A cute mechanical creature resembling a dachshund, made of brass and steel with a magnifying glass head, pencil legs, insect wings, and a glowing emerald heart.

A tiny mechanical homunculus made entirely from drafting and artisan tools. Head The round glass circle of a magnifying glass is the head. The magnifying glass handle is the body/torso. Two small screw heads are mounted on the rim of the magnifying glass circle as cute eyes. Body The handle of the magnifying glass forms the full torso. A faceted, glowing emerald gem-heart is set into the upper part of the handle. Wings A pair of scissor handles only (no blades) are attached to the sides of the body like wings. Inside each scissor handle loop is a thin, translucent gossamer membrane, insect-like. Legs The creature has two drafting compasses, one mounted on each side of the lower body. Each compass provides two legs → four legs total. On each compass: The pencil tip is the front leg. The metal point is the rear leg. The legs are angled like dog legs, giving it a low, long dachshund-like silhouette. Overall Vibe Cute, friendly, mechanical creature. Brass/steel with slight wear. Low to the ground, long body like a weiner dog. Emerald heart glowing faintly. Wings flutter by moving the gossamer membranes inside scissor handles. See more
