The fact that this discussion of semantics comes up is enough evidence that you know what dieselpunk usually represents.
Oh, wait, you really are retarded

All aesthetics, no substance.

Personally I like my diesel-punk more on the ground then in the air, mostly cause everyone does diesel-air

>black exhaust instead of white steam?

steam engines still produce black exhaust, the steam is in the moving mechanism you fucking brainlet

it wouldn't even be able to take off or land with that bomb and the positioning of its landing gear
