Title: "Extra paint" ponies you would have liked to see
Post by: SunPony on April 23, 2021, 04:35:20 PM
Many ponies were produced with more than just the standard rump mark/hip print/cutie mark/symbol, with themes as varied as flowers and snack food items.  For example, G1 Twice Fancy, G3 Pretty Patterns, etc.  Are there any designs or themes you think would be great for this kind of treatment in any of the generations? 

Personally I would have loved a G1 pony with a TAF pattern of various fruits.  Maybe a color scheme like Tic-Tac-Toe's, but with little apples, pears, limes, cherries, etc scattered all over.  In G4 there were those ponies with detailed scenes printed on one side...I think a  realistic starscape could look awesome on a pony like that.

Share your creative ideas!

We could go expanding your fruit idea to a Pony with assorted sweets over her, assorted vegetables, assorted flowers, assorted insects, several pets...

Or for the scene idea, a farmhouse, a countryside, a forest, a beach, a waterfall...

And then, based on the TAF Glowing Magic Mimic, I'd have loved a TAF Confetti!!!

Oh assorted vegetables would be so cute!  And insects...I never would have thought of that.

Going a little more specifically on your fruit theme, I've always wanted a citrus-themed pony...lemons, limes and orange slices.

Watermelon would also be a good one.

More space themed ponies with TAF markings would have been amazing! I love pastel, celestial themed ponies.

Colorswirl ponies, but more extra. Making them look like they've been watermarbled. They could be very stripey, colorful or even look like geodes or something. There could be "special paints" like metalics, pearly, glittery and more basic ones moxed together. They would look absolutely extra.  :P

Agreed! We do need more space ponies.
As for other twice as fancy/pretty patterns, I would really like to see a pet themed one. Cats, dogs, birds, even a few fish and reptiles perhaps. We already know that ponies keep pets. Why not have a pet themed pony?

I would like to see the hooves of big brothers painted. I'm kind of tempted to do it myself but I don't think it's a good idea.

I think G4 would be a lot more fun if they had more extra-paint ponies that weren't just reprints of the cutie mark! The Rainbow Power brushables with extra bits are some of my favorite releases, especially the Pinkie Pie one. It just really adds to it.
I would have loved to see more summer ponies. I love summer ponies.

Lots more great ideas... Wow, space is really popular!  Hmm, I think I know what you mean about painting the big brothers hooves.  I wonder if there are some customs floating around that were done that way, that you could look at and see how it looks.

I would have loved to see a black or dark charcoal coloured glowing magic pony with red and yellow hair.

I think it's sad we never got ponies in that colour category.

One in Twinkler's colour would also be nice, since it's a richer colour than Dazzleglow's tends to be, but I'd still prefer the close to black option.

I've always wondered what it might be like to have a pony covered in petals. Not flowers. Petals. Maybe pink and glittery ones. I probably have sakura on the brain.

That'd be perfect for a g3, and especially in gradients. White to pink to deep red,, with rich purple and yellow hair and forest green eyes. :lovey:

You guys are giving me too many ideas for customs— those fruit and food TAFs sound like they would be so fun to make!
