Steampunk and Victorian Fantasy Art winners

Everlong by Putterhug Studio

FIRST PLACE

(this piece is available for sale HERE)

note: the "Fine Art America" watermark does not appear in actual products

Putterhug Studio remarks that this piece was inspired by "Everlong" and the Foo Fighters and muse, Peechez. It was created in PSPX3 and processed in PSE9.

Featured are a clock, gears, feathers, a red table, a writing pen with a black feather, an unusual lamp and a model dressed in Steampunk attire.

The next picture is what the piece would look like as a framed print. In this version, I have chosen a black frame with an inside gold trim (RR4 in the drop-down ) and an off-white mat (mist mat in the drop-down). Framed prints are available HERE:

  

Here is another framed print in a simple black frame (GG1) and the manor white mat (look through drop-downs):
