Description
I noticed that there weren't that many robo-ponies around, if you leave Sweetie Bot out: and it was such a shame. That's why this OC of mine popped out and I made this picture! The scene I wanted to draw was something like "Destroyed-Future-Earth-abandoned-to-its-destiny", and that's exactly what's going on in there: and since it's about "future" Earth, you cannot not have robots. And here's one, trying to contact the inhabitants of the planet who had run away from it centuries ago: still the days, the months and the years pass and nothing happens. What remains now is almost nothing and the most important thing is to try to preserve those little scatters of life which survived through the ages. I don't know (because I just drew the picture and did not think of a precise background) if that robot is sentient or is just following its programmation, but it's still attempting to communicate. I hope it turned out good, it's my first time trying to do some big and complex drawing like this.And again , some trivia:
- Yes, those things on her mane and tail are solar panels: totally the only power source you could rely on if you were stuck on a desolated planet!
- Considering drawing (by hand) and coloring (digitally), 31 hours were spent for its construction (of course, not consecutive);
- The paper with the "Leave" thing on it has actual words in it, even if because of their little dimension they're practically unreadable;
- There are some things I drew by hand but then canceled in the final version of the work: the biggest one was a sign placed next to the road;
- Finally, the "red and white" pattern on those bricks on the left was planned two seconds before coloring them: originally, they had to be completely red.
And, last but not least... I just created that pony for this drawing, so I didn't even come up with a name. I wonder which one could fit...?

Good thing robots have no feelings or else this one would have died a long time ago out of depression.

-Arc. Data: date -unknown-
The word we know. Us, robots are the only residents of this planet. Years of weather interfering caused the climate to collapse, rendering this world incapable for organic beings. Everypony either left through portals to other worlds, or went offline a long time ago(is that a good word? I belive organics used the word "dying"). The planet is clear now. The UV radiation level below critical. Oxygen scanners oscylate around 20%. Our civilisation try to endure among ruins of your cities. But we can't hold forever. We require energy. Energy that we can't produce on our own. Power plants are old. Solar panels crack.
I'm sending this message. If you get this, please, deliver it to the nearest organic being. You are our only hope for [survival].

Here's a name
S.E.V.A
Search for Extra-Vehicular Activity
Reason being is that I also imagine that finding a signal would also mean finding a ship so that is the "Extra-Vehicular"

Wow. Great work, both through the art and your ideas! You really did dapture what you were trying to say quite well! Really! Bravo! Maybe you could make this into a story-ish series? Like each drawing shows manor developments? This would be good if you are trying to develop this OC. Also, a name, you could go for either a series of numbers/letters in no order (P-0N7), or a name like GlaDOs (Portal reference) and give it more of a personal feel. Maybe it was a robot serving a family or a specific person who made it recognize a different name than it's number (i.e. scientist gives helper bot a name to feel more personal). Just some ideas so that you can think of a name.

Uhm... a story? I am already up to something similar, but with a totally different plot ( Midnight Eclipse ). But if someone wants to create a story about it, they're absolutely free to do it! ^^

KingArthur5 In reply to labba94 [2013-05-28 05:52:19 +0000 UTC]
Ok. I caught up with Misnight Eclipse and it's AWESOME that you have two very different art styles: one like this that is super detailed and another for comics! Really cool! This would make an interesting story, but I'm no writer. If I was, I would take inspiration from this pic to make the story, just like how Kkat wrote "Fallout: Equestria" after being inspired by a pic that is now the cover art for his story.

Head canon: She's like WALL-E, has become sentient, but is still following it's programming.
One day, a new robot comes, and they fall in love, eventually going a journey back to the spaceships where the real ponies live, who have become whale like.
Yeah it's the plot of WALL-E but so what? I need something to distract me from the sheer depression this situation invokes.

This is fantastic. The robo-pony's design is cute; notably her big adorable glass eyes, but I like all the other stereotypical robot traits you have her.
It borders on sad, watching this robot use her own energy just to power her appliances (especially watering her pathetic little flowerbed), and the sight of this adds to the sense of loneliness in the pic.
Not sure I can come up with any good names... Pixel?

MillenniumFalsehood [2013-05-22 18:58:37 +0000 UTC]
Awesome concept! I love the style of the setting here, and your Equidroid.
The idea that the mane and tail are solar panels is pretty cool considering there are flexible solar panels already in existence, and I love that the 'droid's body is not just a pony body with metal seams but one which looks as though it might work.
As far as names go, I had a few technical-sounding ones come to mind:
Servo Encoder
Overclock
Positron

labba94 In reply to MillenniumFalsehood [2013-05-22 19:05:34 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I spent a lot of time figuring out how a cyberpony had to be drawn to be as much realistic as possible, even though I'm no engineer (I'm a mathematician, not really the same thing ). But thanks! ^^
And yeah, your names are pretty cool: if I had to choose one, these would be obvious candidates!
