Description
UPDATE, December 14th, 2014: I changed the proportions and layout a bit so it could potentially work better as an actual poster.----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have an idea for a comic series; specifically, an adaptation of a truly awesome pony fanfiction, which is a G1-G4 crossover. www.fimfiction.net/story/71660…
As an 80s baby, I retain a certain nostalgic attachment to the old, original ponies, even though the writing and characterization for that program truly can’t compare to the new G4. G1 still has its charm for me.
And so, here you have some of my favorite G1 ponies, drawn in something of a G4/G1 hybrid style. Or at least, that’s what I was going for. I hope you like them. I’d never realized before doing this character sheet, just how much “pink” dominates these ponies’ color schemes. XD
More character sheets relating to this personal project of mine are to come. I can’t say when I will be able to truly get started on the comic in earnest, as I am somewhat divided in my activities and responsibilities right now. Hopefully, not too long from now...

As always, any and all constructive criticism is welcome.
UPDATE: In response to a couple of comments, I have edited Button's caption a bit to give her a little more character. I have also added the "wings" to the hearts of Heart Throb's cutie mark. The "wingless" version was something I observed in a screen shot of the show, but apparently that must have been an animation error, as most other sources indicate that the hearts have wings. Just thought that was noteworthy.

Oh yes, several more. At least two or three more just for the general ponies. Probably another for the 'big brother' ponies. Another for the Sea ponies. Another for the Flutter ponies. Another for the Princess Ponies, including Queen Majesty. And maybe even another for non-pony, non-human characters, like Spike and the Moochick and Tirek. But we'll see if I have the patience for that last one.
Not to mention the comic series itself, which will be epic in proportion; much more ambitious than anything I've done before.
Next up is the three main human characters though. Each of them will get their own sheet.

I never saw G1 as i was born in '97 but for some reason i have a fond attachment to Surprise. And this whole thing looks perfect. I also like the way you drew Surprise and Galaxy though the rest are great as well.

Thank you.
I guess for me there a significant nostalgia factor, as well as the fact that the author of this fanfiction developed the starting material so interestingly, and made me want to explore it again.

Hmm...
Buttons is Rarity? Well, add a bit of Heart Throb, and yes.
Gusty is Rainbow Dash
Posey is Fluttershy, plus a little bit of Shady.
Gingerbread is a combination of the Cakes and BonBon
FIZZY IS DERPY
Wind Whistler and Galaxy combine to make... Twilight Sparkle?

I think of Hearth Throb, mostly, as the G1 equivalent of Rarity.
But really, all the characters are different enough that they don't necessarily overlap perfectly. G4 Applejack is kind of a mix between G1 Applejack and Truly, and Surprise is still very distinct from Pinkie Pie. And I think that's fine. Each is really their own character.

The actual list is:
Firefly - RD
Posey - Fluttershy
Sparkler - Rarity
Twilight - duh!
Surprise - Pinkie
Applejack...
The best match for Derpy is Bubbles: mylittlewiki.org/wiki/Bubbles

Actually Firefly is Rainbow Dash, we have Word of God on that one.

I was just making comparisons on this page, and ONLY on this page.
If it had all of the characters, then I would have said that.

Ah, never mind then. Carry on.

Never saw G1, as I was too young (and never had a sister or female cousin to force me to watch it had I been old enough), but I've been fascinated with G1/G4 crossovers since joining the fandom. Not sure why, but if I had to guess I'd say it was because most of the G1 fans are older and more experienced authors/artists.

Shady was always my favourite, good job!

Lovely design ^^
Damn nicely done.

She's coming. She'll be on page two.

You did Wind Whistler! She's my absolute fave! I have two versions of her right now and I am going to restore both; except one of them will become a custom; a G1 version, and a pegasus, of the G3 earth pony, Autumn Sky.
Great work on their character bios though. Awesome stuff!

Thanks. I'm glad you think so. I think G1 deserves more love than it usually gets from the MLP fandom.

The ponies look great, especially Heart Throb! Nice to see some love for G1.

Good. I'd love to see what your versions of Firefly, original Twilight, and Applejack look like.

Firefly and Applejack are coming up next. Twilight maybe in the following page.

You're welcome. This is only the beginning. Wait until you see what I've done with Megan.
Thanks for the watch, by the way.

Never mind Minty Gingerbread is Bonbon's mother.

Oh is my previous head cannon that minty is Bombon's mom but Gingerbread works better.

This looks incredible and I love how you've captured the Twinkle-eye ponies appearances. I'm really excited and nervous for this as it's going to be a ton of work. I'm definitely behind you 100% though and hope we'll keep hearing about this!

Thank you very much.
Yes, this is probably the biggest and most challenging project I've ever undertaken. But I'm just going to take it one step at a time until it's done.

posey is now fultershys mother or grandmother in my head cannon now

Well, if an Earth Pony can directly give birth to a pegasus, then sure.

It was revealed in an FIM episode that they can. (Also, these are very awesomely drawn - I favorited this long ago, but didn't comment. Sorry)

S'okay. Thanks for the comment. ^^

Will there be a page covering Firefly?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You think there should be?
There have been so many G4 renditions of Firefly, I'm not sure it's necessary to have her in the character sheets.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I do. Just for completeness.

Did up her sketch last night. She'll be on the next page.
