Steamspider (SP: January 2010)

Tired of always feeding your pet? Don't you hate it when it doesn't obey? Can't stand any more grunting, howling and barking?
Then be relieved: Thanks to the new SteamSpider™those times are finally over! Be assured that this cute steam blowing animal puts the PET in perPETual motion!

Finished this in just three days, after all my other ideas failed. Just didn't want to do an ordinary pet and decided to go for something steampunkish.
Well, turned out better than expected I have to admit. 11 colours, 8 frames - enjoy.

needs more legs?

Got some sketches lying around with more legs, looked too full in my opinion though.. And now don't tell me that a spider has more than 4 legs, I know:P

But a spider HAS 8 legs :/ You can't have something with 4 and call it a spider...that's just an quadruped :S

Well, this spider has lost four of its leg in a tragic accident involving a zeppelin. And now pleeease no comments on the legs anymore, but on that what this is about: pixelart. ;)

if were sticking to logic like them two, THERES NO TECHNOLOGY THAT WOULD FIT IN A SPIDER !?!?!?!?!?!?!?! TIS LIKE TINY MON, and were you gunna put the coal to power your steam power spider.

kidding :P

It looks pretty awesome tbf, but didn't something in the theme say make what they feed on and where they live etc.

I like the palette and animation used xD creative idea of robot as pet.

Great piece of steampunk :p

Solved all problems with this edit, took me some hours. I know that it's pretty awesome, so feel free to tell me how much you love it:
