Art Post: for Anthemicronicon Steampunk AU verse

[labyrinth2015]

Happy Fourth of July to my U.S.-based (or displaced) f-listers!

And, since nothing says patriotic Independence Day like tentacles and the pre-WW1 Gilded Age, look at what more my help_haiti bid has purchased of ciudad's services!

In full and final settlement thereof, she made me two amazing pulpy trade paperback cover designs in the style of m.s. corley, for my Anthemic-meets-H.P. Lovecraft 1900s steampunk AU stories, Anthemicronicon: the Age of Music and Anthemicronicon: Book of the Ages.

Aren't they gorgeous, isn't ciudad talented, and aren't I a lucky, lucky girl? She even got the Lovecrafty tentacles and the guitar ♥ ♥ ♥!

OH MY MY MY.

So pretty. *_____*

Regretfully, I have not read either of these stories (SHAME SHAME SHAME), but I don't really...even know what steampunk is, so yeah. :(

IKR? *_*

Steampunk is a genre featuring a 19th century/early 20th century Victorian/Edwardian-era historical setting, where steam power is widely used but infusing elements of more advanced technology or magic (so, historical science fiction or fantasy). Think Wild Wild West or the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or the new Sherlock Holmes movie? It's an amazing, atmospheric genre, I love it like crazy (and was at first too intimidated to write it!).

More detailed description here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steampunk. It's become my favoritest thing (besides magical realism) :) :) :)

I sometimes can't believe the talent in this comm but then again I shouldn't be surprised. What wonderful covers. The old penguin logo takes me back to long wonderful days in second hand book shops seeking out old mysteries. Sigh.

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]

I love that old Penguin logo too! ciudad is a young'un, but she likes the vintage things. (I was gonna make a joke of how you and I are vintage things, but possibly that'd be in poor taste. Oh, too late! :))

[asweetdownfall.livejournal.com]

Oh man. These are AMAZ-ZUH-ZING. ciudad's got skills yo. \o/

[jehane-writes.livejournal.com]
