elemental redesigns as i am icarus who decides to fly too close to the sun
Kept ya waiting, huh?
I think The Apple Siblings were the hardest elements to pin down. Since they were supposed to be related to Applejack, and her element is metal. I decided to go with the idea of different minerals made into man-made objects. Applejack is more man-made metal than natural materials. Applebloom is glass instead of sand. And Big MacIntosh is a "Golem Maker," which means he's the one who makes the man-made objects out of materials like clay, rock, or wood.
I also decided to make it so that Applebloom’s “glass appendages” look more like blown glass than clear drinking glasses or windows. Definitely came out cuter! ^^

Shining Armor Elemental Redesign | Whirlwinds
Ay! Elemental redesigns are back for the siblings of the Mane 6!
First off is Shining Armor, who gets the powers of whirlwinds to use like forcefields! I want the siblings of all the main girls to have similar, but not the same powers. So, since Twilight was Air, Shining Armor is Whirlwinds!
If you want to check out my other elemental redesigns (including the Mane 6 and the Princesses) check out my gallery here! Next up are The Pie Sisters! [Please do not repost my art!]
Love is Timeless...
Time was kind of a hard concept to pin down into a character because a lot of the objects or symbols associated with it are very unnatural/manmade. Unlike Luna and Celestia who have more natural elements to them such as butterfly wings, or skulls, and flowers, I had to work with harder shapes and figures. As you can see I have the numbers, infinity symbols, and the hourglass, but the main focus point is Cadence's new mane. I always kind of liked how her mane was curly and different from the other princesses so I wanted to make it a bit different.
I know I gave Rainbow a storm cloud mane for her redesign, but I imagine for this one, Cadence's is more of a shield then a weapon, and instead of crackling with lightning and thunder, it's more flowy like Mist Mane's. I also imagine that it changes color depending on the time of day and the weather. Same thing with the numbers constantly counting upwards until they reach "9" and then starting over at "0." It wasn't originally what I had in mind for Cadence, but I think it works more for her character. [Please do not repost my art!]
Mane 6 (Elemental Redesigns)
And here’s the final spread of the Mane 6 with my elemental redesigns! I really enjoyed working on this and I was considering doing similar redesigns of the princesses, but they’re already kind of designed after specific elements (Celestia is Light, Luna is Darkness, and Cadence is Love/Heart), so I decided to refrain from it since it’d just be a regular character redesign. I actually think I’ll keep my designs in my backlog if I ever want to draw the Mane 6 again, I just really like how they came out and I’d love to draw them more sometime later (working on YCH’s atm). Let me know what you guys think of the final designs! ^^
Twilight Sparkle (Air), Rarity (Fire), Fluttershy (Earth), Rainbow Dash (Lighting/Storm), Pinkie Pie (Water), and Applejack (Metal)

I know I said I wasn’t going to do elemental redesigns for the MLP Princesses, because they were already elemental, but I’m honestly starting to consider it.
I just don’t know how I want to go about it.
Do I keep Luna Dark/Moon, Celestia Light/Sun, and Cadance Heart? Doing simple redesigns just based on their own established elements is something I kinda wanted to avoid because there are already hundreds of amazing ones out there already. I’ve considered flip-flopping Celestia and Luna’s elements so Luna is now Light and Celestia is Dark while still keeping true to their characters (i.e. not just making a taller Luna and a shorter Celestia), but where would that leave Cadance? Do I just throw things at the wall and see what sticks?
Idk, if you guys have any ideas of what could be interesting, fun, or just random let me know! ^^
