Description

Oh god.
...I ADMIT IT. I'M A CLOSET MLP:FIM FAN.
-hides in corner-
But you know what? It's not my fault! It is this group's fault:
Of course I saw this so I was like, 'Why is everyone obsessed with this show?' so I went on Youtube and 26 episodes later I'm like '...crap.'
Anyway, since everyone was doing Danny Phantom as MLP, I didn't want to add to that so I was like, 'Let's do Megamind!' And this was born. XD
SO I HAVE SOME EXPLANATIONS. Here's a FAQ before you ask any questions:

Why is Megamind's head normal size?
It's...kind of impossible to enlarge a pony's head and still look normal like he does in the movie.

Why doesn't he have a mane?
In the movie he's bald, so I decided to add that here. Yet also in the movie he has a goatee, so in here he has a tail.

What are those things on his feet?
Spiked gauntlets. 'Nuff said.

WHAT DID YOU DO TO MINION?!
I wrestled with this one. I wasn't sure what to do with him, since I didn't believe a robotic monkey suit would be in an MLP world. But I didn't want to make him a full pony, either. I did realize there were other animals in the MLP universe like Spike and Applejack's collie, but it didn't feel right making him into a different animal, either. Thus, the water pony was born! They actually have some of these in the older pony generations (I like research ) so it's plausible. He still needs water to breathe so I gave him a tank filled with (invisible ) water and he has all his normal fins and such, with the added bonus of legs! (Hooves?) And he still has his little antennae thing that he has in the movie as well.

Why do Metro Man and Tighten have both unicorn horns and Pegasus wings?
Since Metro Man's powers include flight, strength, and laser vision, I decided to make him have both the powers of the Pegasus and of a unicorn, so he can fly and shoot lasers from his horn. Hal attains this when he get's Metro's powers.

What are the character's cutie marks?
Megamind's mark is his signature logo (it was between this or a lightning bolt). Minion's is a pacifier, since he's the caretaker of Megamind. Roxanne's is, obviously, a microphone for reporting. Metro Man's is a musical note - but not a regular musical note. If he was turned more to the side you'd see if a scratchy music note like in cartoons when someone's trying to play an instrument and it comes out sounding horribly. It's not a 'hero' mark because that's not what he wanted to be! And finally, Tighten's mark is a flame for his destructive nature and turning evil.

Why is Roxanne brown while the others are brightly colored?
I debated over this, too. In MLP:FiM, everyone is brightly colored and this isn't a big deal to them, but in the movie everyone is freaked out by Megamind being blue. So I figure Equestria (where the REAL My Little Ponies live) is far away from Metro City (Mare City? Mustang City? Lol). In Metro City, all the ponies are regular colored (brown, black, white, beige, etc.) So they're scared of Megamind's blue coloring. (Too bad he didn't end up in Equestria!) While Metro Man is still alien and off-colored (more gold than white) they still trust him more because he looks more like them.

Okay, that makes sense...then why is Hal bright red?
Before he gained Metro's powers, he was an ordinary color too. But with gaining the powers he changed color, gaining the red that is prominent of him in the movie with his suit.

Well, that's all I can think of right now. If you have any more questions, please comment and I'll answer you and might put it up here if it's asked frequently.

Please enjoy! And remember...FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC.

I'd think you ought to be able to enlarge just the top of Megamind Pony's head and still have it look normal. Even if you barely enlarged it, it would help the image. Also you mentioned that you gave him a tail because of his goatee, but shouldn't you also give him an actual goatee?

Raygreens [2011-07-05 23:18:28 +0000 UTC]

one last question: why did you choose a pacifier as minion's cutei mark?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sugar-Loop In reply to Raygreens [2011-07-06 00:04:53 +0000 UTC]

Actually I already answered that one, but that's okay. It's a pacifier because he's Megamind's caretaker (babysitter in some cases ) so the pacifier symbolizes him taking care of Megamind since he was a baby.

This is very cool and cute!^-^I loved your explanations,they make a lot of sense I'm also a assumed MLP:FIM fan,but I also love 'Megamind'. Great drawing. A little advice,if you're drawing them again,try making Tighten's hair look more like Pinkie's.This will give a more MLP:FIM effect.

Thanks! Yeah, I was trying to go for that but I didn't want to copy her hairstyle.

No problem!^-^And I don't quite think it would be that bad copying her hair style,it would make sense for the ones who read 'Cupcakes' or know what it's about(thankfully,I'm one of the ones that just knows what it is about)
