Clockwork Animals


Andrew Chase's mechanical animals seem to have been around for a while, but they're new to me. This seems especially relevant to me because I was recently thinking of some posts on clockwork creatures but just couldn't come up with illustrations I was satisfied with. I like these, they seem rough enough to fit in a fantasy milieu but elegant enough to appear as if they were crafted by the best engineers of the ancients.


There are some more pictures here.
