I love her
first is based off the colour palette of the moon that I saw in a space photography exhibition in Hamilton!! A Visit to Tycho by Andrew McCarthy ❤️❤️
second palette is a bit closer to canon colours!! very blue toned but still wanted that patchy crater moon vibe
had fun w the horn tho!! Had the idea that alicorn funky magic personalises their horns somewhat. Her, luna’s horn is held together w a lil singularity!!
more doodles……
captain wuzz is a shanty singing hooligan, and mcbiggun is the poor guy that has to deal with him. he just wants to kill squizzard and go back to his wife, but wuzz keeps pissing off every god on the pantheon
fluttershy is an ancient oath paladin creatively named shyflutter, who is the last worshipper of Entropy, God of Change, and she effectively makes her entire group immune to magic
princess luna is the goddess of moon and night, and patron of hopes, dreams and creativity. her eyes are closed bc she’s experiencing ppls dreams even while conscious and walking around
princess cadence is a toss up atm. She’s the ruler of the crystal empire FOR SURE!! but I don’t know if she should be a god who willingly abandoned her divinity to be w shining armour, or if she’s this AUs version of Helen of Troy.
guy discord is an eccentric weirdo w no social skills who manages to, somehow, consecutively trip upwards from rock bottom. gal discord is walking sex w a wolf cut, a fantastic sense of humor and a revenge streak
Fluttershy is down bad
needed something happy and sweet after all the mlp infection brainstorming. I hope everyone had a fantastic hearts and hooves day!!!
rainy day!!
a lil wholesome sketch of fluttercord protecting each other from the rain. had a rare summer storm over here, so the cozy vibes were through the roof!
the mlp gang plays world of warcraft!! Combining my two godforsaken special interests together yayyy
after the events of the series, with everyone spread out across equestria, they all decide to dedicate themselves to one night of gaming a week to hang out! They decide to play spike’s latest obsession: world of warcraft
twi plays a pandaren arcane mage bc she likes that they’re trying to preserve their history, as well as their harmonious and neutral way of life. the mage part is very obvious
flutters is a highmountain Tauren resto/guardian druid! taurens are chill and gentle and very spiritual, and she likes the big moose horns she gets from the allied race version
pinkie is a goblin!! a goblin outlaw rogue who somehow managed to replace the in game pistol shot with her party cannon and, to this day, none of her friends figured out how she did that. she chose gobby bc they match her crackhead vibe and her gluttony for finger foods
aj is ye olde classic combo of Tauren Prot/Arms warrior from thunder bluff! unlike the others, she didn’t have much of a reason why she chose that race. She just liked how tall and big they are, and thought the bull horns would work well with her hat. Hint: they do!!
The rest are playing alliance!! Dash, Spike, Rarity and the princesses coming soon……. Maybe…..
more post infection fluttershy!!
she wakes up and miss maam has been turned completely to stone. she doesn’t have the need to eat or sleep or anything, and she doesn’t have any sense of sensation. she can hear and see, but doesn’t feel or smell anything. She’s able to talk but only barely, and her voice fails more often than not.
her body is almost wholly stone, except for the magic that holds her together. it’s an incredibly strong magic that doesn’t seem to diminish— which is rlly good, bc the moment she’s not stone, the infection will finish running its course and it’ll be a ✨shitshow✨
might tweak the design more as I fiddle around with this!! For now, I think the stone skin and the forget-me-note are pretty integral parts of her design
unicorns!! specifically, rarity!!
in the polar opposite direction as pegasi, i think that unicorns would envision 'beauty' being decided by either how magically gifted you are. or, in rarity's case, how close you are to looking like a de-winged alicorn!
more than pegasi or earth ponies, i think that unicorns would hold the alicorns in extremely high regard, and set the majority of their beauty standards up against them. a unicorn is attractive based on:
1) how tall they are
2) how powerful they are, and
3) how distinctly their colouring sets them apart from the crowd while still looking clearly like a pony.
as a rare white unicorn w an incredibly stark purple/blue mane, rarity has the third in spades, along with the first due to her ancestral relation to felines.
while not having the sheer magical power of twilight, rarity has incredibly refined control that lets her levitate a large amount of different objects without ever making a mistake. i.e, controlling needles, spools, measuring tapes, and bolts of fabric while using the sewing machine at the same time.
this is all to say. the world is very very lucky that rarity became a seamstress instead of a model, bc the world would've been extremely screwed!!
oh!!
rarity had a bit of a wild youth in her teen years. she subscribed to the philosophy of 'work hard, party hard', and probably still would be if her friends weren't so allergic to canterlot!! one day she'll get fluttershy and applejack into a nightclub, mark her words!!
guard dog rarity scaring away the big bad ponies while fluttershy goes for a walk, yeehaw
element of magic vs element of magic!!
quick colour blocking and sketch. how would a Celestia of thousands of years ago react to a bunch of her (supposed) subjects rejecting her commands and defending a tyrannical (albeit depressed) discord?
WELL
I imagine that, similar to how twilight is a prodigy of magic in the modern age, Celestia was the same back in her prime. the key difference between the two is that twilight wanted to learn everything, while Celestia and Luna were forced to prioritise and develop combat magic over everything else due to how violent the world was back then
