So at this point I've changed them so much, they might as well have new names. They're more ocs based on canon characters, very much like TRC.
And tbh I never liked their canon names anyway. Like they usually don't say anything about the character, or are way too close to common human names for comfort.
So new names to go with new designs. Except for like Gizmo and Buttons they've hardly changed since my second pass at them.
Misty is my fave out of the group but I’m not very fond of her design so I used her mane design from Secrets of Starlight because I think it looks much better on her than her other style does.
I also headcanon Zipp to be gender-fluid and use she/he/they depending on how they’re feeling at the moment.
Sunny got stars on her coat where her horn and wings appears in her alicorn form✨
And lemme fucking tell you, gamers, Hitch and Misty/Pekeo were so DIFFICULT to redesign like damn.
Every time I thought I had something, I realised I hated it five minutes later. If not for some help from @tvaccaro I'd still be slamming my face against my keyboard
Up next is Hitch! The way I imagined him is he's a little older more gritty sheriff who is a lot more grounded in his work as a protector of the people. He's still always on Sunny for her crazy ideas that usually end in disaster. He's very hesitant to change out of fear of others getting hurt out of his control.
Design notes:
He has a chunk of his ear missing because a suspect bit his ear in an arrest once
He keeps his tail short and in a bun for his protection so he's not as easy to grab
I've also been doing a lot of work for IDW MLP lately! Gonna slowly post some MLP stuff here over the next few days, starting with this connecting covers I did for the Camp Bighoof miniseries :)
These are all the B variants of issues 1-5, and I have some full sets of the printed comics that I'll have to put up on my shop next time I update it all.
Currently working on the Kenbucky Roller Derby arc, so I'll share more of that content soon! 🎉
