Idea to concepts

The idea for my theme is a conpempory moment called Steampunk which is an fantasy time period of the 19th century which widely uses steam powered technology. This idea came to me from watching movies like Metropolis, Lost Children, Steamboy and Sky Captain.
This time period inspired me to attend the War museum and Industry museum within manchecter.
Please see some of the following photographs and internet reasearch.

Early concept work



I sent this concept work to the Epic forums to get some feedback on which character design do they like more.
