That was a giant factor of me absolutely hating her alicorn transformation back in the day! (I was part of the group that believed Twilight was intended to or at least should've became Celestia's successor - her becoming an alicorn was obviously a perfect opportunity for marketing.) They completely lost me the moment they burned down her treehouse and gave her that ugly thing. Dreams shattered. Never forgave them afterwards lol
Lol. When the transformation came in I liked how Twilight looked (even it it was sudden and a bit out of blue) but as the show made the castle appear I was like „It could fit somewhere in Cadence’s kingdoom/area but in Ponyvill looks out of place. I don’t know where did THEY get the idea of pointy-crystal-pseudo-tree castle, being integral part of Simple Village that neighbours with literal ancient forest! If Twilight realy had to have castle then there was already georgeus but rundown (or was it reconstructed already? I don’t remember 😅) empty castle that used to belong to Celestia and Luna. Like…Just make the sisters gave free reign over the place to Twilight and make the trasnformation turn beloved little tree-library to be grand enchanted one or something… The idea of tree-castle would mend so much better with everything around!
They kind of creep me out.. Like they’re not supernatural creatures, like fairies or anything, they are just human adolescents. So the unnatural skin colors have no explanation. 😂
The redesign of the castle looks much more lush, lively and welcoming And Twilight's ultimate redesign is a huge improvement from what the team chose! She looked like a purple Celestia, but your version is a lot more ethereal gorgeous and more Twi-like! Hasbro should hire you already!
If there's something I see the entire fandom agree on, it's the fact the rainbow power up form from the S4 Finale had amazing colours in the mane! (reffering to the yellow in Twis hair)
i love how in her final form the streaks you gave her kinda look like an aurua borealis. i like how she continues to get more starry sky on her the further she goes in her transformations.
Oh man I remember the drama in the fandom when Twilight got her wings. The toys were released before the episode came out and people were NOT happy and kept wondering if she was now inmortal and would outlive her friends.
the thing about twilight now probably being immortal and outliving her friends is that when all of her friends eventually pass away, she will have to learn that friendship lasts forever as she is the princess of friendship. even when they are long gone they will still be there in spirit
Dude, I'm still crying at the sight of the last episode of season 9 and I can't accept that Twilight really outlived her friends. When they were young, it was much easier to accept, but now I just try to pretend that the last episode doesn't exist.
If I remember correctly, it wasn’t 4chan who called the show “the end of artistic shows”. It was some guy writing an article who said that, singlehanded igniting the Brony fandom which STARTED forming on 4chan because they were so insulted by his words. So yeah, 4chan is an odd place. Full of wonders AND horrors.
Apparently they also used to be less incel-y, like ddosing stormfront all the time n shit. Not hard for me to believe that could be initially more chill
When she first became an alicorn at the end of the season, I was not sure how I was going to feel about such a large change to the show's dynamic. But, much to my relief, when the next season came out, the change did not really change Twilight herself all that much outside of giving her a new form and new responsibilities. Even without the form change, if Twilight's responsibilities had had an upswing in what she was expected to do, she would have been stressed out and anxious regardless, that's just kind of how she's always been. Becoming an alicorn was just more of a clear visual reminder that she was now tasked with greater things, like an apprentice wizard moving to journeyman and getting their robes and a more powerful wand. I was also happy to see that they actually went with 'she has to learn to fly' rather than having just given it to her. I think the transformation was actually handled very well, and it was refreshing to see them not just be like 'bam! New powers!' but actually have the character herself experience a bit of dissonance with the change and have to grow into it.
Sooo cute! I remember when Twilight was turned into an alicorn when I was actively watching the show, I also just loved the self indulgent fantasy of it. MCs who are deserving of being royalty getting a royal title? Little me loved it sooo much! But that's probably cuz I always love princess stuff😅
same lol. i enjoyed how cool it was that twilight got to be an allicorn and princess. imo, i thought she deserved it *and* i really loved princesses as a kid DGSJDHSJDH
I seriously was not feeling the gold-yellow up until the end and then my frigging jaw dropped lol. She's like a nighttime sky *and* an ombre sunset all in one somehow! I adore alicorns and was not disappointed.
I was there during the princess twilight reveal and i was on the side of loving princess twilight I'd love to see a flutter shy redesign since she's my favourite character growing up
I’d love to see a Luna redesign! Especially a Nightmare Moon one, as I think they could have used her better ! She has always been my favorite perhaps due to “Lullaby for a princess”. Also they did her so dirty in Equestria Girls!
16:15 OMC, that is near-perfect. 🤩 Though it's still an eyesore to Ponyville's simple-earth-tone vibe, at least it's more welcoming and nature-like than the extremely pointy exterior of the original. Similar to the Student 6's treehouse but more "natural".
When I first saw Twilight's final form I didn't hate it completely but I thought it would look more harmonious if she was smaller, like how Cadence and Luna were smaller than Celestia even though they were both alicorns too, and Luna seems to have been born an alicorn and was still smaller than Celestia, so if you want to take into account the fact that Twilight wasn't an alicorn by birth, she wouldn't be bigger than Luna, and Cadence may be naturally slender like other ponies in the series.
Flurry Heart was the only one to be born a full alicorn, but I get why you might say that! I think they just have smaller body types due to being younger overall.
Yeah, I thought at the time "Wait a minute, is that Ponyville's only library, and if so, isn't it a bit mean to go blowing it up?" Especially as it would have had some historical value in-universe, being where Twilight's alicorn transformation was triggered.
No judgement. But I think the redesign of her castle is the best. I really liked the og because it was more her colors and crystally. But the addition of leaves really sold me that the castle could've looked more alive
I love these designs, they're so cute! Have to say though, zoning out and hearing the instrumental to 'Gypsy Bard' really unlocked a memory I forgot I had ahhhh
I love the redesigns! My one complaint has to be that, because you used the word "transformations" you were going to include Seapony Twilight or some other misc forms. Aw well, I really appreciate what we got still!
Given how shit most of this week has been in terms of what's been going on with entertainment, Calli bringing something like this is a nice distraction.
Her alicorn design is so cute!!! Actually obsessed with the yellow stripe. My only other comment on it is that i think the yellow stripe would look sleeker if it were much thinner than the other stripes.
twilight never asked to be a princess. She never really seemed to want to do most of the stuff Celestia had her do. She was mostly stressed. She was straight up groomed to be a princess by a princess who just wanted to retire
I definitely think your design of Twilight's final form is much better than the show's. There's so many different elements like the freckles and the streaks and yet you made it all work together into one beautiful design without anything looking out of place
I think they all look great! Especially twilight princess/celestia body form. It really looks like she got a glow up. I think her mane being wavy and containing aurora veil aspect would look really cool on her too.
Ive been rewatching MLP these past few months and honestly the timeline from student, to princess, to ruler makes so much sense and was handled very well. Though.. i hated Ruler Twilight's hair. Straight sideswept bangs did not belong.
Your redesigns are gorgeous! Something about the original design feels like she's wearing shoes that are too big for her while with your design, everything feels like it was actually made for her.
twilight grew into the celestia form that quickly because in her ascension to the throne of equestria she would have had to gain MORE magic, the same magic that makes celestia and lina’s hair float like it does and give her the ability to raise the sun and moon
16:15 YES!! This is what I would have LOVED for the castle to look like! Just about what I was imagining all this time. Not only is it pretty, it's still marketable looking enough to be appealing for toy sales. Why didn't Hasbro just go more towards the treehouse castle theme?
at the end of the series, it really didnt make sense to me that twilight was essentially celestia sized by the end of it. with that amount of time, i more so expected maybe a cadence / luna body type? maybe its power related, as luna in the first episode is quite a bit smaller after being released from the grasp of nightmare moon, who was extremely tall, but also still not as big as she is in the rest of the series, and knowing celestia had to assume the duties of both raising the sun and moon, i guess that can explain her being much taller than luna, as luna never had to assume the duty of raising and setting the sun, but then the next problem is twilight fighting tirek after she had absorbed all of the alicorn magic? clearly his size was also determined by power.. i cant really figure out why she'd be celestia sized in the span of at most 30 years honestly 😭i just assume its power level connected
i think there still is more to be said on people being upset about power dynamics changing and the like, because what people often forget is that... that's... normal? As people grow up, dynamics change, friendships shift, and things alter our perception of one another. This was a good way to show that (even if obviously far more drastic than most people experience) Something to really keep in mind, too, is the age range of the show. If a 10-year-old was to pick up the show in 2010, when the show first aired, they would be 12-13 when Magical Mystery Cure came out. Becoming an alicorn, in a wild sort of way, could be seen as a metaphor for puberty and the changes that come with it, how people perceive you, how, in a way, you were growing up. And yeah, the show did change in tone and themes as it went on, because its audience aged with it, so it had to.
There is a missed opportunity for episodes by giving Twilight a castle so soon after the library was destroyed. It would have been funny to see Twilight and friends be awkward about having the new princess sleep over at different places. Hearing the castle be called a dead tree inspired an idea of 'growing a castle' from a magical sapling that could be related to the Tree of Harmony. It would be a symbol of growth that everyone could contribute and relate to.
Although, I understand Twilight Sparkle becoming an alicorn, to be the next ruler of Equestria, in my heart, I also wanted the remaining "mane six" to be alicorns, too, ruling together with friendship and magic 💖 I would love to see the rest of the mane six as alicorns, too, because they should rule Equestria together.
I actually thought up something really cool for an alicorn version of Pinkie Pie: her mane and tail would be more poofy like a cloud, and bubbles would pop off of it and float away, especially when she was excited. Feel like that would really fit with Pinkie's silly party theme while also being magical :D
I never liked the Alicorn design simply because I felt like it made her original talent, no longer special. The thing that was so special about twilight was that despite just being a unicorn she is insanely powerful. Heck starlight was just as powerful as alicorn twilight which I felt made twilight just another magic user
Starlight was way overpowered. Of course, worthiness to be an alicorn isn't about who's more powerful, but I think it's silly that a normal - if talented - unicorn could ever be as powerful as an alicorn. If that was the case, why not Alicorn Rarity? Or, come to think of it, why not Alicorn-all-of-the-Mane-Six?
@@cherryb893 Yeah sometimes I see people wanting Starlight to be an alicorn just because she's overpowered but that's not what being an alicorn/princess is about....there's more to it than that plus I prefer her as a unicorn anyway. Not every powerful unicorn needs to be turned into an alicorn. People say the same for Sunset but Sunset pretty much threw away her chance at going down that path and she's in the human world anyway so it just doesn't make sense for her either....I think it's better that we don't normalize turning people into alicorns...I like it being a somewhat rare occurence. Which...I don''t like how Sunny in MLP5 became an alicorn...I honestly don't think she deserved it especially since that was the movie starting it all way too early for that in my honest opinion...though I would've rather her not even be an alicorn to begin with at all but that's just me.
These are so beautiful! I love how there's still a bit of a similar feel to the original designs, but at the same time, it feels refreshed and elegant! 🤩
It's perfect... IT'S SOOOO PERFECT LIKE IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY? I don't know what to say other than that you really understood the assignment and just wow
what i like about the designs is that theyre realistic to what hasbro could have done. a lot of redesigns i see, while beautiful, could never realistically be in the show because well.. they wouldn't sell toys. these are appealing, not overly complex and merchandisable. these are important qualities often forgotten by fan-artists (who dont have supervisors leaning over their shoulders assuring that their work will maximise profits 😅)
I looove your designs! I think I prefer the first colouring for her, but the second is great as well! I would never have thought of colouring her tail either, but it’s perfect. She is so gorgeous
For twilight I think a snowflake appaloosa would suit, you could work the cutie mark in by matching the white snowflake spots over the rest of the body
I love these redesigns! The last was my favorite, I definitely agree they did her dirty with those bangs! And that transformation in such a short span of time didn’t make ANY sense.😭
I love your redesign for Twi so much!!! I love how you had gone for that more Twilight look. I could understand why some didn't like alicorn or future Twi's design, but idk, they both grew on me. Especially now knowing more about animation and looking into some possible leaks. From what the heard, the team was on a bit of a tighter budget for the last episode, so they had to reuse models and parts of other character puppets for the timeskip designs, which is why Twilight (as well as Spike) have wonkier looking designs. Still, it's nice to hear you actually talking about a show you like for a video here. I do hope you make Mlp redesigns!!!
I would love to see your redesign of the other mane 6 as well! (Or even beyond that…all the ponies you want!) I adore this design so much! Twilight looks so much more regal!
17:43 Celestia and Luna passed and transferred many power to Princess Twilight Sparkle, as seen in Season 9. Her form would obviously grow much faster than Princess Cadence's due to the fact Princess Twilight Sparkle was much more powerful, even before becoming an Alicorn. May you give any tips and tutorials for how you draw so perfectly, as well?
In my opinion your redesigns look more fitting than what MLP staff went with post season 3. Yours keep the sparkle of her design. Very much refreshing.
This is my favorite twilight redesign to date!! I love that she’s still recognizable within the universe but so much more detailed and symbolic with her designs 😍❤️
I don't know who exactly said it but I know one of the show runners clarified that Twilight won't outlive her friends. Personally I interpret that as her friends either attaining immortality or just ascending to alicorn hood via the elements of harmony
I hope so, because either premise - Twilight outliving the others or Twilight not being immortal herself - would negate the point of the show from the end of S4 up to Gen5 where it's shown that Sunny only has alicorn powers when the 3 types of ponies work together.
You also forgot the two earth ponies Haakim and Amira of the Saddle Arabian Royalty. They also have a different body type as they were seen in season 3 episode of Magic Duel & season 4 episode Equestria Games. I also love your redesigns of Twilight Sparkle ~
I love that twilight became an alicorn. And I’m glad we got a long journey with her as one, learning to be one and learning the responsibilities with it. I like that the finale is that she becomes the new ruler of equestria. It makes sense since the only other princess that could have ruled rules over the crystal empire. I definitely agree that her form was really drastic haha I was expecting her to look like cadance or Luna. Lol
The most interesting domino effect in my life is related to Mlp. Once, shortly after the premiere of the film, I came back home and opened UA-cam, and in the recommended sections I saw a fragment of the film where Twilight and Pinki were having an argument. I decided to watch it and after that I got really into the series, and after a while my sister also joined the fandom. And one day, she went to a Brony meet, where she met her current fiancé. So yes, me watching MLP has caused my sister to get married soon.
Her change and esp her last form would only be acceptable if all of her friends also transformed like that. Though, id imagine that would be hard to execute lol. Maybe its a good video idea to design all of her other friends final form
When you were talking about them trying to give Twi a new form but keeping her old and recognizable and undying up with neither I reminded me of an old Chinese saying (yes I am Chinese) “One who trys to catch two rabbits catches none.”
Celestia and Luna have a blanket pattern :O To this day i firmly believe all mane 6 should have become alicorns as they all did their part throughout the show.
I really like your redesigns!! I do feel however, you could’ve incorporated more earth pony elements, like stronger legs, but that’s the only thing I can critique, it’s really awesome looking
I believe it was stated The Last Problem takes place 20 years after The Ending of The End. Anyway all these look so amazing! The thing that throws me off is that Luna and Celestia have very regal voices, while Twilight's voice sounds exactly the same as when she was young; it doesn't sound like she's aged at all with her transformation. I however really liked her jewelry.
My only issue with Twilight becoming an alicorn was that it threw off the party balance. It went from two unicorns, two pegasus, and two earth ponies, into one alicorn, one unicorn, two pegasus, and two earth ponies. Admittedly this was a bit of a nitpick and It stopped bothering me once I got to know the new Twilight.
When you were redesigning Goddess Twilight the music behind it ,made me a little emotional 😩 it reminded me of the memories with this show 😔 i wish it never ended 😩 .
More? YES PLEASE!! I love your redesign. I prefer Twilight being a unicorn all the time, but I love your redesign. The cutie mark part looks great on her, as well as the alternative version.
I love MLP and EG! I was there for the initial release of gen 4 and instantly fell in love with it. I love the redesigns, however, the only change I would make is in her final form. Instead of the navy to yellow gradient, I would do a navy to light blue. I think that makes more sense. I would love to see the other mane 6 redesigns and even see their EG counterpart redesigns. I'd also like to see Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer's pony and EG redesigns.
These designs are some of the best ive seen so far, granted I havent watched very many. These are so cute and really fit her character, though not something I can see in the real show, especially with the freckles seeing as she is the main char, or rather one of the main 6, but I would not be mad if this is how the show had decided to direct with it. Would love to see an equestria design SO MUCH, but honestly I would prefer to see Fluttershy or Rarity first :3
I loved your final redesign the most as it was a MUCH needed change from her hideous canon final form. Pinkie Pie's always been my favorite pony so if you ever got around to drawing her, I'd be ecstatic!
These are very pretty redesigns! I love it when people use different horse patterns!! I've seen people use yellow before with Twilight redesigns and it does look very nice with the pose and other colors you chose for her. Also I totally agree with you about the castle. I also stopped watching the show before the Celestial Twilight thing and after seeing her cannon design, I enjoy yours much more.
And yes, please do the Equestria Girls ones for her, especially since you added more of a galaxy theme to her pony form. Especially the Rainbow Rocks one, I'd love to see how you would add in the colors you chose for her, since she does get the yellow added to her outfit. The neon colors would be super fun to play around with.
I love the shaded extremities with white freckles. Very cute and really sells the bookworm vibes. It's also a fun detail given that she gains more freckles the longer that she learns from Celestia (the princess of the Sun). I also wholly agree on how her mane was handled and on how they treated the poor library. Trees > castles.
Maaaaan, I’ve come to identify so much with Twilight’s academic, perfectionist side. In my second year of college, I held all of my courses one semester at a perfect 100% each, then something slipped through the cracks and one course dropped to 99.96%, a 0.04% drop. I was legit hyperventilating from performance anxiety for two weeks, fearing I’d failed because my grades weren’t perfect anymore.
I like alicorn twilight in theory. Making her an alicorn could've been great, but i personally think she lost too many flaws too quickly. I never honestly noticed the change in dynamics with her friends and it isn't like she was the only one who had that issue. All of the characters felt like they had that (or they didn't show up as much, still bitter about AJ not being in it as much). Also, that updated version of the castle was GORGEOUS!! I wouldn't have minded losing the library.
Imagine if Twilight had a fairy castle on a tree? That would have been so cute
That was a giant factor of me absolutely hating her alicorn transformation back in the day! (I was part of the group that believed Twilight was intended to or at least should've became Celestia's successor - her becoming an alicorn was obviously a perfect opportunity for marketing.) They completely lost me the moment they burned down her treehouse and gave her that ugly thing. Dreams shattered. Never forgave them afterwards lol
@@zerosenseofself that's crazy 😭

Lol. When the transformation came in I liked how Twilight looked (even it it was sudden and a bit out of blue) but as the show made the castle appear I was like „It could fit somewhere in Cadence’s kingdoom/area but in Ponyvill looks out of place.

Like…Just make the sisters gave free reign over the place to Twilight and make the trasnformation turn beloved little tree-library to be grand enchanted one or something… The idea of tree-castle would mend so much better with everything around!
I would most definitely love to see an equestria girls redesign

16:15 YES!! This is what I would have LOVED for the castle to look like! Just about what I was imagining all this time. Not only is it pretty, it's still marketable looking enough to be appealing for toy sales. Why didn't Hasbro just go more towards the treehouse castle theme?
at the end of the series, it really didnt make sense to me that twilight was essentially celestia sized by the end of it. with that amount of time, i more so expected maybe a cadence / luna body type? maybe its power related, as luna in the first episode is quite a bit smaller after being released from the grasp of nightmare moon, who was extremely tall, but also still not as big as she is in the rest of the series, and knowing celestia had to assume the duties of both raising the sun and moon, i guess that can explain her being much taller than luna, as luna never had to assume the duty of raising and setting the sun, but then the next problem is twilight fighting tirek after she had absorbed all of the alicorn magic? clearly his size was also determined by power.. i cant really figure out why she'd be celestia sized in the span of at most 30 years honestly 😭i just assume its power level connected
i think there still is more to be said on people being upset about power dynamics changing and the like, because what people often forget is that... that's... normal? As people grow up, dynamics change, friendships shift, and things alter our perception of one another. This was a good way to show that (even if obviously far more drastic than most people experience)
Something to really keep in mind, too, is the age range of the show. If a 10-year-old was to pick up the show in 2010, when the show first aired, they would be 12-13 when Magical Mystery Cure came out. Becoming an alicorn, in a wild sort of way, could be seen as a metaphor for puberty and the changes that come with it, how people perceive you, how, in a way, you were growing up.
And yeah, the show did change in tone and themes as it went on, because its audience aged with it, so it had to.
There is a missed opportunity for episodes by giving Twilight a castle so soon after the library was destroyed. It would have been funny to see Twilight and friends be awkward about having the new princess sleep over at different places.
Hearing the castle be called a dead tree inspired an idea of 'growing a castle' from a magical sapling that could be related to the Tree of Harmony. It would be a symbol of growth that everyone could contribute and relate to.
Although, I understand Twilight Sparkle becoming an alicorn, to be the next ruler of Equestria, in my heart, I also wanted the remaining "mane six" to be alicorns, too, ruling together with friendship and magic 💖 I would love to see the rest of the mane six as alicorns, too, because they should rule Equestria together.
I actually thought up something really cool for an alicorn version of Pinkie Pie: her mane and tail would be more poofy like a cloud, and bubbles would pop off of it and float away, especially when she was excited. Feel like that would really fit with Pinkie's silly party theme while also being magical :D
Yes. They basically all went through the same journey. Plus, Equestria could easily have been ruled by committee.
I never liked the Alicorn design simply because I felt like it made her original talent, no longer special. The thing that was so special about twilight was that despite just being a unicorn she is insanely powerful. Heck starlight was just as powerful as alicorn twilight which I felt made twilight just another magic user
Yeah I see what you mean. 🫤 I kinda had those same thoughts.
Starlight was way overpowered. Of course, worthiness to be an alicorn isn't about who's more powerful, but I think it's silly that a normal - if talented - unicorn could ever be as powerful as an alicorn. If that was the case, why not Alicorn Rarity? Or, come to think of it, why not Alicorn-all-of-the-Mane-Six?
@@cherryb893 Yeah sometimes I see people wanting Starlight to be an alicorn just because she's overpowered but that's not what being an alicorn/princess is about....there's more to it than that plus I prefer her as a unicorn anyway. Not every powerful unicorn needs to be turned into an alicorn. People say the same for Sunset but Sunset pretty much threw away her chance at going down that path and she's in the human world anyway so it just doesn't make sense for her either....I think it's better that we don't normalize turning people into alicorns...I like it being a somewhat rare occurence.
Which...I don''t like how Sunny in MLP5 became an alicorn...I honestly don't think she deserved it especially since that was the movie starting it all way too early for that in my honest opinion...though I would've rather her not even be an alicorn to begin with at all but that's just me.
Oh, I love your redesigns of Twilight's forms and your redesign of Twilight's castle looks so beautiful too!
These are so beautiful! I love how there's still a bit of a similar feel to the original designs, but at the same time, it feels refreshed and elegant! 🤩
"This is no longer a pony ,neigh, 'tis a horse" you're a genius!!!
that goddess alicorn redesign is the best. keeps it looking like how Twilight should look. love it.
My goodness this looks amazing, I love the yellow, the coat pattern, and her unicorn tail
I think Twilight’s Alicorn and Unicorn design was simple like the other ponies to ease the fight animations and scenes
Just a reasonable thought 💭
I loved watching mlp gen 4 growing up and I personally loved twilight becoming a princess :)
It's perfect... IT'S SOOOO PERFECT LIKE IF IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY? I don't know what to say other than that you really understood the assignment and just wow
what i like about the designs is that theyre realistic to what hasbro could have done. a lot of redesigns i see, while beautiful, could never realistically be in the show because well.. they wouldn't sell toys. these are appealing, not overly complex and merchandisable. these are important qualities often forgotten by fan-artists (who dont have supervisors leaning over their shoulders assuring that their work will maximise profits 😅)
I'd LOVE to see you do a Winx Club (and specialists) redesign!
I looove your designs! I think I prefer the first colouring for her, but the second is great as well! I would never have thought of colouring her tail either, but it’s perfect. She is so gorgeous
For twilight I think a snowflake appaloosa would suit, you could work the cutie mark in by matching the white snowflake spots over the rest of the body
I love these redesigns! The last was my favorite, I definitely agree they did her dirty with those bangs! And that transformation in such a short span of time didn’t make ANY sense.😭
The side by side kind if looks like a pokemon evolution line up. I really like the ideas added to this redesign
I remember watching this show when I was a kid. Super nice!
I love your redesign for Twi so much!!! I love how you had gone for that more Twilight look. I could understand why some didn't like alicorn or future Twi's design, but idk, they both grew on me. Especially now knowing more about animation and looking into some possible leaks. From what the heard, the team was on a bit of a tighter budget for the last episode, so they had to reuse models and parts of other character puppets for the timeskip designs, which is why Twilight (as well as Spike) have wonkier looking designs. Still, it's nice to hear you actually talking about a show you like for a video here. I do hope you make Mlp redesigns!!!
A-MAZ-ING AMAZING!!! I love it and mostly how you reincarnated her❤❤❤!!!
I would love to see your redesign of the other mane 6 as well! (Or even beyond that…all the ponies you want!) I adore this design so much! Twilight looks so much more regal!
17:43 Celestia and Luna passed and transferred many power to Princess Twilight Sparkle, as seen in Season 9. Her form would obviously grow much faster than Princess Cadence's due to the fact Princess Twilight Sparkle was much more powerful, even before becoming an Alicorn. May you give any tips and tutorials for how you draw so perfectly, as well?
I’m SO excited for the possibility of more of this!
Absolutely beautiful!!! I think these designs are definitely a huge improvement on the original designs!!
In my opinion your redesigns look more fitting than what MLP staff went with post season 3. Yours keep the sparkle of her design. Very much refreshing.
This is absolutely gorgeous! These designs match Twilight's personality more than her cannon designs
I love how you incorporated the yellow streaks in Twilight's mane from her season 4 powerup into a permanent part of her alicorn form!
This is my favorite twilight redesign to date!! I love that she’s still recognizable within the universe but so much more detailed and symbolic with her designs 😍❤️
Omg, they're absolutely amazing.
I absolutely love your pictures of Twilight Sparkle I think it fits more & a better upgrade.
I LOVE WHAT YOU ID WITH HER WINGS! THEY’RE SO PRETTY
I don't know who exactly said it but I know one of the show runners clarified that Twilight won't outlive her friends. Personally I interpret that as her friends either attaining immortality or just ascending to alicorn hood via the elements of harmony
I hope so, because either premise - Twilight outliving the others or Twilight not being immortal herself - would negate the point of the show from the end of S4 up to Gen5 where it's shown that Sunny only has alicorn powers when the 3 types of ponies work together.
Love the Twilight redesign!! I wonder is fewer spots would’ve made the patch looks less busy? Either way it looks awesome ❤
You also forgot the two earth ponies Haakim and Amira of the Saddle Arabian Royalty. They also have a different body type as they were seen in season 3 episode of Magic Duel & season 4 episode Equestria Games.
I also love your redesigns of Twilight Sparkle ~
I love that twilight became an alicorn. And I’m glad we got a long journey with her as one, learning to be one and learning the responsibilities with it. I like that the finale is that she becomes the new ruler of equestria. It makes sense since the only other princess that could have ruled rules over the crystal empire. I definitely agree that her form was really drastic haha I was expecting her to look like cadance or Luna. Lol
The most interesting domino effect in my life is related to Mlp.
Once, shortly after the premiere of the film, I came back home and opened UA-cam, and in the recommended sections I saw a fragment of the film where Twilight and Pinki were having an argument. I decided to watch it and after that I got really into the series, and after a while my sister also joined the fandom.
And one day, she went to a Brony meet, where she met her current fiancé.
So yes, me watching MLP has caused my sister to get married soon.
I love the feathers on the tail!! So amazing how you made that work!
Her change and esp her last form would only be acceptable if all of her friends also transformed like that. Though, id imagine that would be hard to execute lol. Maybe its a good video idea to design all of her other friends final form
When you were talking about them trying to give Twi a new form but keeping her old and recognizable and undying up with neither I reminded me of an old Chinese saying (yes I am Chinese) “One who trys to catch two rabbits catches none.”
The final form redesign was my absolute favorite 😍 😊🎉
the background footage being from 'your name' has my heart so happy
i absolutely love these! i especially love how you took inspiration from real-life horses :)
Celestia and Luna have a blanket pattern :O
To this day i firmly believe all mane 6 should have become alicorns as they all did their part throughout the show.
I adore Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron! It's so criminally underrated.
Oooooo, I love the wisteria style castle idea! It looks so pretty and magical!
I really like your redesigns!! I do feel however, you could’ve incorporated more earth pony elements, like stronger legs, but that’s the only thing I can critique, it’s really awesome looking
I just love how the blue to yellow gradient resembles the twilight of evening hours.
please more, calli!
I am getting into the mlp fandom now despite never having watched it and your designs look awesome
Your design of her is very unique! I like the change on the cutiemark, makes it so much prettier 😭💘 YOUR FIN😮
i HAAAAAAAAATED Twilight's final form, she looked so lanky and weird- like a basic recolor of Celestia LOL! In love with people's redesign.
20:40 OMG A FRIENDSHIP IS WITCHCRAFT SONG!!!
I believe it was stated The Last Problem takes place 20 years after The Ending of The End.
Anyway all these look so amazing! The thing that throws me off is that Luna and Celestia have very regal voices, while Twilight's voice sounds exactly the same as when she was young; it doesn't sound like she's aged at all with her transformation. I however really liked her jewelry.
My only issue with Twilight becoming an alicorn was that it threw off the party balance. It went from two unicorns, two pegasus, and two earth ponies, into one alicorn, one unicorn, two pegasus, and two earth ponies. Admittedly this was a bit of a nitpick and It stopped bothering me once I got to know the new Twilight.
When you were redesigning Goddess Twilight the music behind it ,made me a little emotional 😩 it reminded me of the memories with this show 😔 i wish it never ended 😩 .
More? YES PLEASE!! I love your redesign. I prefer Twilight being a unicorn all the time, but I love your redesign. The cutie mark part looks great on her, as well as the alternative version.
I love MLP and EG! I was there for the initial release of gen 4 and instantly fell in love with it. I love the redesigns, however, the only change I would make is in her final form. Instead of the navy to yellow gradient, I would do a navy to light blue. I think that makes more sense.
I would love to see the other mane 6 redesigns and even see their EG counterpart redesigns. I'd also like to see Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer's pony and EG redesigns.
giving twilight her bangs back in her final form was a NECESSITY.
These designs are some of the best ive seen so far, granted I havent watched very many. These are so cute and really fit her character, though not something I can see in the real show, especially with the freckles seeing as she is the main char, or rather one of the main 6, but I would not be mad if this is how the show had decided to direct with it.
Would love to see an equestria design SO MUCH, but honestly I would prefer to see Fluttershy or Rarity first :3
I loved your final redesign the most as it was a MUCH needed change from her hideous canon final form. Pinkie Pie's always been my favorite pony so if you ever got around to drawing her, I'd be ecstatic!
ouuuu MLP let's gooooo!!!!!
your designe so cute!!!!❤
OMG didn't know you watched it
These are very pretty redesigns! I love it when people use different horse patterns!! I've seen people use yellow before with Twilight redesigns and it does look very nice with the pose and other colors you chose for her. Also I totally agree with you about the castle. I also stopped watching the show before the Celestial Twilight thing and after seeing her cannon design, I enjoy yours much more.
And yes, please do the Equestria Girls ones for her, especially since you added more of a galaxy theme to her pony form. Especially the Rainbow Rocks one, I'd love to see how you would add in the colors you chose for her, since she does get the yellow added to her outfit. The neon colors would be super fun to play around with.
I love the shaded extremities with white freckles. Very cute and really sells the bookworm vibes. It's also a fun detail given that she gains more freckles the longer that she learns from Celestia (the princess of the Sun). I also wholly agree on how her mane was handled and on how they treated the poor library. Trees > castles.
20:24 ah the music is so nice, so relaxing and gentle👌✨
Maaaaan, I’ve come to identify so much with Twilight’s academic, perfectionist side. In my second year of college, I held all of my courses one semester at a perfect 100% each, then something slipped through the cracks and one course dropped to 99.96%, a 0.04% drop. I was legit hyperventilating from performance anxiety for two weeks, fearing I’d failed because my grades weren’t perfect anymore.
I like alicorn twilight in theory. Making her an alicorn could've been great, but i personally think she lost too many flaws too quickly. I never honestly noticed the change in dynamics with her friends and it isn't like she was the only one who had that issue. All of the characters felt like they had that (or they didn't show up as much, still bitter about AJ not being in it as much).
Also, that updated version of the castle was GORGEOUS!! I wouldn't have minded losing the library.
You made it way better then they did!!!!!
There all beautiful!!!
I love how they look! ❤
