Gone is the chest plate, I thought it’d weigh down the design too much. Instead, her tiara became a crown, and she’s gained new, golden shoes. Her mane isn’t flowing anymore, but again, I think that would manifest itself the more she uses up her magic reserve. Her cutie mark is simple yet recalls the old design, but also reminds me of the Cardinal Points, which is a fun comparison, given her role as a guiding mentor!
Overall, it was fun redesigning Celestia, I think she looks a bit more formal now, and I still like both this design, and her G4 one!
