"Pastel Steampunk and Pastel Steampunk Fragment 2" - Postcard

This week's Sunday Postcard Art challenge was "Pastel Steampunk."

I think I like the washed out "fragment" better, but I don't think either piece actually looks like steampunk. I finally had to enforce my "paint brush down" time limit rule. I have two additional, very similar postcards, here.

I created this using GIMP 2.10.18.

The vintage images are from an Internet search. (See the side of my blog for links.)

    I think the washed out one would make a great computer wallpaper

    I love all of these but I think you're right they don't feel like Steampunk for me the images need more Victoriana and industrial pieces like the Angels wings could be Steam powered however these are beautiful pieces of Art work with a Renaissance feel to them. Stay safe and have a great weekend, Angela xXx

    I have no idea what steampunk should look like, but what you have created looks very attractive to my eye, steampunk or not. I don't even care for the name Steampunk!

    I felt like this was a steampunk that had been washed out. I realize it followed the theme, but pastel is NOT my idea of steampunk. Steampunk needs rust, copper, and metal. Still, you did a good job finding the gears and such.

    BTW, I meant to get here sooner. You asked on Thursday if I could do something about the tree that was cut down. Sadly, it wasn't on my property, but belonged to the guy who put up the fence recently. When I first moved in, the neighbor who has now died, told me there was one house that sat back far from the street and the trees were on either side in front. Eventually, it was sold and demolished and the parcel sold as two parcels. Each parcel got one of the trees. Mine is still alive, and we know what happened to its twin.
