Seasonal Mane 6
« on: October 13, 2020, 11:25:10 PM »
Prompted by "I wish seasonal ponies would come back" and "I don't think people would mind Mane 6 releases that much if they were visually interesting/different" so here it is, something completely out of season! (Let's be real, if we got something seasonal, Hasbro probably wouldn't introduce new characters... at least for G4)

I guess the Southern Hemisphere can enjoy this now but either way Easter is a ways away... ;) I just wanted to do something very pastel. Inspired by Rainbow Power, but is flower and bunny themed.

This drawing was done quick and it's not really up to my standards... if I design other ponies I'm not sure if it will be a finished picture or just a sketch!

Pinkie -> Valentines
Applejack -> Autumn/Halloween
Rarity -> Winter/Christmas
Twilight -> New Years...?
Rainbow Dash -> Not sure! Maybe summer? Birthday?

Easter Fluttershy is such a perfect idea, it makes sense in so many ways.
From her pet bunny to the fact she shares a color scheme with G2 Sky Skimmer, who has a gorgeous Easter version.

Rolling with the trend of using Anglo holidays, maybe RD could be St. Patricks Day with an emphasis on the rainbow gold rather than the color green. Or like you said, just a summer pony. She's sky blue after all. Maybe give her more yellow and orange in her mane and add some golden tinsel, give her legs a gradient to white to symbolize white clouds. And give her sunglasses. Then put her in a set with Sunny Rays ;)

First off, that is a hecking beautiful design for Fluttershy.

Other possibilities: Applejack as general autumn/harvest season (or maybe Thanksgiving), while Pinkie Pie is explicitly Halloween (because candy). Rarity could also work for Valentine's Day since she's the romantic of the group. If Rarity was moved to Valentine's, Pinkie could also be New Year's (because parties), while Twilight Sparkle was Christmas. Although Pinkie's party connection works for Christmas too, and I do like Twi as New Year's because of the symbolism.

and now "Winter Wrap-Up" is stuck in my head
should be perma-moderated

Rainbow Dash for St. Patrick's is something I wouldn't have considered because I was looking at the holidays/seasons ponies were released in before. It could make for a fun design!

I'd like to mess around with these design ideas too!

I'm back with Valenpie! ...and Cadence!

With Pinkie I originally was going to do a candy heart theme with her, but she's Pinkie Pie so I decided to just make her pink instead. :D She has a little gift tag around her neck that says her name.

Cadence I decided to give the candy heart theme but it just kinda looks like more pastels... her Cutie Mark is different at least? :P And her accessories are rose gold.

I love how cute Pinkie looks, I'd like to clean her up some time.

That pastel piece is to die for! Love the palette and the idea.  :lovey:

In my mind Pinkie Pie is the sort of like the G1 birthday pony, though I don’t know who’ll be better for Valentines if not her...  :what:  :lookround:

I LOVE that Easter Fluttershy! Her colored wings remind me of G1 Ringlets, and I love how you hid those bunny faces in the butterfly's wings on her cutie mark.
