I think they’re cute.

Thanks for the comments guys :3  
I can see what you guys mean about the eyebrows, sometimes I draw them over the hair but with this particular “style” of humans (I switch up all the time haha) I don’t, but I think I’m gonna start if you guys think it’d be an improvement :3  
@BronyHeresy it’s not really a case of tan here, it’s natural skin tone “^^ I usually give AB a farmers tan, but I completely forgot here.  
Posing and proportions I definitely need to look at yeah haha. I have a serious case of same pose going on with a lot of my stuff, and switching it up can get me a bit confused haha. But hey trying something new and practising is always a good thing even if the results aren’t spectacular at first ^V  
Noses I picked mostly based on race, AB has a cute button nose, BS a slightly wider button, Scoots has an almost romantic nose because I had her as sort of, Grecian? at first, and Sweetie has a mostly flat nose with a slight bump as she’s supposed to be asian haha.  
And yeah I just like noodle arms for this style haha  
But yeah thanks guys :3 I’ll take it all to heart!

@Zombie  
You see that sorta eyebrow thing a lot in anime. I think that would really benefit this piece. Might do well to do the same thing with ABs eye, which sorta layers on top of her hair.
 
@Heresy  
You right about AB and Scoot. Personally, i like BSs proportions. Makes her look a little chunky, which corresponds well to the original pony.  
Also, I fuckin love noodle arms!  

Oh, additionally, all their arms are really noodly. I don’t know if that was deliberate, but it just bugged me.

See, I might’ve reversed AB and BS’s skintones. Apple Bloom is a farm pony, and likely spends a lot more time outdoors than her city cousin. Just my opinion. Prolly woulda made the AB skintone a little darker though, and Babs’ a dash lighter before the switch though, for familial consistency. That’s just my opinion though. As for Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo, spot on.
 
As for the poses, etc. One thing which I would say needs work more than anything else is proportion. For example, compare the widths of AB’s legs. The belt clearly shows that her lower body is facing the camera, yet her left leg is only half as thick as her right. Babs’ waist circumference is really big, compared to her shoulders. Scootaloo’s shoulders are barely there, and her spine is really weirdly bent. Sweetie’s left and right eyes have a similar problem to Apple Bloom’s legs, and the others’ eyes could use a tiny bit of touching up. Finally, the noses are a little awkward, though that’s a matter of preference.
 
All in all, probably 6.5/10. It’s good, and I can see you have talent, but it needs work.
 
Hope you find my critiques useful! :)

@Niggertron
 
That’s understandable. Sometimes I do the opposite and remember the most obscure crap (a la black Twilight).
 
I’ve noticed that some artists who want to implement eyebrows that are hidden by hair, hats, or whatever make faint eyebrow “marks” where no difference of color is added, but the lining is still there.
 
It’s not a very good example, but >>145320 sorta gets my point across.

@Zombie  
Oh yeah I remember that now. Sorry nigga I get forgetful.
 
You right about the eyebrows too. It is a little inconsistent and makes Applebloom and Sweetie Belle seem a little less expressive. Course since they’re mostly hidden by the hair anyway, it makes sense to take the shortcut of not drawing them. Fuck I do shit like that that all the time.

Scratch that second “I thought.”

@LNT
 
I thought I thought I did back at that one black Twilight image that was close to being very good.
 
Anyway, I like it, but AB’s and SB’s lack of eyebrows just strikes me as odd. The lack of black outlines was a nice touch, too.

@ThatGlowingPony  
Huh. I think that’s the first time anyone’s taken what I have to say seriously. Damn.
 
This is good work tho. Faces, proportions and especially dem eyes look nice and uniquely stylized.
 
And if indeed your headcanon for Scootaloo is black, don’t be discouraged. Humanizing a nigga pone is tough since it introduces a new color to the character’s scheme. Not many do it well, but it can be done.

And also when the anatomy is………..very off……

most of the time, the real reason why pics like this get downvotes is because the characters have ugly faces. (not this one)

Thanks, I like getting actualy cronstructive criticism haha. I can seewhat you mean about Scoot’s palette, blame that on poor planning haha, her skin was much much ligher when I started colouring and it was a last minute choice, should have changed her clothing and stuff. I’m not very good at character interaction in my pieces, so yeah poses for this sort of stuff is definitely soething I have to work on. Thanls!

No, this picture’s good.

I’ll be honest; I hate it when people cry out “racism” anytime a bad picture gets downvoted if it happens to have a character that isn’t white in it. This picture, however, is very cute and well done. So, I don’t really know what to say.
 
Everyone is entitled to their opinion and their vote; who am I to say what you are allowed to like? However, I just have trouble believing this picture warrants a downvote.
 
I could be quite wrong.

Did somebody say racism!?
 
Legit tho, this isn’t too bad. Having Babs be a little darker makes sense, goes well with her palette, and works well with the whole city pony thing. It’s a balancing act to make it seem like she’s still genetically Applebloom’s cousin, but this piece pulls it off well.
 
Scoot on the other hand…damn. Honestly, I’ve always envisioned her as a little dark myself. Here, the color does sorta conflict with the palette. Beyond that the hair is a little weird at the scalp, and she’s dfinitely got the weirdest ass pose of the 4 of em.
 
Stylistically well done, but it could use some improvement.

I don’t know what a guidette is haha. I made her dark skinned because it worked aesthetically and while it’s not actually something I usually do, it’s close to her coat colour.

FFS, what is wrong with being “a guidette”?

Artist, why did you make Babs a guidette?

And the wave of downvotes came in.  
Racism is a part of humanity that I wish would die off….

why do I feel like people are just downvoting this becauseblack people lol anyway, it’s cute I think they suit these skn tones

@professor it’s partly because she’s a bit closer, I’m bad at perspective haha, but I think she’d be the shortest :3

Pretty cute but I would like to believe (and I’m probably wrong) that Sweetie is actually taller than Scootaloo. I think of her like a scrappy doo.

…I like this Babs. Even if I think she should have an overcoat.
 
Skin tone the same as her fur color I could be 0kay with :D

Please don’t tell me Babs is a guidette.
