Gaines' canon character Redesigns

[Gaines 1,225]

Hello  Redesigning is fun
Here are some random pony makeovers:
Rainbow Dash (G4), Opaline (G5) and Twilight Sparkle (G4)
~

~
A lot of my redesigns might have pony traits from various generations, and will also often not have cutie marks (because I'm kind of lazy lol) I hope nopony minds 
"This design looks nothing like canon!" Don't care!  I get to draw cute ponies! 
Will add more to the thread soon

Edit 8/17/23: 
Now accepting requests! Specifically characters from G4 or G5

Those look really good! I look forward to Nightmare Moon and Sombra. I wonder how Starlight would look, too. 

Most curious for the Starlight one

"Thems fighting herd" art style?

Those are some good suggestions

New doodles!
Luna (might do Nightmare Moon later but who knows?) and Sombra

Tbh I wanted to add red, blue and yellow to Luna's color palette but couldn't make the colors match :/ so I settled for various shades of grayish-blue and made the gradient parts fade from green to yellow rather than pink/purple to yellow (which is what I originally intended to do, but it made her look more like a lava or sunset princess rather than a moon princess).
As for Sombra, that one theory that he's a Kirin is pretty cool! Made him look more thick and less fuzzy, way more unapproachable than the usual fluffy Kirin. I then tried to add the neon green to the color palette but it messed with my eyes too much so I just settled for red and purple. 
Voilà!
After finishing these two up I got too lazy to start on Starlight, whoops  Maybe next time!

Also if anyone notices that Luna looks more majestic than the earlier Twilight redesign, I plan to make my alicorn Twilight design just as cool 

[Gaines 1,225]

Hooray! Finally a few more redesigns:
Starlight Glimmer and Pinkie Pie

If you couldn't tell, I kinda like purple unicorns

Pinkie Pie as a unicorn, never thought of that before, I like it!

I thought it would be easier for her to make as many sweets and baked goods as she wanted if she was a unicorn

Accepting requests btw

How about Fluttershy as a unicorn?

Fluttershy is more of an earth pony to me  but I could still draw her!

Sunset Shimmer as an evil alicorn?

I'm not sure about an alicorn, but I can definitely draw her

Requests!
Sunset Shimmer and Fluttershy/Posey

I wonder what they're looking at
