Old style Bridle has red and black on her legs and ears, and a long mane sort of styled like Fluttershy’s.
 
New style Bridle has a completely grey body and a shorter mane that’s wavy/curly.

Can someone tell me how Bridle looks any different from her current look. I can’t tell.

FWIW, I’m not terribly crazy about how my OC used to look, but this is still one of my favourite pictures of her. :)

I see. Better hairstyle too. Well, can’t fault someone for an evolving character design, and the new work does look better, so good work on that. For what it’s worth, the feeling conveyed is sweet.

This picture is actually rather old, I’ve toned the red and black way down since then.

First of all, for the artist, this is damn fine artwork.
 
For the commissioner, however… Much as I appreciate the sentiment, if someone pays for a commission, that’s fine, that’s for them. If they then decide to make that artwork public, well then you’re asking for the public to view and give their opinions on it. If they don’t like it, they’ll say so. OC x mane six ships tend to draw hate for the same reason flashlight does. Also, holy shit who picks red and black as the colors for their oc? This is not intended to be a hate comment, I’m honestly just curious why she isn’t also an alicorn.
