Description
Well here she is! Meet Megan, the original human in Equestria!This here is my design for both the “younger” and “older” versions of Megan that will be appearing in the comic series I have planned, based on this wonderful fanfiction. www.fimfiction.net/story/71660…
I feel like my ability to illustrate human expressions leaves a bit to be desired. This is still a learning curve for me. Expect me to improve as the comic progresses. (Humans are also MUCH harder to draw than ponies, I’m now remembering...)
This is one of three human character sheets that I will be producing before getting into the comic proper. I have two more ones like this on the way; one for Danny and one for Molly. It shouldn’t be “too” much longer... I originally told myself that I would have all three done before posting them, but I just don’t have that kind of patience it seems.
It has always been my passion to “ground” these kinds of fantasy scenarios with a sense of physical plausibility. Hence, my mild attempts at making the pony just a little bit more anatomically accurate, and perhaps a little more similar to the original G1 style.
I expect I’ll get a few complaints about the size and weight that I chose for the standard pony. Many people seem to think of the G4 ponies as being the size of large dogs, and maybe weighing no more than a human, if even that much. My thoughts on the matter were that the ponies NEED to be large enough for a nearly grown human to be able to ride them (Both older Megan and Danny do so in the story), so the ponies’ shoulders (withers) needed to be as high as an adult human’s waist, in order for it to seem like they can be realistically ridden. This makes them about the size of a Shetland pony (look them up), which weigh in at about 450 lbs. Since I figure these fantasy ponies have a somewhat lighter and more gracile build than the more heavy-set Shetland ponies of the real world, and since a third of them are pegasi and need to be able to FLY, I arbitrarily shaved about 150 lbs off that. Hence, the choice of 300 lbs. That’s for female ponies. Perhaps male Equestrian ponies would actually weigh 450lbs, like a Shetland pony....
I also referenced an actual stature and weight percentile growth chart, to ensure that my choices for height and weight for both younger and older versions of Megan were realistic, and what could be considered healthy. The one I used for Megan and Molly, obviously, was the chart tailored for girls. sta.sh/027l7a1guola I referenced a boys’ growth chart for Danny. sta.sh/0153am30wfx6
Anyway, I hope you like what you see so far. Any and all constructive criticism is always welcome.

I really think Megan should be happy and proud. She taught the ponies well. That's pretty much all we can do. In the old cartoon, I found it irritating how the ponies always went to Megan for every problem. What could she do? She's just a human. Now the ponies could protect themselves and not put all their troubles on her anymore. Maybe even defend her as a way of gratitude for her leadership so long ago. I find it sad that when Megan and her siblings came back, the pony world they knew no longer existed. All of their friends are gone. On the bright side, they can make new friends with their descendants. So do feel bad Megan. Be happy. Your ponies grew gracefully. All thanks to you.

Highly doubtful, honestly. The only humans in G4 we're likely to see are the Equestria Girls versions, and they seem to exist in a different universe than Megan Williams. After all, the name "Megan" is too normal for that universe. XD

Cool idea. Has it ever officially been said how much each of the old generations connect to G4? I'm still waiting for them to bring Megan back. They should have with Tirek.

Megan is a human. I'm not expecting to see any humans, other than what we got in EqG.
And other than this lovely fanfiction and others like it, I'm not expecting any "official" canonical continuity connection between G1 and G4. Tirek of G4 was a completely different character from "Tirac" of G1. He was more of an homage to past incarnations, rather than trying to tie their stories together.
It's the same way they've brought back characters like Applejack, Cheeries Jubilee, the Smooze, and Moondancer. If they ever bring back other characters like Grogar, I'm sure it will just be another homage, where he has a completely different backstory, and thus is a totally different character, other than visual design and name.

I know your comment is old but in a mlp comic that from what I can tell is canon to Equestria Girls series as it was stated as a prequel to the first movie its shown and confirmed Megan and her siblings are teachers at Canterlot high atleast judging by the names we see listed for teachers and She's apparently a teacher who, along with Danny and Molly, handled submissions for the Yearbook in Room E of this comic

Interesting. I wouldn't know these things. I barely pay attention to the Equestria Girls show, let alone comic. I didn't even know there was an EqG comic. It's cool that they brought the Williams kids back. I just wish they'd have found a way to bridge the two continuities.

if you mean the EQG show bridging with MLP;FIM they did that in afew ways already in the EQG movies and EQG cartoon they even had a mlp;fim special involved to further the point of them existing together .
If you mean bridge MLP G1 with G4 continuities I doubt that's ever truly going to happen at best we had Scarpan and Tirek more or less the same and we might get things like how that comic brought the Williams kids back but the matter hasn't really been touched sense all we truly know is they exist in the G4 universe and given how they are adults in that we can only assume time moves differently

True. But there is a small chance that Megan has been in Equestria at one time. And made enough of an impact that Celestia has a book with her name on it hidden (it was shown in the comics, so you never know.)

I've always preferred Megan's outfit from the pilot. She actually looked like she lived on a ranch, and took care of horses.
So I wanted her older version to reflect that practical reality.

Yes, that was a common strategy with her. Except with Tirek and Grogar, where the irredeemable bad guy is just killed or banished. Personally, those were the best ones in my opinion.

I always preferred her original outfit from "Escape from Nightmare Castle" Jeans, riding boots, vest, etc. What horse crazy girl wears a pink blouse, turquoise jumper and pink flats to a horse barn? Your adaptation of her tv series outfit is cute, and her older outfit reminds me of that (mostly forgotten) original outfit.

The Special had more money than the tv show, putting Megan in pink(Sometimes Blue) jumper for the tv show made more sense since it was cheaper and maybe easy to animated. I like Blue Jeans Megan also lol, but you have to face facts the TV show had a smaller budget than the 84 special. Still I love Megan either way though.

My feelings exactly!
I figured she should look more the part in her more mature form.
I also wanted to "slightly" modify her traditional outfit to make it more practical, especially with the footwear.
