I changed Twilight quite a lot for this design, but she’s not by any means the most drastic of all of my mane six redesigns! You can see the rest Here!
Design notes and comparisons under cut:
-added my AU/headcannon pony variety traits (as a former unicorn, Twilight has cloven hooves, long ‘lion’ tail and a cute goat nose)
-her wings are based on hummingbird wings, to match her somewhat anxious+frenetic personality that I loved in the early seasons of g4
-I like to imagine that for a unicorn, a pronged/forked horn is an indication of magical strength or an unusual ability! Her horn has one fork now, but I imagine her fully formed alicorn self would have more.
-her cutie mark has been updated to reflect her friends and their importance to her life :3 the six colored stars surrounding hers stand for the other 5 in the mane 6 and Spike!
-her colors are different because. I like them…
-I realized after I finalized my lineart that I kinda gave her the silhouette of a classic poodle cut LOL- I guess it’s kind of suitable for her personality in a strange way, although if I thought about it more I might have given it to Rarity instead.
Since my lineup also serves as a height chart- Twi is the third shortest and just barely shorter than Rainbow Dash. She likes to say rainbow is cheating cause her hooves are never on the ground long enough to get a proper measurement. Twi wins for posture anyways lol
My newest mlp oc !!!! I love him so much, he’s my special boy.
Technically I suppose he’s a nextgen? Son of Princess Celestia :3 his name is yet to be determined (cause I’m bad at names) BUT my current name selections and lore are under the cut! For now I call him Laurie.
-Gilded/Golden Laurels (from the golden laurel crowns associated with triumph)
-Regal Relief (a double meaning, both because of his meaning to Celestia and the term ‘relief’ from statuary)
-Limestone Light (rock pun, also from “to be in the limelight”) (actually this would be a silly name for a pie family nextgen… saving this for later)
-Moonlight Laurel/ Moonlit Marble (tributes to Luna)
He was created soon after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, when Celestia’s loneliness and isolation overwhelmed her and she used her magic to shape a chunk of marble and bring the carving to life. He was half an accident, half intended- Celestia wasn’t exactly in the headspace to be a mother and she knew that, but she was also lonely enough that she didn’t really mind when her carving came alive in her arms as a little foal. Overtime she started to see him as a sort of second chance- a do over for what she lost when Luna “vanished” into Nightmare Moon. In her paranoia after the event she kept her new son quite isolated and sheltered, something she later vows to ‘redeem’ herself for with her mentorship of one Twilight Sparkle.
Laurie is, mostly, a normal unicorn pony! His magic is strong, but not as strong as one would expect from the son of The Sun. He’s quiet, mild mannered, extremely timid, and a bit strange to talk to (as he tends to use outdated language and slang). This is because he’s about 1000 years old. When he began growing up at a usual pony rate despite being created from marble, Celestia panicked and cast a spell on him that slowed his aging (physical and mental) to a crawl. His age seems to be approximately equivalent to the Mane 6 in current AU time! Most of the early events of g4 are the same in my head. Luna is back now, and she and Laurie actually get along quite well! He wears the moons on his bridle and boots as tribute to her.
Another odd thing about him is the patch of feathers on his back- when Celestia sculpted him, she was thinking mostly of Luna. The carving was originally an alicorn, like her. However; when she unconsciously animated him his wings disappeared and left only the feathers. In my AU alicorn status can only be earned, not inherited or created! I’ll deal with the flurry heart situation later…
He doesn’t have a cutie mark because he never really got a chance to explore the world or himself until g4 comes along. He doesn’t even know if he can earn one with his unique circumstances, and resents his mother for it a little… Sometimes he might wonder if she created him without one on purpose, although he always feels guilty for thinking it later.
“The medieval warrior, realizing the consequences of his impulsive act, immediately approached the owner of the drone and offered to pay for the damage.
The owner of the drone was so impressed by the brilliant attack that he suggested organizing a competition for bringing down “dragons” with short spears next year.
Drone owners have another year to develop a unique “dragon-like” design for their flying machines.” (x)
I am 100% cooler with this knowing that the spear-thrower realized “oops maybe I shouldn’t have done that” and tried to make it right, and that the guy who the drone belonged to was cool with it
I love Goat and I think it has some of the best designs in anything in a LONG time and Jett is of course so iconic and has so much going for her visually,,, and is highkey such an important design in general but GOD where is her fifth finger. Where is it. Where is it i can't stop looking at how she only has 4 fingers per paw WHERE IS IT
cat painting circa jan 2026, first thingy of the new year! been kinda dead on tumblr but I'm hoping I have in it me to share some more art this year.
.
.
.
It started as a sketch and then I just ended up gradually painting over it and committed. been getting into doing more things in greyscale, since it’s been helping my brain a lot with beginning to really understand value in a way that’s more tangible for me. I never did a lot of cat related art until more recent times when I wanted to better learn feline anatomy, they are just really fun to draw and paint ^^
x posting from my instagram by the same handle, it has more process pictures if you'd like to check them out.
