🦄 Mane 6 Redesign! 🦄

Aaaaaa my first redesign post!! I had so much making this and been looking forward to finally share it. (but my hand hurts right now from drawing lolol)

To those new to me: I do this thing where I redesign characters as a challenge (+ have fun being creative with design tweaks (✿◠‿◠)) , I don't dislike any of the OG designs, I just like to give myself something fun to do :'D

Keep reading below for design notes! :D

OK so starting off with species differences:

I make it a point to make each species unique from one another with different tail + ear shape for each kind of pony

in order to explain away how do ponies in this iteration get conveniently matching body markings, I imagine that fillies are born without markings but slowly get them after receiving their cutie mark. the markings slowly leaves changes on the coat/mane as they grow into adulthood :D

also gave all species hoof markings, the shape of the hoof corresponds with the pony's cutie mark

for unicorns– they also have horn markings that correspond with their cutie mark. OH and, horn magic color corresponds with the color of the pony's eyes

for pegasi– the tips of their wings would match with the color of their manes

not mentioned in the images attached but the eye light shape also corresponds with the ponies' cutie mark >_< (fillies just have regular circles until after they get their cutie marks-)

misc feature: ponies may or may not have leg tuffs, like with some ponies you'll see below, some may have fuller leg tuffs that goes all the way around.

Alright now that you know more about the species design notes, I'll get into each ponies' design choices

Pinkie Pie

Starting off with Pinkie, I made her coat fluffy, matching her mane, her mane was shorten a bit and also gave her a white streak in her bangs + added a hair accessory + confetti in her hair from throwing parties (my headcanon is that she doesn't bother to pick them out so she just leaves em there)

she has pebble shaped markings on her face and coat running down her back. In her pink form, those markings are commonly mistaken as large freckles

her desaturated form takes inspo from how she looks as a filly, also her mane shape may or may not have been inspired by the shape of pinata paper strips.

Among all the ponies, Pinkie is also the shortest. I try my best to give each pony a different height, hope that was noticeable haha

Applejack

Next up, Applejack, now for her design (+ most of the mane 6's designs) there isn't too much change. For her, I gave her coat more texture akin to actual patterns from real horses. Similar to pinkie, Applejack's back has pebble-shaped spots (feel free to believe that I intentionally added it there to link AJ + Pinkie as distant relatives haha)

In comparison to pinkie though, I used a lot of sharp lines while drawing AJ, also made her look more muscular / "box" shaped compared to the other ponies. (which fits too as I imagine her farm work made her pretty fit)

As mentioned, AJ's hoof tuffs go all around

Twilight Sparkle

For twilight, I tweaked her colors to be more Purple and included a bit of orange to create a small contrast as I noticed her OG palette was a lot of Purple. (cool colors) + I wanted her palette to resemble more of a twilight color (?)

I also noted that some other people felt that Twilight doesn't match the archetype she was meant to represent so I gave her glasses in an attempt to make her appear more "studious"

Her unicorn form is also shorter compared to her alicorn form. (gave her slightly shorter horn + legs)

Rarity

Okay Rarity's has to be my favourite redesign HAHA. I also have a feeling a lot of you will point out she resembles the last unicorn a lot 🥲 to that, i'm deeply sorryy

Anyway, for Rarity I changed her palette a lot more compared to the others because I wanted her palette to match her name sake 'Rarity', so what better way to set her apart as being a pony with a different mane/tail color!! + heterochromia which means her horn magic is 2 different colors. (that's my headcanon of what might constitute as 'rare' in pony genetics. ALSO off topic but is it just me or has there never been a pony in the show that actually has heterochromia? 🤔 tbh I can't remember)

I also gave her some gem accessories that she wears as a necklace, oh and a matching earring as well

Fluttershy

ah yes, my other favourite design. For Fluttershy, I softened her colors and also added some green

also, among rainbow and twilight, Fluttershy's wings are purposely designed to be fluffier. I imagine as opposed to rainbow who actively trains her wings for athletic flying > sharpens them to become aerodynamic, when fluttershy flies, she takes her time, so they aren't as worn down as RD's.

I imagine Fluttershy uses floral-scented shampoo that she handmakes with flowers from her own garden which attracts the butterflies that rest in her mane

I also purposely designed fluttershy's ears to be down on default, playing into her 'shyness'

Rainbow Dash

last but not least, rainbow underwent a few changes. Firstly you'll notice I shortened her hair + added white streak bangs & side tendrils that cup her face. (now that I'm looking at it, her hair resembles the pony life RD 😭)

Additionally, RD's wings are sharper, more chipped due to active use.

also among the rest of the ponies, Rainbow is also on the shorter side but she's also more lean/fit. I took into consideration her being an athlete (and a flyer at that) would influence her body shape, I feel that in order for her to fly fast, her body shape suited her nicely.

I also gave RD some googles as accessories.

Anyway, congrats on making it to the end! here's a height lineup ref for the mane 6!!

Thanks for reading all my design notes :'D I'll definitely be drawing more. (I definitely wanna draw secondary characters and also the mane 6's families soon)

Liarjack's paradox: Ask LJ "Are you goin to lie to me?"

"Yes" She's being honest (Not lying)

"No" Everything LJ saying is a lie so she's saying "Yes" (AKA: Not lying)

Discorded AU Voice claims

(Part 2: Dawning Power, Rainbow Ditch, Gloomie Pie)

I love questions HEHEHHE

[wetsocks33]

MY BOYYYYY

Currently pretty bored so since I have seen some people do it before, have my own take on Randy in cookie run kingdom-

An ambush cookie in middle position (totally didn’t make that similar to Ninja cookie lol-) I even did the soulstone thing.

Yeah it’s not that interesting but whatever. It’d probably make more sense to have his head be mostly circle like too with only the spike on top but I ended up not liking how it looked so-

The reason why he’s ‘special’ is cuz other crossover cookies like the one with Sonic Cookie (except the Disney cookies who are ‘guest’) were all ‘special’ too so I did the same with Randy Cookie here.

As for his ‘skill’. When you use it the first time, he turns into the normal ninja rage form with fire. The second time you use the skill, he turns into cold rage. First fire, then ice, fire, ice, fire, ice- you see my vision?

[wetsocks33]

So, like, what the "end point" of Discorded AU? Like, will Mane 6 became normal at the end? Or there's gonna be much darked end? What's Discord's plans, what is he doing while all this happening?

I’m planning on them getting healed, but Twilight will be the last one instead of the first. It’ll be a good ending, as i feel that’s way more interesting then a bad ending ngl- But things are way more strained between them and their siblings. Especially the CMC.

Discord actually didn’t know it would escalate like that lol- He stopped caring about them after he realized he had won. Honestly, i just thought he wanted them out of the way, and that’s it.

He does really like the new forms though lol-

Besides that his motivations are basically the same.

[wetsocks33]

”You do the dishes everyday?”

discord is horrified that ponies actually do repetitive daily tasks and don’t just dress up in maid costumes for funsies

Discorded AU Voice Claims

(Part 1: Liarjack, Greedity, Cruelshy)

I should probably post this huh?

[wetsocks33]

So if the CMC's sanity dropped, do they get discorded or not?

Good question, but no-

Other ponies/creatures (zebras, bunnies, bears) can get “discorded,” (see big mac and granny smith in the show) but the he Mane 6 are the only one to physically change in the au-

The CMC are not planned to be discorded- their sanity is extremely low because of the mental strain that their sisters put on them now. (also the fact that they are children going through that.) I guess the more mentally “abusive” the sister is, the less sanity the cmc has.

Thank you for the question! i hope this helps

More about them under the cut ❤️
