Cozy Glow

(AU design)

I currently have an MLP AU in the works. And while Cozy Glow plays a relatively small role, she is part of it since I gave her a backstory that ties to some of the AU's lore. So I changed up her design to fit that story. You can probably pick apart the design and find out what I did and what the AU is about.

I haven't developed it enough to the point where I can say enough without spoiling everything, but for those interested, be on the lookout for future content. I'll let you know what's relevant to the AU.

Here’s all of my mlp native au designs! In one post for convenience! I’ll get around to posting my other native au with the animals. I actually drew twilight twice years apart

OMG I never explained this ever because I keep forget but apple jack is making a pun of wigmunke’s name! Wigmuke basically means a rainbow but literally it’s captured light/rain drop kinda deal explaining how a rainbow is raindrops reflecting light. So basically apple jack says you captured my heart. ❤️ like her name.

"Beware the Well of Shade, for the shadows run deep through its endless walls and twisting caverns" I've been messing around with this rig on and off for awhile, but I finally finished this little side project making a short scene in the style of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I've never been quite happy with how Starswirl the Bearded looked in the show when he finally appeared but, last year I happened upon a really cool fan design of Starswirl by the user Orin311 that I fell in love with. I decided to make a one view puppet rig this year directly based off their vector art as a surprise, complete with show style lip sync and a full walk cycle. One thing led to another in adding a background, a few illustrator texture brushes, multiple sound effects, re-purposing some old fire animation of mine and suddenly it became a whole completed scene. With such a cool wizard design, the choice for using Gandalf's voice to test the rig with was a no brainier. The background is based on the Well of Shade location in the Season 7 finale of MLP. I had a lot of fun making this and it was great practice for some future personal animation projects I wanna start next year! Credits for the character design and sound effects listed below

Carol Cho (Coco Pommel)

My take on Coco Pommel for the 1920s AU!

As a Korean-American immigrant and designer fresh out of university, Carol works tirelessly as an apprentice for the fashion house, Polomare, in hopes of joining the prestigious fashion scene of New York City. Unfortunately, due to Polomare’s unsavory business model of imitating the more innovative houses of Europe, she finds herself unfulfilled and desperate for new opportunities.

I haven't seen any MLP Doctor AU designs past Capaldi's era and I really think that's such a shame! So here's my take on the 13th, 14th and 15th Doctor :o]

Once again love to ramble about certain design choices!

Since the 13th Doctor wears ear jewellery depicting a golden and silver hand holding each other, I thought it'd be fun to change that into 2 horseshoes instead! I also gave a heavier focus on the more subtle rainbow on her coat because I feel it'd be more fitting for a MLP AU and something that could make the design a bit more balanced. I'd also tried to make her blue at first, but felt yellow actually felt more like the 13th somehow.

I decided to give 14 his iconic Doctor Whooves design, with the only difference being messier hair and some rough facial hair. I was definitely looking at it more with a nostalgia factor, which ultimately fits perfectly with what the 60th anniversary specials ended up being!

15 was a toughie, I'm not going to lie. A thing about MLP AUs I tend to dislike, is when an artist gives them the same colour as their skin. It tends to look silly with white characters, but I've noticed it's seen (at least USED to be) as less silly when it's with darker skinned characters. So with that in mind I wanted to make 15 the general colour he's themed to have in promotional material (orange and blue) and make it darker! ... but dark orange IS brown. So after some tinkering I decided to base his colour on the more earthy red Ncuti wears in this image.

I also decided to tone his hair blue instead of going with black to really hammer in that orange/blue theme 15 has!

Thank you for reading this far! I'm really passionate about this sorta stuff so it really means a lot :oD

Rarity sketch! Idk how I feel about her colors, I may do some adjustments later…

Anywaysss she’s a Zebra! I think she would find her stripes very fashionable and take great pride in them!

Her markings look more like a Zorse (Zebra x horse) but I wanted her flank to be white so her cutie mark was more easily visible and not over powered by the stripes. I’m making up my own fantasy zebra rules for this instead of following canon here, now zebras can be unicorns and they can be purple with colorful cutie marks <3

Happy anniversary to The Grand Galloping 20s! Hard to believe it's been a whole year since I started Tulli and I's MLP 1920s AU.
