Paintings and drawings with a steampunk and Victorian theme. Note that not every character needs to have a gear, clock, or be spitting steam to fit into a steampunk universe.
The Imaginary Network Expanded (INE) is a network of art sharing subreddits ranging from broad in subject to very specific. It is the goal of the INE to share, inspire, discuss and appreciate static image paintings, drawings, and digital art while maintaining artist credit and source links.
1) Submit credited, sourced paintings and drawings.
a. Follow title format: Art Title by Artist Name. Add no other info, except if to tag as OC.
b. Comment with an artist published website link. We want to drive some traffic to the creators!
c. Traditional paintings and drawings only. No videos, screenshots, photography, audio, multi-panel comics, content generated or AI-assisted submissions.
d. Posting your own work? See our best practices for submitting OC.
e. Requests, meta, and discussion should be posted to /r/ImaginaryNetwork.
2) Make quality submissions.
a. Do repost something that was posted to this subreddit less than three months ago, or is currently in the top 100 posts of all time. Use the search function before you post.
b. No collections, galleries or other multi-image submissions. Instead, submit your favorite image and link the rest in the comments.
c. Don't look spammy. Do not post to the same subreddit more than twice a day. No more than one crosspost per day.
d. Low resolution images may be removed. Images that contain too much background, text, or advertisement may be removed. Images must be submitted in the correct orientation. Submissions should not be more than 25% text. Text should not be necessary to understand the context of an image.
e. The scope of this sub is based on "what you see in the picture." The subject needs to be identifiable by the art alone, without descriptive title or any knowledge of lore.
f. Content should first glorify the subreddit subject matter. Hypersexualized characters should not be a main focal point. NSFW submissions should be limited to approx 1 in 10 per user.
g. Images of or titles mentioning merchandise are not allowed. No submission links to storefronts. Instead, link that info in the comments section.
3) This sub focuses on art appreciation.
a. All comments must be phrased respectfully. No name calling.
b. No dirty birdies or body-shaming. Low effort negativity may be removed.

A new Steampunk Adventure, American Style:
Jake Ranger has seen enough of the Wild West, and still hasn’t found what he’s searching for, so he figured he’d head east and try his luck there. However, traveling anywhere can be dangerous, especially in a world where all the fantasy monsters and races reappeared and settled back in, decades ago. Guns can certainly help with that though.
Mostly.
Though what’s a Legendary Frontier Folk Hero to do once he reaches the civilized, industrial city of New York?
Especially as corrupt individuals and shadowy groups begin to make deadly moves, dragging the innocent into their clutches and daring anyone to stop them?
He’ll do what he has always done: gather some wild companions and deliver a dose of Frontier Justice to the wicked, no matter how rich, powerful, or corrupt they are.
Welcome to the world of Wild Steam.
Do enjoy your stay.
This is an American Steampunk, Alternate-History, Urban Fantasy, Retro Sci-fi, Wild West, Gilded Age, Action, Adventure story, where you can also expect some Mystery, Romance, Cosmic Horror, plus a good bit more.
This book contains graphic violence, minor language, and explicit love scenes with unconventional relationships. Not for snowflakes. Everyone else will have a grand old time.
