I find it amazing that Steampunk is supposed to be inspired by Victorian era aesthetics and ideals, but always seems to look more like comic books,  and Final Fantasy.  Also, as a side note, there is literally no reason to limit yourself to brown and tones of grey:

I’m just saying – think out great Steampunk could be if we focused less on incorporating more overtly sexual designs and more on the use of colors and subtler suggestive designs.
