Season 8, Episode 13: "Full Steam Ahead"

Last week's Spotlight Challenge had the artists (down to four, FYI) taking a classic Western character — a barmaid (Logan), an undertaker (Emily) a bank robber (Julian) and a blacksmith (Darla) — and re-imagining it as a steampunk cyborg.

That's quite the tall order, as even when the art of "steampunk" is described as eloquently and completely as possible ("A combination of two elements: a Victorian or Edwardian fashion sense combined with technology from a previous civilization that has been rediscovered and is now powered with steam," per Glenn), it still makes for some alarm and confusion.

  1. Alarm for Darla.

  2. Confusion for Emily.

  3. And that's not all. Steampunk can also inspire blank stares …

  4. … temporary madness …
