I realized i never posted these!! Here's my mlp founders redesigns :]
Under the cut notes, individual pictures compared to their og design and the bases for each drawing ^_^
Princess Platinum's outfit the same but i have changed her to resemble more medieval European unicorn.
l also added a bit of a red gradient to her to contrast Clover the Clever
More brown eyed horsies for my soul
I wanted her to look more regal, hence the royal bodytype
Her base is this drawing of Luna!
Clover the Clever was genderswapped with Private Passionflower (we'll get there) and the palette swapped with Smart Cookie.
The reason she was genderbent that the founders had 3 girls and 3 boys, but since i wanted to give Smart Cookie's colour palette to Clover that'd mean degreenify a girl, and we get so little green girls! So i gender-swapped but maintained the 3 girl 3 boys thing
As per her outfit, i found it weird all of the founders had pretty elaborate clothing except a ROYAL advisor, and the show was also indecisive of Clover's cloak as his original design shows the cloak from the Heart's Warming play but in the episode The Haunted Spell-venger hunt (a Matter of Principals)" they show a COMPLETELY different cloak. So i redesigned the whole thing inspired loosely by some medieval depictions of some
The base is Saffron Masala
Commander Hurricane is now coloured after hurricane heat maps :]
I changed his symbol to be the ACTUAL hurricane symbol, I don't understand the lighting dash OR the twilight ass cutie mark
I wanted him to look more gruff. Im assuming hes around the same time as Flash Magnus, which means the hearts warming tale wouldn't be his first rodeo yknow?
Here's his base
Private Pansy is now Private Passionflower, since he was originally a girl it didn't cary any implication. But now he's a dude, so it does
Also i wanted to get inspired off my childhood passion flowers!!
His outfit is more akin to the play one then the historical one
I struggled a lot with his colours looking spike-like, but i think they still do look like that :,)
Private Pansy was more akin to fluttershy's personality, I wanted Private Passionflower to be less shy and more Generally Awkward
I liked the heart’s warming play outfit better, so i based his off that
This is the base i used
Chancellor Puddinghead is now less-pudding more panna cotta, i just really like panna cotta. My favorite is the caramel one but he's frutti di bosco
The play outfit was once again SO MUCH CUTER compared to the historical one. I decided to keep it the exact same
I kept the bodytype the exact same!
Face marking kindaaa meant to resemble a mask like in the Commedia dell’Arte specifically pulcinella
The base is a screenshot I took of the praire dog trainer from Las Pegasus
Smart Cookie is not green anymore! She gave her green to Clover and is now a cookie like pingo horse
I changed her outfit from brown to blue for better contrast
Her eyes were originally blue with the yellow and orange being place holders but i really liked it
