I'm in art fight :)

(Sorry nothing's loading, the sight always crashes when I need it most)

Not sure what team I'll be picking yet, heavily leaning towards fossils.

I do counter attacks if yall wanna attack me 👀

And lastly, Twilight AND Spike 😌

I really like fluffy Twilight. And I wanted to give her a funky haircut. Like she's a princess, but she's still very much an unkempt nerd. I gave her sparkles all over because I thought it was cool.

Spike now only walks on all 4's, since he was raised by ponies and never learned how to walk properly. Later when he does meet dragons and tries to walk on 2 legs, he realizes his spine is permanently altered to accommodate walking on 4's, meaning he will have difficulties trying to walk normal. It't not pictured here, but he has a mark on his flank that resembles Twilight's cutie mark. When she hatched him, her magic was imbedded into him, giving him his fire magic. He's also not actually a fire dragon. In my au, there are multiple types of dragons. Ponies are only familiar with fire dragons because their lands are fairly close to Equestria, and their migration routes are directly above populated pony areas. I have more information about this in my Spike dedicated post.

In my rewrite, Twilight's dad is an earth pony, and her mother isn't very magically gifted. Twilight and Shining Armor definitely got the long end of the stick. They're both extremely gifted unicorns, being enrolled in Celestia's school for gifted unicorns. Twilight reminded Celestia of Luna and adored having her by her side and teaching her all sorts of tricks. It broke Celestia the day a young Twilight came to her with a story about the Mare In The Moon. The lies that were twisted to make her sister seem like some mysterious tyrant. It was the first and only time she'd ever snapped at Twilight. She felt awful, but it pushed Twilight to do more digging into the subject. She eventually found a book about Luna and her eventual corruption and how she was sealed into the moon. It took her a long time to calculate when exactly Luna would escape, and when she did she went straight to Celestia, who sent her off to Ponyville before she had the chance to say anything.

RAINBOW DASH!!

I changed her a bit from my original redesign as well. I liked the colors I chose, but I thought giving her this awesome spikey-lightning bolt shaped hair would be cool.

And again, I really like her original character and I LOVE her parents. I don't care if people say she's narcissistic and rude, The whole point of the show is that they go through lessons of friendship and growing as friends.

And NOBODY can convince me to swap her and AJ's elements. In my eyes, Rainbow isn't honest. She's blunt and blurts things out without thinking, and it's usually not something that's helpful when it comes to friendship. I do like people's ideas for giving them DIFFERENT elements though, like what Celestia was saying when Twilight became an alicorn. Like imagine being the Element Of Ambition. That sounds cool asf. Although, kids wouldn't even know what that means, so.

Anyways, Happy Pride to Rainbow Dash.

RARITY!!!!!

She's another one of my redesigns I tweaked a bit.

I made her main more of a deep indigo color and put knitting needles in her main to hold it up because I thought it looked cute. Gave her some glasses, a mole, and her cutie mark is a geode to represent her ability to see the beauty in anyone/anything 😌

She's basically the same in my rewrite. I really like her character, I have a love for sassy characters. Some personal gripes I have about the way she gets written sometiems though... oh boy. Mostly in the later seasons.

First of all, I hate the Gabby and Spike episode because Rarity's behavior about Spike was just... odd. I think she'd be upset about her little mining buddy spending less time with her, almost like seeing a little brother grow up and becoming his own dragon. Overall, her relationship with Spike would be more of an aunt and her nephew.

And secondly, I hate how they tried to gaslight us into believing Rarity and Rainbow had nothing in common and that they weren't friends. There were already so many pre-established episodes that showed them spending time together and enjoying each other's company. THEY COULD HAVE GONE TO THE SPA!!!!!! Rainbow Dash is shown to like dressing up from time to time, and Rarity would go with Rainbow to accompany her to Wonderbolt's practice when she was only a reserve. I will not fall for the Rarity and Rainbow not liking each other propaganda.

And in my au, I'm not really a big fan of her boy-crazy attitude, and I think she would focus more on her work and her career. And she may or may not have her eyes on somepony else...

Fluttershy 😌

I did tweak my original redesign a bit. I simplified it, removed the mud on her legs, gave her less flowers in her mane, and removed some of her markings.

I did want her to be very doe-like. Gave her deer markings on her nose, and I thought if I gave her freckles on her back they would look like fawn spots. Also gave her dainty little hooves.

Overall, I wanted her color palette to be much warmer and gave her an earthy green eye color, rather than the teal she has in canon.

Her personality still stays the same, of course.

I actually really need to figure out what exactly I want for this AU. Idk if I want it to be a rewrite of the main show, or if I want to change more. Maybe I can make a separate AU with even more tweaks to their characters. I have a lot written down for the princesses and the rest of the creatures.

[doomsderry]

AppleJack!!

I did alter her appearance slightly. I also cannot draw braids, so I simplified her mane.

I probably haven't talked about this, but their elements will stay the same. I never really liked the idea that her and Rainbow should switch elements, because Rainbow was blunt in a way that wasn't helpful to the situation her friends were dealing with. And yes AJ lied, but she was honest when it came to talking to her friends. And if she wasn't, it was the main focus of the episode.

Anyway, AJ stays relatively the same. I really like her already, but when she was a foal she grew up faster than she would have liked. The farm was so glum without her parents, and with everyone in mourning. Chores felt like a hassle, baby Applebloom's crying kept her up, and their work load doubled. Bright Mac and Buttercup were strong, hard workers. Aj and Big Mac were too young to do it all alone, and Granny was getting up in ages. Work was a bit harder for her than it used to be. Plus, caring for 3 young foals alone wasn't easy. Aj, wanting a change of pace, decides to move in with her Aunt and Uncle Orange. They were both excited to have her, they always wanted a foal. They pampered her to no end, fed her so many fancy meals, bought her cute clothes (despite her not understanding why ponies need clothes), and gave her anything she wanted. What she really wanted was her old life back. She would reminisce about playing with her parents on the farm, and how much she missed everyone. After a few months, Aunt and Uncle Orange had Babs Seed! Aj wanted to be happy for them, but all she could see was her baby sister. After seeing a rainbow pointing her back home, she took it as a sign.

I'M SO SORRY FOR MY INNACTIVITY!!

I've been focusing more on updating my ocs, and creating more designs.

I finally made Pinkie Pie design I like. The og was cute, but just didn't feel like Pinkie to me and I wanted to do my girl justice. I also wanted to try a newer art style. It's closer to the one I tried for my Valentines series. (I know a promised part 3 but I just wasn't vibing with it 💔)

In my AU, she's part pegasus, so her pink-ness is a recessive gene she got from her pegasus grandmare. (Earth ponies typically have more natural fur colors, while Pegasai and unicorns have unnatural coat colors).

AJ and Pinkie are also second cousins, and Mrs. Cake is Pinkie's aunt. (I will be doing a family tree at some point, just need to finish the redesigns for the Pie family)

[doomsderry]

Yay me my body is completely covered in hives. From head to toe. Im going to urgent care in the morning but I probably wont be able to draw for a while, I'll probably force myself to write up some lore for my finished redesigns. In the meantime, here's my furry oc and his pet rolly polly

[doomsderry]

little something I had on my mind, thought to share

[doomsderry]

I split these into 2 parts because some of these ships are a hear me out.

HEAR ME OUT. PLEASE.

I left some ships out, I do have ship kids for Lyra x Bon Bon, Octavia x Vinyl, and Soarin x Braeburn.

Some characters I'm either having a hard time coming up with who to ship them with, or I just don't see them having kids. Personally, I don't see Maud and Mudbriar having kids. They have Twiggy and Boulder, that's all the responsibility they need.

And I came up with a funny ship for Prince Blueblood x a random royal guard pony but cmon do you REALLY think Prince Blueblood would raise a foal? 🤨

[doomsderry]

Out of all of my PERSONAL next gen au kids, which would you like to see next?

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY PREVIOUS POLLS!! This is my personal next gen au, any other designs, I'll most likely sell because I wont do anything with them 😭

I already posted Cheese x Pinkie kids, go check them out!

This is also separate from my redesign series and closer to canon. Some things from my redesign au will stay the same though because they are my personal headcanons and I'm biased.

I also plan on knocking Cadence and Shining Armor's kids out of the way next because they also have a lot, they're tied with Pinkie and Cheese for having the most kids 😭 I figured we could get the biggest families out of the way first.

[doomsderry]

I promise I'm working on the last part for my valentines series, but look at my Cheese x Pinkie next gen kids aren't they cute?

I decided Lil' Cheese's full name would be Cheesecake and Lil' Cheese would just be a nickname. And yes, Lil' Cheese is canonically a boy, they just used a filly base for him.

I am using canon kids for my next gen, however I am giving them slight redesigns.

Choc' Chunk, Strawberry Swirl, and Vanilla Bean are triplets, and Banana Split is the baby of the bunch.

I don't really have any lore for them yet, they were kinda just for fun.

Please donate even a little money. 🙏🇵🇸🖤💚🤍❤

Part 2!!

I would have posted this sooner and then posted the final part today but I was struggling finding a pose I liked, and then I've been busy with work.

I love TwiPie so much they're so cute. I love bubbly girl and her nerdy girlfriend.

They're baking a cake together.

[doomsderry]

It's almost Valentine's Day so I thought I'd draw my favorite main 6 ships, starting with my beloved Rarishy 💜💛

While I don't have a partner to spend Valentine's Day with, I still really love the holiday for the aesthetic. I love all the cute decor and plushies that come out during this time of year. Shoutout to all the singles this year. You are seen 🫶

Edit: I forgot to mention that I wanted to try out a style closer to the show! I'm sure the eyes give it away that it's still my style, I love drawing the irises and the little eyeshines its my favorite part!

[doomsderry]

The barely recognizable Rockhoof!

Sorry y'all, I hate his design. It's awful. The only thing I kept was the eye color and the wraps on his legs. Just slightly altered.

Now, I'm not SUPER familiar with norse symbols, but I had an obsession with mythology when I was in elementary school. When I saw his cutie mark, it greatly upset me. I had to look up its meaning again because it's been a long time since I learned norse mythology, but the 3 triangles symbol: Valknut, means slain warrior. Each corner of the triangles also represents the 9 worlds of the norse universe, and the symbol also represents the cycle of life through pregnancy and motherhood.

SO, I changed it to Gungnir, otherwise known as Odin's magical spear. I thought for a story like Rockhoof's, the magic that gave him his strength could easily be seen as Odin (or a pony version of Odin) giving him that strength, and the power to save his village. I also changed the spears to be his shovel for obvious reasons.

For him, I wanted to base him off a fjord horse. They're such a gorgeous breed and I had a lot of fun drawing the pattern in his mane.

I would also like to note that I almost lost the progress to him because my drawing app decided to crash halfway through the coloring process 🙃 I almost lost the entire file which contained the Pillars + Stygian.
