Also serves as a steampunk companion to my other cyberpunk piece.

Cute, but one programming error and that fluffy’s gunna tap-dance right off a cliff.
A punched card that size can reliably store what, 650 bytes or so?

Side note: I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a real medallion, but the cross on the shelf looks like a Ritterkreuz. If it was silver though then it would be closer to a Victoria Cross which would be far less problematic.

Laura’s a highly trained professional! Or at least has reached that level through trial and error (to Dolly’s chagrin, I imagine). Also, and since Steamfluffs is a highly advanced Steampunk world, the punch cards have a lot more data then that.

Holy shit. Just like in the cyberpunk one!

Bookend Fluffies; raised as conversationalists.

——————
A swarthy man, with drink in hand,
Is well met with this dear pet
Though job and wife do stress, to this young Fluff confess
Their speech is flawed, this is well true, but they have more to offer you
Dull in mind but listens well! To them all your woes can tell.
Fear not reprise! They can’t remember! Their sweet eyes, their voice quite tender
Will comfort you as in your youth, when cocaine did numb mouth and tooth

To pain and stress say ‘its enuff’ and bring home a new comfort Fluff!

I love steampunk, and I think this is the first time it’s ever used with fluffies! Nice cybernetic Rarity too! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Actually, there was one Steampunk image from 2012 on the old booru, along with a fic, but they’ve yet to be reuploaded. Also, you should check out the story that this is an illustration of :3

Yes they are - Dolly is actually a pillowfluff due to an accident, but Laura gave her those legs. Originally she was supposed to ride a steam-powered sedan, but the noise and heat scared her.

Interested to see Dolly receive her updated legs so she can go as she pleases.

Please tell me that the flying contraption is an ornithopter.
I would absolutely love to see a fluffy flying with ornithopter wings.

I love when pillowfluffs get cool prosthetic replacement! This art style is so pretty too and I love the whole steampunk concept!

Its weird how steampunk which started as a joke aimed at cyberpunk (the movement not the game) ended up becoming bigger than the thing it was mocking
