:star: Steampunk Defined :star:
Many have posed the question, what is Steampunk?

Here it is as defined by Urban Dictionary [link]

Steampunk is a subgenre of speculative fiction, usually set in an anachronistic Victorian or quasi-Victorian alternate history setting. It could be described by the slogan "What the past would look like if the future had happened sooner." It includes fiction with science fiction, fantasy or horror themes.
- Medieval Steampunk: Speculative fiction set during the Middle Ages.
- Victorian Steampunk: A modern Science Fiction work (post-1930s) that is set in the early parts of the industrial revolution.
- Western Steampunk: Science fiction set in the American Old West.
- Industrial/Modern Steampunk: Science fiction taking place in the late industrial age, early modern age;
i.e. World War 1, World War 2
Examples of steampunk:
Wild Wild West
Final Fantasy 7
Van Helsing
The Time Machine
Hellboy
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow

That being said, I would like to introduce myself.
`CapnSkusting
I will be taking over the helm of this wondrous group
from (the quite capable hands) of ~Dragon-Bat
I must say I have been seeing some very cool things being submitted to the group.
BUT as great as some of these works are, I have been declining a few here
and there, as some of them while being great steampunk works,
really do not have any horror element to them.
With that in mind, keep 'em coming!
Scare the steam out of us!
Thanks

:star:About the Group :star:

As an artist I see so many doors of opportunities that could be, and have been opened by a few on the darker side of the steam-punk genre.

From the Victorian era we had the great writers; Shelly, Stoker, Stevenson etc. could you imagine these works being conveyed within the spectrum of Steam-punk? This horror aspect has predominantly been relatively untouched by the art community.

What if Dracula had come to London in an airship?

Steam-punk vampires, Automaton zombies. Clockwork machines that open doors to evil realms or whatever Horror/Macabre/Dark Steam-punk style creation you imagine. The possibilities are endless.

We want to find those rare artist, and awaken others to the possibilities.

We are Steampunk styled Horror.

We are Steampunk-Horror.

Thank you,

Founder-- Dragon-bat
