Description:
Now for the babies, currently the youngest of Mac and Fluttershy’s children, for a few more months at least: sixth and seventh, Summer Breeze and Crabapple Cider. Yes, another set of fraternal twins.
There shouldn’t be too much to talk about Summer Breeze’s design. He has Fluttershy’s coat color, Mac’s eye color, and a slightly lighter orange mane than Mac’s. When I sketched him out he was originally going to pull some colors from Grand Pear, but I realized when I went to finalize the design I had come a little to close to Pound Cake’s color palette for my liking so I scrapped it. The only thing left of that design is that little tuft tail he has. Otherwise his mane is just a spin on Big Mac’s with hopefully enough changed to not be a carbon copy of it. I wanted to give him a name more in line with Fluttershy’s family to break the Apple and miscellaneous names. Fluttershy and Zephyr breeze didn’t give me much to go on, but the flying/wind synonyms was enough to come up with Summer Breeze.
Crabapple Cider just got that name because crabapple is a lesser used oc name and adding cider to the end of it helped personalize it a little more, plus cider being a historic use for crabapples. Her coat color is her dad’s mane color, her mane color is a lighter almost orange pink from her mom’s mane, her mane style is another shaggier take on Fluttershy’s mane style, and her eye color is also from Big Mac except with a little less yellow and a little more blue. I moved a freckle around from the usual three-next-to—the-eye pattern to make her appearance just a little more interesting. I don’t know why she’s sticking her tongue out, I thought it’d be cute. Maybe she’s just feeling… crabby.
