General Style Inspiration

These images below show The general style I am looking achieve for my project. For the robotic world i'm looking at a industrial built world but with steampunk elements. For example, cogs, pipes and bronze colours - rather than just grey industrial.

The idea is that almost everything on the planet the robots have made are from industrial materials. Even the houses and furniture. Because the robots are highly influenced by Earth they have even created animals and forests in mechanical form. These steampunk animal items below are examples of how my design could look.

Copper and Gold like colour seems to be mostly used

A clear example of a steampunk style creature

Looks like it could fall apart at any minute

What I love about the style is how everything looks like it has put together in a haphazard way. It looks like it could fall apart at any minute. With my designs that is what I want to achieve, I want the robots to literally have dangling bits and machinery hanging as if they are falling apart. Steampunk industrial will influence my design but that doesn't mean It will solely look like this, I will have elements of the design mixed with futuristic qualities. This brings me on to my next post in which I will talk about two games that further help show what my vision entails.
