Just a random base edit I thought of doing yesterday night.

This is one of the countless prototypes of a Minkie Pie redesign that I've tried to come up with. I have very few qualms with the original design, so you're never going to see any drastic changes from me.

I have a Muffins Rewrite planned right now, but I have no idea when I will actually start on it. I listed out a ton of story titles, and I've even made a Document analyzing all of my issues with Muffins and what I want to change. One of those things is how Minkie was handled. I can't decide if I want her to escape the cellar and get a cutie mark for lockpicking - which explains the unlocked padlock in this image - and the alternate option, where she dies in the cellar at a young age. I'm leaning towards the escape option, but as I said, I haven't decided yet, really.

Anyway, for the last couple days I've been curating a folder of Bases and Backgrounds and various assets to use in drawings. The process of looking through all that content inspired me to do some base edits again. So, I decided to use one of them to try my hand at redesigning Minkie's mane. I've got a lot of designs in my head, and this one is merely one of countless dozens I've drawn over the course of the last couple years.
