My Little Pony G5 - TV Series developmentMy Little Pony G5 - TV Series development
These are some development concepts for a My Little Pony G5 2D show pitch done in 2019 at Boulder Media, before the project was placed on hold.
It was a fun collaboration between myself (Character Concept Art), Finnbarr Martin (Art Direction), Piotr Bzdura (Concept Art), Paul O’Flanagan (Direction), and Gillian Comerford (Direction).

I can understand that, but I feel like a more neutral approach would get the message down across easier without stepping on people’s toes. I get his reasoning that different body shapes does add more to a character and makes them more unique instead of doing copy and paste, and I agree. Also, I don’t know if he knew about this, but there was also the fact that G4 was made using Flash which meant that assets could be reused with no problem which explains why the character models looked so similar. I don’t blame him for not knowing that if that is the case.
I’m also trying to respond to this without being passive aggressive, so I hope it doesn’t come off that way. I think Naccari does understand that. However, Naccari is a 2D character designer for Tell Your Tale, so he’s not going to be talking about the acting in his art portfolio since he didn’t work on any of that part of the production. He’s going to be talking about the the parts he actually worked on and can use as reference work, which were the 2D designs and how that conveys the personality.

Yeah. I love G4 more than I love myself and my family, but I also think that G5 is better when it comes to characters having different shapes and sizes.
Are you sure about the second paragraph?
Yeah. They’re such nutjobs, right?
Hasbro - we’re full of shit as usual. I am pretty sure I can distinguish them by their EYES alone. Body shape is just a singular thing of the many differences they share. Also, why make them all pony in the first place? It’s because you need your characters to be similar to one another to some extent to be able to connect to each other(without really convoluted plot lines) and as a result, to the audiencealso probably had something to do with them being Equine.
I agree.

Hard agree, even if they remove the individual physical appearances, I can still tell by how they act. Heck, I believe Rainbow Dash was doing an impression of her own friends and I still can tell it’s RD herself.
Oh yeah also sorry if I sounded rude I was just being direct and curt.

Mind, this is concept art, likely made before any writing was done for TYT.
All it’s really saying is character designs can help get across characterization, which I don’t think is a crazy take.
