Hello guys,

Where does the steampunk fall ? Sc-fi or Fantasy ? :smiley:

As I can't really draw, I will try to explain a little with words and some ref sheets.
I am planning on creating a realistic steampunk character, I want him to have kind of a grumpy face(40-50 y old), dress in some Victorian/Steampunk clothing from https://www.gentlemansemporium.com and combine that with steampunk assets(gun, hat, mask, backpack etc)

I don't really have any refs for clothing yet, I am about to go home for christmas, so I will only have access to pinterest and search for all that stuff. Managed to start a face, with a little of body.

Face refs(not aiming for likeness):

And some current progress:

I was hoping for a competition like that for a while now! Thanks Cubebrush and good luck everyone :smile:

I would say steampunk is Sci-fi.
Mostly because it doesn't have magic and uses science.
Its in a past area, but its about an alternative timeline. Timeline stuff is more Sci-fi than fantasy also.
