that's an interesting point. i think there are two key differences here:
- as you pointed out yourself, konqi has an enormous emotional
  significance. changing now is some 100 times harder than when he was
  introduced. especially without really good reasons.
- nobody tried to market konqi as kandalf 2.0 (and as far as i'm
  concerned, that would be only about twice as absurd as the current
  proposal).

as far as i can see, there are two reasonable ways to put the outcome of
the contest to use:
- ignore the actual artwork and put the artist to good use to actually
  modernize konqi (which is kinda what nuno implied)
- make the new artwork even more dissimilar to a dragon, stop claiming
  that it is the new konqi, and try to organically introduce it as
  something entirely new

these options are not mutually exclusive, for that matter.
