Redesigning The Cast of G5 My Little Pony

[@SugarSpice07]

Yay! G5 has so much missed potential and the designs feel so... Disney-ified? Edit: About the cutie marks. I remember thinking the same thing about g5 ponies not having them and was actually genuinely disappointed when I realized they DID. I thought it would've been a really cool idea to see them all earn their cutie marks and figure out who they are. But alas. No such luck. Another missed opportunity.

[@voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix]

The idea that ponykind’s magic being gone ALSO would strip them of their magical ability to gain cutie marks would’ve been really cool. And given Misty a considerably better reason to believe only Opaline could give her a cutie mark, instead of “well, she said that’s how it works” And an episode centered around each new main character getting their cutie mark now that magic is back would’ve been EASY episode fodder for exploring & getting the audience attached to each individual. Hells’ kelp, I _really_ like that idea now…

[@itsdianabruh8035]

I totally agree, I think gen 5 pales in comparison to gen 4, We got to learn and grow with gen 4 and it feels like gen 5 we were almost expected to already know who they all were

[@peachfroggg_]

would even make the tagline 'make your mark' make more sense for the generation

[@Tiger54658]

hang on hang on, people were UPSET about the classic unicorn tail?? Excuse me??? That's my favorite part about redesigned mlp! I LOVE unicorn tails, they're so whimsical!

[@byrrnitdown]

I was coming down here to say that exact thing!

[@Ch3eSy_Cheesecake]

I literally started looking through the twilight redesign because I was surprised too!! Didn’t end up finding anything tho and ended up too lazy to keep looking I used to hate those tails because they reminded me of rats but they grew on me

[@voilet-the-non-violet-vulpix]

WHAT Practicality EVERY fanmade redesign back in gen4 had them! This is what the fans were asking for!

[@azalea_siren]

Agreed

[@mjangelvortex]

Those types of tails have both a lot of supporters and a lot of detractors. One of the big reasons why people don't like them is it just makes the characters feel a bit less like horses.

[@zplazma5557]

The simplified hair in modern designs I think is because old character designs had stationary and coloring books in mind, newer designs have to have plushies and 3d models in mind

[@TheRealLilyOfTheValley]

My mom thought Sunny was Scootaloo. We were watching G5 in the bg at our daycare, and I was complaining about how similar they were *both in appearance & personality*. She goes "...that's NOT her?" No, momma, that's not.

[@sweetdreams1028]

I know Scootaloo can’t fly either, but come on she still has wings unlike Sunny😝

[@TheRealLilyOfTheValley]

@sweetdreams1028 i had to look that up bc I swore to GOD Sunny got wings at one point lmao But like u see where mom got confused right

[@zulaikaali4101]

You can use the two hair for Hitch. One for work and other when he is rest... or he changed it later in movie or seasons.

[@puredemon5926]

Or maybe he flips it for pictures lol.

[@drawsfelix]

Hey, fellow artist here! Sometimes artists are hired because of their art imitating existing styles. So while I absolutely encourage drawing in your style, it's not the 3nd of the world if you perfect a few other ones!

[@ophelia5240]

She's not drawing in her original style. She kind of made up one that is easily animated but also still looks like horses

[@RCOLLINS1446]

@drawsfelix I completely agree!

[@PWNDON]

i heard 3nd as friend in my head

[@mm1234Xxx]

When I went into animation, that was one of the things they looked for. They loved seeing me draw my oc in 20 different styles. Not every project you work on is going to be similar to your own style, so showing you are adaptable is a huge bonus. This even goes for character design.

[@RCOLLINS1446]

I like it when you replicate a show’s artstyle for a redesign, it’s easier to see what’s a stylistic choice and what’s an actual change. I’m pretty sure some companies want an artist who can draw in a range of art styles.

[@CosmiccNova]

Cali mentioned Strawberry Shortcake and UGHHHH don’t get me started on the regression. 2003 is undefeated.

[@monbub]

2009 is the cutest in my opinion but I might be biased because it's the one I grew up with and had dolls of. But I just love the shade of pink they used for her and she looks so pretty!

[@FloridaPerson]

I think that 1991 is the cutest idk why

[@CLOUDSTAR48]

[@pinkerhero]

I paused on that screen for a while, thinking about my scented plush doll I had as a youngling. I'd untie the waist thing and try to put it on her, sniff and squish her hat/head, and it came with a red strawberry necklace. aaah yummy nostalgia!! 🥺

[@luckystar12356]

One thing I've notice about Gen 5 naming is that it's a bit too real. Izzy Moonbow, Hitch Trailblazer, and Pipp Petals, while not bad names, it's just a mouthful for anyone to be saying over and over again. For example you wouldn't say "Do you understand the the math problem Stephani Renie?" you'd probably would say "Do you understand the the math problem Stephani?" Compared to names like Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, and Rainbow Dash, where it's their first and last name (Although there are people who belive that it's just their first names), it easy enough for a character like Rarity to address them by their full name, while others might address them as Pinkie, Apple, and Rainbow. This isn't to say you shouldn't name characters like Gen 5's, we have cases like Twighlight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer being addressed by their first names, while only being addressed by their full names on special occasions (i.e: Introductions, ceromonious, or confrontation). If it were up to me I would change some of the Gen 5 names. It wouldn't be grand changes, just flipping their names around or removing their first/last name. Like I would take away Hitch's first name and address him as Trailblazer, his nicknames (as corny it might sound) could be Blaze or Blazer. Zipp and can be just be Princess Zephyrina and Pipp can be Princess Petal Pipp, so that they can keep their Pipp and Zipp nicknames. That's just how I would do it, I'm sure someone could come up with a way better solution to this.

[@somerandomdude7785]

My version of the G5 naming conventions will have fantasy first names & object & trait-related surnames. For example: Sola Starforce Aram Pathfinder Izi Nightshade Palana Perseverance Zara Stormrise

[@georgiag8647]

i really dislike their names, they sound like strange names id name my fantasy characters in when i’m 10 and think i’m a brilliant and original author. the names don’t sound magical at all and their power based names sound silly mixed with the more realistic names. overall just sounds silly and makes me cringe when i hear their names. then again i haven’t watched it so maybe i’ll get used to it - a lover of mlp ponies and shows

[@ovoanaestheticovo3740]

@@somerandomdude7785 sounds nice, but no kid would ever say "perseverance", they have to be kid friendly names and catchy, none of these are very good for ponies

[@sillycritter]

they're never called by their full names in the show, they're usually only called by their full names in merchandise

[@FALLOWSPROUT]

I feel like a lot of people say "oh you didn't give G5 a chance!" when in reality, we did :( honestly the writers/producers blew it. G5 is supposed to be a spinoff of G4, but there are so many plot holes and just overall rushed writing to a point where G4 doesn't feel like it's own spinoff, it feels like it's own separate generation. I know it's a show for kids, but from what I grabbed, G5 was supposed to be tailored to G4 enjoyers and a new demographic, therefore making more money, which is a good strategy! but they just aren't doing it right and there's a lot of aspects of the show that just confuse me to a point where I'm like "this just does not feel like It's tied to G4"

[@sillycritter]

i gave g5 a chance i love it and i would never go back the plot holes are really not that bad as you might think, and even though it takes place in the same universe as g4 it doesn't feel like it's trying to milk its success to me, it feels like its own thing the writers did a good job imo, it has problems but i can't bring myself to hate it, it's a fun guilty pleasure but i do genuinely love it

[@AineAmber]

Fun fact: I literally screamed "Wait, they had Cutie marks?????". I guess, it all speaks for itself about G5...

[@CammyFrostbite14]

To me, saying "don't bring politics into (insert thing here)" is just another way of saying "I'm afraid of voicing my own thoughts so I'll let other people do the talking for me". Nothing good ever comes from letting other people do the talking for you. Love the redesigns BTW, they look way more horselike. If these were real toys I'd buy them myself

[@monbub]

I love how you changed hitch and zip's manes! they suit them so much better and are actually cool looking. I really didn't like how zip's hair looked like a dollop of toothpaste on her head 😭

[@bananaanimations2003]

Thank you for speaking about Palestine. One of my friends is Palestinian and her grandparents just managed to escape the tyranny decades ago, I'm very lucky to have her in my life let alone in America. Free Palestine 🇵🇸

i ADORE that the characters are still so recognizable and the designs only ever ADD than take away. I REALLY cant express how AMAZING this looks!

[@scorchinganimationsstudios8450]

Okay I have no idea if you redesigned the main villain or not but like I need to vent about opaline SHE LOOKS LIKE A FREAKING GRANDMA Like I have no idea why they decided to give her that design a dark body with white hair and cyan highlights not to mention her hair it does not go at all with her ears like why are they braided around her ears isn't that uncomfortable!? Its like if they wanted to go the sweet manipulative villain route they should have gone with a white coat and dark purple hair with cyan highlights and maybe don't braid her hair around her ears On the contrary if they wanted it to be obvious she was a villain a dark purple coat with cyan hair I believe would have been better then f****** white hair what the hell were they thinking and still that hairstyle would not work All they had to do was swap around the colors a little bit like what the hell!? Oh and of course change the hairstyle Thanks for coming to my TED talk I shall now watch the video

[@noodleydoo2862]

I actually disagree with you- her colors are fine and could work easily, it’s her texture, design and hairstyle that sucks. The braids are awful (like you mentioned) but she’s also weirdly textured in a way that makes her hair look more grey than white. Her bangs are strange as well.

[@OlympiaTopazfire]

Her mane looks like croissants to me 😭

[@Jayden-on-pawzz]

@@OlympiaTopazfire frrr

[@nobodishere]

Yes make a video on unicorn academy! I've seen the trailer, might watch it thanks to you! Edit: also when g5 was first coming out, there were some theories that Pipp had underdeveloped wings and wouldn't be able to fly - I'm honestly kind of dissapointed her cute fluffy wings (as pretty as they are) were just a design choice. It would've been so interesting seeing a pegasus who didn't regain flight after the rest of her kind did. Wishful thinking, wishful thinking.

Tbh I like how your redesign of hitch gave me swift wind vibes and I like it!

[@Duckkis]

Now you've got me missing some gorgeous mane-flipping action from Hitch. It's something I didn't know I needed until now. I've been getting much more into G5 this past week and a half despite having already been vibing the songs from the movie for the longest time. And since I began spending more time watching clips from Make Your Mark, it's safe to say that Hitch has become my favorite character of this gen. Still, I do greatly enjoy all of the mane cast. And of course they all look incredible the way you've drawn them! I love that Izzy's design takes inspiration from the Friesian horses, I think it definitely suits her really well. Pipp is gorgeous and I love the unique fluffy wings so much. And, I don't like their 2D designs, either. They're all wrong, especially the faces and I'm pretending they don't exist.

[@Kat_The_Hat]

I can't be the only one who has always thought that Zip looks like she has a glob of toothpaste on her head?

[@jedyoung767]

I’m kind of working on a spin-off to Winx Club, but when I did the art for them, I didn’t use the art style from Winx Club, because I could only do it for the girls. I couldn’t do it for the guys.

[@Bluetiful_]

Hasbro could've went all out on Pipp's eyes. Like make them pop like Rarity's

[@AuroraMoon2000]

On pip petals being an influencer, I agree with you that they shouldn't be using slang we'd be using and stuff. like you say it instantly dates them. But I don't mind her being an influencer as long as they were making made-up slang a horse might make. in G4 they all had those punny horse-related stuff, so why not in G5, right? for example a equersitan influencer might say stuff like: Hoof-tag in place of hashtags, and they could even show on the tv show the # icon being replaced by a U shaped thing that represents a hoofprint tag. or even better, refer it to as a hoof bump instead as they'd be "bumping" the topics that they are interested in the most, etc. It could be an catch-all term-- like how friends give each other hoof-bumps, online people give each other digital hoof bumps if they like something. and by using the horse version of hashtags, you are also giving the topic a bump. They're horses, they should act and think like it. they wouldn't use human terms after all. XD So Pip Petals should say stuff like: "Thanks for all the online hoofbumps, darlings! that concert was really last-minute, but I decided to just gallop with it, you know? and I'm really glad I did because that last song was a real harmony hit!"

@@callimara This is something I've realized we artists tend to do a lot, for some reason we can't recognize our own art style while our friends or anyone who looks at our art recognizes it immediately! Even when we try to imitate another art style a little bit of ourselves show just enough to make it recognizable. I'm still struggling with this lol, but looking at my insta page after a few months of not drawing I can clearly see that I do actually have a style, I just didn't notice it before

Especially Pipp and Hitch, definitely an upgrade I think your art style is very recognizable and different enough to stand out, but it's cool to try new things and find what makes you confortable as a content creator and artist (maybe I'm going through a similar process with my drawings too, relearning everything I thought I knew)

replicating art styles is actually a very valuable skill! it shows flexibility when working on different projects, and looks good on work resumes if you ever wanted to work on several different shows or movies

[@awesomepbear233]

I was thinking the same thing about the G5 names! I thought it was interesting that they seem to have first names and last names, while some characters in G4 only have one word names like Rarity or Fluttershy. Even G5 names made of two words felt like those words were related to add to the pony's "theme". I think that adds to the humanization of the ponies in G5 where they now kind of have first and last names. It feels weird to refer to a person by their full name, so you normally just use the first name.

[@PrinceVoid]

One of the problem I have from zipp storm is her cutie mark, throughout the show it shows zipp being a detective a Even in her cutie mark story is about her solving a mystery yet her cutie mark isn’t related to being a detective but because she did some tricks she got her cutie mark

[@bluetheblue4179]

To work on big companies, you NEED to be able to replicate the artstyle for the property they want you to design for. Look at League of Legends' splash art. They all have the same art style, but many are made by different artists. There needs to be a cohesive style for the branding, so the fact you can adapt for so many different looking shows is honestly quite incredible!

[@justtired2050]

In regard to the bit at the end about your style vs a more “on model” approach, I like how OwONekko did specifically her Helluva Boss redesigns. She does the main design in her own style, and at the end makes a smaller quicker drawing of how her design might look in the style of the show. She doesn’t do all of her redesigns that way, but I thought it might be a good compromise between developing and demonstrating your own artistic vision and challenging yourself to draw and give tips for drawing in more canon-adherent styles. Also she’s a really cool creator and I think more people should watch her videos, so if you watch her redesigns and take some inspiration that’s a double win XD I enjoy your redesigns either way though, and for the record I definitely see your art as having a distinct style, but if you want to work on developing your style more that’s cool!

[@SmolWolfess]

amazing redesigns~ concerning your worries about artstyle: it's good to have a "toolbox" of different styles and be able to adapt to things as needed! and you still have your personal note on even your different artstyle pieces imo. very detailed eyes, something about the shape and length of limbs, lips (for humans, lol)... so don't be too concerned :3

[@mer_acle8101]

The artstyle thing made me think about Lavender Towne, she's always doing things in her own artstyle no matter the source material, and I've always loved that about her, so if that's the direction you want to go with, all the power to you :D

[@ghoultooth]

My main issue is how jellybean-shaped the current designs are. They don’t even really look like ponies!

[@sillycritter]

neither did the g4 characters but you don't see anyone complaining about that

[@tc4331]

22:27 Well, not all the ponies are referred to by their full name. Occasionally yes, but mostly by the nickname or first name. Like Twilight Sparkle, she's mostly referred to as Twilight. And then there's Princess Cadence, her full name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Guess it depends on their names too much of a mouthful or other reasons. I'm not an artist, but I feel like if you're going to redesign characters from a fandom, try to keep it faithful and when it's your own work, do it in your own style. If you feel like branching out your style to other fandoms, maybe do a fandom where there is no exact style if you're doing HUMAN designs. Like Cookie Kingdom, if you want to make a human version, use your style. Also, the talent of imitating an art style is just as important as having your own if you want to be hired for things like a show. It shows not just your skill by observing your own style, but you're flexible in switching art styles. Again, I'm not an artist so this is just my opinion as an observer.

[@Kaegrowler]

With regard to art style and pursuing a professional art career, there's benefits to both flexing your own and working with others. Showing that you can operate in multiple styles will tell prospective employers that you're flexible and can work on their project, regardless of what it is. That flexibility is a big draw for big studios who work with variable styles depending on the project and need to have dozens of people working together to create a consistent final product. But having a strong style of your own makes you more appealing as an individual, which is a huge draw for smaller projects where you have a smaller team to coordinate, and especially indie projects where a distinct and unique style is part of the appeal. Art styles are one of the most intimidating and confusing aspects of the modern art scene, and it gets more complicated as you take different mediums into account...I got no useful advice on what to do about it, but it sure is a struggle.

[@CCG15thelocalpieceofpaper15]

It's kinda funny that Pipp has the interesting design and yet is one of the most hated characters due to the simple fact that she's obsessed with social media. Now that we're on that topic, I really just hate how modernized G5 is with its technology. It loses that fantasy element that G4 had, though the modern-day feel work in Equestria Girls because it's supposed to be this real-time high school setting. Here, it just looks over the top and really just hammers home the idea that "modern kids' shows isn't relatable until social media is thrown in," which is really dumb. I mean, is it really that hard to just NOT do that? Granted, I've only seen the new generation movie and not MYM or TYT, but still. It's like the ponies are ponies, but they live in the Equestria Girls universe. Really, the biggest problem G5 has is that its entire existence ruins the legacy of G4, and it just makes fans prefer G4 over G5. Like you said in your first G5 video, Hasbro shot themselves in the foot by making this a sequel to G4 instead of trying to make it it's own thing, but by doing that they just ruined everything G4 set out to do. In my opinion, if Hasbro really wanted to make MLP content thats still contained inside the G4 universe then why not makes some movies or specials filling in some of the mysteries fans have about the show? E.g. Celestia and Luna's/Cadence's backstory that's NOT relegated to the comics/books because I've not read a single book and it would be nice to get some answers to questions that's been left up SOLELY to speculation in the fandom

You know, I gave that new unicorn show a pass before, but after hearing a good review of it I'm interested in it again lol. As for MLP G5, I wish they didn't go with those faces either. It's uncanny but it's also looking like every other cartoon these days. I wish people weren't afraid to be different like Gen 4 was. That was part of the joy for Gen 4. It has such a unique and cute art style. It feels like 2d cartoons are trying to copy each other these days in hopes of the same success. But it actually does the opposite. *Also I love watching redesigns in any form. I'd love to see your own style too! I think either way is fine, but it is good to try and form your own style too. But art is subjective and there aren't any _real_ rules to it. Just theories and trends mostly. So try not to feel too pressured to do one thing or the other. Just do what _you_ feel like doing.🙂

These are amazing!! I think your Hitch and Izzy redesigns might be my favorites but they're all gorgeous!

[@brianahawkins8124]

All five look perfect in your sketch work.

[@ihatemyself8720]

I genuinely think if G5 was in your designs, it would’ve been a success, these are amazing designs!

[@MonitorMuse]

I think you would fall in love with the Wild Mane horse designs.

[@Sara67271]

[@MarielWhalley]

[@jonelrobinson7432]

What I love to do with my art is draw one in my own style, and then a like style near the shows, it helps me develop skills :)

31:08 ok that was deep, I have the same issue, I want to improve my style but at the same time I love trying others styles (emphasis on trying 😅) and feel kinda frustrating when doesn't look like the others or frustrating when mine doesn't look unic

[@Alexandr_the_great]

Oh dont be scared to draw fandom art in your style. It may feel risky but really ppl love variety and creativity and I am sure your art style could bring another element to the characters they didnt have yet
