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...?

Lol, well I saw a t-shirt once that had a giant explosion with the words "Engineering: it's like math, but louder." And I actually am an engineering major, so I guess if it looks good to me then there has to be some merit to that.
