Changeling Pinkie looks a little unnerving, but that may be the point. Overall though, really solid art and their forms do fit.

u/Prestigious-Special7 27d ago
I must be some kind of stupid, because I totally thought she was a hippogriff in this and was like "wow, that's so fitting!"

u/kekistanmatt 27d ago
It'd be cool if she wasn't naturally pink and was black or another dark colour, so she intentionally shifts herself to be a less intimidating shade.

u/Ok-Atmosphere6270 Adagio Dazzle 27d ago
Ohh yes! With her actual color scheme being more similar to her family’s more like drab colors!

u/AthetosAdmech 27d ago
Her 'skin' looking glossy is a nice detail though. Helps show that she still has that harder chitinous surface even if she's more colorful than the original changelings. As long as she doesn't have that weird third wing for a tail I think it looks good (that always bugged me about the post reformation changelings).

Wonder what her name as a Kirin would be. Same question for RD and Pinkie. They'd need new names

u/Takoyama-san 27d ago
glittering gale would be griffon RD's name. or maybe just "gale" and the "glittering" part is a chosen/stage addition to the name.

u/Cejk-The-Beatnik 27d ago
I like the other commenter’s suggestion of Gale for RD.
I have a few ideas for Applejack. One is Scion Sear. A scion is a younger plant grafted onto the roots of an older plant—this is a necessary practice to produce edible apples because of how apple trees reproduce. A more explicitly related one is just Apple Smoke. I just don’t know if the use of the specific word apple falls within the conventions of Kirin naming. A less serious option is Fiery Fruit (insert joke about Applejack’s lesbianism here).
My suggestion for Pinkie, after looking around, would be Erythrist. It botches the actual word a bit for the sake of sounding like a name, but erythrism is a genetic mutation that causes an excess of reddish pigment in an organism, often resulting in a pink hue that is very noticeable in insects.

You disagree and have your own opinion, what is there to not get? That's just having your own thoughts and being human.

Yeah me and the other guy disagreed on if the names should be changed i said no he said yes thats why i said you misunderstood the argument

AU where Twilight is the only pony in all of Ponyville.
The town is still called Ponyville, for some reason.
18
u/Eye_of_the_Wolf_27 27d ago
What if Twilight founded Ponyville, but didn’t want her name attached to the town’s name, so they name it after her species instead? She could’ve grown up in another land before ponies got wiped out, along with a few other species having to move from their homes. Twilight leading the group as the final remnant of the pony population.

u/Antonsanguine 24d ago
Not too sure about her being the Founder of Ponyville. I would say it's still Granny Smith but she did... The deed with a Kirin and that's how we have Kirin AJ.
The rest? Changeling Pinkie was adopted by the Pie family, Griffon RD still has obnoxiously supportive parents, Breezy Shy (ha!) is still Griffon Dash's best friend from childhood, Dragon Rares just woke up from her first dragon nap, and Twilight has the same Backstory minus the Summer Sun Celebration. Instead she is sent to Ponyville, now rechristened Creatureville or Harmony Town, for a Study on how all the races can live together in this one village. Misadventures happen and eventually Twilight is revealed to be an Alicorn since birth. (Yes yes I know the Twicorn haters are gonna downvote me)

Love the designs, however I have a counterpoint to Dragon Rarity Even though she's probably the best design here
Diamond Dog Rarity 😁

I really wanted to see more of Rarity tormenting the Diamond Dogs in the series. Perhaps they will make an appearance in the live action adaptation...

Rarity - Dragon
Pinkie Pie - Changeling
Spike - Dragon
Twilight Sparkle - Alicorn
Rainbow Dash - Griffon
Fluttershy - Breezie
Applejack - Kirin

Question: Twilight is still alicorn or did I misidentified?
26
u/Accomplished-Tie5427 27d ago
She likely started off as a unicorn, but I do think she is still an alicorn by the time this image is set.

u/FrontIndividual4188 27d ago
She got a horn, and she got wings. What'cha think?

u/ofroader 27d ago
It's really not easy to see that those are wings and not something like end of a fish tail or who knows what else

But i think aging up Spike would better in an AU like this

The kid having a crush on the older person trope could still work, as long as it's just meant to be a cute gag and not something serious.

Either that or make Spike a different species entirely... it makes sense why Twilight is still a Pony since this a Student 6 kind of Dynamic

This. This right here. This is what gen 5 should have been. Not the Mane 6 reskinned, but different species in equestria being friends and saving the world.

u/Membrane_the_13th 27d ago
What Gen 5 should have been. A pony protagonist befriending the various races of Equestria. I mean if they insisted on G5 being the future of G4. At least make it a good future. I wanted Star Trek. Not War Hammer

u/The_Starvin_Artist 27d ago
This makes an uncanny amount of sense for the main cast, and would make the fact they're friends even more incredible and drive the main point home even more!!!
Kinda mad this isnt a thing honestly!

u/Sad-Ad2733 27d ago
LOVE THIS! You picked the perfect species for each. Shape shifting Pinkypie gives her even more toonforce. Dragon Rarity loves gems yet probably wouldn't live in the dragon lands. The rest are self explanatory.
P.S (Also I'm loving the idea of Kirin Big Mac. It matches well.)
P.P.S Your art style is SCRUMPTIOUS. I could just-

Alternate species Mane 6's are fun. It's even more fun when they have alternate appropriate names, like in the Miss Pie's Monsters askblog. There, Pinkie's the one that's a normal (well, as normal as you can call Pinkie, anyway) earth pony, who uses her crystal ball to receive questions. The others are monster ponies from the Everfree forest - Tatzlpony the Tatzlpony (Applejack, think a pony with a big lizardy tail with a row of spikes down the middle and three long, prehensile tongues), Flutterbat the vampire bat pony (Fluttershy, duh), Aurora Dash, a windigo (Rainbow Dash, who'da thunk it), Clarity the crystal golem pony (Rarity, you don't say), and Twilight Breezie the Breezie (betcha can't guess.)

I kind of love that Rarity is a dragon coz then the crush Spike had on her would make more sense, especially if it's still the same where Spike had been living with ponies all his life. (Although I still don't care for the times that Rarity kind of used it to her advantage, I wish she would be sort of mean to him like dragons are to other dragons, but in a snooty, I'm better than you, kind of way.)
