[CHOW #107 - STEAMPUNK PENGUIN PROFESSOR]


For ConceptArt.org's Character of the Week. A steampunk professor penguin and his assistant [of sorts]. I don't believe polar bears and penguins actually coexist, but when the idea came to me I liked it too much to pay heed to science.

Fun, fun. Hard work but it didn't take as long as I thought it would. I had to rush it a little since I wouldn't be able to work on it much closer to the deadline. The lighting on the whole is a bit gross.

Had to do a bit of program-hopping because I was unhappy using Photoshop for it. This is about 70% OpenCanvas, 30% Photoshop.

Textures from CG Textures. Dear Mayang, what happened?

Made with: OpenCanvas 4, Photoshop Elements 2, tablet

This is was too charming... I can't help but smile at it... It's completely silly...

Only crit I'd have is to make the polarbear fuzzy instead of well... whatever fur effect you have going on there....

Thanks! I was angsting over the fur, there were so many ways I could've done it that probably would've looked better. In fact the detail levels overall are really erratic, I'll try to do better next time. D:

Well, it's really not a big deal and doesn't distract from the image. You just put advanced critique down so I left my two sense.

Viva la steampunk! The polar bear reminds me of the Golden compass...

Thanks! I confess I did have Philip Pullman on the brain. :D

Haha, that's great! I love the idea and the crazy style, and the execution is brilliant!

(Since advanced critique is encouraged, I'd say a more detailed background, especially the sky, would make it better. But then, that's just being really picky.)

Fav'd!

To see shadow is to acknowledge the prescence of light...

Thank you very much. :D Backgrounds, especially landscapes, are something I really want to work on. :)
