Welcome to the masquerade of the industrial age.
This visual collection, titled “The Victorian Menagerie,” presents a unique twist on the Steampunk genre. Instead of human faces, we are greeted by a diverse cast of characters wearing intricate, hyper-realistic animal masks.
Set against the backdrop of a dusty, gear-turning industrial city, these figures blur the line between human intellect and animalistic power.
The Synthesis of Man, Machine, and Beast
In this alternate 19th-century reality, identity is concealed behind the visage of the wild. The collection features:
The Apex Predators: Figures like the Lion and Tiger, dressed in heavy leather combat gear, exuding authority and raw strength.
The Wise & The Unique: The Elephant with tusks integrated into brass goggles, and the Panda outfitted with survival equipment.
The Amphibious & The Avian: Surreal interpretations of a Frog and Lizard in trench coats, alongside an Eagle aviator, showcasing how texture—scales, feathers, and fur—contrasts with the cold hardness of brass and steam machinery.
Cinematic Grittiness
Created by Fajri Petrucci, this series emphasizes texture and atmosphere. The worn leather, the rusted metal of the background, and the “lived-in” feel of the costumes create a grounded, cinematic reality. It is not just fantasy; it is a glimpse into a secret society living within the steam and smoke.
