Description
I spontaneously made a size chart. I also wanted to draw black and white ponies to see how they would look like. I've learned some interesting things from this experience:
- The one with the darkest coat isn't Twilight, it's actually Applejack! Who would've guessed?
- Some of the colors next to each other don't have any difference in brightness, making them loose their contrast when they're black and white. Examples: Everything on Fluttershy, Pinkie's cutie mark and the yellow streak in RD's mane.
Anyway, headcanons!
- Unicorn Twilight is small and scrawny even by unicorn standards, with long thin legs. She's physically weak from never working out but has a longer than average horn.
- Rainbow dash is stockily built with shorter but stronger legs. Both she and Fluttershy are of average size for a pegasus.
- Fluttershy is the same height as RD but she has a thinner body with longer legs.
. Rarity is a bit larger and stronger than the average unicorn. My headcanon is that she has a lot of earth pony relatives, so she's physically stronger than she think she is.
- In my headcanon Twilight didn't grow wings, she was reborn with a completely new body. She's now the same height as Pinkie, but she will grow more in the future. Her tail gained more hair as well.
- Pinkie has the average height and strength of an earth pony. She gives of a rather large impression with her huge mane.
- Applejack is the biggest and strongest of the all, larger than the average earth pony. It's in the family, Apple bloom will grow to be a big pony as well.
(You may have noticed that I've started to draw Pegasi with tail feathers. I got this idea directly from the awesome Earthsong9405. Just wanted to mention that.)

You measure to their heads? Aren't horses supposed to be measured to the shoulders?
Nice art and headcanons though!

I was noticing your style was a lot like Earhsong's, glad it was not just me. That said I really like your work and little had cannons.
Not really a fan of the bird tails on the Pegasi, it looks like it would be more in the way, but the rest of the design is great especially the idea of the front feathers.
Love the "classic" look for the unicorns as well as how large the earth ponies are.
Keep it up, you've got yourself a new watcher.

Thank you! I'm glad you like my work. C:
My style is similar to Earthsong's, yes. I've liked her pony art for quite some time so I've taken some inspiration from her. I don't want to copy her though!

Twilight was reborn? Like a phoenix coming out of the ashes? o:

I'm sorry - but those shapes looks... WIERD! Kind of creepy to some degree. :S
And theri facial expresions are also kind of strange.
This became a real uncanny valley for me!
I did like your size expectations tough, sicne they are rather similar to my own expectations.
Earthponies are naturaly more buffed, taller and stronger due to simply needing to be stronger sicne they don't have magic.
Unicorns are more lean, slender and not physicaly as impresive as an earthpony. But, this is overcome by their magical abilites.
And, lastly, the Pegasi. Small, slick, agile, fast. Everything a good flyer needs.
As a side note, well done on the subtle beefyness of RD compared to Fluttershy. Since we all know RD is a athlete.
I will say that maybe went a little out of your way on twilight being so small.
I know AJ said se is a small pony, but really?

Yeah, I don't have the most experience in drawing cartoony styles or semirealism, so it might come of as uncanny.
Ahaha, I just like tiny twilight ^^

I really love re-imaginings like this! And I really like your headcanon.
This makes Applejack's "little pony" line in Winter Wrap-Up actually make sense.

They're so fun! I kinda wish more people could draw unicorns like this.
Thank you ^^
