Human Twi wears Super Miniskirts?
Also nice to see something more ambiguous if we're stuck with this assumption being prominent. Could easily be Arabic, Indian, Black, Asian etc. and mixes thereof. |

^ "Stuck" might sound a bit too negative. I mean for people who simply don't agree as I see Zebras representing black humans and that it's not my preferred aesthetic translation of the character.
When you look at it like that it just looks very strange. Does anyone even know where the idea comes from or is it just an artist that painted after personal preferences or herself/himself? |

I think it's from her coat color, since if you look at the cast, Twilight is noticeably darker than the rest. This is also why people tend to make Applejack/Mac fairly tan. That's what I think anyway. :I |

I don't know why but the Twilight = black assumption bugs me for some reason, I think it's just because it's so prominent. I liked the interpretation of Rarity as black, that was novel anyway, and I don't think there's much of any reason to assume any definite race behind anypony. |

Hence you should be just as uncomfortable seeing ponies depicted as white girls. Are you? |

^ Don't try to pass it off as racism, silly filly. It's completely natural to characterize things by that which they're already familiar with. That's why I asked if the one who first drew her as black might be black themselves, since then it'd be the one they first consider when translating it to humans in their heads.
The asian versions also feel quite natural given her Hime haircut, that it doesn't conflict with the colour scheme and that early on in my Bronydom I saw very nice art that made her human version that gal from Panty and Stocking (a show I haven't seen apart from art). The darker black versions just.. suck. They become bad art (in my eyes). Colour coordination is a good thing when you're drawing - which these lighter Indian/Middle-Eastern version have an easier time with. @Anon: But it's purple. And no one draws Luna black even though she's the NIGHT. The colour of the coat obviously doesn't mean anything on the show since even close siblings have radically different colours. o_o |

@Skipta I think it's a matter of shading. Twilight is a somewhat dark purple, but Luna seems to be a lighter shade of blue |

I'll give this one a pass as it's actually kinda sorta cute. |

@ Skipta there's at least one depiction of Luna as black http://liralicia.deviantart.com/art/Twilight-Moon-264992021 |
