no quality loss to speak of... but that, my friend, is cyberpunk.

steampunk is the use of old-timey steam technology to create massive mechanical monsters.
usually there are muskets and swords... and giant steam-crabs.

cyberpunk is using the above, but with post-apocalypse technology.

That's a pretty shallow way to describe it. Not really inacurrate, you sort of misrepresent it. Especially when you said cyberpunk is post-apocalyptic. Go watch the cartoon Future here on NewGrounds. It is VERY cyberpunk, and yet not at all apocalyptic.

And giant monsters and such are not a requirement of steampunk either. Steampunk refers to a style and universe where society realies on the abilities of steam power rather than analog or digital technology like you would see today.

Even my description is spartan, but I think it covers it all a little more concisely than yours.

Nice, but that's not steampunk.

Steampunk is focused on steam-powered or steam era mechanics with gears and brass.

lemme sum it up if I may:
cyberpunk=dystopian future
steampunk=between 17th and 19th century
does this work or am I doing it wrong?

no it's definitely steam-punk, check the steam exhaust stacks. Besides how are you going to tell the artist how he intended for his piece to interpreted...bunch of backseat artist on NG, I'll tell ya!

it has to show a little wood or other primitive material or fit in a style that is contemporary to that timeline. I'll make a steampunk pic and submit it sometime tomorrow to give an example.

Woah, great piece of art you have there! Smooth, detailed and a unique shape too, love it.

I'm pretty sure this qualifies as steampunk.

My machines are usually better than the people I try to draw.

that it does. good work.

Cyberpunk - a science fiction genre noted for its focus on "high tech and low life"
Steampunk - works set in an era where steam power is still widely used, but with prominent elements of either science fiction or fantasy

Thank you, Wikipedia. His robot is steampunk; it looks to be steam-powered. Shut up.

Winner is the man above me. Wikipedia succeeds AGAIN!

And yes, the first post could EASILY be steam punk. Definitely not cyberpunk.

Guys, lets get some more art on here. I know it looks rushed, I took ten minutes on this but seriously I dont wan this thread to be spammed by an endless war.

well this looks more steampunk. and yeah, previous one was a cyberpunk.

I love steampunk art, especially when it's really creative or out there, anyone here ever see the movies "SteamBoy" or "Casshern"? those to movies hae some amazing steampunk art, casshern could be argued as cyberpunk to i guess. both cool movies i'd check them out.

and NGmastah yours still seems to futuresque to look steam punk, your have the basic elements just the wrong look :)

I wish i could draw mechanical stuff, would love to get involved with this

Only one way to get better...

haha i know real well only way to get better is to practice, my artwork has gotten vastly better in the past year because i've been drawing and painting alot more.

Besides, i prefer to draw more organic things :)

I made one. But appearently mine's too crap for this topic, lol.

Well, here's one. It's not a robot or anything, but it's steam-powered non-the-less. Enjoy!

the search function never brings up the threads you're looking for =(

Never heard of steampunk art before, but it looks pretty cool.

ok well, this doesn't have any machinery in here (save the gears in the background), but it was inspired after I saw a bunch of steampunk style on the internet.

one of my few polished pieces : D

does any one know how to transfer my image to jpeg file?
