I am so glad to have this behind me. Most of the work was writing and translating the text, so everything is a little late. I now admire the people who organize a competition. What a job. In any case, here are the winners of Discover the Streets Contest. It was not easy for me. So many wonderful entries. But I think I did it.
First I want to thank @adelasia @lapucelle @plebby @gladson1976 for their donation. Thank you very much
I thought I would do three categories.
1. the very best. A category for the people who just blew me away.
2. the best. For the people who put in a lot of work and delivered good ideas.
3. honorable mention. These are the people who have put in the hours of hard work and took part in this "challenging" competition.So there is no First, Second or Third place.
There are 6 people in the first category.
There are 8 people in the second category.
And there are 5 people in the third category.In the first category: 6X22000 points

Bebe Rebozo with The shadow knowsI can not transfer 237000 points at once. So our best admin, @hunter will take care of it.
Oh yeah. I have put 2000 points extra in this contest because of calculation of points. It was easier for me to spread the points.I hope that I have not made a mistake. If it is, then let me know.
So I wish you a lot of fun and hopefully we will see each other again.
Luca.And here the 6 winners first category
1. A homage for Stonemason from Ondrej.
When I saw this picture, I was immediately in love. Beautiful composition with a charming light. The idea is simple but refined. First I thought...What does that have to do with "Discover the Streets Contest? But then.... A fantastic projection on a table. Simply grandiose. Thank you for your contribution.
2. STEAM From tedthelearner.
What can I say...A masterpiece, an incredibly image with so much punch. I like new ideas. And you have that really well done. Also later when I looked at your image with a VR viewer....The absolute madness. Thanks for your cool contribution.
3. thomasbr Made Steam
How simple it can be. A person in a dark environment. You can't even see a face. She has a torch in her hand and illuminates almost the entire surroundings. A spooky environment lights up. What is behind it? You have created with little means, a fascinating image. Thank you for your effort.
4. ewlo did Steamcity
Okay ewlo, your Steamcity is a knockout. So much to see and so much to discover. Everything is so transparent and you really used your camera correctly. A good depth I can see. And everything is so clear. You must have put a lot of work into this. Simply a masterpiece. Thank you for your beautiful and colorful image.
5. Spats Steam Sistaaar
And again a great depiction of a smoky and steamy environment. It must not always be dark. The sun shines brightly and you can see that they both have a lot of fun. I toast on your presentation. Cheers I should say
6. Streets Of Steam Punk from mathmathou
A parallel universe. Who would have thought that. A very nice environment in late summer I should say. She is standing inside the building. A cool camera view. What immediately caught my attention in this picture is that her cyber suit is shining so brightly. Very nice. Thank you for your effort. Hopefully the story about Charlotte continues.
The 8 winners second category
7. Frank21 Toto, and his "I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore"
Who does not know "The Wizard of Oz" where the little beloved Toto from Dorothy plays his role. You've done a great job on your characters. You even didn't forget her basket. Wonderful representation. What I also like is that you can see that the earth is shaking a little. Thank you for your fanciful presentation
8. Plebby The Bag Snatcher
The bag snatcher, a real moving action shot. What a movement you have got there!! I have the feeling that I am very very small. Grandiose camera cut and position. Also this few bloom in de render, I think it fits in this whole dark and mysterious environment. Wonderful my friend. Thanks for your fascinating contribution
9. adelasia and her Welcome to Steamville
A homeless cat that slowly but consciously makes its way through the night. A robot hovers, two people are standing and talking nonsense. But what is this young lady doing on her suitcase? Magnificent scenery where still much is to be discovered. A really dreamy scene where the light makes its way through the night. Thank you my best for your contribution.
10. titan3d and Inaru in Steampunkland
Wow. A sexy lady in the pouring rain, waiting for something, she does not know yet. Very impressive. Her almost transparent coat, asks for problems. Who is in charge here? She? Or the two dark shapes on the background. What caught my eye is the drops on her body and coat. Everything fits. Yes, thank you for your contribution. Oh well, hopefully she will get healthy again.
11. Twiggi Twilla Cold in Cross Worlds
First of all I want to say Twilla is a beautiful name. And yes, she looks a bit like an Egyptian queen and is self-confident. What I like very much is the way she squats there. Through your camera she looks huge. Really well done. Thank you for Vampire Twilla in which the blood of the Egyptian queen Thea Kapan flows.
12. fuzzy3000 with Welcome to Steampunk Time War
A very exciting story about your Image. I want to write that down here again.
"Wispy, cloud-like, portals were appearing all across Londinium – mayhap across the world. They gave a brief glimpse of futuristic looking architecture, seemingly superimposed upon our reality, before the march of automatons began to cross the threshold into our cities. Powerful energy weapons spewed forth towards all in their way.
The Victoriana female ground force rallied to hold the lines, hoping, praying, that the aerial forces would arrive soon"
A great story that supports your image very well. I wonder how you made the characters. But let that be your secret. All in all, an intoxicating scene. The Streets of Steampunk environment definitely fits. Thank you for your contribution my friend.
13. Eve Adams and his Midnight Stalkers
Who's stalking who. Yes that I also wonder. I'm curious about your explanation. A nice render in "Hollywood dark style," I like that term. What I really appreciate is the interior lighting and the billboard lighting. Those are the little things that really pop. Thanks for your entry. Hope to see you soon again.
14. madmungo and his Woohooooooooooo!
Yes really Woohooooooooo! I always wanted to jet around in this way. The gray smoke that sprouts with approximately 34.6 KmH from his jet is incredible. What I also find is cool, his blissful look in his visage.... Your camera has also a stunning view. Thank you for your dynamic contribution.
And the 5 winners third category
15. Adam with his Zero Covid Policy. You will comply
Oh my gosh what are these big. Should you really watch out when you meet them. One should also adhere to the guideline, right? A simple but expressive render. I'm glad you got it finished, despite the fact that you didn't have much time. There are more important things then sitting behind a computer. Yes, thanks for your contribution. I am very pleased.
16. liwic and Technologic Steam Machine
Wow, those two have something to tell each other. What, we do not know!. Everything is quite mysterious. You even don't know who's under the helmet either. The first thing I noticed was a small pamphlet on the wall with Lefèvre-Utile printed on it. I still love the LU (biscuits). You probably used gold shaders which are doing just fine. Overall a good picture with the camera at a nice angle. Thanks for your contribution.
17. WENTLEY and his N.O.W
N.O.W. is a really cool term for your image. When I looked at the picture on my big screen, I was completely transfixed. All in all, I like the "yellow-green" color tone what Fits very well, with the two figures, which both look funny. Thank you for your contribution. It was a pleasure.
18. Hodor with his bloodborne
Mediokrates, the "lost philosopher" has actually once said "good enough". And I say yes that you have done it well. Everything looks nice in blood color. The fog hides in some way this species very well. Makes everything thrilling. Oh, I almost forgot. Hidden behind the window you can also see something grisly. Thank you for your contribution.
19. Bebe Rebozo The shadow knows
I was amazed when I saw his picture. That´s indeed is "the Shadow". Imagine...The first Shadow crime episode on the radio was broadcast on July 31, 1930 in the USA.... You've done a great job on your character. Proud as he can be. Thanks for your entry. I enjoyed it.
Thank you very much for the hosting and your points @Lucafeelgood
and thank you donators @adelasia @lapucelle @plebby @gladson1976
and Congratulations for the winners and for the great renders.I'm enjoy this competition. 🙂
Thank you very much for the opportunity not only to participate, but also to receive a pleasant assessment of my work, as well as encouragement. This is important to me!
Thanks! and congrats to all the winners! Great images everyone!
and a big thanks to Luca for hosting this!Thank you very much for hosting, I held off from commenting on others pics since I was also in the running, but agree some really amazing works, I really enjoyed thomasbrs entry the lighting is amazing and really took an outdoor environment to an underground tomb /dystopian environment feel. I expected Lara Croft to say something about her father at any moment. And Spats had a terrific sense of action and really told a story, even though I see in early postings espoused a lack of motivation from the Steampunk culture (way to overcome!). and perhaps under one of those Daft Punk helmets is really Captain Jack Harkness, which I am still kicking myself for not thinking of when I started my design. 😉 And Mad respect to Ewlo, the amount of time to create that many billboards (insanity), though casual observation, looks like the glass from the shops were removed so as not to give away the illusion from another angle?
Anyway, could go on and on but those were the competitors I enjoyed the most. Thanks again for the contest, it was a huge one for sure which motivated me to break out of my normal themes and stop rendering boobies, if only for a day.
@Lucafeelgood
Thanks for the inclusion, and the comments - glad you liked the back story.Well done to all. Some really outstanding entries.
Correction - all outstanding entries.Not an easy task to sort through.
Thanks for all your effort.P.S.
And now you can take a well deserved rest while @Kefka lures us into his Halloween Contest.Lovely submissions all around, thanks to all that participated! It was very nice to see so many entries. And of course thanks to Luca for hosting such a huge contest. It must have been very hard to choose a favourite between first and second, I loved the ingenuity of both shots.
@tedthelearner Now that you mention it, the black/gold suit does look somewhat reminiscent to Jack Harkness' outfit, it very well could be him underneath!@madmungo @littleevie @ondrej @bebe @Frank22 @Hodor @wentley @tedthelearner @plebby @D0gg0d @spats @thomasbr @Titan3d @adelasia @liwic @Fuzzy3000 @Twiggi @Mathmathou @Ewlo
Hunter just wrote me that he/she transferred the points from my account to yours. Have fun with it.
Luca wish you something..Congratulations to all the participants, a great display of imagination and skill, and thanks to Luca again for bringing to whole show together.
ps - how do you add those little balloons to your text?I want to thank you for your effort. Taking the time to review all images and comment each of them with an original paragraph depicting how you understood each of them, that's definitely worth mentioning and saluting. Also, taking the initiative (once again) to organize that contest is really a valuable addition to the life of this forum and community that I'm proud to be part of.
I'd also like to congratulate all participant because, no matter the ranking, everyone clearly put some time and effort in their creations and I was very impressed by all the renders I saw.
And yes, as @Frank22 mentioned : how do you put those icons in your post titles ? 🙂
Thanks to @lucafeelgood for running a great competition, and thanks also to everyone who donated points to boost the prize pot. Well done to everybody who participated, particularly those who were dipping their toes in for the very first time. The images were genuinely outstanding, and I can't wait to see what you all come up with next.
Lol love the gif @Tedthelearner and you deserved every one of those points because you taught us all something new sensei. See you in the Halloween competition.👻
Thankyou Luc for hosting this event, Thank you to those that bumped up the Prize pot too, and to those that took the time to enter.
A special mention again to luc for taking the time to review the submitted works and giving an opinion on it... Much appriciated
