Description I am actually pretty surprised Gearstuck is not a thing already! Or at least, if it is I haven't seen it.

This is not super steampunky at all; note lack of superfluous buckles, goggles, and gears. Also note the many many textures that purportedly make up for lazy/lack of coloring and background.

I don't know, it's just a doodle. IInspired by Shatterstag /Grimarious 's fabulous fantasy WIP Never Trust a Troll . More specifically, inspired by this line: “You know,” he says as one point, “I had a… friend. He was great at mechanics and engineering things.”

This makes me want to start a whole new line of steampunk homestuck pictures. Never mind the fact that I have about a billion WIPs, mostly for the ever-expanding T8L AU.

This is also the least amount of effort I've put into a picture in a long while! It took me maybe two hours from start to finish, cutting corners and texturing over mistakes the entire way. I was originally going to go the lineless route, but halfway through was like FUCK THAT let's go with what's comfortable and familiar.

Aw, you are too sweet! Honestly, with most of this stuff I'm just amazed people haven't thought of it before. I mean, steampunk is pretty popular! (or at least it was popular like a year ago)

You know what, that is kind of surprising, isn't it? Maybe they were just waiting for someone who could actually pull it off, like you?

Haha...more likely all the other artists decided to do more original ideas instead of my mix-and-match approach. I'm having fun, though.

Well, I think your approach is original, and lovely. So... there. Or something~

Thank you--can't take credit for the glasses though, that's all Homestuck.

I've seen steampunk homestuck fanart before, but I haven't seen any steampunk AUs. (then again I don't read much fanfic)

Huh, really? I haven't seen any! Then again, what with the vastness that is homestuck fandom, it is probably pretty easy to miss 99% of the art.
