I prefer beady eyes for the foals, but I wouldn’t say I disliked AJ’s or Flurry Heart’s colored eyes.

…but…your profile picture has a…Oh, never mind.

@Zahnrad  
no one did

Personally, I would have preferred that they use the Baby Cakes model for newborn Applejack and Flurry, and switch the Cakes to the new model.
 
But then they wouldn’t have been able to fit the disgustingly oversized wings and horn on Flurry. Oh no!

@Evowizard25  
Didn’t like the Mare Do Well model if we’re being honest.

@Evowizard25  
This

Going to be honest here, I prefer the new design over the old. The cake twins are still cute, but the eyes… eh, never cared for them. I like the effort they’ve put into the newer versions.

Seriously now, there’s mostly discussion and people giving out opinions in a civil way.

@Background Pony #04AC  
Discussion =/= Butthurt

Holy shit the level of butthurt over one simple aspect being slightly inconsistent with others…just enjoy the adorable babies. Fuck….

@Ferrotter  
Correction: Every other baby foal, including Baby Applejack after the day of her birth, had normal beady foal eyes.

@Dr Outback  
Someone should draw what the Cake twins look like in Season 5+ style.

seeing pumpkin and pound again makes me even more mad about flurry heart.

@Dr Outback  
drawing new assets takes tiiiime  
That wouldn’t be it, though, since they already have the Babyjack/Flurr’rt model in the library; it’s a deliberate stylistic choice, just a weird one. I’d really been hoping we’d get to see The Cake Twins aged up this season.

@Ferrotter  
That’s quite a stretch, but it’s better than anything else we’ve got.

We know Baby Applejack had normal eyes in her birth certificate photo. We also know Flurry Heart has normal eyes.
 
Every other baby foal, including Baby Applejack after the day of her birth, had normal eyes.
 
Going back to the first statement, we know Baby Applejack had normal eyes in her birth certificate PHOTO. And we also know Flurry Heart lives in the Crystal Empire, in a palace made entirely out of crystal, with a magical crystal in the base, and glowing roadways when the ponies nearby are happy.
 
So the most reasonable conclusion is that foal eyes look different because we’ve almost always seen them in bad lighting. (MDW foal under the pram shade; Baby Applejack under a table; Cakes in a nursery or a dark and spooky house.) Under a camera flash or surrounded by light-channeling crystals, their eyes look normal.

“drawing new assets takes tiiiime” - animators

Man, if they’re out of poopsacks by now, they should’ve also outgrown the babby eyes.

@Dr Outback
 
I’m not a fan on how they have suddenly forgotten how baby foals are like.
 
Flurry and Applejack look like about a year old in the latest pics. While Pound and Pumpkin should be looking like them nowadays.

@DragonWraith  
too bulked up in comparison with shorter and thinner limb.

@Dr Outback  
Ah, so the Mare-Do-Well baby is roughly the same model as the Baby Cakes, but the head is replaced with an egg.

@Dr Outback  
Oh wow. I did not realise.

@Zahnrad  
 

 
went from round eyes to more oval eyes with color. then baby AJ didn’t have colored baby eyes. Lastly we have well you know. are there no reference sheets for foals at over there?

@Meso Echo  
This might be a lot to ask and I’m not being sarcastic, but could you post pictures to show them? I’m still kinda confused.

@Meso Echo  
I’ve never really looked that closely, but I always thought the Mare-Do-Well baby used the same model as the Cake twins.
