Description We-he-heeeeellll! Long time no see, neh? :3

If some of you are wondering, my temporary absence had something to do with me going to the coast for a family vacation. And it was absolutely fun. It also helped inspire me to draw a lot more; I forced myself NOT to draw in order to give myself a break, and I'm just dying to dish some stuff out!

So as a warmup, here's a bit of a minidump of the CMC, showcasing the differences between the three breeds. I already showcased how I saw the unicorns with Rarity and Twi, so I'll be explaining how I see the pegasi and the earth ponies.

Let's start with the pegasi, yeah?

There wasn't much going on for the "traditional" pegasus; it's basically a horse with wings attatched to it. So, I figured the addition of feathers to their coats could look cool, and experimented with Scootaloo. The way I see it, the pegasi could possibly have feathers around the shoulders and the napes of their necks, around the flank and haunches, and finally, tail feathers. They can also possess lion-like tails, or just regular horse tails. c:

Of the three breeds, the pegasi would be the lightest. Their magic would mostly be concentrated in the wings and the hooves.

And earth ponies would generally be the biggest and heaviest of the three breeds. More often than not, they'd be pact with muscle and are considered the phyiscally strongest of the three breeds. Just how strong each individual pony is varies.

As for the girls themselves... Of the four, Babs would be the biggest, but she would be.... mmm, not chubby, but she doesn't have as much muscle definition as AB would have. Scootaloo would be the thinnest, but Sweetie would be the shortest and smallest. Both Scootaloo and Babs Seed would have tiny scars, Babs over her left eyebrow and Scoots on her chin, both of which were gained from encounters with bullies.

Also, the girls are a tiny bit older here, so Scootaloo's wings have finally developed well enough for her to be able to fly! They're thinner than the normal pegasus wing, but she'll eventually become a skilled flyer regardless. c:

Soooooo..... Eeyup. It's late, and I'm tired from all the driving I did, so my brain's barely responding. I don't think I have much else to say, so as always, if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Other than that, thank you guys for stopping by and taking a look. ^.^

Question: How do you perceive Scoots' wings looked like before they developed enough to fly?

EarthnAshes In reply to Apalority [2015-07-04 06:15:30 +0000 UTC]

In my headcanon Scootaloo never flies. She has a disability that prevents her from being able to fly; her wings are developed and strong enough to hover and glide for short periods of time, but actual sustained flight isn't possible for her.

EarthnAshes In reply to Apalority [2015-07-04 06:52:32 +0000 UTC]

Not really, since cancer isn't really a disability. Think... a handicap. Like being unable to walk without the support of something, like a cane or crutch.

GoBobe [2014-01-07 21:07:32 +0000 UTC]

erm, love these cuties a lot...but I have a question! Β *raises hand* Do you have a head-canon as to why scoots can't fly in the show yet?? Your theories are always so well thought out and i just would like your opinion... >///>

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

EarthnAshes In reply to GoBobe [2014-01-07 21:46:10 +0000 UTC]

I go back and forth, honestly. In one headcanon, she can't fly because she has some sort of birth defect, where her wings are simply too weak to support her in actual flight. Regardless of that, however, thanks to her friends and the advice from the Mane 6 (especially Rainbow and Fluttershy), Scootaloo will learn that being a flightless pegasus won't keep her grounded. She can do several amazing things that any other pony can't; for example, the way she handles her scooter is nothing but pure talent that even professionals would be envious of. She could be a pilot, still join the Wonderbolts if she so chooses, anything.


The second one has as having a sort of birth defect but able to beat it through sheer will power. This one is the type of story where a doctor says you can't, and you spend countless days and hours working at it until you show that it can happen if you have the heart to make it happen.


Either way, it'll turn out well for her.

I'm not sure on where you stand with people coloring your sketches, and I'm unsure if she got your permission to do so, but someone on tumblr took your sketch and colored it to match her theme. She linked back to the original, but did not state if she got permission or not.

It's no problem v__v that blog seems to be a fan of doing recolors and whatnot without permission, and I recognized your art immediately, even without the original link. Permission should always be asked first, because without it, you'd never know if someone did color it or not.

I like the idea of spreading feathers more. it always bothered me that they just start with the wings. I'm not sure about the tail though. sure, having them there makes a perfect sense (bird tails are needed after all) but it look sa little bit weird.
as for split hooves (or however those things are called in English) equines ave single hoof, that's one of their main defined characteristics, so...well.. yeah... not my thing really

and why is AB doing the EW! face? <_<

EarthnAshes In reply to Adalbertus [2013-09-30 13:18:42 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!


This was among the first times I drew tail-feathers for the ponies, so it does look a bit weird here. I've slowly gotten better at it though. c:


As for the cloven hooves, I always sorta liked them because unicorns had them, and equine having them kinda makes them feel more magical to me. Not all of the ponies will have them, though. x3


And AB has EW face because..... because.... uh.... Maybe a colt wanted to give her a kiss and she's still in the "kootie" stage? o3o
