Somepony dumped a lotta glitter on Dashie's wings

They didn't even try with her tail. Solid blue? Really?

Pony figma/revoltech? Do want.

Chokogin might be overkill though.

Applejack, with real bucking action!

Twilight Sparkle, with real horn-blasting action!

Pinkie Pie, with real fourth-wall-breaking coming-to-life action!

[up]GIMME THAT PINKIE

Yeah yeah I know they don't make these for us. But it would be cool to have more points of articulation and some solid hair.

At least one of them had better have a Chinese Throwing Croissant or Smells Like Peanut Action.

Those Crystal Motion brushables aren't the only new toys; there's also this upcoming Walmart-exclusive Pinkie Pie & Friends Mini Collection. Besides four of the Mane Six, it's got G4 versions of the eight G3 ponies Dainty Daisy, Kiwi Tart, Peri Winkle, Pick-a-Lilly, Rainbow Swirl, Seascape, Star Dasher, and Waterfire.

And yeah, the Shine Bright brushables had movable legs first. Also, I wouldn't be so sure about Crystal Motion Applejack and Rainbow Dash's translucent animal friends actually being Winona and Tank—they've made a Palette Swap of Winona before, and one of the previous two turtles is officially identified as such (rather than being identified as a tortoise like Tank is).

As for Crystal Motion Rainbow Dash's hair, it's a red/orange/yellow/green mane and a blue/purple tail, like on the other brushable toys of her.

Smells like peanut sounds more like a non-action.

Rarity, with real gem-finding action! (Gem detector not included.)

Look, it's art! My art!

This is a new version of Aerobat, my crews ace flier. I looked at the dark eldar of 40k for inspiration on him. As you can see, he's got the bat wings and cat eyes of all Pegasi Night Ponies...but the little fangs are his family's trademark. I needed the mane to suggest speed, and that tail is styled into a scimitar shape I thought would suit him well. He still hasn't got a cutie mark yet, as that is way too important to rush.

Thoughts? I'm still finding my drawing skills, and its all very rough WIP atm. His coat colour will be red btw.

Looks good, Applelight!

P.S. - It could be a running joke that those he meets keep asking him if he's a vampire.

I promise that I'm done editing this post, unless I'm not. tongue

Nice, and well-played.

Looks good for a rough-draft, and the scimitar shaped tail is a nice touch.

Thank you guys!

@ Syd

Lol, that could work!

@ Mio

It is isn't it? Is that a positive thing or a negative thing?

Glad you like the tail too.

Also, if anyone spots anything wrong with it, please say so.

[up]I'm honestly not sure. The additional points on his ears makes his mane seem more "DBZ-esque" than it probably is. It would probably look better from a different angle and/or when if it were colored.

I could change it for a more standard male Wonderbolt do. But I'll be honest...I actually wanted him to look slightly anime.

I like the mane and tail the way they are.

Any thought yet on a coat and mane/tail color?

I definitely like the look. He needs a cutie mark, though.

I really like the tail.

Did the early MLP inspire some of Anime's stylistic choices, or did Anime inspire a few of the stylistic choices of the early MLP show(s)?

Coat colour is red. Because its a good racer colour. evil grin

Eyes will probably be gold. They were originally red, but I had a thought. Mane and tail will be midnight blue with a white stripe.

Hey Applelight *hugs Applelight* Good ot see you buddy.

Nice job on Aerobat. Wasn't expecting that hairstyle though, seems a bit much, but whatever floats yer boat. Hind legs are a bit weird, but I have trouble with them too. Practice and all that nonsense.

@ ATC: That would be a good question for Lauren Faust, since the final character designs have a lot in common with her early design sketches.

OK, I hear what you all say about the hair. Will work on that.

Also, that was drawn without an anatomy guide...so yeah, need one of those asap.

The "anime" style originates with Astro Boy in the 1950's IIRC, so it definitely came first.

@ATC, Anime was influenced by a lot of western stuff but I'm not sure where early MLP fits into that. I think one can say that there are some anime influences in G4, some of Faust's art has Powerpuff Girls in there which was directly inspired by chibi-style anime a characters.

I think it's all cyclical, you really can't trace a proper influence.
