Victoriana is the next 'style' i needed to investigate. Obviously i know that Victorian relates to the reign of Queen Victoria, but as ignorant as it sounds, i'd never heard of the phrase 'Victoriana', so straight to Wikipedia i go, and low and behold, it literally just means 'style from that era'. Good! Simple!
So i then see where the steampunk fans get one of their influences, clothing style is very similar, but the colouring goes a lot darker when applied to steampunk.
When i search DA (Deviant Art), the results are quite vague, as its doing a keyword search, and some people obviously just bung any old crap in their keywords box.
Google on the other hand throws up a lot more pics based on the style. Seems the general consensus is pastel shades, corsets, frills etc. For the clothing anyway. Interior style wise is very plush, big drapes padded seating, huge extravagant picture frames. Lots of gold and red.
Doing a search for Victorian posters was a good idea, loads of cool stuff http://soak-blog.andrewkelsalldes.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/victorian-graphic-designs.jpg.
This i thought would work well as a base for what i need to do.....
These remind me a lot of art nouveau, NOW THERES A GOOD IDEA! http://vepca.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/petrole-hahn.png All of a sudden this is becoming more interesting......
