Description Yaaaaay PONIES.

Oh gosh oh gosh, okay. Several things. Firstly:

Hours before I finished working on this, =aeolus06 uploaded a very similar picture (which is extremely lovely and you should go look at it), and so I feel a little bit like a copycat, but I promise this is not so - it is just the siren call of ponies, that's all. In fact, everybody should probably be drawing a similar picture right now, so what exactly is the holdup, you guys?

Secondly, I really have practiced drawing pony ponies instead of people ponies, so hopefully I'll be brave enough to post some of those too, eventually.

Now, about this picture, I should probably apologize. For some reason, my brain thinks 80s/90s fashion is the best thing in the world, as long as it's not being worn by me or by any real person. I was going to dress them in cute contemporary clothes, but I don't know anything about contemporary fashion anyway, so I might as well give them dorky out-of-date outfits as not, right? If you look closely, you will see that Twilight is wearing a snap-band, as well as one of those really cool bright watches I wish you could still buy.

Regarding Rainbow Dash, I haven't done any research at all, so it's entirely possible that I was the only kid who thought knotting your t-shirt at your waist was the height of coolitude, but I'm fairly sure the tie-die was actually a thing in those carefree days of the last millennium.

Pinkie Pie ...P-Pinkie Pie chose her own ensemble.

Rarity makes her own fashion and always has, and Fluttershy would look just as sweet and pretty in a potato sack. I suspect Applejack would also look about the same no matter what the decade. I wish you could see her freckles better.

And that's it. Download if you wish, for increased bigness.

I love how 80s pinkie-pie looks heehee <3 they're all very well done and i think they all do the characters justice. I think pulling off Twilight is kinda difficult (or should I say, difficolt! oh god never again) but you seemed to have nailed her pretty well!

One detail that you've included is they are different heights, like real people would be, I like Rarity's scarf and Pinkie Pie's CIndy Lauper '80s look! They suit the girls well! Good work!

I keep looking at pinkie pie and all I can think is Jem from Jem and the holograms probably because of your eighties fascination XD

Excellent! I always thought Pinkie Pie would perfectly fit the 80s look, and now I can say I was right. She looks so at home in those clothes. Twilight Sparkle's hair is just plain marvellous, I can't stress how much I love the shape of her haircut. I'm also adoring Fluttershy's sunny yellow gumboots - they seem so in character for her somehow. Great work on all of their expressions too.

Also, I have a friend who looks a lot like your interpretation of Rainbow Dash, it's so cute.

You have the cutest gallery on DeviantArt, hands down. This picture made me make a really strangely, high pitched noise! Fluttershy looks like she could melt iron with her adorability.

I'm such a nerd for this fashion era, even though I can't put one together to save my life. XD LOVE IT!!

Thus far I've only seen the first two episodes, but I greatly enjoyed them! I think you've caught their personalities perfectly with the outfits you've given them, and I love how you've included their symbols somewhere on each one. :3 And slap-bands and tying knots in shirts were-- I mean, ARE TOTALLY AWESOME! Way to go!! ^_^

Thanks very much! Coming up with cute (or at least adorably dorky) outfits has got to be why drawing peoplefied ponies is so irresistible. It's like dress-up and pretty pretty ponies all rolled into one.

Knotting your shirt at the waist _was_ the height of coolitude. As were jelly bracelets and layered scrunched socks...

These are awfully cute...just wish they were the _real ponies_, not the reboot. You should do the originals--Blossom, Butterscotch, Minty, Cotton Candy, Snuzzle, Peachy, Bluebell, or Glory and Moondancer and Melody and Applejack and Bowtie...sigh... Yes, I still have all of mine from way back when

Tell-Me-Lies In reply to taviannah [2011-04-09 03:47:37 +0000 UTC]

I like original ponies too, but I never saw much of the cartoons - just the specials, mostly. It'd be a lot harder for me to sort of assign them clear-cut personalities, too. Apart from that, there are just so many, it'd be really hard for me to pick a core group.

I do still have all of my ponies too, however.

Considering MLP is from the 80's originally, I think 80's clothes are appropriate. Actually, Pinkie's clothes fit her perfectly. xD; This is actually a very good human version and yes, I need to draw my own human version's of these guys too. It will happen eventually. xD;;

Well done! *faves*
