Description Inspired by one of my favourite steampunk songs [link]

I've chased this dream since I was five
And I have barely stayed alive
While folks have fallen off this ship
I have never lost my grip

So hate me
You might as well hate me
And go on berate me
Until the day you die

I'm going straight through
I'm not going to hate you
But I'm not going to wait for you
Until the day I die

One of my favorite Abney Park songs--and I love the pic. You did Victorian Vigilante with the same character, did you not? He looks to be a charming trickster.

Oh My Fox. Thanks for posting this! !
I looked them up on YouTube and I fell in love with their music!
Thanks for introducing me to another group of Steampunk musicians!

I don't know if you've noticed, but there is something going on with the Clockwork Quartet website! I hope there's a new song coming up!


Can't wait.

every time i find something on it, the idea still seems sketchy, but i think i understand it. i saw some clothes in a magazine (and not some typical modern-day one either!) where they started adding in steampunk style clothes. it's called Pyramid Collection if you're interested^_^. I also remember the movie... Treasure Planet I believe it is, that sorta reminds me of steampunk...

Oh, I like the song's lyrics, it's very Shakespearian! Makes me thing of the curses of King Lear and Margaret of Anjou, where the curse is a life of misery and misfortune rather than a death.
Ha! This is so cool, you've got the perfect killer's look, 'It had to be done... Baby.", a little James-Bondesque too. The Victorian James, with a license to kill!
I absolutely adore the swirls, on the tail, the smoke... the hair! They make my eyes go 'round wildly on the picture, but never outside of it as they're so nicely balanced~
And the colours look so old, very Victorian! Well, what else can I say?

It actually made me think of this song here:

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.


Again, absolutely capital work!

Am I the villain of things as they seem?

Amazing job! Really!


Good night! I'm going to bed now, I got up too early today to work for school. No time otherwise.


PS: I promise, your post will arrive at the latest next week. I'm so sorry for the late, school kills me physically and mentally. But I don't forget you, and this makes me very sad that I can't answer you, Lupuna and Randomonlooker earlier. All my apologizes.
