Description FOR THE LOVE OF ART; READ EVERYTHING! Especially the BOLD comments!

I know I said the Goat was supposed to be my first and last pony related artwork...and of all the boyfriends in the world...mine had to be a bronie. Oh well, he keeps things interesting. ^_^
While watching the Royal Canterlot Wedding episode, we started to get into a conversation why the only Pegacorns you see in the show are princesses/females. Celestia, Luna and now Cadance? Where are the male Pegacorns?
The only prince we've seen in the show was Prince Blueblood, and he was a standard unicorn. You'd think a relative of Princess Celestia would have been a pegacorn by breed?
After a bit of debate, we got a bit curious, and since my boyfriend has no idea how to use photoshop, the task fell upon me to bring these boys to life. Basically, we designed them as male counterparts to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Meet Prince Sirius, the Prince of Space, and Prince Chronos, the Prince of Time.

Prince Chronos is obviously the elder brother. Named after the ancient Greek god of Time. Guardian of the flowing Sands of Time, and keeper of the Universal Time Stream. He is golden in color, and wears Silver/White Gold armor pieces with ruby gems. His Mane and Tail are done up in a Trojan horse style with a bit more flare, and they are remnant of the Sands of Time. Getting it to look somewhat flowy and sandy was not easy...and I'm not entirely happy with it. His "Cutie Mark" is basically multiple time faces, the kind you would find on a standard watch, stop watch, and clock.
Personality wise; He is very serious and to the point. He doesn't see the point in play and takes his duty as Time Keeper very seriously. He will occasionally scold his brother for irresponsible actions and playful nature.

Prince Sirius is the younger brother, Guardian of worlds, and keeper of the stars. He is named after the brightest star in the sky. He is Silver in color and wears Black steel/Gunmetal armor with Sapphire orbs. His mane and tail are done up in the similar Trojan horse style that Chronos also wears, only Sirius wears a Nebula mane and tail. I chose a nebula because it is scientifically believed that stars supernova to form Nebulas, and then the nebula cycles the remains within itself into a birthing of new stars. Kinda like a real life "Space Phoenix". ^_^ I do like how the mane and tail came out.
His "Cutie Mark" is designed to look like his namesake of the star Sirius. The larger size of the mark is to signify the brightness of this star.
Personality wise; Sirius, despite his name and brother's demeanor, is not at all Serious. He is a playful male, and loves to go galloping out among the stars. He likes to enjoy life and will sometimes try to get his older brother to loosen up and enjoy life.

I have to admit, it was fun coming up with their designs. And I purposely altered the male aspects to differ from the females to make them more distinctive. The male's wings are sleeker, more meant for speed, and they have the Pollex (bird's thumb) on their wings. The armor they wear is similar in design to what Celestia and Luna wear, only they are bulkier and appear more like a Yoke in style, giving these stallions more strength in their necks and chests. Their shoes are also similar in design of the princesses, but I added in the wings as reminiscent to the Greek/Roman god Hermes/Mercury, giving them more of a swift-footed look, and a more masculine appearance. And the "Crowns" they wear, I designed them to be similar to the helm that Nightmare Moon wore. I liked that style of head gear for a male, and it gives them a more distinctive difference from the princess's Tiaras.

These were not designed to be Consorts to the princesses from the show. I'm not that kind of fan artist. These were designed in fun, and we both felt that male Pegacorns needed to be brought to light.

I also made a "Base" out of these boys for folks to use to try and set up a foundation for others to design their own Prince Pegacorns. If you are willing to follow the Terms of Use, you can find the Bases here: Prince Pegacorn Bases

Oh, and I refuse to call these creatures "Alicorns". Before the Furry community adopted the word to define this as a species, the word Alicorn was actually used to describe the magical substance that the unicorn's horn was made of.
These critters are Pegacorns = Pegasus + Unicorn, or simply put; Winged Unicorns.
This is the true original definition of the word Alicorn. Feel free to look up the word in any original Non-Furry fantasy based book/website.


EDIT - Since people refuse to READ, I will put this simply; ANYONE WHO IGNORANTLY COMMENTS "These are Alicorns, not Pegacorns" WILL BE IGNORED, LABELED AS SPAM, AND CONSIDERED AN ILLITERATE IGNORANT TROLL. IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO FALL UNDER THIS CONSIDERATION, LEARN TO READ MY IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE YOU POST UP YOUR IGNORANT SPAM ON MY ARTWORK!

EDIT - Yes...there have been many ignorant people making these comments, and it gets very annoying that people don't read and feel the need to post something because they like to fall in with the fads and memes. Never seems to occur to them that there may be a reason why people like me do the things we do.

You seize to see a dream approach, before you know it, it stands bright before you, you are overwhelmed by the happiness, a grandeur vast feeling.

You one day then see and feel the dream coming to an end and there is nothing you can do about it, by the time you realize, your dreams get annihilated and you do not know what to do.

New dreams will always keep forming, but once its gone, it is gone forever, thus for what was written is and always will forever remain written forever and unforgotten.


Nice Ponies!

I always figured there was an alicorn in charge of the summer and winter, like night and day (dark, light, hot cold) I think cadence does winter and autumn, and Blueblood was supposed to do spring and summer, but since he was born a wingless freak ponies have to clear the winter away and bring spring themselves.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SaturnGrl In reply to Ziblink [2012-06-16 03:31:07 +0000 UTC]

I think Cadance is in charge of the power of Love. That seemed to be her main magical ability, as Twilight stated; "How many Unicorns can just spread love wherever they go?"
I think Blueblood is devoid of significant powers because he doesn't want to work or get dirty.

Ziblink In reply to SaturnGrl [2012-06-16 04:01:32 +0000 UTC]

I dunno, do we know he doesn't want to work? I mean Rarity doesn't want to get dirty either but we get to SEE her working; we really know little about Blueblood; it's like bumping into an annoying salesperson in a store and going 'Geez, what a jerk!' when they've had a bad day serving cranky customers; we're really in no position to judge him. At the least he's normal for his station, remember Photo Finish (Being carried about on a platform by servants?) and her stuck up attitude, Sapphire Shores' 'I want this, I assume you will make it, good day!', Hoity Toity and let's not forget the events of Sweet and Elite; it's like no rich pony is capable of being nice. (Well, maybe Filthy Rich who at least seems to respect the Apple family.)

Yes, It is true that the wealthy lead a "privileged" life, and are usually self centered, but not all are that way. Its a common misconception. But then again, Prince Blueblood isn't a regular civilian like Rarity and the others. He is no doubt spoiled, waited on, and his every whim obeyed by his servants so long as he doesn't do something that Celestia would frown upon. I doubt he's ever worked once in his life. Even a wealthy pony has to start somewhere getting dirty with work, but royalty is another story.

Ziblink In reply to SaturnGrl [2012-06-16 09:30:13 +0000 UTC]

There you go again.

'He is no doubt spoiled, waited on, and his every whim obeyed by his servants so long as he doesn't do something that Celestia would frown upon'; how do we know that though? We guess. Why? because BB is the standard rich jerk character. We don't need to *know* anything about him, he's a rich jerk and that means he is bad by default. It's like monetary racism, we can invent his entire life based on the fact he's rich. He's spoiled, arrogant, lazy we don't need to ask *what* he may be like when we can assume total jerkishness.

I mean for one thing, isn't Celestia spoiled? You've seen how everypony bowed and scraped when she visited Ponyville, how terrified AJ was about offending her. And as I've said, Photo Finish and several other well off ponies have been shown to be much, much more spoiled than anything we see relating to BB. but we can dismiss them because they're not the default 'mean' character.

Cadence is nice, or at least appears to be and you'd think she'd be in the exact same boat as BB, what is the difference, what separates them? you can't go 'All royals are jerks' unless you have a good reason for why Cadence isn't aside from 'Well... she's just nice.'

And heck, look what happened to rarity with the addition of a single pair of wings; what would have happened if she hadn't got them burned? Would she ever have stopped acted so haughty? For all that we know BB may be in a similar situation, so caugght up in looking good at the gala he goes full jerk mode for the night but is otherwise a perfectly nice stallion.

It really is a pity how quick people are to judge others based on a single experience. The world needs more understanding.

SaturnGrl In reply to Ziblink [2012-06-16 14:47:51 +0000 UTC]

I think it is funny that you would call me out on judging the defined personality traits and demeanor of a cartoon character, when you passed judgement on Blueblood being a "wingless freak".
Why you wish to start a debate on this is beyond me.

This has nothing to do with "understanding the world". Whether or not I see Blueblood as the self-centered and snobbish character that he is (Which IS his defined character personality trait according to his creators) it does not make me wrong to have that opinion. If you want to go around and try to praise, defend, and redeem a character who has yet to show humility by his own creators in the cannon cartoon show, then you need to take a step back and REALLY look at yourself and what you are doing.

ITS A CARTOON. None of these characters are real people. They are created by people with specific personalities so that the people who watch the program can easily see and recognize them. Its not like I go around making judgement like that on REAL PEOPLE. I've been around the world. I know there are people of all different kinds of personalities, and I love getting to know them. You don't know me, so don't judge me for my opinion of a cartoon character, WHO DOESN'T EVEN EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD.

You've completely derailed from commenting on the artwork itself, and you attack and judge me on my personal opinion. I think you came here just looking for a fight to start with someone who isn't even a fan of this particular TV show. And before you even try to throw out the card "Well, why are you drawing fan art of the show?" I drew 2 pictures based on this MLP FIM stuff, and I drew them because other people kept asking me to do it.

To end this, and this WILL be the end of this conversation whether you like it or not, you want to make me look like some kind of snobbish, judgmental person when I am not. You want to go about and talk how people shouldn't be judge based on first impression. Well sweety, the road runs in two directions, and there is an old saying that I do like to live by; Actions Speak Louder than Words.

And right now, your actions and words (Based on your replies in text) are just screaming "TROLL".
If you are not here to comment on the artwork and are trying to start a fight, then GTFO.

Yeah, I like his tail and main the best too. I tried to get a sand-like appearance to Chronos, but it was getting weird and complicated. So I left it as is. Maybe if I can figure out e better way to photoshop a sand effect, I'll redo it.
