Theres a little "challenge" over on MLPTP to redesign ponies and the recent one was for Twinkle Dancer, one of the ballerina ponies from g1 [photo by ponylandpress]:

I decided it would be fun to play around with my articulated pony rig and gave her a g1 style head and some fun details for my "version" of the ballerina ponies. I also made two color variants and I still can't decide which one I prefer.

Not all of the above poses would be possible with my current articulated body- I'm "cheating" by having the meshes clip quite a bit. But this little test gives me a better idea for what needs to change, which parts need to be shallower and which need more range of motion.

I've never seen fanart of the Sweet Steps and/or Baby Ballerina ponies, so here is Twinkle Dancer dancing with Baby Toe Dancer <3 I like to think of them as parent and child

Sweet Steps Twinkle Dancer’s hair was a MESS. My favorite kind.

How the Sweetsteps Ballerinas Celebrate Spring

On the first day of spring, the Sweetsteps Ballerinas stage a magnificent ballet to welcome the bright sunshine and budding flowers to Ponyland. The Gazebo in the park makes a perfect stage for each ballerina to display her special talent. Silky Slipper glides so gracefully that her feet hardly seem to touch the floor. When Twinkle Dancer spins, her hair wraps around her body like a shawl. No matter how high Tip Toes jumps, she always lands on her tippy toes. And the gentle swish and slide of Posey Rose's feet sounds like the sweetest of melodies. Listen! The birds are chirping. Spring is here...on with the show!
