Honestly it kinda makes more sense for Fluttershy to be an earth pony and Pinkie to be a pegasus.

It does, but that's why I like them switching it around.

Lauren posted that image in September 2008.

Neat find, anon. this is probably the first video on youtube featuring a G4 character design
>>
>>43264480
Interesting stuff. On another note, I'm honestly glad the copyright issue happened because the new color palettes look way more pleasing than most of the G1 ones.
>>
>>43264499
Absolutely, the final versions have way more appeal.

I've seen it work before like that but it was a big channel and not some nobody.

If you put this in Wayback Machine it's a completely different video.
>>
>>43264614
Either way it doesn't apply to that video, they're just referencing an earlier video that's also still on their channel which doesn't yet have Faust's dA pics because it slightly predates them.

I worked with a kid around your age back at my old job. Fella was super into those chinese cartoons and would talk to me about them sometimes. I've never heard of the stuff he was watching, and the same was true for him whenever I would bring up the ones I used to watch.
That kid made me feel real fuckin old and so are you. Please stop.

Good luck to you guys.

Didn't Faust post the G4 designs way back in 2006 as G1 fanart?
>>
>>43265230
Oh and you must have hobbies to keep your morale up. Without hobbies that give you happy feels it's tough.
>>
>>43264457
Yeah, which is why I like that they're playing against their racial stereotypes rather than reinforcing them. You already have Applejack and Rainbow Dash to be the model earth and pegasus, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy offer the counterbalance.

Unlike Twilight and Rarity which both display both stereotypes of unicorns. Either scholars with magic, or stuck-up assholes.

Actually Ponkas sunny optimism and simple happy lifestyle makes it really cute and fitting for her to be an earth pony. Her and Applejack capture certain sides of Ponyville culture very very well and are excellent worldbuilding. Flutters though basically decided to live as a earth pony, connection to nature and all. (Pinkie has this too, given the beauty of nature is really empowering to her and the thing that caused her to wake up and become happy enough to get her cutie mark.)

There's another furry who had an alicorn OC back in 2007 btw.
There were pony fans before FiM. Always been.

>>43264480
That means she started working on the concepts years before. Who knows! 2002? 2003? What if MLP:fiM came out traditionally animated like Samurai Jack or Invader Zim?
>>
>>43266194
IZ had some 3D animation in it though.

Lauren once said that Hasbro hired her in response to the success of the first live-action Transformers movie in 2007. They wanted her to be the Michael Bay of My Little Pony.
>>
>>43266870
>They wanted her to be the Michael Bay of My Little Pony
she was rather successful in that rule desu
>>
>>43266387
I'm gonna guess early '09. '08 was Lauren coming up with stuff solo whereas '09 was when she started actually developing the show with others, and iirc Trixie was someone else's idea.
>>
>>43264457
I'd say Fluttershy is much better as a pegasus with her flighty personality and how she serves as a good foil to RD. RD and Pinkie both being Pegasi puts too much impulse energy in with wings. Having Pinkie serve as silly counter to AJ also makes Earth ponies so much more "we live a day at a time and enjoy each one" in different ways. Twilight and Rarity both being prim and proper with no solid foiling of the other's personality brings down unicorns to a stereotype that the other races don't get and why unicorns get flak for that.
>>
>>43264480
Some of the changes where magnificent.
I’d Rainbow Dash especially.
The blue+rainbow mane fits better the idea of her character.
And its also great how they changed her from the G3 version, where she was basically G4 Rarity with a wig.
Rainbow DASH as a name fits better for a sporty and bratty tomboy rather than an elegant stylist

Jesus CLOPPING christ!
So that hack managed to make something good despite it being completely unrelated with his shitty movies
>>
>>43267144
Bayformers trilogy and Prime were the second peak of the franchise, right after G1, you stupid nigger.
>>
>>43267144
The first movie was pretty neat, the effects also hold up incredibly.
>>
>>43266387
isnt old Trixie concept art when they had the idea that Trixie was a stallion first?
>>
>>43267766
Faust made Trixie a stallion, but Hasbro wanted her to be a mare.
>>
>>43267766
>>43267770
Trixie was never a stallion. The original script for Boast Busters was pitched to have a "boastful male unicorn" as the antagonist of the episode. Then Chris Savino came up with the idea for Trixie's character, and Lauren loved it so she changed the script. There was never a "male Trixie".
>>
>>43267886
I hope you're this same anon, because I've had your post screencapped since last year just in case I come across a retard who thinks Trixie was gonna have a cock.
