Steampunk 3

For those of you living under a rock, the steampunk genre is a mix of fantasy and technology with a decidedly vintage flair. The idea involves taking old world technology (think steam-power, not electrical; wood and steel components instead of plastic or fiberglass), and turning it into something fantastical and futuristic.

It can have elements of science fiction and fantasy, like the fictional inventions in books by Jules Verne or H.G. Wells. Think robots, submarines, flying machines or rockets. It can also be a display of current technological advances having been invented in the 19th century (steam-powered computers built out of steel, for instance).

The rule of the game are thus: Create beautiful steampunk imagery. You may "steampunkize" current technology (think of phones, computers, cars... everyday stuff), or you may create entirely new and fantastical objects or scenes. The choice is yours.

Our only requirement is that the steampunk work *must* be your own. Do not photoshop imagery of already-steampunked items from the internet. Doing so will result in a disqualification.
