GROUP CONTEST

THE DONATION POOL FOR NEW CONTEST IS OPENED!

OTHER ACTIVITIES

HELP WANTED!

Ladies and gentlemen!

The group has lost its activity due to a number of contributors who do not manage the folders and submission process. Therefore, we're in a dire need of active admins. If you'd like to be one, please, send a note to the group, remembering that:

You should read our submission rules at least once and understand what goes where. There are other ways to understand it, and it's sufficient to see what goes to 'cosplay', 'costumes', 'engines' and 'characters' and what is our quality control.

You might not have any experience with group maintenance, though it is appreciated. It's not a big deal to learn how it is done, and we're very OK with new to administration people. Way to the young and ambitious!

Important: no bullying members! Please, remember, that you're a staff, you must be polite and tolerant, even if a member calls you an asshole. Remember about words 'hello', 'sorry', 'please', 'thank you' and 'good-bye'. If you can't guarantee being polite, think twice before applying.

The Engineer curses.
Cups are knocked over.
Screws and gears scatter wildly.
Wine spills, drips on the floorboards.
A precious glass vial is just barely caught.
His assistant is cowering under the table, hiding.
Hurtling hunk of metal comes straight for him, he squeaks.
Assistant tries to dodge, forgets where he is and hits his head.
The Engineer gets a heavy wrench, hefts it, swings it threateningly.
He is not fast enough, every swing just hits air, making him dance around.
It is a silly dance, all flailing arms and stumbling steps, twirling in dizzy circles.
The assisistant comes out to help, gets nearly hit, is drawn into the dance himself.
"Stay behind me." the Engineer orders, pulling him to safety, out of the flying objects way.
Mechanical hearts all aflutter bumble around the room, bumping into furniture, emptying the shelves.
"Love is in the air~" the radio sings.

“You ever fall in love with the end of the world, Mister Alan?”
“That more of your poetry, Pocket?”
“Not this time, I'm afraid.”
“Because it's getting a little late for poetry.”
“Then don't worry.”
“I won't.”
“Good.”
“All right. I'll bite.”
“It's a long story.”
“You finish your drink?”
“Wait...yeah. Done.”
“Then go ahead and talk. Your tab's due.”
“Normal price?”
“Normal price. A story for a round. But tell it good, Pocket. Lots of flash and pop and romance. Give me my beer's worth.”

Chapter 1: The Iron Baron
The morning sky of deep reds and oranges cast long shadows along the fields that extended into the horizon. Unus Solum's ring shined purple, arcing across the sky, as far as the eye could see. I walked slowly across the porch of my family home, selecting each step with care, aiming to make as little noise as possible. I picked up my bike, which was leaning against the far end of the deck, and retraced my path back to the steps which led down to the walkway. I placed the bike on the ground, fixed my backpacks straps, stepped on the bike, and kicked off. My heart raced, the handlebars became loose under my sweaty hands. I wobbled along the dirt walkway onto the equally uncomfortable road.
I was actually doing it. I fought looking back at my childhood home, out of fear that I would lose my courage if I saw it. I blocked out the thoughts of home, both good and bad, and focused on moving forward. I gained speed, exploding down the road. A smile made its way

Thank you for accepting me. So excited to explore the art here and share my own.

Hello there admins,
Thank you for accepting my request to join the group. I have a few questions regarding where to submit content - so that I'm not causing any hassle with incorrect submissions.
Recently, I attended the Grand Canadian Steampunk Exposition, and was fortunate enough to get some rather good shots (at least by the standards of my own humble work) of a number of steampunk celebrities as they performed - such as Abney Park, Professor Elemental and Frenchy & the Punk. Naturally, their shows were performed in steampunk attire, but I wouldn't consider it cosplay. Likewise, they were actual photos - and the only post-processing (if any) was cropping the image for better focus on the subject - so the Photomanipulations folder doesn't seem a correct fit.
Likewise, I like to take portraits of interesting individuals when I can - and, although the ones I submit here would be in steampunk attire, their clothes are only part of the images' intended appeal.
I was curious about where I ought to be submitting these images, and would appreciate some feedback on the matter. If you would like to see the images to which I'm referring, they can be found in the "Grand Canadian Steampunk Exposition" (2014 and 2017) sections of my gallery; particularly this year's expo.
Thank you for your advice and, in advance, for your feedback.
