redesigning my little pony: EQUESTRIA GIRLS!! ☆ (art + commentary)

just here to announce that i have officially started working on the part 2 to this video!! go follow my instagram if you want updates on the vid: instagram.com/jouusta?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D&… (the work has been delayed but it will be made in the next few months ahhhh!! im workin on it!!)

i love Fluttershy's design because as you explained, it makes her feel closed, and to me that makes me feel like she'd fidget with her clothes whenever she got in a social situation

Bro literally every Fluttershy redesign is better than the original. Like, who at Hasbro decided that she'd show the most skin when shy people usually don't like being seen?? Edit: First of all, thank you all for the likes! Second, I would just like to thank you all for your opinions of this matter in the replies. This comment was written from my point of view, and it was refreshing to see all of your thoughts!

Fun fact!! In the flashbacks (in the original FIM series) fluttershy was very skinny as a child, as opposed to the other kids who were more short and stocky like your average small pony. I'm doing redesigns so that was my reasoning for making her skinny lol Also I haven't finished the video but I love them all so far!!

As a pakistani, im super grateful of the fact you included us! most of the times people just say the character's design is indian (which is perfectly fine) tho seeing someone include pakistanis just feels nice!

me personally i think fluttershy is into the more fashionable side of clothing because in that one mlp episode she did critique rarity's stitching choices and rarity actually asked her to work at her boutique because she was super knowledgeable about fashion and recommendations i honestly think the only problems she might have had were confidence and self esteem issues, otherwise she did like the uh more stylish type of clothing buttt this is just my opinion and u can do whatever you want with ur art sooo..yeah

I wonder why, out of all things, they decided that the design through line between all of the main girls was going to be those skirts. Like I get giving all of them sort of similar hair lengths as humans, you want the hair to be brush-able on the dolls but....why those skirts. The shoes also strike me as a little odd, even thought I think them all having large shoes with visual elements starting at the knee is supposed to make them look more like horse legs and hooves but it's just such a weird choice.

I feel Twi would be obsessed with multiverse theory

OHMUGOSH TWILIGHT WOULD SO BE A SCIENCE GIRLY SHE WOULD LOVE ASTROLOGY AND PHYSICS AND SCIENCEY BLORBORT STUFF

Remember when Twilight was a librarian and kept records of the history of Equestria? My take is that she’s taking History cause she hopes to become a historian but also takes Astronomy because she’s been always interested in the stars thanks to Celestia and Luna(mostly for Luna on her part though)

I think that Fluttershy would make Kandi bracelets to fidget with when she gets anxious tbh

small rant going off of your twilight headcanons I feel like after the whiplash of being put in this entirely different world and finding out magic isn’t a thing like it is in her world, she’d DEFINITELY go to some kind of science degree like astronomy, quantum physics anything to help her learn more about how this world without magic even survives lmao. sorry for the small text dumb but idk I wanted to share it. I LOVE your designs you perfectly captured the essence of each character!!

Neat work! I'm loving the personality of each of the girls. Maybe you could redesign Spike to no longer be a dog?

The twilight redesign is absolute perfection!

I absolutely love the diversity in these drawings it makes me really happy you included all sorts of people, with different body types and races

I love how the fandom almost universally agreed Pinkie Pie was Black. 😂💛 Some exceptions, of course, but most human art I see with her, even during the early seasons of the cartoon, has her look afro-centric.

I also love the skin tone you used for you used for your pinkie pie it makes her overall outfit pop ! The sprinkles are everything ❤

I absolutely ADORE fluttershy’s design! And her accurate human lore. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ also the patterns on the skirt are soooo well done ❤

The mane 6 are absolutely POC. Gorgeous designs and fantastic fashion. Thank you for this gift. I have to say though, Fluttershy and Rarity actually bonded over fashion so while Fluttershy is definitely the type to prioritize comfort I think she is definitely still someone who puts effort into how she looks and actually meticulously styles and accessorizes her outfits.

fluttershy has a sort of mori kei look and i think that’s very fitting for her (ik it wasn’t intentional but ‘cottagecore’ is basically just a watered down and westernized take on mori kei)
