Artist’s comment from DA:

A quick little experiment I threw together for two things. The first thing is to act as a simplistic reference for my headcanoned version of the MLP cast. Secondly, and mostly, I’d love to try and animate little fan thingies with the characters but keeping my own headcanon intact as far as their designs go, so this is mostly a reference test for a animateable design. I wanted to do something relatively easy and quick to draw but still keep my own style true to it, and this is what I ultimately came up with for Twilight. I might tweak her, but for now I think she looks good. :3 I’ll say more but I have to go to class so for now, this is good enough. Until then I hope you guys like! ^.
