Obviously Applejack is designed to look like she has freckles, even though they’re on fur rather than skin. How far do you want to take that metaphor if you’re trying to add more detail?
Theory 1: She should only have the canonical six freckles.
Theory 2: They should mirror human freckles and concentrate on the face/ears/shoulders/upper forelegs.
Theory 3: Going back to the reason that human freckles appear in those places (sun exposure), apply that to a pony’s body shape–so she would have freckles on her face and generally all along her back and upper legs/flanks.
Which idea do you like better? I don’t suppose it matters since it’s really fur anyway and there’s not really a good reason for her to have freckles as opposed to spots in any random formation, but I’m interested to hear some thoughts.
