This could bring about the age of airships we’ve been waiting for.

Skybound Metropolis: Steampunk Elegance

SA vibrant steampunk metropolis where copper airships hover alongside intricately designed high-rise buildings.

#SynthArt #SDXL
The image depicts a vibrant steampunk metropolis with massive copper airships and intricately designed high-rise buildings. The architecture combines Victorian elegance with futuristic elements, featuring ornate balconies, windows, and spires. The city is bathed in warm sunlight, highlighting the copper surfaces and mechanical details. A river flows through the city, adding contrast and depth. The background includes a clear blue sky with fluffy clouds, enhancing the fantastical atmosphere.

Love @billmckibben.bsky.social The Crucial Years. Mix of grim and good news, useful prompts. "If America’s Dept of Energy wasn’t...committed to the idea... “there is no energy transition” we could begin, you know, planning." This edition has solar-powered airships!

Me: Good lord, we're in the trenches!! What are we doing?! Storming the beaches of Normandy?!

@aiai.bsky.social: But there's no beaches 😅.

Me: It's the first WW2 battle that popped in my head 😭.

The fact that they're jumping down from airships with parachutes and have a gold colossus 🫠.

Let's build a giant airship and sail into the sky.

For decades, airships hit a physics wall.

The "Ballast Paradox": Drop heavy cargo, and your airship rockets skyward. Or the "Square-Cube Law": to lift more, they become cartoonishly huge and flimsy. 😩 It seemed like a dead end for heavy-lift.

The Future of Cargo is Looking UP... literally. And it's not what you think.

We've been talking about drones & hyperloops, but a quiet revolution is bubbling in the skies: Hybrid Airships. Forget the Hindenburg – these aren't your grandpa's blimps. #FutureOfTransport #Logistics #Airships

Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Digital painting of a bustling steampunk city with Victorian-inspired architecture. Airships and dirigibles float in the sky, while the streets are lined with steam-powered vehicles and intricate machinery.

Just today and tomorrow left to pre-order SHOESHINE BOY & CIGARETTE GIRL (after that, they’re just orders). So I’m continuing this 🧵 of what early readers have said so you know what to expect. Pre-order links here: www.starsandsabers.com/books/shoesh...

Today’s blurb:
"This book has everything: A con woman with a heart of gold. The idealistic young man who wants to give her the moon. The swindler determined to drive a wedge between the young lovers. All set in a retro-futuristic Toronto with hovercars and airships galore. What's not to love?" - Rachael K. Jones, two-time Hugo Award Finalist and author of Every River Runs to Salt

Dune by Frank Herbert

It’s just great. Haven’t read it since high school; loved it then, loved it more now. Even though the recent movies certainly influenced my inner eye while reading, the incredible world building and characterization shone through. #booksky 🪐📚💙
The cover of Dune by Frank Herbert. Depicts a shrouded character in a desert facing a giant, oncoming sand worm. The worm has a massive mouth ringed with teeth. Two airships fly above like dragonflies.

Erebonia would actually be so easy to defeat you just blow up their single poorly protected Iron Mine and the entire country grinds to a halt those big ass gates at their borders don't mean shit when everyone's got jet plane airships

Hey! It’s Saturday morning and I’m stremmin more FFXII! I think I’m near the end?? Who knows? Certainly not me. Twitch.tv/captstickfigure
The cover art of Final Fantasy XII (Greatest Hits), which is to say many characters in a bundle together in the center (similar to a movie poster) over a background that shows a cityscape at the bottom and airships in the sky, where all the characters' faces have been replaced with stick figure faces. Text reads "PlayStation 2" at the top with the PlayStation logo and "GREATEST HITS" below that, all in a red band. Below, over the image is "FINAL FANTASY XII" in a classic FF Font. At the bottom left, the ESRB "T" Rating and in the bottom right the logo for SQUARE ENIX.

The City She Keeps Upstairs
Her thoughts rise quietly, assembling entire neighborhoods before she takes another step.
#ImaginativeMind #WhimsicalSurrealism #DreamArchitecture #InnerWorld #GenAI #SynthArt #AIart #aiartist #aiartcommunity #GenerativeArt #AIchallenge #BuilderofNightmares
A young girl stands in profile at the center of a bright, bustling street, her figure stylized with soft proportions and smooth, painterly detail. She has pale skin, large blue eyes looking forward with calm concentration, and neatly curled blond hair framing her face. She wears a light blue long-sleeved blouse with a small bow at the collar and a warm yellow skirt that falls to her knees, evoking a mid-century, storybook aesthetic. From the back of her head rises a vast, cloud-like formation that replaces ordinary hair with imagination made visible. Within the cloud sits an entire miniature city, densely packed with pastel houses, towers, staircases, balconies, domes, and rooftops stacked in organic layers. Small airships, balloons, and whimsical flying machines drift around the cloud, suspended as if caught in slow, thoughtful motion. Below her, the street is lively and detailed, lined with nostalgic storefronts, signage, pedestrians, and vintage cars parked along the curb. The buildings are colorful and cheerful, yet grounded and orderly, contrasting with the boundless complexity above. The sky is clear and blue, and sunlight washes the scene in a clean, optimistic glow. The overall atmosphere suggests quiet wonder, creativity held just beneath the surface, and a mind rich enough to carry entire worlds while standing still. Keywords imagination visualized, surreal portrait, whimsical cityscape, childhood wonder, pastel palette, floating architecture, dream cloud, inner world, nostalgic street, creative mind Attribution Clearly identified as AI-generated; use is permitted for non-commercial creative projects.

I don’t have anything to show, but some jokes about steampunk smut between a friend and I turned into me hammering out outlines for a novel trilogy, including world histories, automaton notes, religions, mapping airships, and the biology of cryptozoological living zeppelins.

The Haven(a defunct oil rigs, an ocean site for automated airships to dump garbage that has grown to a soggy landfill, the remains of a ocean wind turbine farm, & the flotillas that connect them) only continues to exist to be a smuggler's shipping port for the fewest of shady deals.
