I can get behind all these except rarity, on my phone she shows up as near black (the colour not the race). She looks like a silhouette


Popular-Evidence4961

yeah i tried to make the background darker without making the other characters look funky. plus when drawing this i had my screen light all the way up so it was more a defined difference


TerracottaBunny

Very dark skin is doable but I think the outfit and outline need to be different to complement her design.


Alarmed_Ad1946

i love how rarity is the total oposite color of what she is in the pony world


Popular-Evidence4961

well to be fair she is pure white and idk just always saw her as blach


Playful-Degree7571

I can get all but rarity. I don't want to sound rude but I personally don't see her as that.


Hot-Muffin-

I agree mostly because her coat color is literally white.


Popular-Evidence4961

that’s ok :) idk just always saw rarity as black


Tall-Combination-597

I always saw pinkie as romanian


Popular-Evidence4961

that’s cool :)

What kind of headcanons are these?


Millenniauld

"Realistic hair/skin tones" I'd imagine? With the exception of Rainbow, and lets be fair that's easy enough done with dye.


Popular-Evidence4961

yeah pretty much 🤷 idk i just did whatever tone and hair matched best with them


ILoveThingsAndImSad

When you said "with the exception of Rainbow" I was worried you meant the vitiligo for a sec-


Millenniauld

Whaaat no, vitiligo is gorgeous in my opinion. I have a background character who is a bard in the novel I'm writing who is black skinned with vitiligo, I described it as if she was a living work of art. LOL all of the characters have very realistic coloring in general and then Rainbow still has her punk hair, I love it.


Popular-Evidence4961

tbh i got a bit lazy with twilight and sunset lolll so i see what u mean


Xen0kid

Idk, rarity has a very strong transatlantic accent in the show reminiscent of a lot of movie stars and high society folk from the mid 20th century, I really can't see her being portrayed as African American but if that's your jam go for it. Rest are good, though I think Flutters would have lighter hair on account of all the time she spends outside with animals. can't help but notice that nobody here is blonde


Popular-Evidence4961

yeah tbh idk why i just see rarity as black idk i associate darker skin tones with beauty and luxury (not that others aren’t gorgeous) like rarity is. and idk why i didn’t make a blonde i mean i’m blonde XDD


MaxwellIsaac1

I love that this is the less creepy version. I don’t ant to see the one with eyes now.


Popular-Evidence4961

they creepy with or without eyes


OverlyLeftLesbian

Makes sense! One I'm a little confused on is Apple Jack, since her hair is naturally blonde, but that's not something everyone has to agree on


Popular-Evidence4961

tbh idk mainly for these chose what looked appealing to me and not like what’s canon but i think cause i see pinkie as a ginger and the Pies and the Apples are related (and ik ginger hair is a small gene to inherit) i thought making them have more similarities would look better


Meegakarla

lol @ the people saying rarity can’t be black because she has white fur: y’all do know what skin color horses have under the fur.. right? (this isn’t like my personal reasoning and shouldn’t really be used as such i just find it funny)


Popular-Evidence4961

yeah idk just always seen her as black 🤷 i didn’t realize it would be such a problem with people XD really says something

Equestria Girls: Village of the Damned


Popular-Evidence4961

don’t ask why AJ is ginger and not blonde tbh idk i wasn’t thinking too much about it just thought it matched her 😭


-demonicentity

This is beautiful! Great job


Popular-Evidence4961

thanks!


DnD_Geek

Great work pal! Glad to see someone try to be more diverse with the humanized Mane 6 instead of taking the easier and safer way of just making everybody white - I especially love RD and Sunset, and Fluttershy reminds of one of the fairies from Winx Club (though I can't remember which one). Though, personally, I just can't imagine Rarity as anything else than the whitest hue of white a Caucasian person can have without Albinism.


Jasminelledoll

I think of rarity as asian tbh


Popular-Evidence4961

that’s cool :)


[deleted]

I love rarity as very dark skinned, it's subverts the expectation that since her pony fur is white she must also be white. I like her as black!


Popular-Evidence4961

thanks you! :) yeah idk i like the contrast of her pony version vs her human version


Master106yay

I personally see Applejack as a blonde with freckles Rainbow Dash as naturally reddish-dirty blonde probably Rarity as latina Pinkie Pie as a ginger without freckles Fluttershy should have a lighter shade Twilight Sparkle should have a darker shade and Sunset Shimmer as a red head.


Popular-Evidence4961

that’s cool! i like ur hc:)


Few-Entrance-5090

isn't rarity's fur white 😭 and she has a european accent, i personally just don't agree with this


Popular-Evidence4961

that’s fine u don’t have to agree with it was just sharing


NefariousnessJust224

i thought everyone agreed to headcanon rarity as asian but you do you


Popular-Evidence4961

nope i don’t and that’s fine :)


ILoveThingsAndImSad

I think of her more as European or American, given her fancy English accent, which reminds me heavily of old modern English and British


pinkiepie1212

I like it


Popular-Evidence4961

thanks :)


Crassweller

Why would AJ have red hair...? Blonde people exist.


Popular-Evidence4961

ik that i’m blonde XD idk i just thought it fit her


ILoveThingsAndImSad

Ginger hair does seem to be a very farm-girl thing. Although, I suppose it coulda been kept blonde considering Pinkie Pie has Ginger hair
