Description Originally posted January 1st, 2014

I redid the poster for Knightshade and the Shadowettes and actually included the background horses in his band for it. 
I updated the design of the band mates because their original design looks kind of deformed and ugly to me. That's how background ponies used to be drawn in the 80's, haha. I updated them to a fourth generation MLP kind of look, keeping their original colors as best I could manage from the images I had of his bandmates. His bandmates are based on the Saddle Arabian look since they looked different from the normal little ponies in the original show, so I decided to update them appropriately by making them foreign ponies in this update. Their markings and hairstyles are just like the original.

Knightshade and the Shadowettes are from the Bright Lights episodes of Generation 1 (My Little Pony and Friends)

Here is an image of the original band:  mylittlewiki.org/w/images/thum…

Thanks--me too! Haha!

Bright Lights was my favorite as a kid. I must have rewatched it so many times. Years later I realize the whole thing was a thinly veiled story about selling your soul to the devil for fame and glory, and the price it has. Even Knightshade's own mother had hers taken as a result of his deal he made. Shadows were basically the outward representation of souls. I don't know why people look down on the first generation honestly, it was pretty metal.

It was awesome. I'm pretty sure the series as a whole influenced my future tastes. I am a fan of cute things and the horror genre, and I don't like anything that patronizes its audience by talking down to it.
