This was something that I started working on earlier the year but I ended up putting it aside, but with the 15th Anniversary of MLP:FiM (wait, it’s that old?!), I thought I’d finish this.
So, last year, I was looking back at my old MLP drawings (specifically the B6) and thinking I could’ve designed them better. I reflected how I’ve been too constrained with drawing them as show accurate as possible when really it’s not a good idea when you’re drawing them as humans haha. Some still look/feel the same, others…had a glow up (looking at you Doctor👀)
Another lesson I learned is that references are your friends. Some of the clothes are still the same as previous but drawn better (I did Golden Harvest justice with her new dress😤).
In regards of whether I’ll resume making MLP fan art and/or the Draw the B6 Series (where I draw the B6 in Draw the Squad poses), idk. This is something I wanted to do to see how much I’ve grown as an artist. But at the same time, I still like the B6 and the lore I gave them (DtB6 was the motivation for me to keep drawing during the pandemic). After all, MLP kickstarted my dream of being an illustrator. So, #ThankYouMLP🫡
2nd image is the full concept design, as well as a re-draw of the B6 Height Comparison chart I made 6 years ago (damn, that long😫). Heights are still the same btw, but they’re all standing on the ground so it’s more accurate.
