What is Steampunk...
I was told it is simply anything that doesn't use electricity. Clockwork and steam. Some things are run by springs, but those wouldn't need to be drawn, just a container with a gear and axel on it.
Basically, electricity didn't work out for some reason. Substitute steam and gears.
Ideas can likely be found in 1880s to early1900s ships and planes. Some of the earliest aircraft were steam powered, not internal combustion engines.
The anime movie Howl's Moving Castle might give you some ideas as well.
Edit. Fixed some typos.

What is Steampunk...
What steampunk I've seen, doesn't include stainless steel. Mostly cast iron. Large bolts holding large objects together type thing.
I don't remember anything that looked like aluminum. As far as I know, that takes huge amounts of electricity to refine from bauxite.
As for the arc-generating items mentioned above... the original set for the Mummy comes to mind. Jacob's Ladder, huge gear wheels, arcs and sparks.

some battle maps, 75' x 50'
Okay, I'm about half way through the no grid versions. I'm making label and other mistakes, so I'm going to stop here.
Silly me, I discovered if I made a grid 75' x 50' with lines, when I save as a rectangular area, those lines don't show up in the output file.
And I started putting things like holes in the ground, etc. in the last column of 7 maps... but the swamp/marsh, desert, and water pieces, lack details. Like ridges, small islands, deeper areas, etc.
So, I'll work on those later this week.
If you already downloaded them from my site, I finally saw the pieces under the 75' x 50' lines grid, and saw my water and sand were off alignment. Those have been fixed.
Nothing since my uploads yesterday are uploaded. But I will get them done.
I'll place the fixed ones in my Gallery.
I think for my next trick, no rabbits nor Bulwinkle later, I'll make one large water, a large sand, and then add bits to that, and then cut them up. If I remember, I'll export the sand and water ones at 2,000 pixels. I know Epic-Table, and maybe others, can handle jpg/pngs that size.
Whew, off to sleep perchance to dream, but hopefully not of maps.
