Description
Vaguely steampunkish? Not entirely... for an assignment, quite influenced by Chinese temple-like buildings. The city runs on steam... there's a lot of mistakes and depth/perspective problems but I had fun doing this piece, hope you like it!Steampunk seems done to death, but when it's done well it's really hot ;3;

I love this! It's so cool to see what sort of cultural influences you can implement into steampunk.

This is an interesting take on steampunk that I have not seen before. The picture is so beautifully done that I admit I would like to see more of this style.

This is amazing and exactly what Steampunk is all about, diversity in both art and culture! I hope you don't mind but I used your artwork as an example of inspiration in my conventions blog to hopefully get people to think about submitting to the art show. I used your DA for the credit reference. The blog will be up tomorrow!

It looks very good, though you might consider removing "oriental" from the title as some may be offended by it.

Thank you for your feedback. 'Oriental' is used here as part of the description of the setting and not to insult anyone, so I don't see a reason to remove it.

I see. I was unaware that it was okay to use it to apply to things of Asian culture. I confirmed this with someone to be sure and they conceded on this claim. Thank you for your reply.

I really like it. I think it is perfect asian steampunk. Sort of like steampunk Chinatown. It has a kind cheerful look to it.

I think I love you.
Jk. On a much more serious note, you've perhaps combined my two favorite things at the current moment. Steampunk and oriental things. I like the perspective and I love the style and the way you combined both styles of architecture. (sp?)
