Original Description:
For the background on this piece: in 2012 there was no Equestria Girls. I had watched the entirety of MLP on YouTube that summer, and was practicing designing and drawing fashion. I created concepts for the fashion of each of the mane 6, as well as Celestia and Luna, which you can find here. When trying to think of projects to work on today, I decided I wanted to recreate these concepts in EQG style vectors!
The issue with these designs is that I created them with human skin tones, while the clothes are the shades of the ponies coats. So, if I go with normal EQG coloring it will look like they’re wearing the same colors as their skin is, and it would look weird. So I’m going to go with human skin tones, and if anyone has any issues with the races I choose, I won’t hesitate to delete your comments. Let’s keep it civil, everypony.
Applejack is up next! Figured it was a week before her day on EQD so it was a good time. I had a lot of problems with the original drawing but I was able to fix it once in Photoshop. Funny enough, her skin tone is just a darker version of her EQG color! Once you add the brown lines instead of orange, it just looks like she’s really tan, which was what I was going for because she works outside all the time.
I got to look up plaid flannel shirts to see how they work, and learn how flannel plaid patterns work as opposed to Twilight’s school uniform plaid. Then I just added jeans (WHY WON’T THEY GIVE HER PANTS IN THE MOVIES?!) and some unadorned boots - I do like the apples on her EQG ones.
I hope you enjoy, and please let me know what you think!
