Artist's Comments
Finally, I was able to come up with a Steampunk K-9 design that I was satisfied with. The other designs are available for viewing in my scraps:
V.1 - [link]
V.2 - [link]
And I just hit 2000 pageviews!! w000t!!!
I wanted to "Victorian-ise" K-9's design, but still retain his original "box body" shape. This was difficult, because Victorians had a definite preference for making things "anatomically correct," in keeping with their "everything's an art work" mentality. To accomplish both of my goals, I figured I'd simply make the "leg" shapes on the corners more leg-like, even if K-9 still just gets around on wheels. This took a few tries to get right.
I originally had a LOT more details on K-9, but I felt that it made him look cluttered, and fractured the focus point. Just in case you're wondering why he's somewhat lacking in Victorian flair.
Oh, and the "grinders" up front is his "fuel intake," where he can wheel over sticks and such to fuel his steam generators. He's pictured with his doors open for the benifit of the viewer.

I actually like the legs a lot; you can still see the "box" shape if you're looking for it, but now he looks more like an actual dog and less like a quasi-robot.
The clockwork panels and the etching on the sides of his head are especially nice touches, as is the "Keep Hands Clear" above the grinders. That kind of polite courtesy is very K-9!
All in all, a wonderful likeness and an improvement in many ways. Bravo!
And yes, it was all your idea.
Btw, get on MSN!! lol

The details are excellent, just the right balance between detail-ful and simple.

R.O.U.S.'s do exist!!

Anyway, a "steampunk" story is any story that takes place in the Victorian era, or a world resembling the Victorian era (an "alternate universe") that usually deals with or features certain technological advancements that did NOT exist back then...but those "advancements" have to be built using technology and materials available during that time. This robot dog obviously wasn't around back then, but I redesigned him to look as if he was invented back in the 1880s. "Futuristic" or "high-tech Victorian" is a better description of steampunk.
The movie "Wild, Wild West" (even though I think it's a filthy movie that I've never seen the whole thing of) was steampunk, albeit the Western variation of basic steampunk, since it takes place in the Old West.
Does that clear things up??
