First one of my re-design for G5 of Izzy. I read a bit of their character and figured out they were a creative type, so I kind ran with that idea. No one asked for this, but I really wanted to draw something cute.
For the unicorns I wanted to make them the taller kind of ponies. And maybe make pegasus the smaller kind, while earth ponies can be in the middle. I’ll show a size scale for the next re-design I make. I think making unicorns more mythical looking really adds to their ‘unicorn-ness’. Haha. Enjoy!
MON PETIT PONEY
I absolutely adore gen 2 of mlp- i grew up with it! ^^ so i wanted to draw my redesigns of the main 4 but in g4's style<3

The My Little Pony Official YouTube channel has a new banner featuring G4 characters. This marks an end to almost three years of G5 characters being featured in this channel's banner.
The new banner image features Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Beside them is the 2022 My Little Pony brand logo.
The first appearance of G5 in the banner was on May 30, 2021, when an image with Hitch from My Little Pony: A New Generation replaced the Pony Life banner.
Several other banners with G5 characters were used afterwards. In April 2022, the banner promoting My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale was introduced; it continued to be used for just over two years.
My Little Pony: Make Your Mark character renders have never appeared in the YouTube channel banner, and potentially never will.
Except for a short period between April and October 2022, G4 content has been continuously re-released on the My Little Pony Official YouTube channel. Reuploads of G4 episodes continue to attract more viewership than uploads of G5 episodes; it makes sense that they would change the banner to emphasize G4, which remains more well-known.
One of my more recent drawings! I challenged myself to draw 1-2 favorite ponies from each generation and ended up with these gals. I kinda wanted to have Autumn Blaze join Luna in the G4 category but alas
I didn't actually make my pony armature to just try to imitate the og pony toys. I wanted to see if I could make models of *different* poses.
But, noteably, an armature like this doesn't make new stuff perfectly! with all poses I can make with it, I would need to edit the sculpt significantly- and I would want to, anyways, because adding asymmetry and some difference is what makes the poses fun.
Anyways, I went through some of the g4 ponies which have dynamic poses to test new poses
These poses aren't dissimilar to some of the g1 poses: Paradise pose, Truly pose, and Mimic Pose
The difficulty, I iimagine, is creating proper balance for poses. The rearing poses aren't really balanced at all, they come with stands. The only properly "flying" pose is Paradises' pose. Although the above Twilight pose is similar to Mimic, there actually isn't a unicorn pose with a turned head.
Another one that would be fully unbalanced as a doll, however, I really like the idea of a bucking pony toy.
I think a shy Fluttershy pose would be cute, kind of a pegasus variation on the Gusty unicorn pose. Or the petite pony "shy pose" which would be cute in a big pony variation.
I'd like to try a lying down pose, this is one attempt
although I think id prefer a lying down one more like the glory and glory baby pose:
