I would like to share a highlight reel of some of my silly colourful horses since I've recently drastically expanded the collection. In no particular order:

This is Pinkie Pie and Toolaroola, the oldest of my current collection (excluding the one breezie left over from when I was an actual child). I weaselled them out of a friend when I was around 12-13 and promptly took them home and gave Toolaroola a necklace and earrings and Pinkie Pie an eyebrow ring. I like to think they're dating.

I saw this one (Officially named Denim Blue but that's lame) on an Ebay listing recently and immediately thought ''whoa! Pre-transition Shining Armor!!'' So of course I got the whole lot because who wouldn't at that point. Makes me think about the logistics of pony transition. Do their cutie marks change? Do they dye their manes? Do they just go to their unicorn friend and ask for them to magically change their gender? Does such a spell exist? Where can I find it?

Fluttershy, carefully regarding a neon tetra who is fully ignoring her. She's a new addition as well, coming from that Ebay lot. I'd like to eventually have all of the precursors to the Mane Six, but I know they can be pretty sought after. I don't even have a Rainbow Dash yet which annoys me because I really like her G3 design.

Pretty Parasol, who I got probably five years ago at this point. She came with a couple others but I got the lot for her specifically because she's one of the two I actually had when I was little! The original fell victim to a dog and some melted balloons unfortunately, and I wasn't old enough to know how to restore her yet. I used to call her Strawberry Vanilla, so that's her name to me.

Hidden Treasure! This is a big one! She was my first real restoration job, and the only one I've ever finished. I got her in godawful condition at an op shop in late 2021 and finished her sometime this year with new glitter, a full clean, hair from (unfortunately) dollyhair.com (don't worry, I know the drama now and will not repeat this. Their customer service was horrible anyway) and a strawberry scent oil. She's meant to have tinsel in her mane but I gave up because it was annoying me, there's a little in her tail though.

Bonus:

My G2s!!!! I love this generation so much, it's definitely my favourite in terms of the actual toys. I find G1s are really expensive and hard to find (at least in Australia), G3s are cool and nostalgic and probably my second favourite, and G3.5s onward are just too small and fine to actually use a toy, plus whatever hair they use now goes frizzy in 0.2 seconds. But G2s? Man, they all have an individual gimmick, they're a good size; can fit in a pocket and also be played with, their hair is long enough to brush but not so long it gets in the way like G3s, and their sculpts are so pretty and appealing. I love the way they look much more like actual horses than any other generation and they have their own unique charm. And no one talks about them! I find it so crazy that no one else seems to appreciate them like this. So many people just ignore them, I had no idea they even existed until I connected the dots and figured out there must be something between G1 and G3 and looked them up. These five are yet another Ebay lot that was about $30 including shipping, which is unbelievable for something of this vintage, in this country, where things like this can get expensive. They're just so appealing, I can't believe more people aren't as in love with them as I am.

🌤🍄🐛

🌤️ - what’s your favourite ship?

shipping isn't really my thing but ive always thought that fizzy and wind whistler would make a really adorable couple!! fizzy saying "gee wind whistler that was beautiful, i love the way you talk!" in the mlp movie still makes my heart melt

as for g4, i don't really have a favorite ship or anything, any art of the mane six being girlfriends or the cutie mark crusaders having crushes on each other makes me smile.....my little pony invented being gay and having girlfriends

🍄 - who’s your favourite g3 character?

this is such a tough one but i have to go with starcatcher!! she was my favorite as a kid to the point where i had a backpack with her on it and a fancy toy of hers, and i still think she's such a beautiful pony with a perfect design!! also like....trans rights

🐛 - who’s your favourite villain?

my favorite g1 villain is either squirk or porcina!! the g1 villains are so great because they're all so unapologetically evil and usually have some wack plan like turning all the ponies to glass or hunting them with ghosts that actually has a serious degree of horror to it

my favorite g4 villain is probably flim and flam tbh, there are other villains with cooler designs and darker ambitions but im a sucker for a villain concept thats literally just "old timey snake oil salesman" and these two clowns have some excellent songs under their belts

This kinda started out as a sketch and became a stress reliever drawing for me but I finished it oops. So it’s been in my folder for a couple of days and when I finished some uni stuff or got Home from work I sar down and drew this But now it’s finished I might as well show you guys.

So if you didn’t know I adore My Little Pony and I watched the original with Lickety-Split, North Star and Spike! If you don’t know them they are considered G1 ponies, I’m not even old it’s just what I watched it as a kid and adored it. My boi the smooze was a favourite.

But I do love the new MLP and I was so sad to see it end. My favourite character was probably Cadence she was very pretty and nice! And the Canterlot wedding is a classic episode. But I must admit I do adore Thorax and Yona. I love them all actually I can’t sit here and pick favs!

Anyway I wanted to draw some human MLP characters just cause I’ve seen versions and I wanted to do my own. I see a lot of people making her very pale but I think she would have sun-kissed skin! Luna would probably be very pale. I do like to think the horn and wings are real as well, but the horn may channel magic but I imagine her wings are small and stiff from not using them. But hey it’s magical in some way.

The design of her outfit came from several places: Rome was the inspiration for Canterlot so I drew the white sleeves and cape from that. The sun imagery is self explanatory, the purple jewellery is references to the purple gems she has her crown and necklace(?), the circular designs are inspired from Apollo tattoos in Kamigami No Asobi. Also the little bit of fire in her hands is how I imagine her magic is orange and warm.

Anyway I want to do all the princesses! So Luna, Cadence, Twilight and technically Flurry Heart.

Look How Far We’ve Come

Welcome to Year of the Pony’s second regular series (aside from the editorials), The Elements of MLP! Every month, we’ll be looking at one aspect of Friendship is Magic in some degree of depth to explore all the different parts that go together to make MLP what it is.

Part of the reason I started this year-long event was to get to the bottom of why I love this show so much, so maybe looking it piece by piece will help me appreciate the whole better.

This month, we’ve got the Element of Design and Animation, one of my personal favourites.

And, I’m not alone! So let’s go through the whole gosh darn process (or at least as many stages as I’ve got something to say on)!

Design

In the beginning, there was Lauren Faust.

If you only know one name from behind-the-scenes, it’s Lauren Faust. As MLP:FIM’s creator, she lead a lot of the development that made the show what it is visually (and in other areas, too, of course).

So, yes, Faust had an immeasurable influence on the design choices. And, because of her genuine love for My Little Pony as a kid, so did previous generations of MLP.

Figures that AJ would be the one to change the least during development (never change, AJ), but here they are: The old school Mane 6! As you probably know, all based on characters from the franchise’s history!

You’ll notice that even though the colours themselves varied, the pastel colour-scheme overall was there from the start, and it’s largely because of the franchise's roots in the 80s.

*Correction: Silver Rain on EQD pointed out to me that the cartoon commonly thought of as G2, My Little Pony Tales, is actually still G1. There is no G2 cartoon (generations are defined by new sets of the toys, not the cartoons or feature films, so even though Pony Tales is very distinct from the first two movies, it’s still G1)

The closest thing to a G2 anything besides the toys is a video game, but for this analysis I decided to keep it strictly to television and movies. So, enjoy knowing G2 is a lie!

See how the first two generations looked a bit washed out? And the next two are sort of over-saturated? In addition to looking cleaner because digital animation v.s. traditional (neither is better), G4 strikes a balance between the different colour-palettes of the franchise in a really comforting, visually satisfying way.

Soothing is probably the best word, which expertly matches the breezy, light-hearted, and loving tone of the show.

So, anyway, even after development went on, as changes were made, notes were taken, and the world we’ve come to know took shape, the show’s roots still have a surprisingly big influence on its visuals.

And my god, can we all take a second to appreciate these designs?

Every element---from characters, to creatures, to backgrounds, to that storybook thing they keep doing---make this show a visual treat. For several reasons:

Cute - the ponies are round; there are very few sharp points in their designs and that combined with the classic big eyes + cute tum + small nose and mouth = cute, makes them even freaking cuter

Instantly Recognizable - there’s a rule popularized by Simpsons creator Matt Groening that if you can recognize a character in silhouette, that’s a good design; even besides the fact that they’re ponies and you could tell them apart from human characters, there’s absolutely no doubt who’s who---I could even name the side characters if you tested me

Conveying Personality - You can tell most character’s personalities from the minute they walk on screen---take Starlight Glimmer, for instance; the first shot we see of her, she’s got kind of a 60s hairstyle, so before she even opens her mouth, you can guess she’s either got some old-fashioned ideas, or more accurately, she’s in charge of this weirdly cheery village (ever watch, well, pretty much anything from the 60s? Those fake smiles in Starlight’s village would fit right at home); her false-belief of what will make ponies truly happy is reflected in her design, and not only that, she used to have straight bangs to instantly cue to the viewer that this is a character who’s going to parallel Twilight (especially when she’s screaming about ‘creating Harmony’...)

Simplistic - Most of these designs use thick outlines and soft colours to emphasize just how cute the horses are; in relation to the backgrounds and other creatures, they easily draw the eye because the other elements are more detailed but very rarely have outlines.

Asymmetry - You’d think it would be more satisfying to an audience to see characters with symmetrical designs, but not so, and this is reflected in every single character design in the show (as well as most building designs: the Golden Oaks Library, Canterlot Castle, Cloudsdale, etc.); even Twilight, who’s bangs are cut straight across (according to the EQG universe), has a curve to her mane, highlights to the left, and a small part on one side

All of these aspects and probably more give all the designs a strong visual impact, while also making them cute as heck.

I don’t think I can say it better than this: these designs are so sweet, distinctive, and inviting that the fandom latched onto and created entire backstories and personas out of background characters. It’s like Bobba-Fett from the Star Wars franchise---in reality, he’s barely in the films, but because he managed to grab so many people’s attention with his surprisingly memorable design, he’s one of the most popular characters!

And, you know, I’m not going to lie to you. Part of the reason this show is so comforting to watch is just the soft colours and incredibly cute characters. It really is just soothing to look at. But there’s more to the visuals than just cute, pretty ponies.

Movement

One of the things I remember hearing back when I first came into the fandom in early season 2 was that some fans were downright shocked that MLP was animated in Flash--- a program so cheap and hard to animate in fluidly that most shows and projects that come out of it tend to look ... shoddy.

Which isn’t always the case, of course, good shows have been animated there, but I would say that, on the whole, shows animated in Flash seem to have great designs but less focus on fluid movement.

Like, even if you’re not an animation nerd, if I list a bunch of shows you animated with Flash, you might notice a kind of a pattern in how they move (of the ones you know):

Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends

Johnny Test

Total Drama Island

Hi! Hi! Puffy Ami Yumi

Yin Yang Yo!

Kappa Mickey

Dan V.s.

Archer

The Gravity Falls pilot (the rest of the show was animated in ToonBoom Harmony, the same animation program My Little Pony: The Movie is being animated in!)

It’s a hard quality to describe for me, but the absolute best example probably is the Gravity Falls pilot:

youtube

See how everything looks exceedingly flat (even for 2D animation)? And how each movement tends to have this weird, unnecessary (for lack of a better word) pop to it?

That’s what Flash is known for.

I’d like to take a second to say it of course doesn’t make all of those shows bad at all; and in fact, there are a number of shows besides MLP that actually use Flash well (to the point that you wouldn’t know it’s animated in Flash).

Bob’s Burgers, Archer, Sym-Bionic Titan, The Amazing World of Gumball, even Fairly Odd Parents as of the 10th season.

I think it’s mostly just the fact that at the time we didn’t know many shows that could look this good and still use Flash.

The exciting thing is that MLP doesn’t move like that. Season 1 had its moments of animation flubs, sure, but I’ve re-watched it recently and it is animated pretty well.

A lot of moments will have a snap for emphasis (like, the manes will move how they’re supposed to), but it’s handled in a natural way that doesn’t distract from the movements we’re actually supposed to focus on.

And, no, it’s not the most sophisticated, beautiful animation out there, but it can run the gambit from snappy comedic timing to slower, dramatic scenes.

I think the only problem I’ve really noticed with G4 animation is whenever characters run in Equestria Girls.

I know, that’s really specific. I don’t even have a problem when they walk, it’s just when they’re running that it looks the most like the cheap Flash animation. It’s a hard quality for me to describe, but rewatch a scene where they have to run at all, I’m serious. It’s almost a pet peeve at this point.

It’s a hazard of the genre, I suppose. Like most Western animation, MLP focuses most of its time and energy on expression and the smaller movements as opposed to big, involved battle sequences or choreographed action (the only big battle sequence is the Dragon Ball Z Tirek fight, which was done super well, but is still a rarity in this show).

Meaning, some of the most unique bits of animation come in the form of expressions and reactions.

I always love these. Not for the meme potential (although... ), but because I know every time I see a face like that the animators went out of their way to make something distinct and insanely expressive.

And that’s not the only way they bring the visuals together. I could probably go on and on about things like the shading and lighting, the staging, the intelligent use of background to hide gags or references or just add that much more depth to a scene...

But, seriously, I’ve already eaten up so much of your dash.

I will say this, though. Friendship is Magic’s style is more gorgeous, fitting, and creative than you might think at first. It’s why the artistic side of the community exploded, and still hasn’t stopped growing. And the continual improvement in this element alone is enough to get me excited for the next season. I’ll admit it, it’s one of the biggest reasons I always look forward to seeing more.

Woo! That’s a wrap for this Elements of MLP, but I’ll have a new one for you every month this year! In the meantime, you can always check out the editorials, or, you know, whatever. I’m not gonna tell you how to live.
