Newbie here!

First off, I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm 'Monty', a 23 year old grad student. While I'm not studying (I usually am) I usually end up reading about various interesting topics on the internet, doodling (I'm not confident to call it 'drawing' or anything particularly artistic), writing, and sleeping when I can spare the time.

Second, I'm incredibly new to the concept of dieselpunk. I used to lurk about on brass goggles and some other steam punk forums, but I felt it never quite had the atmosphere or aesthetic I had been looking for. It's only recently that I learned about dieselpunk, and I am completely fascinated.

To be honest, my interest in the various 'punks' was started with a fascination with airships. I actually stumbled across this site looking for material on airships and weaponry, especially with a WWI/Interbellum period influence. In the spare time I have for the aforementioned doodling and writing, I've been toying around with the (perhaps overused, but nonetheless appealing to me) concept of a ragtag crew of an airship for hire / tramp-ship.

I'm very excited to have found this forum! Any advice on where to look for inspiration, more dieselpunk art/literature, please feel free to post suggestions!
