Description I've actually been saving this one for awhile. I'm still not sure where this came from, but it's here, so I might as well acknowledge the fact. Now, on to the boring explanation which no one but me will read!

I'm sure I'm not the first to imagine the mane six as alicorn goddesses (theories on whether or not Celestia is grooming them to take over for herself and Luna in future can be discussed ad nauseum later) . In my re-imagining them, they're still tied to the Elements of Harmony (hence the necklaces/crown) , though I couldn't tell you what they're doing here. Maybe someone worse than Discord showed up? I'm also still not sure about the proportions. These are pretty messed up, but I did make an attempt! I also tried to make them individuals, but also put them all in the gold that their original necklaces (and Twilight's crown) were made of. I thought that would tie them together.

Twilight is still probably the leader/uniter, so I gave her the insignia/symbol of the elements of harmony img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20… around her neck, in addition to the crown. Also, since the whole alicorn thing seems to include a change in the mane/tail, I gave her a kind of sunset motif (Twilight. yeah. )

Rainbow Dash pretty much needed to be in one of those lovely Romanesque helmets, and I figure that, as a goddess, her mane and tail would trail a permanent rainbow behind her. (I didn't make it very long in this pic so it wouldn't get in the way) . She almost got a full set of armor, but that seemed to be overkill.

Rarity was born for this kind of thing. Seriously. What's more fabulous than the grace and elegance of goddess-hood? Besides being longer, her mane and tail gained a lot of sparkle. Of course Rarity would have to have lots of sparkles! I also designed a little crown for her. Something that wouldn't compete visually with Twilight's, or be heavy-looking.

Pinkie ended up with a mane that appears to be half-cloud, half creamy globules of sugary who-knows-what. While all of their manes and tails would move on their own (like Celesita's and Luna's) , Pinkie's would change shape like smoke. I just imagined her to have wild, fun hair, like the silliness is bursting out of her!

Fluttershy is another pony who would have the right kind of poise for being a goddess. Despite being a pegasus, she's so tied to the earth and its creatures, I can see live flowers growing out of her hair, and maybe wafting out behind her when she moves. Potentially messy, but could look lovely! I'm not sure how I feel about her or Applejack's design, and may change them in future, if I ever draw them again.

Yeah...Applejack... I debated the hat for a long while, because it seemed like such a part of her, but let's face it; cowboy hats do not look right on royalty. (AJ might disagree, but I can see Rarity putting her diamond-shod hoof down on this one) . The fire mane and tail were more because I liked the way they looked, and because her coloring fit. She can be pretty fiery, though. It's more of an emotional than intellectual fit.

I may think of other things to say, but for now, I'm signing off.

Its a wii game where a wolf god has to save a world with a magic paintbrush. XD The idea sounded stupid but it is pretty fun.

(Just now spotting this)

While I'm sure the majority of the fandom probably doesn't like the thought of more alicorns, part of me looks at this and goes "This needs to happen in the finale"

Hey there!

I was wondering if you would mind terribly if I wrote a fanfiction companion piece to this. I know that on most sites, alicorn!mane6 fics are usually dissed... often because they're poorly written. However, I had more of a personal project in mind - plus it's a bit of a school challenge.

I'm asking because for a while, I had bumbled around with different ideas for the challenge, but none stuck. Then I stumbled across this amazing drawing of yours and I had some premonistic vision of the alicorned mane six in your design on a totally Arthurian-era hunt. (For prey, enemies, a white stag... Whichever.)

So it is with humble intentions that I approach you for permission to use these descriptions. I would credit you of course, and link it. If you would go so far as to want to help me with plot ideas I would be much obliged as well ^^

If you agree I will send you a short summary of the plot. If you refuse, I understand and I'll hold no grudge. ~

Thank you so much for your compliments, and for asking permission. I would be very happy to have you use this as inspiration ^__^ I'm glad that it brought any ideas to you at all!

Just to let you know, my designs for the girls might change a bit in future. I think Applejack will have hair that breaks into apple tree leaves, rather than fire, and Fluttershy's might be butterflies, rather than flowers. You can use the old designs or the possible new ones I just mentioned, whichever strikes your fancy. I'd love to read what you come up with, so please send me a link as soon as you have something down!

theforgottenkeyboard In reply to SapphireGamgee [2013-04-08 04:51:04 +0000 UTC]

This makes us happy indeed! Our plans for the precious are proceeding...

That's fine, about the design change. I haven't written very far yet and changing a few words describing their manes is easy.

Here's the abbreviated summary, or more or less a summarization of what I've planned for it so far:

It's been almost fifty years since the day the Sun and the Moon yielded their power to the Six Elements. Two Princesses return to the long-lost realm of mysteries; six take their place, Magic at their head.

But evil stirs once more in the peaceful land of Equestria.

An enemy none could have expected has turned from the light to the dark, and is beckoning many armies to his call. The Changelings forsake their queen; the evil spirits of the northern ice leave Sombra's side; and the withdrawn dragons of the east step into the light of battle.

War is coming, Princess Twilight. Your enemy is closer to you than ever before.

Can your petty Elements save you now?

...

So... yeah. If you want me to spoil it for you (the secret enemy, that is), so you can help with plot points, that's up to you. Personally I love surprises

I'll send you a rough draft of the prologue/first chapter as soon as I can get it formatted!

Like I said, you can use the old designs or the new ones. Don't feel like you have to be married to either XD

This sounds so interesting! I shall sit back and watch- I wouldn't know how to help with plot points Thanks for offering, though! I'm excited to see the first part!
