April Theme:

This month's theme is: Steampunk!
A horse or dog reimagined in a world of gears, steam, and Victorian innovation. Does your creation wear intricate brass goggles, roam through a smog-filled city, or power an airship with its mechanical limbs? Perhaps it’s adorned with intricate clockwork armor or galloping through a futuristic past of steam-powered contraptions. From the whimsical to the industrial, let your creativity take flight—I can't wait to see your vision brought to life!

° Technical Skill: How well-executed is the manipulation? Are the elements seamlessly blended?

But Freia, what happens to the manips, do you keep them?
NO! The photo manipulation is yours to keep, sell or throw away as you wish. I do NOT keep the rights of any manipulations you create - this is simply for fun!
