"A modern marvel that spawned a golden age of mechanical wonders, the Difference Engine was invented by Lord Charles Babbage, and stands as a testament to his legacy. Spinning nearly 60 yards of gearage, it is capable of processing dozens of calculations and statistics requests simultaneously. This contemporary construction makes use of traditional elements manufactured by Colt & Maxwell Typing Engines, while also utilizing state-of-the-art ancillary output Engines from C&Z Computronics, including an automatic card-puncher." --- I wanted to branch out a bit with this project and try for something slightly stylized, akin to the aesthetic of Dishonored 2. This was also a good exercise in researching and worldbuilding, as the original concept was grounded in the world of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling's steampunk classic, 'The Difference Engine'. --- This project was based on concept art by Jake Zetter, please check out his other work! https://www.artstation.com/jakezetter
