First G3s for me but not too bad...

[Maplemeadow]

So @Skybreeze Started this little niggle in my thoughts about a Starlite and THEN I saw this mash-up of She-ra and Rainbow Brite on a tshirt and went "yup...it's gotta be done"
I've never done G3 before but I've gotten into frankenpony head swaps to get what I want out of my baits. Last question is...do I go full retro and paint Swifty's wings the right colors or do I leave it as is, for more of that retro "crystal" vibe?

Very nice for a first try. Cool idea changing pony heads to get an alicorn.

I think these are fantastic, especially considering they're your first shot! Starlite's star is very even, and their hair looks really nice and thick. Great job.

Why not both? (aside from it being probably a huge pain in the ***...) Strip, paint, reapply glitter. That said, the magenta isn't out of place for Swiftwind, so you could also easily leave it.

True...his wings stay more pink-ish in the reboot. I like the blue/red/orange version of the original but the magenta ombre of the bait pony is soooo pretty! I'll have to think on it some more

How about half-way compromise? I didn't take the original paint off, kept it under the blue and golden yellow. Still got the glitter topper and then this beauty is DONE!
