aaaaa this took so long, but it's finally done 😭 here's some art of mane 6 with their families. If you haven't seen my first redesign for the Mane 6, click me!
Keep reading below for design notes! (most of them are very small tweaks to get the palettes to look close to the Mane 6 hahaha)
OK! starting off with twilight's family, I tried to keep her parents' colors close with her own colors, I took both twilight's and shining's colors to match along with their mom and dad. I think Night Light is the most noticeably different of all the parents so far??
shining's colors are quite good but I guess I make it a point to give some siblings matching coat patterns to relate them to each other haha
also I had to add spike. He is apart of the family after all <3
For Rarity's family, I really took a lot of creative liberties haha
I kept Sweetie Belle's colors quite similar but yeah, tweaked it to match more in her sister's color scheme and gave her shared coat patterns with Rarity.
Rarity's parents also underwent some tweaks HAHA (i swear, every time I give the mlp character a unique coat pattern, they turn out looking so different but good??)
Fluttershy's family still looks relatively the same just with a few tweaks to the colors. (Fluttershy definitely gets her soft wings from her mom hehe)
I gave Zephyr a tattoo which I imagine he got in his youth while figuring himself out, thought it would complement his 'surfer?? chill bro' character
Also, fun detail: the tips of Fluttershy and Zephyr's wings compliment/relate back to each other which I think is really neat
Rainbow's family is quite self-explanatory, not a whole lot of difference HAHA
I think I let myself have a little bit of fun when redesigning the Apples. Idk why I thought it'd be interesting to add a bit of green to Pear Butter but ye??
I also kept Pear Butter as having a more petite frame as my personal handcanon is that while she did do farm work, she mostly did the less intensive work like watering the crops or something ahaha
neat detail: Applebloom inherited her eye color from granny smith, thought it'd be interesting to link them together
And last but not least, the Pie familyyy
As Pinkie and Marble are twins, I modelled Marble directly off Pinkie's desaturated form but gave her a longer mane. Other then that, I tried making them look as similar as possible
It's not very noticeable but I also gave Pinkie's dad a bit more pink in his colour scheme to show where she could've gotten her pink genes from. (I want to believe that in the past Igneous Rock had a pink mane before it turned grey from age)
also out of topic but I have this personal headcanon that the pie sisters are actually quadruplets with pinkie being the only one out of the 4 having her recessive pink gene, thought it would be fun to share.
Anyway, congrats on making it to the end! Thanks for reading all my design notes :’D I’ll definitely be drawing more. (next I'm gonna try to draw the secondary characters and hopefully not take too long to get it done-)
There has been an incredible amount of MLP art on my Instagram, specifically the redesign of a bunch of characters.
After talking to a few of my friends I decided to give it a shot, so here are the 6 protagonists!
Disclaimer: I have never watched this show, all I know about it comes from second-hand information I've gotten from my friends plus a few things that I've looked up myself
Additional info: Pinkie Pie is blind in her blue eye, Twilight's magic doesn't work until she makes friends with the other protagonists, and Rainbow Dash has a much bigger family, but more on that another time
Cadence and Shining Armor
Bad girlies
Villains
The kids
Sombra & Radiant Hope
The Princesses Sisters

(( side note on marie, if you're wondering Who The Fuck Is That : it's a remake of that fuckass silica girl from canon that we popped out in my fwiends server . LMAO!! ))
I just realized I never released this and I’m probably making everyone sick and tired but I’m gonna post it anyways! Here’s the final lineup of my Sirenix redesign and the final FINAL designs
