Did you at least get featured on their site? I've entered so many manga competitions back in the day with nothing to show for it =/
The best I did was runner up in a category but only the #1 in each category got featured. So many hours down the drain QQ

Amazing but in some ways it's a little hard to tell whether its Korea or not but still good work.

Steampunk is a genre heavily inspired by the industrial revolutions in the West, especially with Victorian-era fashions, so to see it mixed with Asian culture is really interesting to me. Unfortunately, I don't know much of anything about Korean culture specifically, but this piece does paint an interesting picture beyond what's shown. The concept is just really cool and I really like the aesthetic of it.
I have to say, though, that there is one spot that draws my eyes and confuses me a little. The top of the centermost flying machine (zeppelin?) has me guessing it's position. The people on top rowing look large enough that in comparison to the people in the lower left, they're closer to the viewer, but the bottom section of it looks farther away. Looking at the other flying machines, you get a feel for the proportions of them and it sort of looks like the bottom of the center one is coming in to dock at the section in the bottom left hand corner, but the people on top suggest it's flying up and over considering their individual size. I don't know, my perspective may just be a tad messed up.
I still really like piece, the smoke rising into the crowded sky while equally crowded streets surge with the lifeblood of the city. Steampunk settings are so typical with the usual Victorian era houses and English cities. I certainly haven't seen many pieces like this. I really like it!

Thank you very much for the feedback! Yeah now I look at it, the perspective is a little weird, thanks for pointing out the problem of this piece, really appreciate it. It's actually like my first attempt on making a cityscape this complex, I'll try my best to avoid this kind of problem in my next piece
