Why'd she always drawn in black? |
| feather #170505 1 year ago |
I recolored this >>23059
because black Twilight is cute |
| Anonymous #170507 1 year ago |
I agree |
| Skipta #170511 1 year ago |
She's practically never drawn "Black", MammoH (though there are a lot of Indian, Asian and middle-eastern Twi's). It's pretty much only a select few doing re-colours of other peoples art, as in this case. |
| Skipta #170515 1 year ago |
Good job on it, btw. Even though I think it's silly, it keeps the minor elements like the blush and shading, so that's nice. |
| feather #170527 1 year ago |
@skipta thank you. it's a very simple linear burn filter.
and she does often tend to be drawn as the "minority" character --- asian, black, indian, whatever. the caucasian versions do outnumber the others, but she's the one that gets singled out if anyone is. personally, if they're to be humanized, I seem them as a wide mix of races, just as they're a mix of pony species. |
| Skipta #170556 1 year ago |
I think it's silly because Zebras are black and Buffalo are northern Native American. Anything else I consider pretty "up for grabs". I've seen several hispanic Scootaloos/Rainbow Dashes, for example. And that I don't think Purple+Darkbrown mix well, but that's an aesthetic preference. Seen >>19575 ? I think it's amazing and Zecora looks great in it, as does Twi. TheLivingMachine pretty much do my favorite humanizations ever. :) |

Oh MammoH, If you watch an episode in the near future, look at her eyes!
And the Rythems of the universe will be explained! |
| feather #170571 1 year ago |
why's Zecora black? because she's a shaman and voice by a black VA? Zecora's a Zebra, the ponies are ponies, the buffalo are buffalo. They're not humans so they don't have prescribed races. |

delicious brown twilight |
| feather #170595 1 year ago |
lawl ignore my first two sentances there. Let me rephrase: Zecora comes from africa. If both Zecora and Twilight are humanized, that Zecora would be black doesn't mean that twilight isn't |
| Skipta #170652 1 year ago |
Zebras are african animals, she speaks mock-Swahili, she has old African culture as her theme, she's a shaman, she has a black VA (I didn't know that, but hey, if you say so. Doesn't really matter in this), what have you. It's absurd NOT to link them. Way to go with pretending I'm the one trying to "prescribe races" when A) You're doing it right here, and B) The reason most cite for making Twi black is "Her coat colour is darker than most ponies" - Which is confirmed by Faust to not have anything to do with it.
A zebra living in "America", so to speak, is still a zebra. They wouldn't magically change species. In the show they are clearly distinct equines. You might as well take an Irish person and call her black because "just because she doesn't look black at all doesn't mean she isn't". Twi doesn't look Zebra at all. It's silly. :P |

Oo- oh my.... w-why hello there *flustered* |
| Skipta #170662 1 year ago |
It's also ridiculous to pretend the Buffalo don't represent [northern] native Americans, considering the entire episode was written specifically to show them as Native Americans. |
| Anonymous #170705 1 year ago |
^ Yeah but Buffalos are 20% cooler. |
| Anonymous #170804 1 year ago |
So ponies are white Americans amirite. |
| Skipta #170857 1 year ago |
Well first of all I am not American. Secondly: "Anything else I consider pretty "up for grabs". I've seen several hispanic Scootaloos/Rainbow Dashes, for example.". I'm talking purely about those already represented on the show in non-Pony forms. |

Zecora's race is evil enchantress. The mane cast's are earth, pegasus and unicorn.
Obviously some translation will be required when rendering them as humans. Twilight as South Asian fits so well that now it just doesn't look right to me when she's drawn European. I'd like to see some more exploration in this direction. I've seen a Rainbow Dash as Hispanic that worked really well. |

I approve of messing around with humanized pony skin tones. You end up with some really striking results, as seen above. |

brown Twilight is best Twilight |
| Anonymous #172298 1 year ago |
Its not Twilight being black that's a problem to me, my only issue are the ones made just to purely piss people off. |
| Kooner #172307 1 year ago |
I don't get it ... sometimes Twilight is white and the next she is black |
| Anonymous #172317 1 year ago |
Just some people like to imagine her to be black, personally since I am white myself I like to think that they all except for Zecora are white. |

Frankly, I think the idea of using animals such as ponies to tell these stories in the first place is that anybody can relate to them. Same as why they don't clarify the ages, either. |
| Skipta #172357 1 year ago |
^ I think if you're white and have problems relating to a black character, or black and have trouble relating to a white one, then that's more of an issue than identifying which is more appropriate. I don't get that at all. Why would the skin colour prevent you from identifying with 'em? Do you only watch stuff with white protagonists or something? :P |
| Anonymous #199514 1 year ago |
^it's entirely possible he has only seen stuff with white protagonists, in live action shows OR cartoons, considering the rarity of non-white protagonists in western media. |
