Title: Twice as Fancy designs (1986)
Post by: Strawberry Swirl on May 03, 2021, 12:42:50 PM

I thought my pony designs & lore would gain more traction here - I know you'll like it too!

Dancing Butterflies

Etymologist who keeps tabs of the populations of butterflies and moths from all over Ponyland. Sometimes stereotyped as a ditzy blonde, she's actually quite intelligent and is an accomplished scientist in her field. She's saved some species of moths/butterflies from extinction through captive breeding programs, and thus has won awards for this. She has one daughter (Baby DB).

Love Melody

If one ever needs couples' counseling, Love Melody is whom they go to. She not only gives advice or tips for how to improve your relationships, but also how to find a partner. Sometimes she offers to set up blind dates for ponies who are looking for love and some couples swear by her uncanny ability to read ponies' personalities and characteristics. She has one daughter. (Baby LM)

Milky Way

Spoiler

Miner of precious gemstones of which she makes into pointed crystals or polished stones, in which she imbues with different enchanted properties using her unicorn magic. Depending on what the customer requests, she can create stones that when placed in the home, can lift one's spirits, inspire confidence, bring good luck, or do many other things. Plus, they're always pretty to look at and make great home decorations. She is married to Twinkler and they have two daughters. (Baby MW is biological while B Mischief is adopted)

Sugarberry

Grows various types of fruits such as strawberries, peaches, raspberries, and blackberries to make into jams or other types of preserves. She is the head of the farmer's market in Ponyland and sells her creations there, as well as many other ponies who have similar lives. She and her family have historically been good friends of the G4 Apple Family clan. She is married to Strawberry Surprise and they have one daughter. (B Sugarberry)

Sweet Tooth

Runs a confection shop along with her wife Sugar Sweet, where each candy is made by hoof right in the shop. It's a popular attraction because you can actually see the candy being made by ST or SS right in front of your eyes, and they have held seminars on how to make simple kinds of candies at home. They have one daughter together (Baby ST).

Up Up and Away

Spoiler

 Called "Uua" (oo-ah) because of the long complicated name. She's responsible for inventing the hot air balloon alongside business partner Lofty, and thus revolutionized how non-winged ponies travel. She is married to Gusty and has two daughters (Babies UUA and Gusty.)

Eee thanks! I find it really easy to pair ponies together, I feel like if you find two with similar themes then you're set.

A bunch of cuties with STORIES!  I love the little families and backgrounds you made for them.  I never made up backstories for my ponies so it is always interesting to me seeing other people's ideas on what the characters are like.  And yours seem to go with them perfectly.

Thank you everybody!! I'm wanting to make more of these, I have the second set of TE ponies in the works, but I would love if you had any suggestions or requests!

Ohh they're lovely! I can never get enough of headcanons for the lives of ponies like this. Up Up and Away's nickname is perfect.

These are very cute drawings and the stories are lovely, very nice. But I do believe you meant entomologist for Dancing Butterflies.
