The original Mane 6 the way they look in my AU, set ten years after the original cartoon
I might change them up later but I think this is pretty good so far! I’ve kinda decided to change the looks of the pegasi, earth ponies, unicorns and alicorns so they have more individual traits. Now yeah Earthsong9405 and a bunch of other people have made these kinds of headcanons before so, obviously it’s not original (though a few minor changes are my doing). But it’s a very popular headcanon and I’ve seen it all over the place, so I can’t really credit one person for it?? It’s kind of a community HC at this point?? Whatever lmao

The changes include giving unicorns a longer tail and a more petite and tall figure (and pointy ears but I accidentally gave the pegasi the pointy ears in this because I’m a dummy).
Pegasi have a smaller figure, feathers on their chest, back of ears and optionally on their fetlocks, with a bird tail for added stability in flight.
Earth ponies have a taller, bulkier build and longer fur. They also tend to have more complex fur patterns.
Alicorns will have both the pegasi and unicorn traits listed above, but also an added pair of wings and optionally crooked/bent/other shapes of the horn.

I’ve been thinking of how I should do the pegasi tails, if I should have a combination of the tail hair and then have a smaller bird tail on top of it, or if I should actually remove the hair entirely and just have one larger bird tail. I posted a poll about it if you’d like to help me decide, but I’m leaning towards actually removing the tails entirely and just having one large birdtail.

I also did kinda want to change Twilights color palette to purple, midnight blue and white. I’m not a fan of the color yellow, and it doesn’t really fit Twi that well. So I might change it if she ever appears in the comic, haven’t gotten to her parts yet in the script, lmao
(Speaking of the comic, it’s coming soon, bois)

Idk if I should write descriptions for them all, I have thought out their roles considering this comic is set 10 years in the future but it’s very basic so I might skip it for now. I might give them more proper descriptions in the future though!

EDIT: If you want to read more about the history in this AU regarding the Alicorn family, click on the thumbnail below and read the story! It includes the canon princesses put into a proper family tree together with some Alicorn OCs such as Celestia and Luna’s mother and father, (and a brother ) and much much more. Lore, backstory, all that jazz
