just here to announce that i have officially started working on the part 2 to this video!! go follow my instagram if you want updates on the vid: instagram.com/jouusta?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D& (the work has been delayed but it will be made in the next few months ahhhh!! im workin on it!!)
the show were made to attract kids, i suggest brighter/pastel color pallets and to reduce the realism of the outfits a bit, to "cheerfully describe the characters" rather than "realistically describe the characters". one key word: "For Kids"
@@silman4101well, as she said this is modern, the Show was pretty Old I think, not to sure. But if you look outside, u can see, that no one wears bright clothes so I think the drawning r fine
i love Fluttershy's design because as you explained, it makes her feel closed, and to me that makes me feel like she'd fidget with her clothes whenever she got in a social situation
Fun fact!! In the flashbacks (in the original FIM series) fluttershy was very skinny as a child, as opposed to the other kids who were more short and stocky like your average small pony. I'm doing redesigns so that was my reasoning for making her skinny lol Also I haven't finished the video but I love them all so far!!
She's also the oldest of the mane six! (I forget where I figured that out but I know that it is canon) Edit: I just remembered that in an episode Pinkie does say that Fluttershy is one year older than her, also in the flashback to when they were kids she just looks way older than the rest of them. Idk, she has a similar model to the two pegasus bullies (I forget their names) and they are said to be older? Again idk, all I know is that Fluttershy is the oldest (and rainbow dash is probably? the youngest, I think, idk)
me personally i think fluttershy is into the more fashionable side of clothing because in that one mlp episode she did critique rarity's stitching choices and rarity actually asked her to work at her boutique because she was super knowledgeable about fashion and recommendations i honestly think the only problems she might have had were confidence and self esteem issues, otherwise she did like the uh more stylish type of clothing buttt this is just my opinion and u can do whatever you want with ur art sooo..yeah
I get where you’re coming from but in my experience i think her outfit works. I worked in fashion and at first I dressed very comfortably and sloppily. I was insecure with my body and didn’t know how to dress myself. Over time I became more familiar with how clothes looked on people who looked like me and began to copy outfits I’d see our customers wear. By the end of my time in the industry I became much more put together and stylish. That didn’t mean I didn’t know what looked good and what looked like trash when I first started I just couldn’t apply it to myself because I was biased against my reflection. I feel like fluttershy (based on the artist’s description of her I’m not a mlp fan) might have to go through the same process.
Considering that Fluttershy and Rarity seem to be closer friends with each other, it might just be looking into a friend's interests, whether to understand them better or another reason, hence why she could explain some issues with the dress and yet be fine with the version with only her input(kind of like an art history/appreciation student and art student, one could explain the details that make up a good piece of art while the other could create a piece that expresses it)
I wonder why, out of all things, they decided that the design through line between all of the main girls was going to be those skirts. Like I get giving all of them sort of similar hair lengths as humans, you want the hair to be brush-able on the dolls but....why those skirts. The shoes also strike me as a little odd, even thought I think them all having large shoes with visual elements starting at the knee is supposed to make them look more like horse legs and hooves but it's just such a weird choice.
i agree w all of this 😭😭 the skirts and boots were literally the reason i decided not redesign the characters with the equestria girls design rules… its way too limiting to give every mane 6 character those and just doesn’t work with most of them!
i think the sole reason why EG clothings, body types, and skin colors are bright, colorful, and simple, is so they could easily translate the designs into toys and dolls which made them look very odd haha
As a pakistani, im super grateful of the fact you included us! most of the times people just say the character's design is indian (which is perfectly fine) tho seeing someone include pakistanis just feels nice!
Bro literally every Fluttershy redesign is better than the original. Like, who at Hasbro decided that she'd show the most skin when shy people usually don't like being seen?? Edit: First of all, thank you all for the likes! Second, I would just like to thank you all for your opinions of this matter in the replies. This comment was written from my point of view, and it was refreshing to see all of your thoughts!
I think it depends on the shy person and certain scenes fluttershy came off not shy even in pony form she was more %70 or %75 shy and bold for the rest. I like that the show had fashion and I also would like if the show gave them more outfits. I'm a very shy person I just like fashion like rarity
In designing it is more important to give off the vibe of the character the original design does not do that and most shy people like covering up so her design makes more sense than the original
Remember when Twilight was a librarian and kept records of the history of Equestria? My take is that she’s taking History cause she hopes to become a historian but also takes Astronomy because she’s been always interested in the stars thanks to Celestia and Luna(mostly for Luna on her part though)
Well, I think in the Sprink Break special Sci-Twi was excited by the idea of being in another dimension, I think that says something (Sci-Twi in the pony world was just unicorn Twilight with glasses)
i’m getting offended as an astronomy nerd ASTROLOGY AINT SCIENCE PLSSSS ITS ASTRONOMYYYY (btw this is mostly a joke but pls guys astrology is the fake zodiac stuff Astronomy is actual science)
small rant going off of your twilight headcanons I feel like after the whiplash of being put in this entirely different world and finding out magic isn’t a thing like it is in her world, she’d DEFINITELY go to some kind of science degree like astronomy, quantum physics anything to help her learn more about how this world without magic even survives lmao. sorry for the small text dumb but idk I wanted to share it. I LOVE your designs you perfectly captured the essence of each character!!
A general knowledge of the world feels like something she'd already know of her world, hence why Starlight and Sunset could better apply some specifics in their spellwrighting process(as neither went to a school the whole time, Twilight being a part of someyhing prestigious feels like she'd be aware of a lot of things, kind of like scholars during the Renaissance with humanism) By all means, she'd probably be curious of the intricacies to differentiate both worlds, but be too busy in other matters to pursue them much farther than what Sci-Twi or Sunset could send over
A bit split on this, so if you'd be okay with doing so, could you explain it? Diversity can defintely be good, but given culture ends up being a big part of one's life, unless there's an implentation of that or generally effects from that aspect of nurture, it feels just as underwhelming as the rise in female protagonists for the sake of empowerment, but not providing the character development or depth that would make it work far better
I love how the fandom almost universally agreed Pinkie Pie was Black. 😂💛 Some exceptions, of course, but most human art I see with her, even during the early seasons of the cartoon, has her look afro-centric.
I like to think Fluttershy would be the type to wear Light Academia styled clothing, thrifty clothing, and cottage core dresses when on picnics. More so when going to school, I believe long, comfy sweaters are what she wears with leggings and normal shoes, cardigans too.
The mane 6 are absolutely POC. Gorgeous designs and fantastic fashion. Thank you for this gift. I have to say though, Fluttershy and Rarity actually bonded over fashion so while Fluttershy is definitely the type to prioritize comfort I think she is definitely still someone who puts effort into how she looks and actually meticulously styles and accessorizes her outfits.
First of all, never thought of the connection like that, so thank you for the different perspective, though personally don't see it as a common hobby/interest. Honestly, while maybe biased considering I try to do the same thing, it feels closer to looking into the hobbies or interests of others to better understand them or something similar(explaining why she could explain issues with her dress, but couldn't design one herself, like art history student to an art student). There is the comic story showing a interest in sewing for Fluttershy, but there it seems closer to as an art medium with a message behind it, mainly expression(fashion can have these ideas, too, but it also usually considers/requires appeal, unlike art, in that even if not for the public, a model will still probably wear it).
fluttershy has a sort of mori kei look and i think that’s very fitting for her (ik it wasn’t intentional but ‘cottagecore’ is basically just a watered down and westernized take on mori kei)
I love the pinky pie design, however I thing it would've been cute to have her cutie mark (the balloons) as keychains as well. I think she'd cover her face in stickers so having star sticker around her face to look like freckles would've been a cute touch!!
I absolutely love these designs !!! Fluttershy looks so comfy !!! I can’t wait to see the other three :D I love how Fluttershy has the raptor hands and Pinkie Pie is flapping her hands it’s so cute I can’t wait to see the other three !!! Rainbow Dash’s design always made me mad as a kid. Cause like she’s supposed to be the tomboy one yet she still wore a skirt and everything. Obviously that was my opinion on it as a kid, but I still don’t think her design represents her very well lol
twilights design is cute but what bugs me honestly is that she doesn't NEED glasses. as someone who wears glasses, when i watched mlp, i was happy that they showed a smart character who didn't have glasses. perpetuating the stereotype that people who wear glasses are always nerdy and smart, if you will. anyway, i loved ur other redesigns and twilights was basically exactly as i imagined her besides that. tldr idk if she needs glasses
OKAY SO, ik I don't really talk about this much but when you brought up mlp, I was like: HELL YES. so you know rainbow dash cosplayers? well personally they only kinda dress in like a scenecore fashion design with like neon rainbow everywhere but personally i thought in my mind that what if rainbow dash dressed like adam sandler? like big oversized t-shirts and jorts and stinky unwashed nikes that look ancient. LIKE IF SHE WAS REAL SHE WOULD SO DO THAT thank you for listening to my ted talk ^^
Now I head canon that she started off as this rainbow scene kid in the first 3 years of highschool to show off how cool and rebellious she is but in her last year she realised how exhausted it is and that she doesn't care anymore bcs... ShE's CoOl AnYwAy 😜. Now she just dresses like that only for the band's concerts.
Good to know im not the only one to give Twilight glasses in an mlp redesign. The difference is i redesigned the ponies themselves. Amazing redesigns. The only knack I have for Equestria Girls is the fact that they have huge heads for some reason.
Twilight gives me ‘studies astrology and science but has an interest in paganism.’ She probably doesnt believe it, but thinks it’s interesting. She seems like the type to want to learn about everything, even if it’s not logical on her end
absolutely LOVED how you re-designed Fluttershy. She was and still is my favorite too so seeing this made me so happy! The only critique I have is that I imagined Fluttershy to have the iconic cottage-core, flowy and gentle dress with a big lengthy cardigan over, to show both her gentleness and love for nature that cottage-core is known for but also give her that modesty and shyness with the cardigan covering it. She just always had this "early spring" vibe to her with the sweetness of the season but also still being chilly and recovering from the winter season, at least to me LOL. Also for some reason I always imagined her with crystals and a thrifted totebag with pins of her favorite metal bands as it's actually canon in Equestria Girls that she's a metal-head PFFF- WHICH I LOVE!! soft cottage girl with a secret love for metal? absolutely yes HA- SORRY SORRY I'M RAMBLING NOW other than that, absolutely loved this interpretation of human Fluttershy! I actually love all of these designs and the diversity you have between them! I can't wait to see the other 3 and YES PLEASEEEEE DO DISCORD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH LOL no pressure tho 😭)
In my headcanons Fluttershy always has really pale skin, A LOT of freckles and she would most likely have natural red hair which she dyes slightly pink so now it’s more of a bronze-copper colour. Love your revising though!
I love how you mentioned you made Fluttershy Pakistani! I'm pakistani and I honestly related a lot to fluttershy + twilight so It always brings me so much joy seeing poeple canon them often as brown!
I think Twilight studying science makes sense based off how the series portrays magic; I also like the idea of people who very niche academic fields of interest that look at times where people praticed magic like a medievalist etc.
God the amount of nostalgia I got from this video. I've grown out of mpl now but I remember absolutely loving the show. I forgot her name but the diamond one was my fave. Also the designs are so pretty and cute!
All these designs are amazing! PInkie Pie's design makes me so happy. My inner child/teen is screaming bc she, like, looks like ME! The body type, the skin color/race, Curly pink hair😍🥰 I also was super into decora when I was younger, so I'm just elated 💕💕💕
personally i think fluttershy’s palette is perfect given her palette from the original show and her overall vibe, but since i love the earthy colors, i do like your redraw of her. and rarity’s original outfit, imo, was perfect! the best one besides applejack. she had that perfect “high school preppy new money” look. and applejack…she’s just applejack, it was perfect for her, i have nothing to say abt it lol. i do think hasbro should’ve given her a cardigan, idk what they were thinking, shy girls always look good in cardigans. the argyle pattern is on twi’s leg warmers, not boots. at least, i’m pretty sure those aren’t boots. it wouldn’t make sense, especially bc they look like two separate clothing items. but i absolutely ADORE what you did with her design. pinkiepies’s…i think there should’ve been a really cutesy dress with a really fluffy petticoat and fluffy pigtails. she gives very youthful, sweet, slightly irresponsible teacher assistant vibes-like she works with kids bc of how childish she is.
HI JO!!! LOVE THE NEW VIDEO AND THE DESIGNS!! they’re so creative! also, i can relate to the g4 mlp collecting obsession… i was DETERMINED on collecting all of those blind bag ponies when i was 7-9 💀
I have an idea for pinkie- she could have had some colourful bandaids on her body because she seems like the type to be a little TOO excited and accidentally hurts herself somehow. Also the bandaids would also add to the decora theme because its a very common accessory.
I love all of these designs! Fun fact: Human Twilight actually does have a pony version! during the curise ship special, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer all fall in a new portal back into the pony world. As it turns out, human twilight is just a unicorn!
pinkie is black as a human for me because her textured hair and i think it looks right idk, also sometimes when i’ve drawn the ponies as humans basically what you did i give flutter shy a hijab 1 of the reasons being i’ve seen a lot of hijabs that shade of pink and also i think it suits the flowy texture of her hair and bc i feel like she would definitely feel more comfortable covered up! just something i do
i'd love to see you other ideas for the other redesigns!! fluttershy is so cute!! pinkiepie is chaotic as always! twilight as smart looking as always! They're all so good! can't wait for the others!
I adore your pinkie design personally headcanon her as black or biracial with one side being black but everything from the pastels and outfit was so cool.
Not even 20 seconds into the video and just the opening flashback is reminiscent (at least to me) of the ones GingaNinja 0w0 does on their channel! I recognized it immediately and it made me smile! Also, the Fluttershy redesign is GORGEOUS!
18:00 There is a song about Rarity making dresses for the main 6 to wear for gala but because it wasn't really their taste Rarity had to remake them but with the main 6's idea. In the song Twilight Sparkles wanted constellation on her dress so I'm gonna assume she studies astronomy.
Pinkie's stimming!! Aagghhh!!!! IT'S ADORABLE!!! AND HER PALMMSSS!!!! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE ITTTT!!! All these designs are AMAZING!! and I really can't choose!!
I see Twighlight as a geek, huge fan of Star Wars, TLotR, MCU/DC and DnD, but, like, she will talk about it only when she suspects that you may be a fellow geek so she puts some references to her favorite franchises and observes if you get 'em or not. I have a similar headcanon for Hermione Granger btw. Gotta love geek girls and I feel like Dashy'd get some of her references but they mostly share music interests and read comics together. oh, and Dash'd be a Guitar Hero and DMC fan.
oh i love the cutie mark on the bag for twilight! it's such a good placement imo. clever & better than the canon putting all the background character's marks straight up on their shirts front and center 😭 it does seem very cute and fitting for pinky tho. god i want that shirt irl 🙈 all in all, big fan of all these designs! ty for sharing :)
Incoming rant(?): I binged the entirety of FIM last summer and when revisiting it, I came to discover that I did *not* like how pretty much all of the female characters kind of seemed way too similar (or static) in regards to character design (i.e. the knee-high shoes and thigh-length skirts). I will cut them some slack since animation should be kept simple, but character design should, in some way, give the viewer some idea on their personality. I love how you were able to express their personalities, I'm still learning how to do that myself. I can't wait to see the next part!
honestly, I think twilight would study psychology, being the princess of friendship and all she prob needs to bring ppl together a lot and know abt the human brain
Omg I love flattershy too idk why twilight was my fav back in the day but oh well, some headcanons cus why not: your cottagecore fit is perfect first off all but honestly i see her as an albino and that's why she likes animals more bc she can feel them and they won't judge y'know xdd. I see rainbow dash as either scene or yes i saw that comment adam sandler vibe. I see pinkie pie as a gyaru/kawaii core girly with loads of candy elements and she would have the darkest skin and the biggest body with the most positivity obvi. For twilight i see her as whimsy goth/dark academy vibes i think she would loveee silk skirts (like princess kinda stuff to and crystals/starts like in the y2k aesthetic but make it whimsy). Also some heathers/the brown haired girl from mean girls i can't remember her name those aesthetic fits her like what you did! Also i feel like she would be asian most probably japanase or korean. Rainbow dash is for me just a diva with tons of glitter, shimmer, diamond, silk and ruffle like she wanna look expensive. She would have the highist heals, iphone and bold glam makeup. Not tied to an aesthetic but would enjoy vintage stuff more and for apple jack i see them as a nonbinary person with tan (and i see rainbow dash as genderfluid ngl) so giving him a non gender specific down to earth farmer fashion is the way too go very baggy and loose and comfy with cowboy and apple elements (boots and hats) who is confident but very chill and helpful is the way i see them and a good listener c: amazing art and designs can't wait to see more!
For me personally, I like to stick to the original shade of the characters coats as much as possible when I translate it to their skin color. It helps me feel like I'm staying true to the characters and not diverting too much.
Thank you for saying that Fluttershy isn't super cottagecore in her fashion. It always irked me that they would dim her colours when anyone else would redesign her. She's vibrant but soft and that's what I i love to see. You're my favourite redesigner because of that
Rainbow rocks is literally the better movie, I love it. The music is great, the villains have good stories, and the whole plot of someone tearing the school apart from the inside is one of my favorite twists
applejack was definitely my favourite growing up but as you did, i started appreciating flutter shy more when i was older- she’s also my go-to when i wanna dress flowey, i ask myself ‘would flutter shy wear this?’ (there’s a point to this i swear) since i was a kid i’ve known i wanted to work with animals, but i always knew i didn’t want to be a vet because i knew i’d get too sad and even though i was helping, i’d still be hurting the animals more. so i’m currently in college taking bio, chem and maths so i can go onto uni to take zoology! it made me really happy to hear you say she’d be a zoology major or something similar :) even if you don’t know me or my aspirations, it still felt good to hear that one of my favourite characters, who i take comfort in even at my age, is so similar to me. so thank you :)
Hi Jo! My headcannon for Twilight is that she would major something related to astrology, her name IS twilight afterall and she also owned a telescope back in her canterlot(?) Dorm aswell as the OG treehouse. I think she would totally geek out about constellationd and visit observatories HAHA

I love how the fandom almost universally agreed Pinkie Pie was Black. 😂💛 Some exceptions, of course, but most human art I see with her, even during the early seasons of the cartoon, has her look afro-centric.

I also love the skin tone you used for you used for your pinkie pie it makes her overall outfit pop ! The sprinkles are everything ❤
I absolutely ADORE fluttershy’s design! And her accurate human lore. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ also the patterns on the skirt are soooo well done ❤

There is the comic story showing a interest in sewing for Fluttershy, but there it seems closer to as an art medium with a message behind it, mainly expression(fashion can have these ideas, too, but it also usually considers/requires appeal, unlike art, in that even if not for the public, a model will still probably wear it).
fluttershy has a sort of mori kei look and i think that’s very fitting for her (ik it wasn’t intentional but ‘cottagecore’ is basically just a watered down and westernized take on mori kei)
I love the pinky pie design, however I thing it would've been cute to have her cutie mark (the balloons) as keychains as well. I think she'd cover her face in stickers so having star sticker around her face to look like freckles would've been a cute touch!!
the chokehold rainbow rocks had on me is crazy. ive seen that movie 16 times, maybe more???? the songs are so good.
I absolutely love these designs !!! Fluttershy looks so comfy !!! I can’t wait to see the other three :D
I love how Fluttershy has the raptor hands and Pinkie Pie is flapping her hands it’s so cute
I can’t wait to see the other three !!! Rainbow Dash’s design always made me mad as a kid. Cause like she’s supposed to be the tomboy one yet she still wore a skirt and everything. Obviously that was my opinion on it as a kid, but I still don’t think her design represents her very well lol
Omg crud HIIIIIIIIII! Small world huh
twilights design is cute but what bugs me honestly is that she doesn't NEED glasses. as someone who wears glasses, when i watched mlp, i was happy that they showed a smart character who didn't have glasses. perpetuating the stereotype that people who wear glasses are always nerdy and smart, if you will. anyway, i loved ur other redesigns and twilights was basically exactly as i imagined her besides that.
tldr idk if she needs glasses
OKAY SO, ik I don't really talk about this much but when you brought up mlp, I was like: HELL YES.
so you know rainbow dash cosplayers? well personally they only kinda dress in like a scenecore fashion design with like neon rainbow everywhere but personally i thought in my mind that what if rainbow dash dressed like adam sandler? like big oversized t-shirts and jorts and stinky unwashed nikes that look ancient. LIKE IF SHE WAS REAL SHE WOULD SO DO THAT
thank you for listening to my ted talk ^^
REAL
i feel like rainbow dressing like adam sandler is very much canon in my brain, i will keep that in mind when i get around to redesigning her!
@@jouusta OMG OKAY!! I LITERALLY CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOUR NEXT VIDEO ^^
YES PLEASE RAINBOW DASH DRESSED LIKE THAT PLEASE. SHES ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THAT IN MY MIND TOO !!!!!!
Now I head canon that she started off as this rainbow scene kid in the first 3 years of highschool to show off how cool and rebellious she is but in her last year she realised how exhausted it is and that she doesn't care anymore bcs... ShE's CoOl AnYwAy 😜. Now she just dresses like that only for the band's concerts.
Good to know im not the only one to give Twilight glasses in an mlp redesign. The difference is i redesigned the ponies themselves. Amazing redesigns. The only knack I have for Equestria Girls is the fact that they have huge heads for some reason.
3:27 YOU KNOW FLUTTERSHY HAD TO DO IT TO EM
Twilight gives me ‘studies astrology and science but has an interest in paganism.’ She probably doesnt believe it, but thinks it’s interesting. She seems like the type to want to learn about everything, even if it’s not logical on her end
absolutely LOVED how you re-designed Fluttershy. She was and still is my favorite too so seeing this made me so happy! The only critique I have is that I imagined Fluttershy to have the iconic cottage-core, flowy and gentle dress with a big lengthy cardigan over, to show both her gentleness and love for nature that cottage-core is known for but also give her that modesty and shyness with the cardigan covering it. She just always had this "early spring" vibe to her with the sweetness of the season but also still being chilly and recovering from the winter season, at least to me LOL. Also for some reason I always imagined her with crystals and a thrifted totebag with pins of her favorite metal bands as it's actually canon in Equestria Girls that she's a metal-head PFFF- WHICH I LOVE!! soft cottage girl with a secret love for metal? absolutely yes HA- SORRY SORRY I'M RAMBLING NOW
other than that, absolutely loved this interpretation of human Fluttershy! I actually love all of these designs and the diversity you have between them! I can't wait to see the other 3 and YES PLEASEEEEE DO DISCORD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH LOL no pressure tho 😭)
obviously pinkie wants to be decora but she gets overstimulated and overwelmed with too much acessories feeling on her, so she simplified
aaah I love this idea!! shes so real for that
In my headcanons Fluttershy always has really pale skin, A LOT of freckles and she would most likely have natural red hair which she dyes slightly pink so now it’s more of a bronze-copper colour. Love your revising though!
I love how you mentioned you made Fluttershy Pakistani! I'm pakistani and I honestly related a lot to fluttershy + twilight so It always brings me so much joy seeing poeple canon them often as brown!
I think Twilight studying science makes sense based off how the series portrays magic; I also like the idea of people who very niche academic fields of interest that look at times where people praticed magic like a medievalist etc.
when you were sketching out twilight i deadass thought you were abt to draw futaba LMAOO love your art!!
LOL i can see the similarities 😭😭 and tysm!!!
God the amount of nostalgia I got from this video. I've grown out of mpl now but I remember absolutely loving the show. I forgot her name but the diamond one was my fave. Also the designs are so pretty and cute!
All these designs are amazing! PInkie Pie's design makes me so happy.
My inner child/teen is screaming bc she, like, looks like ME! The body type, the skin color/race, Curly pink hair😍🥰 I also was super into decora when I was younger, so I'm just elated 💕💕💕
The fact that you labeled Apple Jacks design as “perfection” is amazing ^•^
10:46 Okay but I just need to say that I LOVE the drawing of Pinkie stimming with her hands x3
personally i think fluttershy’s palette is perfect given her palette from the original show and her overall vibe, but since i love the earthy colors, i do like your redraw of her. and rarity’s original outfit, imo, was perfect! the best one besides applejack. she had that perfect “high school preppy new money” look. and applejack…she’s just applejack, it was perfect for her, i have nothing to say abt it lol. i do think hasbro should’ve given her a cardigan, idk what they were thinking, shy girls always look good in cardigans.
the argyle pattern is on twi’s leg warmers, not boots. at least, i’m pretty sure those aren’t boots. it wouldn’t make sense, especially bc they look like two separate clothing items. but i absolutely ADORE what you did with her design. pinkiepies’s…i think there should’ve been a really cutesy dress with a really fluffy petticoat and fluffy pigtails. she gives very youthful, sweet, slightly irresponsible teacher assistant vibes-like she works with kids bc of how childish she is.
HI JO!!! LOVE THE NEW VIDEO AND THE DESIGNS!! they’re so creative! also, i can relate to the g4 mlp collecting obsession… i was DETERMINED on collecting all of those blind bag ponies when i was 7-9 💀
I have an idea for pinkie- she could have had some colourful bandaids on her body because she seems like the type to be a little TOO excited and accidentally hurts herself somehow. Also the bandaids would also add to the decora theme because its a very common accessory.
And your line work has improved so much as well! Sometimes sketch ping and inking digital makes things feel different ❤ yours seem so natural ❤
i love how all of them have changes but apple jack's just says perfection with little sparkles lmao
pinky is stimming💕💕
I love all of these designs!
Fun fact: Human Twilight actually does have a pony version! during the curise ship special, Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Sunset Shimmer all fall in a new portal back into the pony world. As it turns out, human twilight is just a unicorn!
pinkie is black as a human for me because her textured hair and i think it looks right idk, also sometimes when i’ve drawn the ponies as humans basically what you did i give flutter shy a hijab 1 of the reasons being i’ve seen a lot of hijabs that shade of pink and also i think it suits the flowy texture of her hair and bc i feel like she would definitely feel more comfortable covered up! just something i do
fav is the fluttershy one very much also she looks like shes wearing a binder haha nice
I don’t know why but i’m obsessed with the idea that pinkie wears dungarees and puts badges and stickers on them
13:14 FINALLY ANOTHER SHORT RAINBOW DASH TRUTHER!! i know in my heart of hearts that rainbow is an absolutely *built* 4'10" short king
I feel like fluttershy and pinkie pie would both love hello kitty!
OMG I LOVE PINKIES DESIGN SM IM GONNA CRY PINKIE AND FLUTTER SHY WERE ALWAYS MY FAV CHARACTERS❤️
JOUUSTA POST JOUUSTA POST!!!!! eeeek i’ve been so excited to watch this!
13:56 Love that Pinkie is wearing crocs! She would wear crocs every single day for everything
i'd love to see you other ideas for the other redesigns!!
fluttershy is so cute!!
pinkiepie is chaotic as always!
twilight as smart looking as always!
They're all so good! can't wait for the others!
Pinkie pie wearing crocs is everything
12:22 decora is rly expensive so it makes sense she can’t dress full decora
As a big MLP fan, seeing you redisign them made my day.
Your fluttershy's fashion would be more mori lolita/mori girl than cottage core! It really fits her and shes so cute 😭
One thing , I think about fluttershy that would make sense is her having a really light skin color
It makes me so happy that you gave fluttershy sleeve-paws in her front zoomed out view! That just chefs kiss, mm so good!
I adore your pinkie design personally headcanon her as black or biracial with one side being black but everything from the pastels and outfit was so cool.
i can relate sm with the fluttershy thing i loves rainbow dash growing up and was completely blind to how amazing fluttershy is-she’s so cute💗💗
This made me realize that I've always had a crush on Twilight lmao. AHHH I LOVE HER SHE S AAAAAAAAAAAAA
Not even 20 seconds into the video and just the opening flashback is reminiscent (at least to me) of the ones GingaNinja 0w0 does on their channel! I recognized it immediately and it made me smile! Also, the Fluttershy redesign is GORGEOUS!
18:00 There is a song about Rarity making dresses for the main 6 to wear for gala but because it wasn't really their taste Rarity had to remake them but with the main 6's idea. In the song Twilight Sparkles wanted constellation on her dress so I'm gonna assume she studies astronomy.
I remember early Twilight being into astronomy, maybe she would be studying a space related science? 🤔
love Fluttershy's design She looks like she fount a box of her grandma’s clothing and immediately became a part of wardrobe
shes definietly grandma-core
Pinkie's stimming!! Aagghhh!!!! IT'S ADORABLE!!! AND HER PALMMSSS!!!! MY HEART CAN'T TAKE ITTTT!!!
All these designs are AMAZING!! and I really can't choose!!
I really like all these designs. They capture the characters so well.
YAY!!! Can’t wait to watch this while I draw tomorrow!!!
Convinced my nephew to watch this with me!!! We LOVED it!!!
I see Twighlight as a geek, huge fan of Star Wars, TLotR, MCU/DC and DnD, but, like, she will talk about it only when she suspects that you may be a fellow geek so she puts some references to her favorite franchises and observes if you get 'em or not.
I have a similar headcanon for Hermione Granger btw. Gotta love geek girls and I feel like Dashy'd get some of her references but they mostly share music interests and read comics together. oh, and Dash'd be a Guitar Hero and DMC fan.
I collected so many of the dolls and pony toys, haha. I was obsessed as well. I love the designs, they turned out great!
i hope and pray you'll get part two done because i love your designs!
I love pinkie pie’s redesign so much!! The crocs are adorable!! 🤩🤩🥰
oh i love the cutie mark on the bag for twilight! it's such a good placement imo. clever & better than the canon putting all the background character's marks straight up on their shirts front and center 😭 it does seem very cute and fitting for pinky tho. god i want that shirt irl 🙈
all in all, big fan of all these designs! ty for sharing :)
I'd love a second part! You're so good at designing clothes, they look awesome.
Incoming rant(?):
I binged the entirety of FIM last summer and when revisiting it, I came to discover that I did *not* like how pretty much all of the female characters kind of seemed way too similar (or static) in regards to character design (i.e. the knee-high shoes and thigh-length skirts). I will cut them some slack since animation should be kept simple, but character design should, in some way, give the viewer some idea on their personality.
I love how you were able to express their personalities, I'm still learning how to do that myself. I can't wait to see the next part!
I LOVE THE DESIGNS BTW PINKIE PIE WAS MY FAV U DID JER JUSTICE🍭💗
honestly, I think twilight would study psychology, being the princess of friendship and all she prob needs to bring ppl together a lot and know abt the human brain
HRNGH I HAVE SO MUCH INSPIRATION FOR ART,,,,,, gonna try making my own redesigns of the other 3
Omg I love flattershy too idk why twilight was my fav back in the day but oh well, some headcanons cus why not: your cottagecore fit is perfect first off all but honestly i see her as an albino and that's why she likes animals more bc she can feel them and they won't judge y'know xdd. I see rainbow dash as either scene or yes i saw that comment adam sandler vibe. I see pinkie pie as a gyaru/kawaii core girly with loads of candy elements and she would have the darkest skin and the biggest body with the most positivity obvi. For twilight i see her as whimsy goth/dark academy vibes i think she would loveee silk skirts (like princess kinda stuff to and crystals/starts like in the y2k aesthetic but make it whimsy). Also some heathers/the brown haired girl from mean girls i can't remember her name those aesthetic fits her like what you did! Also i feel like she would be asian most probably japanase or korean. Rainbow dash is for me just a diva with tons of glitter, shimmer, diamond, silk and ruffle like she wanna look expensive. She would have the highist heals, iphone and bold glam makeup. Not tied to an aesthetic but would enjoy vintage stuff more and for apple jack i see them as a nonbinary person with tan (and i see rainbow dash as genderfluid ngl) so giving him a non gender specific down to earth farmer fashion is the way too go very baggy and loose and comfy with cowboy and apple elements (boots and hats) who is confident but very chill and helpful is the way i see them and a good listener c: amazing art and designs can't wait to see more!
the way you make your commentary and also the art reminds me a lot about GinjaNinjaOwO's style
For me personally, I like to stick to the original shade of the characters coats as much as possible when I translate it to their skin color. It helps me feel like I'm staying true to the characters and not diverting too much.
ANOTHER BANGER FROM EVERYONES FAVORITE RUclipsR JOUUSTA!!!!
Thank you for saying that Fluttershy isn't super cottagecore in her fashion. It always irked me that they would dim her colours when anyone else would redesign her. She's vibrant but soft and that's what I i love to see. You're my favourite redesigner because of that
Honestly I feel that Twilight would definitely have a bracelet that representing her friends [1 per friend]
Rainbow rocks is literally the better movie, I love it. The music is great, the villains have good stories, and the whole plot of someone tearing the school apart from the inside is one of my favorite twists
I think flutter shy would be a mix of cottage core and soft girl esthetic, it’s a beautiful redesign tho!!
Off topic, but ur characters hair swoopy is legendary
applejack was definitely my favourite growing up but as you did, i started appreciating flutter shy more when i was older- she’s also my go-to when i wanna dress flowey, i ask myself ‘would flutter shy wear this?’ (there’s a point to this i swear) since i was a kid i’ve known i wanted to work with animals, but i always knew i didn’t want to be a vet because i knew i’d get too sad and even though i was helping, i’d still be hurting the animals more. so i’m currently in college taking bio, chem and maths so i can go onto uni to take zoology! it made me really happy to hear you say she’d be a zoology major or something similar :) even if you don’t know me or my aspirations, it still felt good to hear that one of my favourite characters, who i take comfort in even at my age, is so similar to me. so thank you :)
Dude the whole thinking that the fixation is over to pony creaters is so real. I was watching mlpstopmotion and yum soda for YEARS
I love astrophysics from twilight but I feel like she would also be a HUGE history buff
As a Pinkie Pie real-life close representative you matched it, the vibe the everything I can so see this being her!
Hi Jo! My headcannon for Twilight is that she would major something related to astrology, her name IS twilight afterall and she also owned a telescope back in her canterlot(?) Dorm aswell as the OG treehouse. I think she would totally geek out about constellationd and visit observatories HAHA
Ahh I picked Decora for pinky too when I redesigned her❤ yours looks super cute!
Pinkie Pie was my fav in the series! Always in a good mood and her fit suits her so gooooooddd
I LOVE TWILIGHT, I love ur artstyle sm
Designs turned out really good also I love your persona
