Ah, could be wrong. But I heard the designs for EG were released.

RE: Equestria Girls — The characters keeping their original coloration looks awkward, but I think there's a very good reason for it. Since the beginning of the show, the fan artists have been imagining what the Mane Six would look like as humans, including their skin color. Hasbro would rather avoid having to provide a canonical realistic answer to that question, because of the inevitable Fan Dumb eruption that would follow:

TWILIGHT'S NOT BLACK SHE'S ASIAN

WHY THE FUCK IS RAINBOW DASH HISPANIC

TWILIGHT'S NOT ASIAN SHE'S BLACK

I DON'T KNOW WHO'S THE BIGGER RACISTS, YOU GUYS OR HASBRO

WHAT THE HELL IS FLUTTERSHY SUPPOSED TO BE

RARITY ISN'T WHITE SHE'S ASIAN

RARITY ISN'T ASIAN SHE'S BLACK

Until you consistently hear more talk about How Much This Sucks than about How Awesome It Is That It Even Exists, it's not a real fandom.

We saw Twilight's. She's skinny and curvy, purple tinted skin, same eyes and ears as her pony self, and her CM has been moved to her clothes. She's got a shirt and skirt, and boots. Seems to be hit and miss.

And she still has wings in human form for some reason.

The way I misread that, I thought we were going to the Weird Place again. tongue

I'm glad they went with putting the symbol on her wardrobe, though. Cheek tattoos looked hella weird.

Hmm, makes a kind of sense. Also, great idea for the Mark to be on the clothes.

edit: Wait, wings! No, Hasbro, turn back. Turn back before it's too late.

Personally I've never gotten the fuss over what race the girls are Humanized as... but I don't get why nobody ever makes Dash greek. I mean seriously!

@ keg

Very true. Hell, FS should probably be greek too!

Also, do you think the shaved mane look worked?

@Kegisak: I don't get it either. I mean, I have my preferences for what I think they'd look like, but if somebody else wants to draw them differently, let them. But yeah, it was probably a good call for the show to avoid opening that can of worms altogether. And for what it's worth I actually do see Dash as Greek; I just can't draw so it never comes up.

@Applelight: I like the "shaved" design. Looks good.

@Apple: I think it looks good, though I'll admit I really did like his dreds. Still, if ill-tempered he be, skinhead may be the best bet, heh.

@ Keg

Thank you. smile

Would keeping the dreads on the tail work for you?

EDIT:

God it's good to be drawing again. Shame I'll have to give it up again soon for a while but...enjoy it while you can I guess.

I guess I'd need to see it to be sure, but it certainly sounds like it'd work.

Mental image: Rainbow Dash as Artemis.

Artemis, goddess of the hunt

Humanized RD should be called Diana, if she isn't still called Rainbow Dash. tongue

While we're on the Greek theme, Twilight or Celestia would make an excellent Athena.

If we're going with Roman, then Luna would be Diana.

Or if we're going into others, she'd be good as Inanna.

I was under the impression that the Greek and Roman gods were identical, just given different names. That is to say, there's no difference between Artemis and Diana.

True for the most part, but the Romans also adapted gods from several other religions as well. But the conversions were always direct, from what I understand.

@apple: actually, i find drawing is great for venting pent-up rage without breaking anything.
