MLP FiM Redesigns

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic redesign challenge - difficulty: maximum. Redesigning all ponies from the Show, Comics, and Mobile Games (excluding mobile exclusive variants and comic ponies based on real people)

[everf-redesign]

Hello and welcome to Everfree Designs - aka Everf-redesign. I'm crossposting fro Instagram, recording my journey to redesign every single MLP FIM character.

ARCHIVE

Every day I spin a wheel to determine what character type (unicorn, kirin, pegasus, other, etc) and then go to the next character alphabetically in the list!

You are free to use these designs however you'd like with proper credit, if you want to make comics / animations / etc. If you do, please link me to them, I'd love to see what you create <3

Hey all, I know I haven't posted on here in a while, but I'm in a bit of a tight spot and need to come up with ~ $200 in order to finish paying off my class fees for this semester within five weeks before I graduate.

I am currently doing PWYW Commissions to try and help get this money, please shoot me a dm if you're interested I can do ponies (see @everf-redesign for my examples there), humanoids, ferals, pretty much whatever I'm willing to give it a shot. Only line I draw is no NSFW.

Shoot me a dm with any questions.

If you're a streamer I also have some things open on VGen you may be interested in, including custom chat overlay widgets.

Apple Polish!

(*pokes my head up from the void*)

Has it been too long to have a nice dramatic return?

What's sad is I actually had her and a few others done before I vanished off the face of the earth because summer work got too insane I just forgot to upload them hhjkadhfjka

So there's gonna be a few others before I switch to a bit more of a structured system, since the rolling and recording all that for instagram was getting to be a bit much, so now I'm just going one list down the line and will be starting with earth ponies ^^'''' Anyways!! Housekeeping over with, this is Apple Polish!

I love the idea that Twilight took one look at this studious pony from halfway across the Canterlot Public Library and said "yes that haircut is everything I aspire to be"

I'd also like to think that Apple Polish is (distantly) related to the Apple Family, perhaps a cousin several times removed. Maybe through the Orange's branch?

Pink Friendship Flutter!

Sorry it's been so long guys, life's been insane and I haven't had time to draw in a hot minute outside of artfight (team stardust: @/jaymedraws overthere) but!

We've got another breezie :D This one is the creatively named Pink Friendship Flutter, and they're probably a menace /affectionate

If you've any name ideas for em let me know, otherwise I'll see y'all whenever I next do ^w^

Big Shot!

A pegasus photographer, Big Shot lives somewhere between Cloudsdale and Ponyville, he's got a set of specially enchanted cameras that can withstand high flying speeds and MOST weather conditions!

He once made the mistake of bringing his camera to that tornado thing that they do every so often and man that was a mistake. His camera supplypony was NOT happy at the amount of equipment he needed replaced in short notice.

I mean their wallet was happy but...

Big shot is kiiinda a goof, hes got surfer boy meets golden retriever energies, but he's a real sweet guy and likes helpin out where he can :3

[everf-redesign]

Cletus!

Correct me if im wrong, but I do believe this is the only mule in the entire series. Mules are horse x donkey....WHY DID HE LOOK SO PREDOMINANTLY DONKEY??

And for that matter, why are donkeys and kirin the only pony-types without cutie marks? Like, Kirin you can make an argument for with the whole dragon thing. But the donkeys?? They 1000% should have cutie marks. And so should Cletus.

We see him near the apple farm if im remembering correctly, so I've given him an agricultural type cutie mark, he probably keeps to himself a lot, but he loves both sides of his family. Whoever they are 😂

[everf-redesign]

Burnt Umber Kirin!

I've been calling this one Rowan Crackle, and I'd like to think she works as like, a kirin librarian or something. Either librarian or cafe owner.

She's very gentle and shy, tending to keep to herself.

[everf-redesign]

I like that when you give a name to an unnamed Kirin, you follow the canon naming conventions for the species. Not everyone does that so I appreciate that you do

thank you <3 I'm trying to keep to naming conventions where I can, my biggest exception has been the Breezies but there's also like only two canon-named breezies so it gets hard hhjkhasdkjfhdsafjkdsa

Admiral Fairy Flight!

Another Wonderbolt of days gone by, this guy came from an era when they needed to protect themselves. Those leggings are made of a reinforced fabric, similar to our kevlar. Same as the neckpiece, which is also used to display rank.

During this time, all Wonderbolts got an earring of the insignia. Fairy's is actually the second one he's gotten, his original having been ripped off in combat.

Mirror Chrysalis

In the world through the Mirror, Queen Chrysalis embodies the Element of Love <3

This world's Changelings haven't spent generations constantly starved, and their manes are extra fluffy to reflect it. They don't have tail barbs, instead their tails are more similar to their Pony counterparts. Their wings are also more gentle, akin to a butterfly's rather than a beetle, and their fangs are much smaller.

This Queen Chrysalis is every bit the loving ruler that Princess Cadence is in canon. In fact, due to King Sombra's rule over Equestria, it is Queen Chrysalis who was chosen to help guide the Crystal Empire when it returned from its thousand year banishment after the scholars to the north tried some...forbidden magic to get rid of the howling snow and windigos that had settled there, after Equestria's love shone too bright for the creatures.

Chrsyalis and her Changelings brought the Empire love and after a bit of time, the Crystal Ponies returned that love so fiercely, that the Crystal Heart magically bound itself to Chrsyalis, joining the other crystals in her flank.

Chrysalis radiates love, changelings around her are full to near-bursting, and even ponies gain a bit of magic back by being in her presence.

Aurora!

Another reindeer from that one special, Aurora definitely is able to channel some pretty powerful magic through her antlers. I'd like to think she's a direct descendant of whoever is the Santa equivalent in the mlp universe, and shes just that kind old grandma that always has hard candies on her even though you know they stopped selling those years ago.

Yellow Friendship Flutter!

We've finally gotten to another breezie, and yeah this one looks a lot less like "Tsunami from WoF but make her a bug" lmaooooo

I dont have any other names for this one, so if you've got any suggestions feel free to let me know :D There's a LOT of friendship flutters that will need named so dont be shy, there's a good chance I might use a name later if I dont use it for this one. EDIT: This Breezie has been named Warbler by sm0lcatfish <3

[everf-redesign]

Bulky Changeling!

Our first look at a Starving changeling in my style / universe, and they're very similar to their Healthy counterparts.

Their tail barbs are more prominent, and their colors are severely dulled. They also tend to lose crystals, and the process of losing and regrowing them are very painful. However, many of the younger generation are being born with more and more of these crystals, as they are surrounded by love while still in the egg.

[everf-redesign]

Admiral Fairweather!

Pegasi fashion in the show has always bothered me. These guys fly, have whole civilizations above the clouds, an entire group based on speed and possibly fighting, and they wear thick clothes that will only cause wind resistance and probably get snagged in things while they're flying? Yeah so the Wonderbolt fashion is getting a revamp. The signature of the wonderbolts is dying some of their wing feathers. in Fairweather's era, they wore bootes with long yellow "wings", as well as an arm band.

[everf-redesign]

Big Bell!

The widely believed to be Buff Biceps Mother pony!

I....really HATE the body type for Buff Biceps and Big Bell. You're telling me these grown adults with itty tiny wings the same size as a child can fly but the child cant?

So yeah while Big Bell's wings here are a biiiit smaller than they should be for her size, she's still got full sized wings.

I also didn't make her as buff as she should have been but drawing buff ponies is...hard. Especially since most of the muscles in the design are in the upper body. So yeah xP

Not one of my better designs but its aight.

Mirror Universe Celestia!

Ok before you ask...NO. this is NOT my Daybreaker design. This is Princess Celestia if she turned evil. Except instead of taking a maleficent inspiration, she leans into the theming of the sun.

Her mane and tail aren't actually fire, this Celestia hasn't had enough exposure to using magical artifacts for her mane to flow, it's completely still.

She wears fiery leggings that are red in order to more easily disguise bloodstains (you can't tell me mirror universe celestia and luna haven't killed anyone ever)

This Celestia became an Alicorn through similar means, but instead of offering their aid to the unicorn council, they overthrew it, slaughtering the mages once they realized they could control the celestial bodies by themselves.

Mirror Celestia and Luna (as well as Cadence) have jagged feathers and rough wings. They don't often preen, usually only doing the task when they can't fly anymore. She wears a crown to show that she already views herself as queen, even though King Sombra still reigns. She has a ring on her horn that acts as a minor focus, the gem dangling over her forehead keeping her from burning herself alive whenever she shoots streams of the sun's flame from it.

The chest piece hosts a similar magical artifact, though this one strengthens her and basically allows her to push her magic far past its normal boundaries. The consequences always hit her later, but she considers it worth it in order to appear strong.
