Weekly Challenge: Initial
Congrats for the blue ribbon! I agree with Dusty about the steam. Though you have the colors to do some fancy fadeouts I think the effect works great as it is right now.
I thought the steam was the best part. The animation of it is so fluid, and I don't think the solid white detracts from it at all.
Congrats! I knew this would win the week : p
In case you care about the steam:
The main problem with it is that its pure white and appears solid and not trans. Use grey/blues and start light and FADE to darker as it steams.
Yay! My first first place!!! I'm so happy! Thanks everyone for feedbacks and support.
The most frequent comment i received is about the (unshaded) steam. I take note of that, and i will modify it when i got some time!
Oh hey, that is very cool. The pure white steam looks a little strange with everything else being so rendered, and I think some shading would help it, but this is really well done!
Very nice. looking great, itsjust the smoke which needs some shading...
Regards
I think the smoke could have done with a second colour in it to give it more depth like the rest of the pixel. I have to say though that this is a great looking piece! 
great great animation, i really like the smothing smoke.
Hehe, don't worry about it, it could be just me. :) This is how I keep reading it (topdown):

Thanks everyone for the feedbacks!
@Stickman: i think you're right, the white steam is a little out of place, but i've had a hard time with the 12 colors limit, and i wanted the smoke to "stand out" from the rest. But for the most it was a matter of time left.
@Inphy: I choose to use a perpective that looked angled, because i think that is more interesting than full frontal perspective. But i did not expect that it will remind Escher in some way!
@Manupix: i agree for steam dissolve. I did not think of dissolving with color. The black shadow going into the background was to break the straight line of the ground. Maybe unnecessary, but i think it gives more to a flat ground.
Excellently animated! The dial move is impressively smooth.
Only things: steam should dissolve into greys; the black shadow going into the bg was maybe not necessary.
NIce animation Like how the steam rolled into the wheel thing :) Vote
Sweet animation, I especially like the steam and that gear interacting with it. The perspective seems Escherish, but maybe that's on purpose?
Very nice letter and I love the steampunk design. The steam is really nicely animated, although I feel the plain white colour looks a little out of place.
Great pic
amazing animation...gratz on ribbon
