# About me
My love for Scifi started in the age of 6 while reading most of Jules Vernes works. After years of costume and prop building in "another galaxy far, far away", discovering Steampunk in 2010 was instantly a perfect match!SciFi in the victorian style of Jule Verne. What could be better?
My approach on Steampunk design is quite simple: victorian aestetics combined with functionality.
There are many out there defining steampunk by simply bashing brass tubing together. The more the better.
I have a different opinion:
1. If you take a look at the victorian age, you will soon realize that one essence of it was, that even machines and purely functional equipment was made to look like a unique and elegant piece of art.
2. Every piece on every gadget and contraption I conceive should still look like it is there for a reason and has a plausible function instead of "just been put there".
To use a phrase of Walt Disney they must have at least a sense of" the plausible implausible".
3. An overall coherent concept should be visible throughout the whole design. I'm not a fan of looking like a walking flea-market.
That's the design philosophy I try to follow.

You're welcome.
Just to get an idea, how much are you asking for a commission let's say similar to your last one posted or the Louis Armstrong?
I've faved your commission post because I find your work very appealing and might approach you for a portrait for this little gallery project of mine arsenal-best.deviantart.com/ga⦠.

Hi!!
thanks for writing me and sorry for the delay of my answer (sorry for my terrible English too hahaha).
I saw your project, and I really like it. They are beautiful WOW!
For a portrait like that of Armstrong I asked 70 euros, but the price changes depending on the complexity of the background in general. For example, they paid me the steampunk commission 120 euros, because the background was very detailed. In any case, if you are interested we can find an agreement on price and time: is not a problem.
For any questions, let me know (I hope it is understandable

Thank you for the information and happy you like the project.
I will keep you in my commission stash, but don't expect anything soon, since there isn't a dress or outfit yet finished, that I would see your beautiful style the most fitting for. So it may take a while before I get back to you with a commission.
Till then.
take care
PS: btw, your english is quite alright.
