I like Robert's, its pretty cool that he made that by hand.

I got a couple more pics of my Lego Centurion up on my MoCpage. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/104548

Very nice concepts. Well done!

That being said, DVICE's slide show could use some work. Full page refresh to show a new image? Very 1990s.

Lotta cool stuff! I especially like the Bill Anstett one and second row from bottom second in from right really good stuff! And ofcourse mine second from left top row

A lot of these look good, but some just look like generic steam punk robots. I think anyone who didn't give there robot a visor with one red eye should not be a runner up. Just not a Cylon without that.

As one of the final (twenty) five, I think it'd be neat to give some at least name credit to the entrants. I'd like to know who some of these people are who did such good work.

well 2 of them are mine 6 in a vic dress and the 70's revamp with 1 eye 2 out of over 50 sent in those in my opinion werent the best of them, I like 6 it was a quick one for a cylon in the 1800's

Nice stuff! The winner really deserves kudos. I submitted one to the contest but I guess it didn't make the cut. Here it is on my deviant art account: http://daleicious.deviantart.com/art/Steampunk-Cylon-113371857 I knew I couldn't win 'cuz I'm in Canada but I hoped to get shown on the page. Sigh.

You all did great jobs on your cylons and I just wanted to thank dvice for hosting this contest

Not bad at all. The winner resembles one of Baron Wulfenbach's battle clanks from Girl Genius.

Does anyone know if this page features all of the entries or if this is a top 25 type list?

LIQUIDPZA its just the top 25 I know I sent in over 50 alone

Mine was the first picture of the first row. I think everyone did good. I thought it was fun even if I didn't win, can't wait for another contest like this. That would be fun. :)

great stuff!! very good!!!

daleicious: Great job on yours. definitely runner up quality in my book if not outright contender for winner. I think DVICE really needed to separate the contest into two categories - models and renderings. While working with a rendering takes much skill, building a model can be a more difficult and noteworthy project. And a big props should go for out of the box thinking for the victorian six.

I think the 6 in the victorian dress was an awsome idea I think it should have won, ECLECTRO is right its outside the box

Shawn Sharp is my favorite. both of his (the partial faced skin job and the centurion) are very steampunk styled with very a propos art. The partial faced skin job in particular would make extremely good book art.

In my opinion shawn sharp won this competition. His artwork is awesome. After looking at all the top 25 I found that he really captured the spirit of a steampunk cylon. Good work.

Shawn Sharp FTW!!

I think the 6 in the dress and 4th one row 6 should have been tied for first

In my opinion I also think there should have been several winners in different catagories Shawn Sharp for best art work, Robert Christiansen for a built one, Ronnie Gamble JR. for antique photo, and Jason Jordan for the photoshop/out of the box 6 in the victorian dress.

I really like the one that has the dead person's face bolted to it. Makes me think of the first skin jobs. I think it should have gotten higher mentions too. One would think that people would want the cylons to look as human-like as possible, especially if they had to live with them. Just a thought. Love it though.

the one by Omar Todd is great!! I love the worn paper look.

Wow I didn't expect to get in the top 25... that being said it's Omar Todd not Todd Omar. Thanks for hosting the contest!!

My entry was the second runner-up (the "DaVinci-style" sketch).

When designing my entry, I tried to avoid making it a generic steampunk robot by giving it plenty of trademark Cylon parts, and "retro-designing" them (as it were) to their Victorian parallels. For example, a Steampunk Cylon probably wouldn't have a glowing light moving back and forth as it's "eye" - that's too high-tech. My Cylon has a scope on a slider, a monoscopic lens which passes over a row of multispectral imagers, each of which captures an image through the lens and sends the information back to the Cylon's original digital brain (supplimented by analog circuits and vacuum tubes to repair the damage from the hypothetical crash-landing in Victorian times), which translates and compounds the images into a moving-picture "sight" through which the Cylon can see.

I also kept certain parts of its body similar to the original, space-age design - just retrofitted. If the damaged Steampunk Cylon had to rebuild parts of his body with Victorian technology, I'm sure it would want to make the replacement parts resemble its original parts as closely as possible.

I don't understand how this can be the top 25 though honestly. There is some good work in here but how the heck does a tin man with a silly photoshopped red dot for an eye make top 25? Same thing with the face shopped into a victorian dress. Thats not even a cylon I could have grabbed a pic from Dato on star trek and put a different head on him and said theres a cylon. Anyway thought it was interesting, good job for the most part.

eclectro: Thanks for checking our my off-page version, and for the kind words!

Wow Jonas. Way to pick people out and tell them how crappy of a job they do. Don't you think that ..I don't know people are just doing it for gun. This was not intended for people who have superior photoshop skills. Yes, I know you all have opinions but it is necessary to be rude?

Fun of it I meant

Steampunk Cylon design contest?
Got to love science fiction robots, no calculating forwar or reverse kinematics, dynamics, motor torques, trajectories, sampling, fb, etc. for flexible link manipulators
