Winn & Jasmine: my MLP AU Edition! ~*
Semi-complex designs for these two as their color schemes are unique, but easily clash. Had to find a fun way to mix them!
I usually base these mlp designs on the prominent colors of their most worn outfit or general color vibes. Utilized to its full extent here :]
Winn
- Winn is a hippogriff! Their hair reminded me of one & they seem to be the tallest of the trio, so this felt like a cool choice for them.
- They were the first in their class to get their cutie mark, in an assignment in which you had to write up a law / act and persuade people to vote in favor of it. Winn did this with both a good presentation and the power of cool as heck skateboard skills. Their cutie mark is a colorfully lined scroll and a skateboard on it! (This cutie mark is based on their answer during the career presentation.)
The whole class was in awe to see them earn it in class, and Dev was rather jealous at first. Ultimately respects them, though.
Jasmine
- Jasmine is a kirin! She reminds me a bit of Autumn Blaze, I think they'd be friends if they were in the same mlp universe.
- She dyes herself with magic to get those blue stripes, spots on her mane and tail, and leopard or cheetah spots (based on the print on her shorts).
- Her cutie mark has to do with her love of music / singing. Even if a bit scratchy & rough right now, passion for something can definitely lead you down plenty of paths you want to be on in the future!
AU Info
- The area they live in has a lot of different creatures living together
- Most of the main character names are easily fantasy names, so I'm keeping them the same for the most part unless the name is less mlp-like. Will likely give them different last names though!
Peri & Dev
Hazel & Cosmo & Wanda -
Hazel and Cosmo & Wanda: my MLP Edition! ~*
Hazel is a crystal earth pony!
- She loves this fact about herself because her hooves are crystal. Her cutie mark relates to her passion for geology and the colorful crystals are representative of her fun and creative personality!
(Plus, I put that shiny out-of-this-world rock in the design, love that gem.)
Fairyzie Lore
- Combining the words Fairy and Breezie since this is a powerful subspecies of breezie! I alternatively thought of "faebreezie" but I can't stop wheezing every time I read that name, so I went with Fairyzie instead ~*
- Decided that fairyzies customize their antennae the way they want them to look with magic. Before then, they have a default antennae look that they are born with, influenced by their parents. They also take the shape of objects around the baby sometimes after birth (Peri's example here: a baby rattle).
Cosmo
- Gave him a comet-like antennae and cutie mark. His cutie mark is cosmic and swirly, fitting to a powerful being (*cough* Von Strangle *cough*). But instead of a mystic spiral, it's a silly swirl in the cosmos :]
Wanda
- Her cutie mark is her wand antenna and a W (for her name) crown above it, surrounded by stars (space and wishes). I feel it's representative of her way of doing things & her fairyzie godparenting.
(Wand antenna-like cutie marks are fairly common amongst godparents and those who like magic, with both her husband and son having hints of this in their marks.)
I had to resize Cosmo & Wanda a lot, so here's the drawing before shrinking them + Hazel by herself too ~
ALSO, SOME EXTRA FAIRYWINKLE-COSMA FAMILY CONTENT!
I was struggling to draw all three characters, so I started sketching these for an extra serotonin boost :]
(1) Baby Peri & Cosmo (Proud dad moment)
(2) Four year old Peri (Please don't put him in an insect collection)
(3) Wanda, speaking to Hazel & Dev: Peri used to curl up like a kitten when he was 4. He called himself "Dapper Cat" and staged a whole dramatic cat tale with Irep
Peri: !! NOOOOOOO
Wanda: It was very cute. He learned his favorite song is "Posin'" when I turned on some music for him to dance to
Fun Facts
- Hazel's reaction afterwards would be "Aww", and Dev says, "That sounds lame."
- Peri really likes electro swing music
- Peri could imitate a kitten 100% accurately and Irep could not. So he taught him and it ended up going like this

That's it for now! Really wanna draw Winn and Jasmine though, who won't be ponies & instead other creatures :]
Peri & Dev : my MLP AU Edition! ~*
A New Wish got me, so I gotta express myself with animal fantasy creatures xD
Peri has a breezie design here! He has a cutie mark, cause I make the rules. I imagine fairies as just larger, more powerful breezies in this mini-au ^^
It is absolutely essential that he has a poofy tail
Dev is a unicorn colt! With some white spots on his back and hooves. The gold above back hooves are an accessory.
- His magic isn't very strong, but useful for carrying tech around.
- I thought about what his cutie mark should be for a bit and decided on two customized coins (heads and tails, design based on Doug Dimmadome's belt buckle) and two arrows indicating a flip. It can be seen as relating to wanting to be involved with business, but also his ability to make decisions, reflect on them, and turn them around sometimes. It's a trait I really like about his character :]
I badly want to draw Hazel, Cosmo, and Wanda next. Hoping to keep the motivation xD
Amazing job, @iheartalastor!
