I think them being adults with actual careers could have been a more interesting and unique take. high school based stories are so overused at this point. I’m sure it appealed more to us when we were kids but now I really think it could’ve been cooler to see them as adults.
they could've at least put the characters in college where they were all studying for the careers they have in the pony world but for some reason they decided to make them be like 16-17
the blue lipstick was a really good way to offset that “conventional” impression imo!! i saw someone working in media in the bbc wear this vivid cerulean blue lipstick - it was really attention grabbing (so Rarity) and I think that MADE LavenderTowne’s design!! so as much as she likes making personalised garments suited for each of her clients, she too has her own way of showing who she is!! you’re so right about her not wanting to follow trends, especially with that episode where her twilight sparkle dress became trendy and she hated making it over and over again
I dont think models particularly follow trends, in my opinion rarity would be trendy, not because she follows them but because she iss the trend, she makes the trend and wears it but she would also not be scared to step away from it and do her own thing even if it doesnt become a trend, like i mean vivienne westwood wore her own dresses too, so i think rarity should too, she loves beauty so she would obviously like making herself look beautiful too and when u sew clothes u constantly have to try them on to make sure they fit, so being ur own model is also a practicality (okey srry im ranting bro)
You have to remember that Rarity in canonically beautiful and she takes great care of herself and wants everyone to see how beautiful she is, other than that she uses her pretty privilege in most episodes. I think it suits her perfectly to use a model's body for her since it was a standard of beauty among ponies.
my only suggestion is to give Rarity some more jewelry. she just seems like a pretty big jewelry person considering she’s such a fashionista. but I really love the makeup you gave her and applejacks’s apple pupils are so cute 😭💕 AND ALSO do you think you could redesign the dazzlings? they would look so cool in your style
@@AJTONYX I like that she made rarity darker. I never see people do that so I think it looks cool. Same with RD. And after all this is *her* perspective on the characters so it makes sense for it to be different.
Yeah Rarity’s cutie mark is also based in her sense for finding gemstones so having gems in her jewelry would be cool (also isn’t she a miner? She’s pulled multiple large boulders by herself, give her a little muscle)
As an autistic girl, I related to Rarity a lot. Not because of the whole posh thing, but because she's usually just trying to help people but accidentally comes off as aggressive or condescending. She's so clearly passionate about her fashion design work and she wants to share it with everyone. When she tries to teach history to Rainbow, she uses fashion as a visual aid. Whenever a big event comes up, she voluntarily makes unique clothing for all her friends because she wants them to look their best. Again, not out of ego but genuine care. And I had this issue as a kid where I'd want to help people and be friends with them and I'd accidentally come off as mean or egotistical. So many people misunderstand fashion as something superficial but in the way Rarity utilises it, both the actual designs in comparison to actual conventional clothing we see (it often looks like met gala or fashion show exclusive clothing), and how she feels about it, it's much more of an art thing than superficial.
I completely agree with all your points! And I feel like that last statement (about Rarity appreciating fashion as an art) can really be seen in the episode "Canterlot Boutique" where Rarity is being asked to make loads of copies of one dress (I remember the dress being called "the princess dress" a lot in that episode) and being unhappy with it - at least, from what I can remember. Also, I love seeing the positivity towards Rarity!
I swear to god, mlp the show i hc almost every character as either queer or neurodivergent. Like genuinely. The main cast i feel like I can easily ship em all together (exept pinkie and apple jack because well.. they might be related and act like they are but idk. They still got chemistry). I think I see all the main cast exept for apple jack and rainbow dash (thought rd as big adhd vibes) as autistic. And even outside of the main 6. There is pinkie pies siblings (especially maude) who have autism energy aswell and big Mac as trans vibes. I love this show so much ahhhh. Also rarity needs more love fr, I would love to be her friend. Teach me your ways fashion princess
I! Felt! This! So! Much! Before I was in school, so the awkward period between Pre-K and Kindergarten, I went to a kids daycare "club" during the day so my parents could go to work, and there was a girl who always brought her stuffed cat and she'd pretend to be the cat's mom. I was thrilled to be able to play pretend as a cat cause they're my favorite animal. And yes, my favorite animal as in I was very autistically attached to cats, lol. We were playing as cats, and she went to the little fake kitchen and started to wash her "kitten" in the sink. When I asked what she was doing she said she was bathing the kitten. I love everything about cats so I tell her "cats bathe themselves and their kittens with their tongue!" but she glared at me and said "No they don't. That's gross." and this, to me, as an undiagnosed autistic girl, was OUTRAGEOUS misinformation that I had to correct immediately. Unfortunately she thought I was bullying her the more I insisted that in reality, cats use their tongues to clean, because they have paws, and wouldn't be able to control a tap. So I ended up being put in time out while she bathed her kitten by herself the rest of the day. Big loss for little me that day loll
LITERALLYYY ig she was too complex for kids growing up to understand 😓 now growing up doing art i can relate to her sm. ig people liked the hyper ones like rainbow and pinkie more so rarity, applejack and even twilight got kinda sidelined. fluttershy was super popular tho ig cos shes really relatable to a lot of people
Fr she was always my fav of the new gen~ even watching the old show, rainbow dash was one of my favorite characters bc she basically had Rarity's personality.
unfamilar deserves the reward, and i mean this seriously. I read volume 1/2 when they came out and i finished them in one sitting. I was so hooked and the story made me insane. I loved it, loved the art, the story. EVERYTHING! i’m not much of a comic person, but unfamiliar was a book that i LOOOVED.
HARD agree on this one - Unfamiliar is genuinely one of my favourite stories I've ever read, and honestly such a big inspiration to me as an artist. I'm so so hyped that it's been nominated - can't think of a comic that deserves it more.
"She has some epic millenial swag" was not what i ever expected to hear in this video, but i love how it informed the design. Reminds me of how i used to dress as a kid. My mom knit rainbow socks for me and i still have em
I don't know if you take video suggestions, but I think it would be really cool to see a series where you personify/monster-ify elements on the periodic table. I had to do a similar project for my Chemistry class and I think I made a pretty cool design for Radon based on its characteristics! I would love to see your take on that idea and I think it would give you a lot of content if you're looking for ideas.
I think Pinkie's hairstyle suits her! I looove how her one bright blue eye pops out amongst those crazy curls of hot pink - it kind of hints that she just might be capable of WAY more than what her positive and wholesome nature leads you to believe. She looks just a smidge bit unhinged and insane, and I love it so much!
I absolutely love the re-designs, but I have teeny tiny complaint on AJ's, which is you made her human design's boots flats. the heels on cowboy boots are pretty important for horse riding, even mens boots have them!
The only thing I would change is making applejack a bit more broad shouldered, she works on a farm, likely doing heavy lifting, it would make sense for her to have beefier arms
I've always preferred art of Pinkie as a bigger/curvy girl. Even in my own art of her in a human form I always drew her like that. It was actually one of the ways I got comfortable with drawing more body types
I love human Pinkie! She looks like she'd ambush you in an arcade, admit to stalking you, and then pull you over to your favorite game and show you how to win(with maybe some rule bending), just like canon!
the equestria girls look like they’re cosplaying the mane 6 with wigs and colour schemes but it was a low budget cosplay so they grabbed whatever they could find from a goodwill the night before the con
Unfamiliar actually blew me away. The art was so gorgeous, the story was so interesting, and as someone who used to despise comic books: I seriously could not put it down. I hope it wins many more!!!
I love the height difference between all of them. It definitely makes Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack's rivalry wayy funnier imagining Dash is getting all snarky with her and AJ is literally towering over her. Also, please do the princesses and Spike next! Celestia and Luna were so wronged by Equastria Girls..
pinkie’s little scemo bang is so cute 😭🫶 it also kinda reminds me of her pinkie sense …. she wouldn’t really need to worry about depth perception/bumping into stuff bc she could just pinkie sense it !!
i think I liked the way they all had skin tones that were the same or pretty close to their skin tone as ponies, like maybe not fully blue or purple cause that would make no sense for the real world but like an undertone that’s more noticeable I think it would make them look a lot more diverse.
For Rarity: I like the look, but she's a high schooler---and since Canterlot High is likely in a temperate area, they'd probably have the air conditioning on. Rarity would 100% wear cold-shoulder puffy sleeves and flared pants/shorts and heels---but I could also totally see her designing platform sneakers that go with every single outfit.
this is the outfit she puts on to take photos in but when she shows up at the function she’s gained tights and ten extra layers (she seems like someone who gets cold easy)
She’s a high schooler in Equestria Girls but she’s a full adult in Equestria. Like she lives on her own, has a full time career that she’s had for years. All the girls (except twilight who seems to be in college/grad school) have jobs and read as adults, making them high schoolers in Equestria Girls was weird
I love like everything about these characters except the skin tones I have different head cannons for, twilight and pinkie in my head are darker, flutter shy is in the middle, rarity and apple jack are paler, and rainbow dash is a bit paler. I love seeing how different poeple can imagine these characters!!
Seeing them all in the lineup makes them just so much more believable as friends and characters in general. You hit all of the key components in all of their designs/characters perfectly
Hey I don't mean to be annoying, but I'm still hyped for the tank character drawing. Also my brother (the autistic one) graduated today! His quote was something along the lines of "down a bottle of sweet baby rays and compress a 10,000kilogram block of uranium-235 in your bare hands." He also hit the griddy dance while moving along the stage after grabbing his diploma. He is the first one of my siblings to properly graduate high school.
I loved all except Rarity's redesign: It's not that I don't like it, I just can't picture Rarity wearing something that simple. I remember watching all those times when she'd design and create complex-looking but also beautiful dresses (not to mention that time when she was fussing over how simple Twilight's dress was). If it wasn't for the hair, I probably wouldn't know that that was supposed to be Rarity. Other than that, Love the redesigns!
I agree. It’s definitely a beautiful character design, but it’s just not Rarity to me. She looks too much like a model, when that’s never been who she is, shes a fashion designer. I feel like she’d definitely have a lot of layering and accessories on, not just a simple short dress. Also (minor complaint about her design), aside from Pinky Pie, Rarity is arguably the friendliest character and I don’t think that particularly comes across in her redesign.
11:47 omg same I personally see pinkie pie as a curvy thick type, not super Duper skinny. it matches her personality more if she was more soft and around like you said!!
heya, i love your art, but as a bigger person i have a little bit of feedback to give. whenever you draw chunkier characters, you have a tendency to keep their arms paper-thin... and that's not really how those arms work on real chunky people (all the time, at least). i know you make things cartoonish a lot for your own sake, but having those thinner arms is one of those 'ideals' to make chunky people look more appealing or charming (by thus reducing their fatness to be in 'acceptable' areas of the body, like the large thighs you often draw). i think it'd help with the body variety that you draw to make larger arms (and also not send the wrong message) this is especially something i'd like to point out bc despite you saying that pinkie's "ultra-skinny arms and legs feel wrong to me", you still kept her arms pretty skinny i do generally like what you did for the redesigns otherwise, that's my only nitpick
The boots on the hind feet just blasted me with nostalgia of playing with MLPs as a kid. The old ones would have shoes on all four hooves, but the newer ones, which had the FiM style before that show even came out, would only be on the back. Your Pinkie Pie design is making me crave cupcakes.
I looove the designs. The only thing I don't like is the shade od skin color of some of them. Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Twilight and Rainbow Dash checks out but Rarity is such a pale poney, the very orangey skin tone you gave her doesn't help recognizing her, I would have made her paler and pinker. Pinkie Pie I feel like she's head cannoned as black or mixed a lot because of her hair texture and I think she'd look better with darker skin. But that's just my opinion, keep up the good work !!
I think Applejack was actually the least apreciated one, at least in the brony fandom it was a regular joke that Apple was a background character, since there were so little episodes that focused on her or her character development. Rarity has always been my favorite 💜
the designs of the equestria girls SCREAMS 2010s, it's so obvious that the movies were made in the 2010s. They really put a formal casual outfit on rarity with the vhunky necklace lmaoo
Thank you for sharing these redesigns with us, they're truly spectacular! If I were to critique/suggest anything, though, I feel like Rarity should have more jewelry on her, especially diamonds, and that her hair needs to be more voluminous (maybe tie the back up in a high ponytail?). And maybe it'd be too much, but a cropped, fluffy white coat would look cute on her! Pinkie Pie's arms, mainly her upper arms, seem a bit thin for her otherwise curvy physique, and her outfit is cute, but some glittery/sequined shoes (and top, mainly on her balloons), a more tulle tutu-like skirt, and Y2K-style jewelry (beaded friendship bracelets, charms, etc.) would look great on her, and I think that it'd enhance her party theming! And Applejack, I feel, could use some little scars on her legs, maybe even her hands, given how exposed they are, along with some work gloves!
INSANE! I LOVE THESE DESIGNS SO MUCH!!!!! (Although I will never un-see Apple Jacks unshaded hand lol) Rarity is my absolute favorite design from you! The simplistic elegance is so lovely and I’ve always felt rarity’s cannon design gave more rich aunt than posh seamstress. Keep it up and a congrats!!!
I love them!!! I think flutter shy is my favorite, because your art did really well on showing her more reserved side, toning down some of the colors was a great choice for her! :)
BABE WAKE UP LAVENDERTOWNE JUST POSTED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯 (Also congrats on the nomination!! That is so cool and unfamiliar is a really good book so you totally deserve it! :D)
5:54 as someone from the midwest, farmers like her definitely wear cowboy boots, it's not limited to actual cowboys. A lot of the farmers commit to the bit and wear jeans, cowboy boots, and maybe even a cowboy hat 24/7
They all ended up looking great but I have to say, your version of Applejack goes really, really hard. Like that's so stylish and more in the spirit of the og pony version than the Equestria Girls one.
!!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR REWARD!!!!!! also i love love your rarity design!!!!! i always imagined her as asian when i was younger so it made me super happy with you depicted her as indian!!!!! and i love the tan for applejack, it makes so much sense considering a big part of her character is that she's outside a bunch :)) and pinkie pie is so cute too!!!! loved this video sm!!
I honestly agree with you abt pinkies human form, her body shape language never really felt like it clicked with her pony- or even hair shape. the stick-like, straight lines sort of felt like it took away from her bouncy and sort of-... *round*? vibe? Idk-
I LOVE THIS!!!! You're SUCH a good designer! The image of them all together is so cohesive even though they aren't interacting with each other or the same view. You couldn't get this even in the show!!! I love the different bodies that match what their lifestyles would be. Ahhh so cool!!
I always loved Rarity, even when I was little. I remember trying to convince my mom that she was a good character… I remember like showing my mom clips from all of the episodes, especially the one when Sweetybell made the gem heart. I was telling my mom that, yes she has some problems, but she’s growing 🥺 she’s good 😭
i definitely thought Rarity was kind of uppity when i first watched the show, but she grew on me! especially since her element of harmony is generosity, you really get to see her shine in that!
I love the lineup if only because of the insane parallels. I love that both flutter shy and pinkie pie have different eyes covered by their hair, hinting at them having the same voice actor. Similar thing with applejack and rainbow dash both winking with different eyes .
sorry if this seems really random but it was a little amusing seeing you switch applejack’s boots from the front hooves to the back hooves!! reminded me of that question of how horses would wear jeans and it made me chuckle a bit. i am so DIGGING all of these designs btw!!
Personally, I would've made Rarity's skin pale because it's closer to her pony design, but I really like how they turned out! They are so much more expressive than the OG human and pony designs and reflect their personalities. My favorite was human Pinkie Pie because I think it's perfect for her!
Yeah same, I think she made her darker though because of her dress but I was a bit surprised to see her colour her tanner bc I always envisioned rarity out of any of the girlies from the group to be super pale 😅 still super cute design tho!
💗💗💗💗💗💗I'm so glad you got nominated!!! I've been watching you since sixth grade, and I'm about to end my freshman year of college. You were the reason I got into digital art, and now I'm doing graphic design as a minor! You absolutely deserve it, and I'm so glad to see you get the recognition you should.
I think the thing about equestria girls is that they are teenagers in that world but in the pony world they are more like adults so that probably contributed to the design choice.
I always adored rarity, her selfless devotion to her friends. her consideration for their budgets when making them things. he absolute ambition to be seen.
Congrats on the nomination! I love that you made them diverse in skin tone and body type. The only thing I can think of is maybe incorporating black hairstyles into the designs of the ones you made black! Otherwise these are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the video! Do you think you'll do one about monsters? Like Yokai and cryptids!
i love that i can see exactly how you set up your process and gallery at 2:03 XD its like a little hint of the past and for whats to come (edit: holy SHIT AJ is pretty)
Fluttershy, AJ and Pinkie are my favorite humanizations! They really feels like themselves, and this is very cool. I'm not a huge fan of your other ponies humanizations, but maybe someone loves them too
"Shes giving ice skater Ngl" OH MY GAWD IM LITERARY DIEING!! (but in all seriousness you're my hero! You inspire me so so much!! Please notice me senpi) Congrats on the nomination!! The second comic especially was SO FRICKIN BEAUTIFUL!!!
I love your designs and all the details you added to show their personality! I especially like what you did with Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Gotta be honest, though. Rariry doesn't feel like Rarity to me. I think she's more of a designer type rather than model. I still like that you gave her the tall model body, but style-wise she feels too simple for such a creative character. I think she'd show her creativity and love for fashion through her clothing, instead of wearing a simple, minimalist dress.
I love Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Our redesigns are kinda similar. My only critique of your redesigns is that they look very unanimous in the end. Like in the show their diversity and differences coming together was reflected in the kind of rainbow their colors formed. Here there’s an overwhelming brown that overwhelms those colors.
I love these designs but I feel like as someone who grew up watching mlp Rarity should have a more complicated outfit because that’s what you see her making in the show and her hair should be bigger and wavier. Just my opinion
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your renditions of these characters and the variety you gave the human designs are divine! Given that they were originally supposed to be an unusual grouping, making their differences stand out whilst being a reason for their unity is definitely seen in your vision here. Ahh i love this!!
Congratulations on getting nominated! That's really cool - and, I've been hearing about lots of negative stuff relating to comics/webcomics, so it's great that something positive is happening (and to a TH-camr that I watch, too)!
Oh my goodness, congratulations on the award!! I just recently read your second book (but I had read the other one a while back) and I love them both so much!! The characters are so fun and the conflicts they have work so well. I couldn’t put your book down once I started reading haha. Also the redesigns turned out great!
I’m so happy that Unfamiliar got nominated! It really deserves an award. I have both of the printed books and they’re so good! I’ve read them both probably about 3 times now bc the storyline is so unique and cool. Thank you so much for making such an amazing series!
I love the designs but rarity’s kinda doesn’t make sense to me. You kinda made her outfit and stuff more minamal and a big arrogant and rarity loves over the top kind of more of the fashion designer than the model.
One thing that adds to the Equestria girls' versions feeling off is them being high-schoolers, while the ponies are grown women with careers.
YOU'RE SO RIGHT!
Like?? They have Jobs and paychecks and bills to pay! These are not teenager things lmao
I think them being adults with actual careers could have been a more interesting and unique take. high school based stories are so overused at this point. I’m sure it appealed more to us when we were kids but now I really think it could’ve been cooler to see them as adults.
I agree, also aren't the Cutie Mark Crusaders also high schoolars in Equestria Girls when they're in elementary/preschool as ponies?
they could've at least put the characters in college where they were all studying for the careers they have in the pony world but for some reason they decided to make them be like 16-17
@@MintEclovR Ohh yeah! I forgot those three were in Equestria Girls. They did not need to do that; they're supposed to be little children!

I would absolutely LOVE more of these!! Celestia, Luna, and Spike would be very fun to see redrawn in your style :)
They did Spike dirty, they turned him into a dog. Lavendertowne is the only one who can save him now
I absolutely love the re-designs, but I have teeny tiny complaint on AJ's, which is you made her human design's boots flats. the heels on cowboy boots are pretty important for horse riding, even mens boots have them!
The only thing I would change is making applejack a bit more broad shouldered, she works on a farm, likely doing heavy lifting, it would make sense for her to have beefier arms
I've always preferred art of Pinkie as a bigger/curvy girl. Even in my own art of her in a human form I always drew her like that. It was actually one of the ways I got comfortable with drawing more body types
She is a girl who bakes and eats a lot of sugar. She should be a softer body. (As someone who also bakes and eats a lot of sugar 😂💕)
I LEFT MY FANFICTION FOR THIS
#relatable
GOOD JOB 👏👏
Surprisingly same
SO REAL! I LEFT MY TREE BROS FAN FIC TOO!
Wait same actually
you're so right about rarity im so glad people are appreciating characters that serve now
I love human Pinkie! She looks like she'd ambush you in an arcade, admit to stalking you, and then pull you over to your favorite game and show you how to win(with maybe some rule bending), just like canon!
the equestria girls look like they’re cosplaying the mane 6 with wigs and colour schemes but it was a low budget cosplay so they grabbed whatever they could find from a goodwill the night before the con
LAVENDERTOWNE!!!!! I'm so glad you got nominated!
Unfamiliar actually blew me away. The art was so gorgeous, the story was so interesting, and as someone who used to despise comic books: I seriously could not put it down. I hope it wins many more!!!
"YES LAVENDERTOWNE!!" We all cheer in unison.
I love the height difference between all of them. It definitely makes Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack's rivalry wayy funnier imagining Dash is getting all snarky with her and AJ is literally towering over her.
Also, please do the princesses and Spike next! Celestia and Luna were so wronged by Equastria Girls..
Yesss id be so down for celestia, luna, and spike
THEY'VE BEEN YASSIFIED!!! ALSO CONGRATS ON THE NOMINATION. I'VE BEEN WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL FOR YEARS NOW AND JUST LOVE ALL THESE DESIGNS
pinkie’s little scemo bang is so cute 😭🫶 it also kinda reminds me of her pinkie sense …. she wouldn’t really need to worry about depth perception/bumping into stuff bc she could just pinkie sense it !!
i think I liked the way they all had skin tones that were the same or pretty close to their skin tone as ponies, like maybe not fully blue or purple cause that would make no sense for the real world but like an undertone that’s more noticeable I think it would make them look a lot more diverse.
For Rarity: I like the look, but she's a high schooler---and since Canterlot High is likely in a temperate area, they'd probably have the air conditioning on. Rarity would 100% wear cold-shoulder puffy sleeves and flared pants/shorts and heels---but I could also totally see her designing platform sneakers that go with every single outfit.
this is the outfit she puts on to take photos in but when she shows up at the function she’s gained tights and ten extra layers (she seems like someone who gets cold easy)
Oo I agree
She’s a high schooler in Equestria Girls but she’s a full adult in Equestria. Like she lives on her own, has a full time career that she’s had for years. All the girls (except twilight who seems to be in college/grad school) have jobs and read as adults, making them high schoolers in Equestria Girls was weird
@@sophie3869 Ikrrr like make them college kids at least, internships make more sense for there
OH MY GOSH, CONGRATULATIONS ON THE EISNER AWARD NOMINATION, YOU DESERVE IT SO MUCH AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU 💝💝💝
I love like everything about these characters except the skin tones I have different head cannons for, twilight and pinkie in my head are darker, flutter shy is in the middle, rarity and apple jack are paler, and rainbow dash is a bit paler. I love seeing how different poeple can imagine these characters!!
I always imagined aj lightly tan with freckles and a permanent sunburn lol
Seeing them all in the lineup makes them just so much more believable as friends and characters in general. You hit all of the key components in all of their designs/characters perfectly
Hey I don't mean to be annoying, but I'm still hyped for the tank character drawing.
Also my brother (the autistic one) graduated today! His quote was something along the lines of "down a bottle of sweet baby rays and compress a 10,000kilogram block of uranium-235 in your bare hands."
He also hit the griddy dance while moving along the stage after grabbing his diploma. He is the first one of my siblings to properly graduate high school.
@@toaster-rp4ft I am a seer. Your wish will come to pass
@@toaster-rp4ft this is so wholesome lol
@@noggin4848 guess what
@@ThatHandsomeWeirdo ik he got it lol I came here from the comment
I loved all except Rarity's redesign: It's not that I don't like it, I just can't picture Rarity wearing something that simple. I remember watching all those times when she'd design and create complex-looking but also beautiful dresses (not to mention that time when she was fussing over how simple Twilight's dress was). If it wasn't for the hair, I probably wouldn't know that that was supposed to be Rarity. Other than that, Love the redesigns!
I agree. It’s definitely a beautiful character design, but it’s just not Rarity to me. She looks too much like a model, when that’s never been who she is, shes a fashion designer. I feel like she’d definitely have a lot of layering and accessories on, not just a simple short dress.
Also (minor complaint about her design), aside from Pinky Pie, Rarity is arguably the friendliest character and I don’t think that particularly comes across in her redesign.
@@ionabab7274 100% 👍
11:47 omg same I personally see pinkie pie as a curvy thick type, not super Duper skinny. it matches her personality more if she was more soft and around like you said!!
0:50 "girlbossification" and "respected for her slay" KILLED ME😂
heya, i love your art, but as a bigger person i have a little bit of feedback to give. whenever you draw chunkier characters, you have a tendency to keep their arms paper-thin... and that's not really how those arms work on real chunky people (all the time, at least). i know you make things cartoonish a lot for your own sake, but having those thinner arms is one of those 'ideals' to make chunky people look more appealing or charming (by thus reducing their fatness to be in 'acceptable' areas of the body, like the large thighs you often draw). i think it'd help with the body variety that you draw to make larger arms (and also not send the wrong message)
this is especially something i'd like to point out bc despite you saying that pinkie's "ultra-skinny arms and legs feel wrong to me", you still kept her arms pretty skinny
i do generally like what you did for the redesigns otherwise, that's my only nitpick
The boots on the hind feet just blasted me with nostalgia of playing with MLPs as a kid. The old ones would have shoes on all four hooves, but the newer ones, which had the FiM style before that show even came out, would only be on the back.
Your Pinkie Pie design is making me crave cupcakes.
I looove the designs. The only thing I don't like is the shade od skin color of some of them. Fluttershy, Apple Jack, Twilight and Rainbow Dash checks out but Rarity is such a pale poney, the very orangey skin tone you gave her doesn't help recognizing her, I would have made her paler and pinker. Pinkie Pie I feel like she's head cannoned as black or mixed a lot because of her hair texture and I think she'd look better with darker skin. But that's just my opinion, keep up the good work !!
I think Applejack was actually the least apreciated one, at least in the brony fandom it was a regular joke that Apple was a background character, since there were so little episodes that focused on her or her character development. Rarity has always been my favorite 💜
Pinkie Pie is giving Crybaby-era Melanie Martinez, which I think is both extremely fitting for her personality and the time period of the show
Oh yeah. She's 100% a Melanie Martinez fan.
the designs of the equestria girls SCREAMS 2010s, it's so obvious that the movies were made in the 2010s. They really put a formal casual outfit on rarity with the vhunky necklace lmaoo
I absolutely ADORE pinky pie's design.
Also, you should do Disney animal sidekicks as humans, I feel like you would be really good at that!
Omg, that's such a good ideaaa
@@isacocca3187 Thank you! :)
Nominated for an Eisner Award! That's awesome! Nice work and keep it up!
Thank you for sharing these redesigns with us, they're truly spectacular! If I were to critique/suggest anything, though, I feel like Rarity should have more jewelry on her, especially diamonds, and that her hair needs to be more voluminous (maybe tie the back up in a high ponytail?). And maybe it'd be too much, but a cropped, fluffy white coat would look cute on her! Pinkie Pie's arms, mainly her upper arms, seem a bit thin for her otherwise curvy physique, and her outfit is cute, but some glittery/sequined shoes (and top, mainly on her balloons), a more tulle tutu-like skirt, and Y2K-style jewelry (beaded friendship bracelets, charms, etc.) would look great on her, and I think that it'd enhance her party theming! And Applejack, I feel, could use some little scars on her legs, maybe even her hands, given how exposed they are, along with some work gloves!
raritys iconic big curls is what makes her so recognisable, and ur redesign has lots of little curls which is probably why she looks off
I like the fact u made some of them darker skinned I've always seen pinkie pie as a darker skinned character (like how u colored her)
INSANE! I LOVE THESE DESIGNS SO MUCH!!!!! (Although I will never un-see Apple Jacks unshaded hand lol) Rarity is my absolute favorite design from you! The simplistic elegance is so lovely and I’ve always felt rarity’s cannon design gave more rich aunt than posh seamstress. Keep it up and a congrats!!!
aw frick I didn’t notice that lol
I love them!!! I think flutter shy is my favorite, because your art did really well on showing her more reserved side, toning down some of the colors was a great choice for her! :)
BABE WAKE UP LAVENDERTOWNE JUST POSTED 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
(Also congrats on the nomination!! That is so cool and unfamiliar is a really good book so you totally deserve it! :D)
5:54 as someone from the midwest, farmers like her definitely wear cowboy boots, it's not limited to actual cowboys. A lot of the farmers commit to the bit and wear jeans, cowboy boots, and maybe even a cowboy hat 24/7
I USED TO LOVE MLP! IM SO GLAD YOU MADE THIS (also congrats on getting nominated!)
They all ended up looking great but I have to say, your version of Applejack goes really, really hard. Like that's so stylish and more in the spirit of the og pony version than the Equestria Girls one.
!!!! CONGRATS ON YOUR REWARD!!!!!! also i love love your rarity design!!!!! i always imagined her as asian when i was younger so it made me super happy with you depicted her as indian!!!!! and i love the tan for applejack, it makes so much sense considering a big part of her character is that she's outside a bunch :)) and pinkie pie is so cute too!!!! loved this video sm!!
LETS GO PART TWO! also congrats for the nomination :))
CONGRATS ON THE EISNER NOM!
I was nominated yearrrs ago, getting the news was one of the best days of my life.
I honestly agree with you abt pinkies human form, her body shape language never really felt like it clicked with her pony- or even hair shape. the stick-like, straight lines sort of felt like it took away from her bouncy and sort of-... *round*? vibe? Idk-
perfect timing lavender i needed something to watch and congratulations on ur book
I LOVE THIS!!!! You're SUCH a good designer! The image of them all together is so cohesive even though they aren't interacting with each other or the same view. You couldn't get this even in the show!!! I love the different bodies that match what their lifestyles would be. Ahhh so cool!!
I always loved Rarity, even when I was little. I remember trying to convince my mom that she was a good character… I remember like showing my mom clips from all of the episodes, especially the one when Sweetybell made the gem heart. I was telling my mom that, yes she has some problems, but she’s growing 🥺 she’s good 😭
One of my favorite aspects I see in AJ redesigns is adding a bow, as that usually is a sign that the horse kicks, which she does for apple harvesting
i definitely thought Rarity was kind of uppity when i first watched the show, but she grew on me! especially since her element of harmony is generosity, you really get to see her shine in that!
GURL U DESERVE THAT EINSER AWARD! UR COMIC IS SO GOOD AND NOT ONLY IS IT GOOD TO READ BUT ITS GOOD TO LOOK AT!!! CONGRATS LAVENDER
I love the lineup if only because of the insane parallels. I love that both flutter shy and pinkie pie have different eyes covered by their hair, hinting at them having the same voice actor. Similar thing with applejack and rainbow dash both winking with different eyes .
sorry if this seems really random but it was a little amusing seeing you switch applejack’s boots from the front hooves to the back hooves!! reminded me of that question of how horses would wear jeans and it made me chuckle a bit. i am so DIGGING all of these designs btw!!
Personally, I would've made Rarity's skin pale because it's closer to her pony design, but I really like how they turned out! They are so much more expressive than the OG human and pony designs and reflect their personalities. My favorite was human Pinkie Pie because I think it's perfect for her!
Yeah same, I think she made her darker though because of her dress but I was a bit surprised to see her colour her tanner bc I always envisioned rarity out of any of the girlies from the group to be super pale 😅 still super cute design tho!
0:21 CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR AWARD GIRLIE!!!
💗💗💗💗💗💗I'm so glad you got nominated!!! I've been watching you since sixth grade, and I'm about to end my freshman year of college. You were the reason I got into digital art, and now I'm doing graphic design as a minor! You absolutely deserve it, and I'm so glad to see you get the recognition you should.
Congratulations on the Eisner award!!! 🎉
THE DESIGN ARE SO ADORABLE I LOVE THEM😭😭❤️❤️❤️ also congrats with your nomination on unformiliar!!
I think the thing about equestria girls is that they are teenagers in that world but in the pony world they are more like adults so that probably contributed to the design choice.
Oh my goodness, your designs here are ALL just so on-point! I love them!
"But for my version of her, I wanted her to look a little more muscular..."
WHOAAAA MAMA!
I always adored rarity, her selfless devotion to her friends. her consideration for their budgets when making them things. he absolute ambition to be seen.
you’ve outdone yourself again lavendertowne 💜💜
Congrats on the nomination! I love that you made them diverse in skin tone and body type. The only thing I can think of is maybe incorporating black hairstyles into the designs of the ones you made black! Otherwise these are absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for the video! Do you think you'll do one about monsters? Like Yokai and cryptids!
I love when people make applejack appleJACKED it's the best
I got your book a while ago, and I just wanted to say; I loved it! your videos are what is keeping my motivation up, so thank you!
I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED RARITY IS MY FAV AND IK SHE'S BE HERE!
I adore your artstyle, it's so unique and pretty!!
i love that i can see exactly how you set up your process and gallery at 2:03 XD its like a little hint of the past and for whats to come
(edit: holy SHIT AJ is pretty)
Fluttershy, AJ and Pinkie are my favorite humanizations! They really feels like themselves, and this is very cool. I'm not a huge fan of your other ponies humanizations, but maybe someone loves them too
"Shes giving ice skater Ngl" OH MY GAWD IM LITERARY DIEING!!
(but in all seriousness you're my hero! You inspire me so so much!! Please notice me senpi)
Congrats on the nomination!! The second comic especially was SO FRICKIN BEAUTIFUL!!!
I love your designs and all the details you added to show their personality! I especially like what you did with Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.
Gotta be honest, though. Rariry doesn't feel like Rarity to me. I think she's more of a designer type rather than model. I still like that you gave her the tall model body, but style-wise she feels too simple for such a creative character. I think she'd show her creativity and love for fashion through her clothing, instead of wearing a simple, minimalist dress.
I'M GONNA SCREAM FROM DELIGHT OH MY GOD!!! GOOD JOB YOU DESERVE THE NOMINATION!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! >:D
I love Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. Our redesigns are kinda similar. My only critique of your redesigns is that they look very unanimous in the end. Like in the show their diversity and differences coming together was reflected in the kind of rainbow their colors formed. Here there’s an overwhelming brown that overwhelms those colors.
I love these designs but I feel like as someone who grew up watching mlp Rarity should have a more complicated outfit because that’s what you see her making in the show and her hair should be bigger and wavier. Just my opinion
THEY ALL LOOK SO CUTE
your style when drawing both the ponei and the human version is gold
Congrats on the Eisner nomination Haley!!! Insane accomplishment 😍
Pretty sure most people agree chubby pinkie is the best pinkie, love the art!
Rarity! I’m so excited
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your renditions of these characters and the variety you gave the human designs are divine! Given that they were originally supposed to be an unusual grouping, making their differences stand out whilst being a reason for their unity is definitely seen in your vision here. Ahh i love this!!
I think this makes me want to re enter the mlp fandom!
Congratulations on getting nominated! That's really cool - and, I've been hearing about lots of negative stuff relating to comics/webcomics, so it's great that something positive is happening (and to a TH-camr that I watch, too)!
Oh my god this is the redesign that feels the most like pinkie pie I've ever seen 😊
Oh my goodness, congratulations on the award!! I just recently read your second book (but I had read the other one a while back) and I love them both so much!! The characters are so fun and the conflicts they have work so well. I couldn’t put your book down once I started reading haha. Also the redesigns turned out great!
I love how the fandom that redesigns mlp as humans have all collectively agreed that Pinky Pie is a chubby girl. I love it
I’m so happy that Unfamiliar got nominated! It really deserves an award. I have both of the printed books and they’re so good! I’ve read them both probably about 3 times now bc the storyline is so unique and cool. Thank you so much for making such an amazing series!
I love the designs but rarity’s kinda doesn’t make sense to me. You kinda made her outfit and stuff more minamal and a big arrogant and rarity loves over the top kind of more of the fashion designer than the model.
HALEY OMG I SWEAR YOU DESERVE THAT AWARD SO MUCH I LOVE UNFAMILIARRR
That rarity design was just no. Without a pony by her side you would not assume thats even mlp related
