My versions of their Equestria Girls designs (left) and the OG versions (right)
I felt like making Soarin and Thunderlane now. Soarin has his cutie mark on his tank top, while Thunderlane has his on his shirt. Soarin is looking more like a rockstar than Thunderlane.
Each has a stubble beard in different ways.
Notes down below!
Notes about Soarin:
He has tattoos of eyes and tentacles on his body. The darkness with eyes is mainly on his shoulders.
Long unkempt hair
The bandage isn't covering any scars; it's just there to keep up his hard-rock vibe.
Dragonflight's bassist
He and Thunderlane will act like the Rock Trolls just for the fun of it (yes, it's an obsession)
He is still a big pie lover
Soarin is bi with no preference
He is yet another star athlete in the Wondercolts
He is a regular gym goer
Has a stubble beard
He mainly has a tank top on, which has his Cutie Mark
Very close friends with Rainbow, Thunderlane, and Flash
He calls Flash and Thunderlane his soul brothers.
Huge goofball and thrill seeker
Soft spot for little fluffy animals
Wears bracelets on his other arm
He is a considerably laid-back guy despite his appearance.
No, he is not in love with Braeburn, but the two are indeed close since meeting in CHS when Braeburn was visiting from Appleloosa.
He and Thunderlane are both on the Wondercolts soccer, football, volleyball, and basketball team.
I used the pony colors for him.
He is not one to cry in rom-coms, unlike Thunderlane or Flash.
Notes about Thunderlane:
He is often helping out in the cafeteria, much to Rumble's dismay.
Thunderlane is a straight ally
He once had a crush on Rarity, but it passed, and he accepted that she was with Applejack
He can tap-dance, though he learned it to impress Rarity.
Dragonflight's drummer
He has a mullet and a stubble beard.
He wears a shirt with his cutie mark and a vest.
Of the three, he is the only one who hasn't gotten ear piercings or tattoos.
He and Rumble are on good terms, but they argue most of the time.
Yet another star athlete
Whenever he is not drumming or playing sports, he is often seen in the kitchen, cooking.
He and Pinkie are cooking buddies. These two will also act like a couple when they aren't. Pinkie's with Sci-Twi while Thunderlane is still looking for his soulmate.
He hates it whenever Rumble decides to interrupt practice for whatever petty reason the boy has. Rumble will also disrupt rehearsals and drag Thunderlane out.
Used Pony colors for him, though skin is switched, outline, and coat colors.
Gym goer as well
He, Flash, and Soarin are soul brothers.
He is a guy to cry to rom-coms like Flash, but unlike Soarin.
Edit #1: I decided to come here and explain why I drew them this way!
Fluttershy:
Ever seen how Flutters was drawn? Well, she is often depicted as white. And I honestly can see it because for me, she looks like a nice blonde white lady like Dawn from Total Drama if you have watched it.
Why did I choose blonde instead of light brown? I often imagined her as a blonde girl. Like, it's a stark contrast to how I drew Dash as a black lady. More on Dash later!
I always imagined her in some sort of dress that (like everyone else) had her coat colors. Like, it's a nod to the character itself.
I also decided to give her her cutie mark on her shoulder (like Pinkie's)
Like everyone else here, I consider her hair to be dyed in the color her mane is. I understand that some people may consider it her natural hair, but for me? It's not really that type of thing. I think someone else's works inspired me to believe that it's a little bit less different. We will talk about Applejack's hair being the same as her mane when I get to her next! But I really do believe that they have died their hairs. I think once I start drawing Rarity tomorrow, I will like have her hair dyed as well. Same applies to Twilight Sparkle.
Applejack:
First thing I decide to explain is her outfit. It's less like Pinkie's or Dash's and like Fluttershy's because it's based on how I see cowboys wear it. She is a cowboy (or rather a cowgirl) for me and i love that. I also had to make an outline for her hat. I do that for ears, fluffs, tails, and other stuff. Makes it easier when I draw them.
Also, I had to give her ABS because you cannot tell me that she is fucking buff! AJ has to be fucking buff in my opinion, at least! I mean, I bet Big Mac is one buff man... once I decide to draw him if I plan to!
Her invisible nose and mouth? She has them... though the artist's choice (aka my choice) was not great. Like with the rest, I based them on the outline of her skin. Like, for the black girls like Pinkie, Rainbow, and in the future, Twilight, and Rarity have those lighter outlines while for the whites like right now Applejack and Fluttershy? It's darker. And in return, I turned out to have chosen a bad outline for her skin. She has them, you just have to look really closely to notice.
I planned to give her more braids before I decided to draw her lovely ponytail. Still turned out better than expected!
Was I meant to draw her hand? Yes. Did I draw it? No, because I didn't know it looked right.
I had to find a way to draw her clothes without clipping into the hand. Yes, the hand and body are in separate layers, but I needed to find a way around it since I gave her a shirt first.
Unrelated to all my RAMBLING about her design, I still believe that her and Rainbow are bisexual instead of lesbians. But that's just me.
Rainbow Dash:
Outfit? I imagined her having this clothing that like shows sides of her waist (similar to Pinkie's despite the different body type) and I gave it to her. As well as a shirt with revealing shoulders. I do believe that Rainbow Dash will be more daring when she wears clothes, though they won't be too revealing.
Her hair? I decided it was gonna be somewhat brown/brunette. Though I seem to have picked lighter brown, still turned out great. Could've given her a shorter haircut, but I'm used to giving characters I draw longer hair. And it works out well in the end... probably! Still, turned out well and I don't regret it too much.
She has those rainbow like streaks on her body as tattoos! In a way, she can show that she truly is AWESOME as she wants to be! (Rainbow Rocks reference yay!)
I did have trouble painting her hair because you never know how are you meant to get those rainbow streaks down for a girl like her!
One thing I forgot to give Dash is her ear piercings I planned to give her. I do think I will give Rarity earrings that reflect her, maybe in the shape of her cutie mark.
Pinkamena Diane "Pinkie" Pie:
First thing I'm gonna comment about Pinkie is that I loved both versions of her: the white with ginger hair + the black with pink hair. Yes, I do believe she could possibly be a black person, though that is my own interpretation, but I do see her as a black ginger (and they exist, btw!), so I combined both.
Of course, I "dyed" her hair pink around the middle, so it can be like I explained in Fluttershy's section. And did my best to draw it curly!
Do I love chubby Pinkie Pie? Of course, because I find it adorable! It's not a kink/fetish, it's just something I like, plus I did draw my Shiny Sylveon OC Snowy chubby. And Pinkie is often drawn this way, so why not try and draw her chubby.
I "threw" confetti at her because no confetti means no fun, and no fun means flat hair, so confetti means curly hair!
I did give her freckles. Should've given Applejack some (her pony design had them), but forgot. I will not fix that since what's done is done.
She likes to wear lots of bracelets, so that's why she has them on her hands.
The difference between her and Dash having in a way the same clothes? She has her pants pulled up more.
I have no idea on whether I drew her chubbiness correctly, so you can offer you criticism in the comment section or in a reblog!
! ! THEY AREN'T REDESIGNS OF THE CHARACTERS!!! ! !
As I said, Human Sunset and Starlight in Equestria Girls, but they aren't the pony ones!
I know there is no Human Sunset outside of the one we know was Celestia's former student. And I know there also isn't a human Starlight. BUT! And that's a big BUTT! I decided to make my own versions of them because I could! And make them real because yes! Argue with the wall!
Notes down below!
Notes about Sunset Shimmer Cassie Amber:
Again, she is not a Sunset redesign. I'm not aiming to redesign Sunset. Hell, Sunset looks perfect in her original form!
Since pony-turned-human Sunset has taken residence in the human world, this version of her has changed her name to Cassie Amber
Her relationship with her brother, Sunburst, is good.
She is best friends with Human Starlight (I'll call her Star for short).
When Sunset first came into the human dimension, she decided to ensure her human counterpart was nowhere to be found, so she kidnapped her and left her with the scar she hides behind bandages.
Cassie took inspiration from Soarin's tattoos, and now her shoulders and collarbone have the eldritch blackness with eyes-and-tentacles tattoo.
She decided her hair was going to be a sideways one.
She is a lot more like post-redemption Sunset since she didn't have a solar god breathing down her neck.
Ever since Friendship Games and Camp Everfree, she has gained the same powers Sunset has, and now she can't control when she suddenly starts deciding to walk through someone else's memory lane.
She avoids physical touch like the plague because of her unpredictable powers.
Unlike Sunset, Cassie feels like she will have a panic attack whenever her powers activate.
Same fashion style as Sunset Shimmer.
Cassie feels jealous that a counterpart of hers took over her life because she wasn't like this before.
The only people who know she is the real human Sunset are Star and her brother, Sunburst.
She harbors unresolved resentment towards Sunset for everything she took away from her.
She is super supportive of her brother dating Star.
She is indeed fit.
She has pierced her ears because she is leaning into the punk aesthetic and genre.
Her brother and best friend study at CPA while she is in CHS.
Upside-down cross earrings.
She is also bisexual, like Sunset.
She had true feelings for the guitarist who fell for her, unlike how Sunset first used Flash for popularity.
Notes about Starlight "Star" Glimmer:
Starlight doesn't have her beanie.
Black star earrings.
Starlight is dating Sunburst, her best friend Cassie's older brother by one year.
She and Sunburst study in CPA.
I hate CPA uniforms wholeheartedly because, GOD, I had to find one to draw her in one.
She knows that Cassie used to be the original Sunset Shimmer in this world.
She is fascinated by magic.
She knew Sci-Twi there, and the two used to be study buddies before Twilight transferred.
She is fine studying in CPA, plus she gets to spend it with the biggest dork in there.
She and Sunburst are always seen together in Crystal Prep Academy.
She hasn't met pony Starlight and probably never will.
She may appear organized, but she is an internal mess sometimes, so Sunburst is left organizing most things.
She is internally anxious, and Sunburst is externally anxious. Both balance each other out.
She met Cassie when Sunburst offered her a ride to their home.
She wasn't in the Friendship Games, so she hasn't met Sunset or her friends.
She is an A+ student.
She would've taken Twilight's place if Sci-Twi didn't agree to go.
I have finally finished drawing Trixie Lulamoon and Sunburst! It took me a lot of time to finish drawing them truly!
Like I said, I planned to draw them!
As always, here, I begin to explain my artistic choices, as small as they could be! Starting with Trixie Lulamoon!
THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE:
I truly felt like her coat and hair gave off the vibes of a white blond girl, so I designed her this way.
Her hair was a bit hard to draw, but ultimately far easier than Rarity's or her best friend's hair.
I had to also make an outline for her cape and wizard hat. For her specifically, I used two reference images, one without her outfit, and one with her outfit. Both were useful for me to get my Human Trixie just right!
Her expression can be noticed if you look closely and she is smirking.
Doing her gem that holds her cape was hard and a pain in my ass. But then again, Trixie has a way to be a pain in one's flank!
In the end, her design turned out GREAT!
Also, her back hair is ALSO died, but her cape hides it.
Royal Crystaller Sunburst:
He is the first stallion I turned into human, so his hair is shorter than the girls' hair.
Since I HC him as Sunset's brother, he and her are both Hispanic/latin. He, unlike his sister, has Vitiligo reminiscent of how he looks as a pony.
I had to outline his cape to make it right, just like how I did for AJ's hat and Trixie's hat and cape. As well as the piercings + earrings on Rarity. Sometimes I outline them to make them right.
I thought of making him ginger like his sister, but went with him being brunette and him dying his hair the color of his mane to look different.
Same goes for his beard, as you can see. Both his dark brunette hair and beard are dyed in the colors of his mane.
Getting the lines on his cape were a bit annoying to do, but turned out fantabulous in the end!
You obviously can't see it, but his hands also have vitiligo! It's a nod to how he has whiter coat on his limbs. His cape hide it.
The drawing below is unrelated to the humanized ponies and as an extra to it. These two are my PMD OCs: Jessica Myers the Zeraora + Audrey Solari, the Shiny Lucario.
