Description
WOOOOO IT’S FINALLY DONE! Man this has got to be the most ponies I’ve drawn in a picture, EVER! Boooiiiii this took me forever XD But I have to say I’m pretty proud of the result! It was a challenge, and as the meme goes, “Challenge Accepted.” Lol, it was good fun drawing the normal characters we know a little differentlySo, I’ve got QUITE a few notes regarding this so I’ll just do a kind of summary of each character ^^
(I also have fullbodies of each of them ((Except Twi and RD, they’re more like busts/ halfbodies)) in my sta.sh, so please click on their names so that you can see their full designs!)
Rainbow Dash :
So, this was... kind of a hard one to draw. I had to change a couple of things ‘cause they worked better that way. Her hair was the biggest one, really. I tried to draw it like the ref but honestly, I couldn’t make it work... It just didn’t look right. So, I gave her her classic bangs and I added these pigtail-style things in her mane. I think I’ve seen actual horses have their hair that way so that’s probably where I got it from XD I replaced the holes in the crown where the hair would normally be with rubies so it looked a little fancier. I also added some more stripes for aesthetic purposes and earrings as well XD
Twilight :
I know what you’re probably gonna say: “But Twilight isn’t big enough?! She supposed to be GIANT almost!”. Yes, I know, but to be honest I couldn’t fit her in the picture well enough so I shrank her a little. It’s kind of like a perspective thing if you know what I mean?? Like, she’s supposed to be farther away... or something. IDK, just accept it XD
Her design was something I almost completely redesigned, but I kept a few original pieces in there (or at least inspired by them). The weird ribbon head piece was inspired by the original ringlet, and the wings have this cool flamey-gradient effect that was similar to the original as well. She also has loads of sparkles on her X3 And the hair is a lot more swept back as well (I decided to ditch the bangs for this one).
Rarity :
I kept this one pretty similar, but I also changed a lot as well... I gave her a cute little ponytail complete with a ribbon ‘cause I thought it would make her look a little cuter, but also a little sadder because she’s trying to be fashionable but unfortunately, she just can’t afford much. And yeah, the cloak is little bit different too, but eh... I thought it looked nice.
Applejack :
I actually really loved drawing this design for some reason lol. I didn’t really change that much, just kind of added a bun.
Celestia :
She looks SO CUTE HHHHHHH
I loved drawing a filly version of her :’D Since I like drawing my Equestria princesses (even if in this world they’re not actually royalty) with floof on their legs, I couldn’t resist adding that X3
I read on Celestia’s ref that she puts stickers on her flank to make her not look like a blank-flank, so I chose a really pretty flower for her to sport in this particular picture XD
Luna :
This one is ALSO ADORABLE! ;3;
This is pretty much just like the canon young version of Luna, but with some added floof and and slight mane changes. :3 And yes, I gave her freckles.
And regarding the CM, I only changed the colours of it because I thought it would just mesh with her design a little better than the red/ white/ black. ^^”
Pinkie :
Preeeetty much the same design as I drew it before, but with some added details. I don’t think I really changed much... I just gave her different bracelets lol
Oh, and drawing curly hair IS HARD X-X
Fluttershy :
I think I had the most fun with this one TBH XD I gave her design a complete overhaul and honestly, I personally love it XD I had to look up punk/ rock styles on Pinterest and I found some clothes that looked really cool and it was also not too hard to ponify. I gave her lip and ear piercings too, to add to the overall look ^^
The background:
Yeah, I know, it’s not much but honestly?? I couldn’t really think of what to do with it. I mostly wanted the focus to be on the ponies themselves, so I just kind of made it dark and looming, just to add to the overall mood of the piece.
Sooo I really hope that you, , didn’t mind TOO much about the changes (I mean, you did give me permission on a couple of them)... I’m sorry if you don’t really like some of them but well... I tried ^^”
I hope you’re happy though with the picture in general, I certainly worked hard to make it as best as I possibly could

Sort of... You see. In this world, when she was baby, Rainbows parents thought it would be a good idea to go on a cruse. One thing led to another and the filly was lost at sea. Eventually, Rainbow washed up on some remote island populated by a tribe of superstitious zebra who had never seen a pony before. Due to her wings, and her unusual coloring's, the zebra got it in there heads pretty quickly that she was daughter of there sky god. This of coarse was bad for everypony as she pretty much took on a Xerxes from 300 approach to the roll.

Not necessarily... I just feel she wouldn't care. The rainbowdash we all know and love never existed and in her steed we have one that's mad with power and on quest to prove herself as the worlds strongest being.

Oh my goodness!!! This is perfect!
The buns on Rarity and Applejack fit in with there new personalities so well.
The concern on Celestia and lunas face, As well as The " How did i get here?" Look on Pinkies, is so on point. I love it!!
Fluttershy looks spectacular! I hated the way she looked before, but i could never figure how to fix her. If you don't mind, I would like to make that her official look from now on(:
Twilight looks gorgeous, especially the hair ribbon. Don't worry about the size by the way. She's supposed to be huge, but I dont really have a cannon height. What I gave you was just a rough estimate.
And Rainbowdash, WOW. Your literately the first one whose truly captured how screwed in the head she is. And you got the chains on her face
right too! Every time Ive had someone draw her, the chains are ether gone or she standing in a way that you cant see them.
I really love this (': It's everything I wanted and more. A real ten out of ten for creativity and skill. I'm just sorry I cant afford to tip you this time

Aaaaahh that’s so great! I’m so happy you like it :’D
Oh that’s good! I just thought it would give them a bit more character
Lol I’m glad you like their faces, I was going for something a little intense, but then of course there’s Pinkie XD
Aw that’s great! And yeah totally! I hope it’s not too complex for you to draw, I mean, I tend to go overboard with details sometimes ^^”
Oh ok good, I’m glad Twilight looks fine! I didn’t draw a dress on her since I couldn’t think of anything good design-wise, but I’m happy that you like what I did with her ^^
Oh wow really?! Well that’s awesome that I drew her properly! I tried to keep to original design as much as I could, but of course I had to add a little bit of my own flare~
And I actually really enjoyed drawing her that way haha, I guess it’s just really fun to draw unhinged characters XD
HHHHHHHHH thank you ;3; it means a lot to hear that you like it, after all, you’re one it was for! And don’t worry about not tipping me, you sent me plenty in points ;3

It certainly does. Especially on Rarity. Ive never put much thought into what here hair looks like under the hood, but that's definitely it now(:
Yeah Pinkies definitely not up for this. She has a kid to take care of after all (: But Celestia and Luna are more then happy to help, even if they are scared.
Details are Important. Of coarse I cant match your skill But I'll try my best
Yeah Twilight looks great .So glad you were able to do something with her. My first reference I made looked too spindly. And trying to draw her upside down was just awkward in my second.
Unhinged is an understatement But you pulled it off great. Love the earrings by the way. I originally wanted to put earrings on her. But thought that would be too much.... I stand corrected
I'm glad you understand(: Any chance your up for another Commission? I'll have some more money next week and I have Something else i think you could tackle.

That’s really good haha!
Ha yeah, she ain’t got time for that! But she got roped into it anyway XD
And yeah, I figured the celestial sisters would be a bit frightened/ worried, they’re only fillies after all!
I suppose heh, but I’m sure you’ll do fine with it You could always simplify it a bit if you wanted to~
Yeah no worries, I actually had fun designing her! And I made up some pretty cool flamey wing gradients that I’ll probably end up using again on a new OC or something XD
Heh yeah, VERY unhinged XD And I’m glad you like the earrings, I just thought it would be a nice touch, since zebras like Zacora like wearing them ^^
Weeeell.... I’d love to, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll have the time to do anything till after Christmas. I’ve got a lot to do ^^” But, if you’re happy waiting for a bit, you could send me your new idea via Notes. You never know, I might end up getting the time after all

Wow! I have to admit that this artwork looks so amazing! It is like you have illustrated a poster for a movie! And by the word, "poster," I am hosting a poster contest for every artist and illustrator to help me complete my work with an illustration of theirs. Would you like to join the contest?
MLP - The Unexpected Future Poster ContestToday, I would like to tell you about the idea of making a cinematic poster for my radio play, My Little Pony: The Unexpected Future. I was thinking about making an artistic illustration in a style of Drew Struzan & Kyle Lambert. If you don't know who they are, the links of their works are below the description of this journal. And by starting the work of the poster, I have made a unique retro background of space and colors in Photoshop. But, there is one more thing that is missing...
There are no story characters featured in the poster! And I am just only a contemporary graphic artist with autism who does art differently than the traditional ways. That's why I need one of YOU, professional artists and illustrators, to help me complete my work. And by doing that, I decided a fun activity for everyone to volunteer and to participate.
I want to invite every artist and illustrator to help me complete my poster with an illu
