Two researchers in futuristic sci-fi suits

About this image

This striking sci-fi post-apocalyptic artwork depicts two futuristic explorers in neon-accented tactical suits, equipped with digital tablets, surveying a long-abandoned steampunk steam locomotive reclaimed by a lush, sun-dappled tropical jungle. The rusted, vine-and-moss-covered train rests on decaying railway tracks, with golden sun

  This is really good. I think the voters had too narrow an idea of what steampunk means. The polished high-society stuff is nice and all, but the gritty side of steampunk is what I like the most.

  tvm - just too far from the description I guess - just the way I like it

  thanks and thanks. I am sure you are right. I think people tend to pick images that are often close to the description and challenge thumbnail. Perhaps already submiminally programmed as to what is expected. And I consciously try and come up with something on theme but different. Needless to say my trackrecord of finishes is not great. Which is fine by me

  I am guessing people weren't expecting to see an abandoned relic and instinctively voted another one that showed motion. I only saw it once and voted for it - love the creative and memorable take

  This is an excellent image, David! I didn't see it in the voting - it certainly stands out!

  I think it's very cool. The whole scene feels like a story.

• @DavidP · Jul 4, 2026

  tvm - that's a great compliment. Another that didn't have great appeal

• @sr92 · Jun 23, 2026

  Really great design and picture!
