Hi, all! I was inelligible to win any prizes in the Steampunk CGChallenge as I am a judge, but I worked on this piece for the challenge anyhow: I love getting feedback from folks and "hanging out with" friends during the Challenges, and who wouldn't want a steampunk piece in their portfolio?

I built some base geometry for the mechanical bits in 3DS Max, but did all of the paint and color-work in Photoshop.

Oh, and if anyone's interested in seeing the steps to the creation of this piece, you can follow the very long Challenge thread here: http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthr...13&page=1&pp=50
