The famous scholar Twilight Sparkle with her trusty helperbot of the smile-series, Pinkie Pie, which went out of production years ago due to a much too high explosion-rate. Good thing Twilight knows her way around a wrench or two.

Yeah, I've been bitten by the steampunk-bug again, mostly due to the amazing work of DrDissonance [link]

There's a story here beyond the obvious. Whenever I see this image, I keep thinking about what rights robot-ponies would have in a victorian-style Equestria.
Which is to say, close to none! 
How strange must it seem to the common pony, then, how outlandish a notion to the nobility, that the mystical forces of Harmony itself chose a machine as one of its Element-bearers.
And, just like that, Smile-Unit "Pinkie Pie" #776 finds herself unexpectedly at the front-lines of a civil-rights movement for automaton-ponies...

Heh, thank you! It's not so much a headcanon as it is just an alternate universe, though.

You know, you haven't told us how Twilight Sparkle lost her leg, some sort of accident while experimenting with magic?
And also, how Applejack lost both hindlegs?
π: 0 β©: 1
Huh, I was so sure I did...
Twi lost her leg one time when Pinkie exploded, Applejack didn't lose hers, but got them replaced so her work wouldn't wear her hooves and spine down. It was courtesy of Rarity >w<
π: 0 β©: 1
Ouch.
Applejack traded her organic legs for mechanical ones. 
Still, it's weird how somepony traded away something what belongs to their body.
Wait, if Pinkie Pie exploded, hadn't she died?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, Twilight repaired her >w<
π: 0 β©: 1
Silly question.
Still, I don't expect somepony explode dand still live or come back.

The P1NK13 model's software is riddled with what some call bugs and some call features.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ooh, a call? Who's calling? If somepony's calling, somepony else should pick up the phone or they won't know why the first somepony was calling in the first place! Maybe it's important! *gasp* Maybe it's a party-invitation! Oh gosh, I'd better pick up the phone or I'll miss it!
Hello? HEL-LOOO? Hey, what's that beeping sound? What? No, on -your- end. Can you hear me? HEL-LOOOOO!
*puts down phone with a pout*
There wasn't a free bar.

Did you aim for the celestial style about twilight's horn? or kind of an unintended work?
π: 0 β©: 1
I honestly just drew what made more sense to me while not being too discordant with the style. As for the shape of her magic, I was trying to make it look like a cog, although that's not all that visible, unfortunately XD;;
π: 0 β©: 1
It is why I asked about the celestia style, her symbol is very very symmetrical in such a way to be construed and interpreted that way. But thank you for the quick replies on both questions.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'm not quite sure I'm entirely aware of what you mean by celestia-style. Care to enlighten?
You yeah, you're quite lucky with the replies, I have a bad habit of disappearing over long periods of time at random TwT;;
π: 0 β©: 1
Celestia's own mark, is very symmetrical, to the point of being able to bisect it from any angle in a middle cut if memory serves right. The nature of twilights own mark has a kind of halfway point between celestia's own, and luna's free flowing one. You very aptly, and uniquely put into twilight what many miss, the symbolism of what twilight is in its meaning, and the balance between each. And even into the design of both clothing, and appearance too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oohh, now I see! I'm afraid that's entirely coincidental, I didn't even think as far as that ^^'
But thank you very much none the less! >w<

I tend to look at things a little different for symbolism, often noting little nuances while missing bigger pictures as they aren't exactly seen at the differences. But you are very welcome. And I hope you have a good day.

I know I just commented on this a couple weeks ago, but it's seriously one of my favorite things ever. I'm using it as my desktop background. I just... I just love it. I wish everyone in the world could see it and appreciate all the amazing detail you put into it. One glance, and there's a whole story in my head, with a whole new UNIVERSE tagging along beside it. Ponies are awesome, robots are awesome, steampunk is awesome, and YOU are awesome.
Also... is that a picture of Celestia on Twilight's brooch?
π: 0 β©: 1
Fgsfds oh my Celestia, you are so sweet! >//w//< thank you so much! And yes, it is! I'm so happy someone actually noticed that, despite er lack of wings XD
You're such a gem, thank you! Thank you so very much! >//w//<
π: 0 β©: 0
The exploding "smile-series"! XD That killed me!
These ideas are just brilliant. I love this one. Outfits are stunning, as usual, and your portrayal of Twilight's magic around her horn is very cool. Fits the rest of the picture perfectly, like a cog. Brilliant work.
π: 0 β©: 1
Eeeeeehh, thank you so much! >w< I really try my best to bring quality drawings to you guys, I'm glad they at the very least turn out acceptable TwT And bring a laugh and a giggle where I can too XD 
π: 0 β©: 1
You are so, so, SO very welcome! You definitely deserve it. I don't know how anyone who saw this could possibly dislike it. The quality and creativity are just too good.
And also I've been staring and laughing at that little hug-scene in the middle of your comment for, like, three minutes. That is so ridiculously cute and funny.

this reminds me of a weird headfanon of mine. I'm a bit of a twilight pinkie shipper, and I can totally see twilight in the lead role of this song: [link] . if you want me to explain the story more in-depth just ask
π: 0 β©: 1
My God, the chorus of that song is beautiful... TwT And I think I can see what you're getting at, that's a cool story! >w<
π: 0 β©: 1
did you check out their other song as well?
π: 0 β©: 1
I wanted to but I couldn't! T___T
π: 0 β©: 1
[link] it appears their websites are down for the moment. here's their other song.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you very much! It's an awesome song! >w<

they've got a new one out now. a quick google search for the clockwork quartet should get you to their homepage. from there just click on the phonograph at the bottom.

LOL! XD How does Pinkie still looks happy and playful as a robot? XD
π: 0 β©: 1
It's the wide eyes and the big smile that does it XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehehe! I guess you're right! XD Great job with her and Twilight; they both look great!
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww, thank you so much! ^w^ I'm just glad to bring likeable art to the people >w<
π: 0 β©: 1
Heh, no need to thank me! As you yourself said; you're the one creating the art for us to enjoy! WE should be thanking YOU!
π: 0 β©: 0
FFFFFtt, this is so amazing and creative! The outfits and mechanisms built into the ponies is mind-blowing! Q,Q You really worked hard at creating these designs! XD
...Can you make prints and shirts of these? *shot*
π: 0 β©: 1
Omg, I hadn't though about that as an option O.o
Well, if I could I would, provided it would actually be profitable for me... No need selling if people ain't buying TwT;;

OK, here's the idea. All the steampunk ponies are all equipped with metal cogs, steam, Carnot heat engines and Victorian outfits. How about electricity and hot air balloons? Cool electricity steampunk can be inspired by the totally crazy Tesla. The balloons were also a great hit in the Industrial Era. For example, small decorations of hot air balloons were once popular on French furniture. Hans Christian Γrsted wrote poetry series Luftskibet ("The Airship"), inspired by the balloon flights of fellow physicist and stage magician Γtienne-Gaspard Robert.
Also, Twilight is already using balloons and electricity in the show, making this more in-universe style.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, I know about Γrsted, I'm pretty sure my teachers made me read some of his stuff in school... I am, after all, Danish TwT
And that's definitely an interesting idea >w< Although, as is apparent from my drawings, I'm more lenient towards -steam-punk and not as much electricity-inspired stuff... Though it might be worth looking into, thanks >w<
