Those are some huge shoulders. Not a fan of them, but certainly screen accurate! Hope this turns out well.


No doubt. It is very much 80s smah-up with 30s/40s.

But, the outline of that black suit, and her hair, define a major part of the look of that film.

Her entrance is classic. BTW, from a design element standpoint, the Tyrell corporation in the film is represented using triangles. The building is a pyramid, the coporate logo is trangular, so Rachel, a product of the company should be stack of triangles as well, don't you think?

Yes, I kind of see what you're getting at. Never really noticed that until now!

Slightly off topic... wherefore have all the steampunk movies gone? Aliens, Blade Runner, etc. all had a great look and feel to them. While I love Trek (it was believable despite sometimes being a little sterile), I also love the feel of something having familiar workings despite being technically advanced. Not a lot of that seen now, and while Star Wars had it to some extent -- welding tools, pipes, wrenches when working on a HYPERDRIVE lol -- it's not very prevalent anymore. I wonder why.

I blame microwaves, the service economy and Trek Next Gen.

They took all the heaviness and mechanization out of technology.

The Next Gen Enterprise looks like a suburban kitchen appliance.

Nothing clanky or clunky could possibly be sci-fi, right? Everything will be slick and antiseptic in the future, right?

Please.

I miss steam punk. I want to see more of it.

Although, technically, Blade Runner is cyber punk. Steam Boy is pure steam punk. Golden compass might be argued to have some steam punk elements, though....

Firefly/Serenity had a sort of steampunk aesthetic... though they, sadly, are also gone.

Stardust - a movie based on the story by Neil Gaiman - is coming out this August. I don't know how steampunky it will be, but it does contain the requisite Airship ;)

And I'm envious of the Rachel costuming! I've always wanted to do a Bladerunner costume myself! Looking forward to seeing your final product!
