Well, here goes nothing. This is my interpretation of Polites from EPIC: The Musical as a pegasus. Reasoning for him being a pegasus? I thought it would look cool if I were to recreate Open Arms in the MLP universe. Especially with him and Unicorn Odysseus.

Now, I’m fully aware that MLP pegasi do not look like this. This is just a headcanon design. I personally prefer this. Even if it’ll be a lot more complicated to make art.

Didn’t shade the picture as I didn’t want to deal with shading. Probably won’t be shaded later either.

Now, for design choices I took for Polites. Yellows and greens are interesting. Yellows typically are to indicate happiness and joy. Greens normally induce a sense of tranquility, peace, and harmony. With Polites character in “Open Arms” being the way that he’s normally portrayed, these two colors make a lot of sense. For the cutie mark, it’s to harken back to “Open Arms”, as well as his impending death. The length of the ghost pony mostly is to keep the design simplified, but also make a note as to the fact Mr. Jalapeño likes to traumatize us with Polites singing “Open Arms.”

I genuinely have no qualms with it though. I actually find it very sweet and I understand why it’s put in so many times. The musical is about ruthlessness and when to be that monster. If Polites didn’t die, then what’s the need? If Eurylochus did listen to him and left the wind bag alone, or didn’t start the mutiny? He has a point. We need to hear a musical about ruthlessness and when to let it out.

If I had to say what Greek story I’d love to hear about in a musical, maybe the Iliad or possibly a story that follows the stories of the gods. With the second one, possibly taking it in a “Ride the Cyclone” -esq way. Could be one or multiple.

Either way, I am just really happy with the results!
