Steampunk Art - Brass, Leather, and Cogs

Guidelines

  1. Titles should be in the format "[Title]" by [Artist]
    • If adding the artists social media handle after their name, use [square brackets]
    • If adding a year after the title, use (parenthetical brackets)
    • If posting your own art, preface the title with [OC]
  2. Please include the original source in the post body
  3. This community is meant for showcasing artists' work - this excludes
    • AI generated artwork
    • Screenshots from films or games
  4. Submitting the link from the original source instead of downloading and rehosting is recommended
    • This will ease server stress on smaller lemmy instances
    • /!\ Many mobile apps don't generate previews unless the url ends with a common file extension /!\
    • Therefore, if possible, please strip all parameters after .png, .jpg, etc.
  5. Mark posts as NSFW when necessary (nudity/violence)

I just realized this can be considered "not imaginary" but... it's SO GOOD! :)

Feel free to remove, as always.

i don't know, i was contemplating it

but i did somewhat anticipate this just encompassing the content that would normally be posted to !steampunk@lemmy as that doesn't exist yet

Oops :D, I can only say that it wasn't on purpose. By (my subjective) definition I consider all steampunk to be imaginary because it's an invented aesthetic that never was a real thing.

But I can also see why a "real object" can be viewed as non-imaginary. As others have said, it's up to you to decide.

i mean, i guess it is technically an art piece so it scrapes by. and also because there's currently no better lemmysphere for it and it's cool

but i don't think it'd wash in, say, !imaginarywastelands

As others have said, it’s up to you to decide.

no-one has said that but you (unless you mean martineski; and i tend to do the opposite of anything he says)
