ConceptArt.Org’s Steampunk Penguin Professor Challenge

Einen's Steampunk Penguin Professor

Over at ConceptArt.org, those terribly skilled artists are deep in the depths of the Character of the Week challenge, or CHOW once again – and this week’s challenge is a Steampunk Penguin Professor (with assistant) in the Arctic.  They’re on to the final thread, the Final Burning, and there’s already some utterly stunning (and exceptionally charming) entries piling in.  The one above, by poster Einen, was my current favourite, but it’s so utterly close I may well change my mind in the next few minutes if I’m not careful.  (Remember, no comments on the thread until the poll is in, in case you are tempted.)

Congratulations to all the entries so far – and to whomever should win the challenge, a special congratulations!  I love the idea that the terribly serious looking creatures, waddling across the ice, are fussy professors educating and elucidating in the name of mad science!  Thank you, AndyW!

    I'm an anti-fangirl, as I'm so dreadfully shy. I squee in the privacy of my own home, gazing in rapture upon adorable little steampunk penguin professors. Fear not. XD

    Squeeee strikes a dread chill to my soul... but then I associate it with a very dangerous type of fan girl :/

    Kinda makes me wish I could hit that level of talent, beautiful stuff!
