By the way, as I'm currently having hard drive troubles, I wasn't able to do post-processing on this entry or the one before. What I did use was the Blue Monday Windlight setting, and--while both these builds are lovely without it--that setting casts a dreamy, blue-green glow over everything that's just phenomenal. It added so much to these pictures, but believe me--the artistry of the builds was far greater. Both of these are worth a visit.

Looks pretty neat. I'm getting a kinda Bioshock/Retro type feel that I'm enjoying more as I find stores that offer that type of thing.
Well, BioShock was set in that time period, heavily Art Deco.
Art Deco surfaced during the fading away of Art Nouveau, though the two styles were used at the same time for a few years. In direct contrast to Nouveau's organic curves and floral shapes, Deco was all about the line--single, straight, combined, you name it. Alphonse Mucha is the perfect poster child for Art Nouveau, and many painters gleefully embraced Nouveau's particular design aesthetic. In contrast, many of Deco's bigger names were architects and engineers, drawn to the clean modern look. You've seen the Chrysler Building in New York? You've seen Deco. Hells, you've seen pictures of buildings in Miami's South Beach district, you've seen Deco--many surviving buildings are in that style to this day.
