A bit of world building for a series I’m making, brought to real life! Thoughts?

If you have been enjoying my hat designs or have a hat idea and want it drawn consider commissioning me https://vgen.co/AziJ_Designs

At home in a dusty study, the Cryptatrope uses precisely arranged pinhole tunnels to direct light toward multiple focal points, producing stereoscopic 3D animations and hidden text when spun.

Insert a glow stick and give it a spin. It works using geometry, not electronics.

And since I couldn’t stop at simple 3D animations, this version projects four distinct perspectives. As a result, the animations can be viewed in stereo from three different head positions, creating a stepped parallax effect as you move left and right.

I’m also working on another version where you can add your own secret messages.

This has been my focus for the past several months. I hope you enjoy it!

Am a delivery guy and discovered this on one of my rounds

So on the outside is a bookshelf so I have a hidden room kind of lol.

And on the other side are pipes.

clock insert is just under 2”, so maybe 50-55mm? Just got the clock/lamp and the clock insert doesn’t work. We pulled the insert out and cannot see any indication of a possible replacable battery so guessing it is just a matter of replacing the insert. No luck with google lens, so hoping someone knows of a link where a replacement can be ordered.

I posted the hat concept a while ago, the outfit draws inspiration from wet plate victorian photographers, traditional marionette dolls.

The outfit has decorative string, an apron, a dress with high neck

So, I have been (Theoritically) Into steampunk concept for a while and I am also an old fan of cyberpunk, but i never really had time to appretiate actual steampunk classic material in the past years due many complex reasons such as Local war and many other hurdles, however in this past week while passing time waiting for my midiocre exams to come I have been reading a digital version of the core Tephra steampunk Ttrpg book and its just awesome so far, this post alone wont be enought to discuss all the lovely and interesting tid bits here and there I found so far (and i had yet to finish the book!) But I just came across this piece of art for a gnome in the book and GOD I cant even gather words to descripe how amazing this master piece of art is!! Its just beyound magnificient!! Everytime I look at it I can already imagine the pre-movement as the Gnome rolls out from behind some barrel and jump into the chair and aims his large rifle to shoot amidist a wild brawl inside of a tavern/meeting hall/house or any large in-doors area really!

Its... its just perfect! I love this single illustration beyond words!
