I think this is amazing and am kind of disturbed at the same time.

I have two words for you: Steampunk Taxidermy.

I love this picture! It's an excellent story prompt.

p.s.

I looked at the artist's website and the others are much creepier (esp. the ferret). I admit I'd love these better if they weren't real taxidermied animals; because the ew factor is certainly present.

HUZZAH! I love it! Much easier to wrassle with that key in its back :P

While I really like the idea, I am unbelievably creeped out by that picture. There goes my street cred.

Animal-machine hybrids are a very appropriate thing to be creeped out by. Even the most hardened thug would freak out were he to be confronted in a dark alley by a wolf with a laser eye.

Wow, that's a pretty cool artistic take on the animal machine vs. the mechanical machine. The inappropriate use of the word "steampunk" kind of muddles things though.

[jackshoegazer.livejournal.com]

Muddles, but entertains :D

I wouldn't consider it inappropriate - there's a steampunk object modification style of artwork that incorporates gears and other technological forms into utilitarian or decorative objects. Given the Victorian interest in taxidermy, I would say that these are within that style.

I agree. Fascinating.
