December is here and what would we do without some kind of homage to those of us in the Winter/Holiday season. With that in mind, this month's challenge is "A Steampunk Winter." Each month I try to imagine a theme that isn't being done all over DA. Sometimes that works well, and sometimes it seems that the idea is just TOO "out there" for the members of this group. I hope to see many of you take on this challenge. So here are the details:
Your work MUST feature an element(s) that is considered "Steampunk." For a detailed explanation of the term, read here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampun… The scene must also be wintery, even rain is OK if the overall sense is that of a cold, winter day. Send us your best work, let us see your talent, folks. Artwork must be a new image and multiple submissions acceptable Media is WIDE OPEN, as you will note from the examples many options for type of media (collage, traditional media, digital.) Challenge ends January 8th 2017 at midnight PST (the clock on the home page never seems to work to show that it's not noon
