Inspired by Shirt.Woot

I often buy silly shirts for my husband from shirt.woot.com.  They have design contests and it's always fun to see what people come up with.  The other day I stumbled upon one I really like called clockwork seahorse.  I must admit that I love steam punk.  There's something about all the gears and little pieces that fascinates me.

Here is a picture of it:

One thing that I always try to do when designing from an inspiration is to change it lots and make it my own.  I can see doing something like this with a different animal and incorporating all the cool gears into the design.  Perhaps a turtle or a rhino or a hippo?
