Title: Nature Does Steampunk
Name: Linda Smith
Country: United States
Software: Photoshop

I did this one for the ImagineFX September Steampunk challenge. I have never done metal before so it was quite a personal challenge for me to paint this. Below is a little detail of the paddleduck. Thanks and enjoy. Comments welcome :)

Really great image Linda. I like a lot the idea, realization and style, looks great. Maybe the metal is too reflective, it could have some more dirt. Anyway it looks really great, congrats!

This is cute, original and funny! I just wish it were slightly sharper, otherwise it's very lovely!

Thank you mikeldi :) This is the first time I have tried to paint metal so it was mostly guesswork, thank you for the crit on the metal every little bit of advice helps

Dianae - Thank you very much :) I have kind of a looser style so my work usually does not end up super sharp looking. I just hope everything works together as a whole when I paint.

dzordan - thanks for the nice comment :)

Lovely and extremely funny! Would make a great children's book illustration, Linda, it makes me want to know the full story and see all the illustrations for it

Simply delightful, 4 stars.

Thaldir - awww thank you for letting my art make you think :) It makes me feel good when people get a smile or think about a story. I am not sure if I would want to do a whole book full of these little buggers though ha ha.

Thank you CNell for the smile and the compliments :)
