I'm Redesigning G2 Ponies!

[Luminary]

@strawberrypony32 took the words right out of my mouth, she was first released with an ornate canopy bed with a garden under the headboard. Lightheart jumping on a bed the way kids turn beds into trampolines.

@AutumnRoan idea seems to fit your art style-a multicolored harlequin clown idea, but she is still a pony with flowing rainbow hair, the first G2 rainbow pony, actually. A mask that is half white, half rainbow. There was also a set where her and Sundance had their symbols surrounded by balloons and this really fit Light Heart, like if she flew with a balloon the way the care bears do and used her pony body to hold the string the way G4 Pinkie Pie could break the rules of gravity and the fourth wall. If she has wings, but is also flying by holding a balloon string then a joke would be intrinsic to the portrayal.

Lightheart also has pink hooves that match the pink part of her hair instead of hooves that match her body like the other ponies.

So I guess I'm thinking rainbows as trampolines, and harlequin masks that are half rainbow and half white, and a lot of movement, maybe she's upside down.

Absolutely stunning designs! Not only does your epic level of artistic skill really shine, but your true love for these lovely ladies just radiates from each lovingly rendered accessory, expression, and outfit. I'm beyond awed and in agreement with everyone else who has said they'd love to see more of your work ♡

Hi!! I've been working on a hypothetical G2 reboot lately, inspired by a lot of modern fashion dolls! I'd love to make my way through every G2 pony eventually, but for now I've drawn the first wave of Secret Surprise Friends!

Thank you so much for looking!

Aaaaah I love these, I saw them on tumblr! I've been wanting to draw some cute outfits for G2 ponies too, or maybe even try make some for my actual G2s

Hi all!! It's been a while but I finally finished the rest of the '97 girls, I was held back for a few weeks because I ended up getting sick with covid haha

Next up is Ivy, Sunsparkle (or Sundance if your prefer), and Light Heart! I thought I'd start going into detail on my thoughts/inspiration too in case anyone is interested.

For Ivy I just wanted to make her as elegant as possible, I found a dress with gorgeous flower accents along the bottom while I was finding inspiration for Sky Skimmer and had to use it for something! Her original release has a lot of jewellery and she also has the parlour set with a focus on hair which I wanted to include too. I was mostly inspired to give her ringlets because a lot of G1 artists draw the prettiest ringlets. If I could change one thing though I think I'd include more vines/grapes in her details.

Sunsparkle was hugely inspired by the art of her riding in a hot air balloon with the compass, map, etc. I wanted to include some more tomboyish girls in the lineup too so landed on the steampunk-esque look for her!

And finally Light Heart who gave me the most trouble! She doesn't really come with any accessories I can use and her bio simply describes her as a joker. I ended up going with a carnival/clown theme but I tried to be careful since there's Trixiebelle coming up in the future with a jester theme, and I don't want to repeat any details. I also wanted to thank everyone who helped me out with brainstorming ideas for her!

Onto the '98 ponies!

They turned out fantastic!

 

[strawberrypony32]

Theyre so beautiful! I looveee them!! I think light heart turned out great, she looks very light hearted and fun!

 

[AzaleaArt]

The steampunk inspired look is so fun! Really pretty designs

I am completely in love - do you sell prints or stickers or anything? I need these on my pony shelf somehow

Ahh thank you!! It's a bit difficult for me to run my Etsy atm as I'm working full time and my supplies like my cricut and envelopes are all back at my parents place, but the dream would be to sell a big poster of them all when they're done! I'd also like to draw some smaller sticker/charm designs one day.

(The totally delusional dream is to 3D model them and get them printed lol!)

Thank you! I'm not currently taking commissions as I don't have much free time but if things ever change I'll be sure to let you know!

My partner is actually a 3D sculptor and I do resin prints!

Also have you tried redbubble, you upload your work and set your profit margin and they do the rest, making and shipping your products without you having to do any more work

 

[Roccoco]

I usually do these one by one but this time I sketched everything out first so here's a little preview of the next batch!

 

[Lilykin]

AAAH! Love your sketches!

 

[Grace Ruby]

Soooooo pretty

 

[Roccoco]

I hope everyone is coping right now if you're also in the middle of the current heatwave! Here's two of the ponies I've finished so far - Cupcake and Sugar Belle!!

 

[Grace Ruby]

Okay sugar belle is my fave so far she is soooo pretty

 

[StormMaeker]

At first I thought Cupcake was Pinkie Pie somehow until I realised quickly that it’s Cupcake who is literally sitting not that far away from me. These are so pretty! I really like those patches as well!

Also, I’m holding on in this heat. It’s not normal, I hope it rains soon but not the stuffy kind of rain
