Description Famed adventurer Sir Percival Talbot Archibald Wallace-Montagu III sends a probe to the edge of space before launching his own Aero-dreadnought to investigate the strange atmospheric anomalies troubling the Empire.

Someone asked me to do a Steampunk style poster for their science project to take photos at the edge of space, but it demanded a story.

The science project worked!

I quite agree with ~Stargirl41393. This poster artwork is very invigorating and satisfying. Surely it has a life beyond the science project session. It deserves more exposure.

This is a nice departure from the plain ol' box that normally goes up with weather balloons. Wonderful job with all the different textures (the box, balloon, Earth, etc.) as well.

Thanks for the positive comments. I am an engineer by trade and in this modern world design is all about function. Style is only to make something 'sleek' or 'tactile'. Here I had an opportunity to imitate my Victorian forebears. I wonder what the actual box will look like.

Hmm. I've never heard style described that way. It makes sense though.
