Update 12-2-2012  The contest is now over and we had an awesome turnout with several amazing pieces.  Now is your chance to vote for the winner, and to do so visit this poll: world-of-farscape.deviantart.c…

Update 12-1-2012:  The is the last day to get your entry in.  If you are working on one and think you may need more time, then contact me via comment below or through a note and I may extend the deadline a few days.

Update 11-9-2012:  Less than a month left, but still plenty of time for anyone wanting to participate.  For those worried about the contest being canceled for lack of entries, fear not for we have seven (7) awesome entries so far and I am loving the turn out.

About a week ago I posted a poll asking what you all wanted the next theme of our contest to be and you chose….STEAMPUNK!!!

Gadgets and gears, brass and wood, Victorian clothes and jetpacks.  Is a steam powered Moya in the near future?  I think so, but all this heat can’t be good for dear old Scorpy.  So pick your character(s), scrub them down and give them a good old fashioned steampunk makeover.

And for those of you who need further inspiration:

Meh, I was a bit intimidated, TBH. I didn't know how to put it into writing since I'm not exactly a steampunk expert.

I know what you mean. I love the genre and the look, but when ever I try to draw it I get stumped. I imagine it would have been alot harder to write fanfiction with it as well, which was why I decided not to include it this time round.

I made a submission for the contest. I'm not really into steampunk usually so I was hoping for another theme but steampunk won so I worked with it. I hope it's steampunk enough, because that's really not my style...

Actually incorporate a Farscape character with your steampunk character. Maybe have a Steampunk character talking to 1812 DRD!

As this is a Farscape group and a Farscape contest, your entry (if you submit one) must contain a character/ship from Farscape.

Farscape is an awesome sci-fi show (that is no longer on the air unfortunetly) revolving around an austronaut who gets sucked into a wormhole. If you have a subscription to Netflix, you can watch the series or you can find several clips on Youtube. There is also a link under references to a site called Farscape Caps that has screenshots of all the episodes and the Peacekeeper Wars movie.

Even if you decide not to join, it is definately worth giving the show a watch.

I'm from the UK, it's well known and advertised there but I have no idea if it's available elsewhere.

It said it was part of Amazon. Maybe they just don't advertise it that much over here.
