Description I needed to do a more serious piece of rat artwork. It's kind of sad that my definition of 'serious' rat artwork is a steam punk rat. Yes, Liz, very serious indeed.


anyhow, i'm rather fond of it.

referenced the rat pose from this photograph: [link]

Tinker is the Mechanic, Cap'n Clink Whiskerton is his captain [link]

After hearing that Pet Rats become popular among english nobility in Victorian era (same as steampunk usually is set in) I find your artwork very fitting <3

OMFG AWESOME AWESOME!

Okay, now that that's out of my system. I never really thought about rats and steampunk together but this piece made me realize that rats are the perfect animal representation of steampunk art and culture. They're ingenious, resourceful, tough, and not afraid to get dirty. I always thought of steampunk having a post-apocalyptic sort of appeal and rats are definitely clever and hearty enough to survive any kind of disaster.

...I can't help but throw another AWESOME into this comment.

thank you. ^_^ Yes, i think the clever personality of rats really makes them fit in well in any of those universes. Glad you like the image. ^_~
