Keith Thompson creates simply amazing sci-fi art and develops an interesting and absorbing back story for most of his characters, vehicles, devices and robots.

Here’s a particularly oriental design – the Karakuri, which was used to entertain guests with its charming grace as it carefully presents its hosts with tea.

Some features that Keith has written up for the Karakuri:

-Tea for the host and his guest is presented on a laquered tray.
-Tanned skin tubing delivers the compressed air from the main pumps.
-Two pneumatic pumps function as the Karakuri’s prime source of locomotive power.
-Large laquer box contains the cogs and switching boxes that control all the air tubes that lead to the Karakuri.
-Shinto charms are affixed to the engine box, and are said to help instill the Karakuri with a soul.
