Description
This is my album cover design for Professor Elemental's new album "The Father of Invention." Check him out at professorelemental.com. And much thanks to Valerie Brincheck for allowing me to snag some of her beautiful steampunk gears for the title section! Check out her work at [link] . She has some lovely design pieces, including more steampunk works!Related content

I've not had a chance to congratulate you on this winning piece. The voting throngs have selected a wonderful choice for the album cover. The Professor is in good shape. Nicely done! I really enjoy the "security camera" perspective and the HG Wells-Time-Machine type levers (not to mention the reference to Brigid's greenish tubes!). Good luck with your work! - Mike

Thank you, my friend! Yeah, I wanted to go classic steampunk with the best parts of Elemental's universe. I'm quite happy with it, and I'm enjoying the work that has come my way as a result.

Thank you, it was an enormous task, haha. It's actually not the final product, believe it or not. There are tweaks I'm working out with Alborough and his cohorts to get it just right for the cover. Are you working on this next comic, as well? I'm in the middle of my illustrations for it, and I realized yesterday that I had no idea who the other artists were, or what the other stories are about.

No idea if I'm in the next one - but there are more comicy things afoot beyond #2

Thank you, sir! Did you vote on the website? If not, would you be so kind as to jump over to professorelemental.com and click on the "Competition!" tab at the top? That's the page, just scroll down and click my name (David Perry). Glad you enjoy my artwork!

Hahaha, fair enough. I actually did cast a vote for Jemma, the only vote I've made, because her spirit in the competition was awesome. I worry because several of the posts there have made it seem as though I've been focusing more on votes than on the artistic value of the pieces in the competition. To an extent, I cannot argue, because I certainly have been promoting myself often and everywhere that I have friends, but in the process I've gotten so many people to enjoy Professor Elemental's music, and really that's what the competition is about. It's free advertising for the Professor, and it was a great way to go about it. I've shared every strategy my friends have discovered, because I really don't wish the competition to be unfair.
I don't know, it's been bugging me, but I'm doing what I can to be as fair as I can. I'm easily shamed, I suppose, but I think I'd do more damage than good if I tried to respond to all of the criticism. Sorry for the little vent here.

wow, i'm super late to this 
Yeah man that's completely fair enough. It was a voting contest and you got the most votes, so you won
And yeah, It's about the music, not the art
To be fair, you posting on so many forums probably got a majority of the traffic through the page, so like, that's really well done 
And grats on winning, you did a good job
Have fun with all the tea
