Clockwork Animals II

My last post about a steampunk butterfly, led me to search again for clockwork creations that might fit in a fantasy campaign as monster/artifacts. So, here are a few more arcane creations I found:

A Clockwork Rhino by Pierre Scalaire:


A Clockwork Arachnid by Christopher Conte:


And another by Cazouillette:

A Giraffe by Andrew Chase that I missed in the last post:


It's not even that I'm obsessed with this stuff, but it seems a subject that captures the imaginations of artists and you can actually find examples and illustrations online.

    Are you aware of Theo Jansen? He creates wind-powered "animals" made of plastic tubes. It's hard to describe, but incredible to behold...
