Seeing the amazing Soul Jam cookie designs from @/william-bookkeeper gave me back the motivation to continue with LoK own cookie form. Seriously, y'all need to check them out!! Their art and writing are so peak ✨️✨️
Ofcourse, I can't leave out @/insertsaddict and the anon for the Light of Kindness inspo ask either. The main reason why I wanted to try my hands at designing them.
If your interest to read more of my thought process. It'll be down here 👇
I knew that I wanted to keep LoK cookie form simple since the Harmony Jams on their own aren't as powerful as a full-on Soul Jam. I was sorta going for an Ethereal Light thing, if that makes sense
Kinda of like a steven universe gem situation. Where their forms are just made of their pure Harmony Light.
I got some inspiration from the Light of Solidarity (in-game) form. It was a challenge to have a good amount of pinks yet not make them blindly white... I hope I achieve that well enough, oof
I couldn't decide on just giving them regular feathered or butterfly wings. After a bit more thinking and debating with myself. I went more butterfly. A reference to the gen 1 flutter ponies. Plus, a differentiate from you and your Light (while still looking like you with small changes)
They were going to have a tail... but I scrapped it since it felt too much with everything else going on. I like to keep a good balance when I design characters. Not go too little or overboard
The "clothes" I just use from my concept of your awakened form
As you can tell, I don't normally add eyes to my version of flutter y/n, but I thought it'll be a fun contrast to give your Light ones! They'll still have a mouth... it's just isn't visible unless for important scenes like kissing
it was a bit of a challenge to keep the eyes looking natural, tho. Yet I still wanted to keep Fluttershy's sweet puppy-like look. I hope I achieve it :p
So yeah, I believe that's all! I'm not sure if I'll do the rest of the harmony lights... Unless if more of you would like me to try? But I can't really grant any promises. We'll see 🤷♀️
I also totally didn't make this just so I could draw LoD and LoK holding hands and being all lovely dovely.. nope, not at all...heh
