Oh how great would it be, to drive with one of these! I love all the bull's-eyes! (I hope, that is the right translation) And the railing! Aaaah... I'm in love
Edit: Oh, it's you!

Hi Lelaina! Those are called portholes. Thanks for your comment!
Cute and maybe a bit cartoony--but I'm not sure that's quite the steampunk style. I think lighting is the problem. Light from above (not the side) would be more realistic and then adjust the shadows on the subs accordingly. (BTW the shadows on the subs don't even match the apparent light direction here.) [Some fish brushes to add fish in the background might increase the feeling of depth.]

Really good idea, and I'm a huge steampunk fan, and this is "ok" theme wise, but steam punk has nothing to do with cartoon anything... Your big sub has some major issues w/ perspective, and the whole thing is lit wrong from your light source.

I've always thought of the whole steampunk genre as cartoony...it's a parody crossbreed of Victoriana and Sci-fi. How can the big sub have perspective issues when it's a duplicate of the real thing? Did you look at the SBS?
PS: Lighting upgraded.

I don't see *much* difference in lighting, the tank under the lil sub should have much more shadow, the light source and the tanks/sub above would be blocking most of the light on that part, so should the back side of the big sub, and Yeah I saw your source.
nice!
nice work

awesome work author!! i know the sub in the background! it's in barcelona next to an aqua museum.. i think..
Great picture but not quite on theme..Really get into the mechanics of things...Show the steam power
"Steampunk" doesn't mean literally steam powered. It's a genre concept!
I understand the concept of steampunk..Here's an idea show me the mechanics of the subs and not just them floating around...Just my opinion
i think it's very on theme. as well as your other entry.
Howdie stranger!
