Description
One of the many weird and wonderful inventions found in the vaults of Hollow Fields, this Locoscope can spot a stray atom on a blade of grass 200 miles away - or so its inventor, Doctor Bleak, proclaimed. He disappeared a long time ago, and this is one of his remaining steam-powered works still in operation. Miss Weaver is checking out the Locoscope's capabilities, attended as usual by her faithful maid Miss Notch.Pen + ink, coloured in Photoshop 7.
Deviantart's squashing it down because of the long format - so full view for the full effect!

The really hard part of its construction was getting the locomotive off the rails and attaching it to the scope while it was still running!

I lol Mrs notch is probably really small in real life, because of how young she was when she was turned into an engineer

Why it have the design of an steam train ? XD Beacuse the creator was a mad scientist ?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, the creator was a mad scientist. And because they wanted to recycle the train.

Oh, then thatΒ΄s the answer. Recycling is a very important thing XD

That's a horrifyingly effective invention. 
wonderful composition, I must say. My hat's off to you. ^^

Haha, I was following the train design so closely, I included the cowcatcher by default...now that you mention it, maybe it's to stop stray herds from wandering in front of the lens (blocks the view, y'know)...
Thanks!

Was there a reason for the specific aesthetic? Like maybe they transport the thing on tracks from point A to B? Or the inventor just had a train wreck lying around he wanted to salvage?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's the latter reason - the school is very big on recycling.

w0w you have done an excellent job with this! The detail is simply astounding as well as the coloring and including Notch and Weaver allows us to see how big the Locoscope is in comparison to them!

Yeah, I think I got the size a little wrong though...that's a pretty small steam engine! Maybe it's from a kid's funfair...thanks!

It's more retro, but the same principles apply.
