Winston push the workshop door carefully. He immediately saw Running steam with his unique vision sensor. The tiny mare was sleeping on the metallic floor, hugging on of her open end wrench. The crystal turn his sensor to the reason of the mare’s exhaustion. A huge copper pony in the center of the room, their delicate mechanisms shine peacefully in the oil lamp light.

Winston command try to make a step in silence. His clumsy body filled the workshop of his usual cacophony, mix of clockwork ticking and steam whistling. Winston stop as soon as possible to check if he wick up his friend. but Running sleep peacefully. The little crystal walked cautiously in direction of the mechanic creation.

He studies the wonderful copper pony and have trouble to not stare at it. This will be his future body. A perfect mechanic body : elegant, swift, noiseless and dexterous. A vibration make him turn his attention to running steam again. The earth pony was shivering on the cold floor. Winston grabbed a blanket in a corner to cover his mechanician friend.

Who remember Winston ? Nobody ? That make sense actually : I don’t speak of him since one year ! Oh my poor sentient crystal. I abandoned you last summer !

Here is little summary : Spike find some weird crystal during cave exploration. Twilight go to far with magic and this new crystals. Some of her experiment became alive. This is how Winston appear in pony world. He can control partially metals, so the princesses decided to put him in a zeppelin to use his capacity. Silver Fang, K-Boom and Runnig Steam work in this “living” zeppelin. Aaaaand that’s all.

And last but not least…..this draw is a complete mess !!! That crap is a shame for me, but as it’s a personal draw and not a request I guess it’s ok. I try to used my colored pencil but I’m really bad with them. Plus I try to make to many different things in one draw and it turn bad. But it was an interesting experiment.
I rework on this old concept because the great ChasingtheSilverStag recently draw an amazingly wonderful Steampunk Rarity : fav.me/dbh5iz8
