Yeah, maybe even spend the extra hour on it and mimick old and crusty texture transforms.  
The ones relevant to this are at the bottom. Neo-retro mare and ecstatica mare (An old game with a very unusual and kind of ugly sphere-based renderer)  

@Cammera  
Hm, like PS1 graphics and things like that? I’ll give it a go and see what happens.

@Parallel Black  
Another approach we could take is mimicking old 3D renders. Simple and flat shapes, maybe some cubism, but the way I render stuff doesn’t lend itself to emphasizing that

@Cammera  
Unfourtunately I don’t think I can pull off the effect that I have in mind. Essentially what I’m thinking is a robo-pony styled after the older, bulky home computers, so her torso, butt and head would each be inside a big blocky outer shell, housing her blocky body underneath (outer shell pale yellow-white, underside black like a screen).
 
The troublesome part is how to make such a squarish design look as cute as the bouncy, round shapes ponies usually have…

@JCV  
Lyra.

@Cammera  
I love these.

@Parallel Black  
Yesssss  
Another kind of clunk I want to test is a more dieselpunk approach, IE  
 
But at that point it starts missing the point of data archival. Maybe something like a dieselpunk librarian?

@Cammera  
I’mma try a clunky just to see how she turns out.

Personally i prefer non robot version but i see some people want the robot

@Mcsweezy
 
Ill be honest i think thats perfect! The right amount of pony and robot

@Officer Hotpants  
I’ll wait until the dumping is over before uploading any new art here, otherwise it’ll just be buried in it. Gon  
@Mcsweezy  
i demand the robot be clunky

@Mcsweezy  
Gonna be the voice of dissent here, she reminds me way too much of the EqD mascot with her current colours.

@Mcsweezy
 
I like her shes a cute one.

@Mcsweezy  
My vote is on her, she’s adorable!

@Boxless  
Now you just sound like my high school teachers.

@Officer Hotpants  
Your brain certainly hasn’t caught up then.

@Boxless  
But I only woke up an hour ago!

@Officer Hotpants  
Tired, you’re Hotpants. Bed go to.

@Boxless  
I misread your previous post as “arguments”. I was a bit confused by that.

@Mcsweezy  

 
Scanners? Additional displays? Superficial accessories because her creator/owner thought it was cute?

@Officer Hotpants  
initially she was gonna be a robopone, but I felt the design was a bit too busy  
plus glasses on a robot dont make too much sense  

@Officer Hotpants  
Compromises. Not everyone can/wants to draw mechanical horses.

@Mcsweezy  

 
She’s very cute.

@Cammera  
Oh, and you should upload that here. It’s pretty good.

@Boxless  
I just like the idea of a mecha-horse mascot.
