I REDESIGNED THE MANE SIX PONIES!!!
I had so much fun doing these and I really wanna ramble so if you wanna hear about my thought process, click below!
✨️Twilight Sparkle✨️
Twilight was the simplest and arguably the closest to her canon design with a few differences, she is tad taller as an alicorn, while she was a medium height as a unicorn before this
I REALLY wanted to change her colour palette into one of an actual twilight sky and skew darker in terms of colours for that almost dark academia feel.
I added some silver glasses and a collar and some sort of tie for that fantasy almost witch apprentice look as almost a nod to Twilight being Celestia's apprentice.
Her mane is up in a bun to keep it tidy while she studies and her tail is kept short so she doesn't get caught in anything as she runs around looking for books.
I thought it'd be cute for her to have sparkle like freckles to match the sparkles on her wings.
Finally, her cutie mark is all around the same but with more of the twilight colours instead.
🧁Pinkie Pie🧁
Pinkie Pie is now EXTRA fluffy to just fit her extra bubbly personality while also being the second shortest pony.
I decided to give Pinkie heterochromia, I just feel like it suits her really really well! Alongside the lighter rounded patches of fur and darkening the rest of her pink coat.
She got hoof-icures of sprinkles on her light pink hooves!
Her mane and tail are extra fluffy and shorter, making it look a lot more puffed up like the canon mane and tail she has as a filly in canon! She has sprinkles all over her mane and tail and a bow on her tail.
Finally, her cutie mark now has different coloured and shaped balloons as well as a cupcake and party hat, the cupcake referencing her baking talents as well as her party talents!
🦋Fluttershy🦋
Fluttershy has a few changes to her design, she is the third tallest pony of the group.
I gave Fluttershy, dark forest green eyes to contrast with all the pastels in her design.
She has significantly longer mane and tail with a gradient from pastel pink to a pastel leaf green.
I really wanted Fluttershy to have smaller wings, like Scootaloo in canon, she has this disability now and is unable to really fly. I wanted to explore just how much animals and the nature impacted her as a filly by making her a lot more connected to it. An example being the leaves and flowers in Fluttershy's mane and tail is from her climbing trees to help critters, something she LEARNED from her critter friends.
Her smaller wings have a small feather pattern that resembles a butterfly's wings in the inner of her wings and the fluff on her hooves also resemble leaves and butterfly wings.
💎Rarity💎
Rarity has a few changes, mainly to her mane and tail, she is also the fourth tallest among the group.
Rarity has piercing dark blue eyes, I made her eyes a more striking colour than in her canon design.
Her mane and tail now have small curls and waves, decorated with pearls and up in a half bun. With a gradient colours of dark purple to a pastel indigo. I really wanted to give her a very fashionable mane and tail style without it just being a single giant curl.
Rarity's hooves have a gradient into an ice blue.
I gave Rarity so many accessories and jewelry, I really wanted to dress her up in diamonds and pearls and gold.
Rarity's cutie mark is now a big single diamond with a dark purple thread spool and needle. The diamond representing her backstory where she found all those gems and got her cutie mark after using them in her design and the heart shape the dark purple thread makes, represents her big and generous heart.
🍎Applejack🍎
Applejack's coat is now a darker brown with patches of light brown and the orange from her canon design. She is also the second tallest of the group.
Her eyes are now a brighter leafy green.
Her mane and tail are now significantly shorter, in a more orangey tone of blonde as her tail is tied in a braid to help keep it neat and tidy during her farm work.
I added a red ribbon to her hat, which is now a darker shade of brown as well as gave her a handkerchief tied around her neck that has red and green plaid.
Applejack has a slightly bulkier body from all the apple bucking she's done around the farm.
Her cutie mark is now a heart shaped picnic mat with her three apples that are now three different colours to represent Apple Bloom, Big Mac and Granny Smith.
⚡️Rainbow Dash⚡️
Rainbow Dash is the shortest of the group, but of course is absolutely the fastest.
She now has a darker greyish blue coat with a lighter grey blue patches as well as light blue lightning and cloud patches all over.
Her wings are now bigger, this being something that has hindered her flying as a filly and made it hard for her to control her flying and crashing into things as a filly, being given the nickname 'Rainbow Crash'. But now her bigger wings help her fly faster than ever before, even helping her do the impossible Sonic Rainboom.
Her hooves are now a gradient from light blue to white to represent clouds.
She now wears goggles around her neck all of the time.
Her mane and tail are significantly shorter and in a cool swoopy sharp style, the rainbow in her mane and tail are a lot brighter now to make her stand out a lot more.
Her eyes are now a stormy grey to show off her aggressive nature while also being a perfect contrast to the rainbows in her designs.
Her cutie mark is now a giant rainbow lightning bolt in the middle of a ring of clouds and smaller rainbow coloured lightning bolts. This is to represent her ability to create a Sonic Rainboom.

i've been seeing a lot of people redesign the mane 6 and i wanted to take a crack at it. ponies brought me to tumblr so i guess it's going back to my roots lol
lil notes
my sexuality/gender headcanons for em are as follows: twi is questioning but knows she likes girls and guys, pinkie is pan, rd is a lesbian and sometimes uses he/him pronouns, applejack and rarity are both lesbians, and fluttershy is transfem and aroace!
fluttershy's bracelet was made by pinkie; the colors have faded over the years but it used to be bright pink, blue and white (it was a coming out gift)
rarity's glasses are held up by Weird Horse Magic. shhhhhhhh
even though applejack is the tallest in terms of posing, fluttershy's actually the tallest. rd and pinkie are tied for shortest
rd chopped most of her tail off because she figured it'd make her faster. that's her natural mane color, she frequently dyes her hair in various version of the 5 color rainbow
i gave twilight little ballet flats because i though it completed the "cozy nerd" vibe i was going for; her colors are a lot warmer to match the twilight time of day
pinkie is absolutely a raver. cmon she's the party horse
granny smith made applejack's shawl and she wears her mom's hat with her dad's bolo tie on the drawstring (or whatever the adjustable thing on a cowboy hat is called lol)
rarity and applejack are a couple. they are the lesbian aunts who buy you way too many christmas presents
twi and pinkie have a kind of will-they-won't-they thing going on, pinkie is largely oblivious to this and twilight is not subtle about her crush
rd and fluttershy still have known each other since they were kids, rainbow was the first person fluttershy ever came out to before she transitioned
