Description
I've kinda been debating with myself if I should post this here since 1) it was lineart and I wasn't sure if I wanted to consider that a "finished" work and B) "Ew human."But then I decided I'll consider lineart "finished" enough in case I have future pictures that are good, but just don't get colored.
I'd also like to work on making these humans as good as they can get so if there is any advice, opinions, comments, critiques, etc, let me know.

Some opinions/comments about each of them
RD: She looks good, albeit a bit short/young.
Fluttershy: This may sound weird, but I'm so glad you didn't go for the stereotypical shy girl/big boobs look and choose a body that complements her innocence and actually makes sense.
Twi and Pinkie: I've seen enough pics of them to know they are already perfect.
Applejack: She's alright. I don't see her as busty but that's just my personal opinion.
Rarity: She looks fabulous! I specially love the thigh highs you gave her. She appears to be around the same height as AJ, which I like, and I'd make her hair longer, not as much as Fluttershy's, but enough to make her lower curl fall in front of her instead of just staying on top of her shoulder.
These are great humanizations anyways, hope to see it colored

Finally, somepony who doesn't draw human Fluttershy with a massive rack but with a petite frame instead! It gets a little tiring after seeing human Fluttershy with massive assets about a million times. Thank you for this much needed change of pace.

dash's arm does not read well at all. you've got it looking like an arm viewed from behind rather than the side and the lower arm is much too thick compared to the size of her upper arm. I'd think of running the designs for twi and AJ through the drawing board once or twice again, something about them feels awkward but it's hard to place. all that aside these are fantastic. rarity and fluttershy are nigh-on perfect adaptations to both humans AND your style and I look forward to seeing what, if anything you do with huanized ponies in the future. big fan of your work, keep it up!

Don't worry; great lineart like this is wonderful, and without the colors it forces the viewer to look closer.

Pinkie could maybe look a bit older as a human; she's immature, but I don't think she's any younger than the others (aside from Fluttershy, who I'd say is the eldest of any of them). Her irritating Twilight definitely seems right, though. The only thing that could make it more amusing is if she were annoying Twilight and Dash at the same time, lol.

Why do so many people hate humanized ponies?
It's not gross, it's just a different take on the character. This is good stuff, but these things get treated with the same attitude as clopcrap.
Also, DAT APPLEJACK MAN FACE

Cool, you captured their personalities very well.

A miserable pile of friendship, of course.
These are amazing, though I'm actually surprised of how much a difference you made between Applejack and Rainbowdash's builds. Both their characters convey what they should but the contrast is still pretty shocking.

Very well done. You managed to embed a sense of each character's personality across in the manner you drew them in, maintaining a cartoony style that is still easily identifiable as yours.
The only criticism I can offer regards Rainbow Dash: Compared to the rest of the cast, she seems to be drawn smaller (both in terms of height and in terms of build) and with a more angular build. While I suppose that an argument could be made for both of those being stylistic choices based on her personality, the former doesn't seem to work in my opinion (for a point of comparison to understand what I mean by her being "smaller", look at the size of each character's legs: Hers are the smallest by a huge margin, the rest of the cast has about the same width). The angular design might work better if she were drawn on a scale closer to the rest of the cast, it's difficult to judge, but it certainly stands out as being different from the rest of the cast. That could be a good thing, if played off right, but seems a bit off, here.
All of that said, it's a very well done piece. Just trying to offer a bit of criticism as a jumping off point for you.

Yeah, I see what you mean. I meant for her and Pinkie to come off as being the youngest in the group, but unfortunately I went overboard and made them a bit too young which might be why RD is so short. I mean, I meant for her to be short, but not quite that short. And I'm not sure why her legs are so thin. I'm probably gonna give Dash a bit more muscle next time.
Anyway, this is all works in progress so I'm still trying to figure out what works and what doesn't, so thanks a lot. I'll see if I can get more stylistic consistency between the characters as well.
