artist's description:

I don't draw horses, and I haven't been interested in MLP: FIM in literal years, and yet I was possessed by the want to redesign the main six in how I would design them myself.

Some notes I guess???
- the image is going from tallest member to shortest, even if its just by a small bit of height
- applejack's hair is shorter to keep from being in the way of work, and is decorated with two little ribbons from her sister Applebloom. probably has sleep and soreness issues.
- rarity has vitiligo stylized myself in the shape of diamonds, which she takes with pride. she is considered part of the societally beautiful type of unicorn
- fluttershy probably has some donkey in there with her ears. honestly not too much to note with her? I would like to imagine her body just isnt super built for flying and maybe deals with chronic fatigue <3
- twilight absolutely cannot see without those glasses poor girl. read in the dark way too often way too much. Keeps her mane somewhat short but the longest bits are tied in a very messy bun.
- rainbow absolutely is just the most reckless dumbass, which we already know from the show. Short tail is genetic, side shave is for fun.
- pinkiepie is actually albino! which leads to her dying her fur fun colors because why not. if her hair isn't tied its often in her face. textured fur, probably the most textured mane out of the main six.

as these are technically redesigns of actual characters in media, feel free to just use these designs or even just the art if you want i dont particularly care.
