Les participations sont ouvertes jusqu'au 2 mai.
We invite all artists to unleash their creativity and submit their unique vision of a victorian explorer in an alternative 19th century age (steampunk).
Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th century industrial steam-powered machinery.
The design can be inspired by real historical figures (like Mary Kingsley, David Livingstone, Richard Burton and so on) or can be a brand new original character from your imagination. Your character can be an expolorer of many exotic locations (both real or fictional) like: the Arctic and Antarctic regions, the Secret Jungles of Africa, the Centre of the Earth, the Lost Continent of Atlantis, the Moon and so on. Outfit and gadgets must tell us the location you have choose for your character and match the steampunk technology style.
Male, females and anthropomorphic animals interpretation of the steampunk explorer are all welcome.
