Okay, so I was stumbling around blindly on DA for a while today, when something caught my eye. It was a pair of goggles, so unusual looking, I had to look.

Today, I discovered Steampunk.

To explain, this is the gist of what Steampunk is:

"Steampunk is a sub-genre of fantasy and speculative fiction that came into prominence in the 1980s and early 1990s. The term denotes works set in an era or world where steam power is still widely used—usually the 19th century, and often Victorian era England—but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy, such as fictional technological inventions like those found in the works of H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, or real technological developments like the computer occurring at an earlier date. Other examples of steampunk contain alternate history-style presentations of "the path not taken" of such technology as dirigibles, analog computers, or digital mechanical computers (such as Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine); these frequently are presented in an idealized light, or with a presumption of functionality.

Steampunk is often associated with cyberpunk and shares a similar fanbase and theme of rebellion, but developed as a separate movement (though both have considerable influence on each other). Apart from time period and level of technological development, the main difference between cyberpunk and steampunk is that steampunk settings usually tend to be less obviously dystopian than cyberpunk, or lack dystopian elements entirely.

Various modern utilitarian objects have been modded by individual artisans into a pseudo-Victorian mechanical "steampunk" style, and a number of visual and musical artists have been described as steampunk." Wikipedia

In other words, it's old looking with newer twists. Makes me very happy.

Anyways, I began to think, 'Hey, what if the freaking Sonicverse was steampunk. That would be freaking amazing'. So I started drawing. And when I started drawing, I realized I CAN'T DRAW THE ORIGINAL SONIC CAST WORTH CRAP.

So that's why I need you guys ^^

Your mission: Steampunkify any of the main Sonic cast. I will love you forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and....ect.

Plus, its good for you to practice things you wouldn't practice normally. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go glorify a potato....

Sorry for my English ^^'

"I've got two legs from my hips to the ground,
And when I move them they walk around,
And when I lift them they climb the stairs,
And when I shave them they ain't got hairs." :boogie:
