Heyo - works for me! B is C with some added gradients, so I can do a version with both at the same time, I think.

Should I move onto the full cast?

Hey Kora,

These look great! I‘m thinking I like B.  What do you think?  Obviously we may end up simplifying it depending on production, but I’m leaning toward B or C for now.

Hi Kevin,

Just sent over some more sketches via MX, this time for RD and PP. I simplified down to a pencil line for the first round just to help get them out a bit faster, and they're all within the body-shape "family" of the other ponies, only keeping in mind some
feathery pegasus features and compact/slim legs. Let me know how these are looking for you! I'll be following up with Twilight soon as well.

Thanks!!

Hi Kora,

For the Unicorns, let’s go with FS A&C

Earth Ponies: AJ C,H,E.

It is though to pick with FS style matches up with which AJ style, so I figured we could bucket them by “species/breed”.  Let me know if that works.

Hey Kora,

Quote looks great.  Thanks

Loving A & C. Love how the cutie mark extends down the tail on C very cool.

I say we proceed with the remaining five somewhere in this vein. I don't want to constrict all of them to one exact style just yet but I think the four options you have here are similar enough that we have a general direction for the rest.

Best,

Hi Kevin,

Sent over the revised round of FS sketches via MX - let me know if these are working better for you, and if so, how you'd like me to proceed with the other 5 of the mane 6.

Also, I keep forgetting to give you a quote for 6 full characters/3-4 BW sketches (+ revisions) per character/Final Colour - I'd estimate it around 3,500 - 4,000 depending on the amount of hours spent/revisions needed. Could be more or less than the estimate
depending on those hours needed, and if any rush is needed.

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

Got the notes - thanks for clarifying! I wouldn't mind distilling the notes down and incorporating them into a set of 3 revised preferred designs -
which set would you like me to move forward with? It looks like D (revised eyes & proportions), F (as is), G (revised horn & tail), J (revised horn) and L (revised proportions of J) are all candidates, but
is there a set of 3 you'd prefer?

After the set of 3, I can move forward with variations of the mane 6 all in one style (chosen from the aforementioned 3 preferred designs), if that works? Let me know what you'd prefer!

Thanks

Hey Kora,

Sent some notes via MX.  Sorry they are not too terribly well organized.

The file kkosicka_G5-FS_notes represents our preferred designs, but I also highlighted other preferred attributed in the other pages such as proportions.

Next Steps:  What do you think of distilling it down to 3-4 design based on these notes?  Or would you rather jump on to some other characters?

I will be out of the office next week, but I will be checking my email.  I will get back to you but there may be a delay.

Also, would you mind sending me a quote for the work?

Hi Kora,

A little bit of context for the files I sent:

MLP G5 Mini Bible:  a lot of information here, but this is still rough.  Basically just a snap shot of the world and the characters personalities are all that we would like you to take away from this.  Don’t get too caught up in the details.

Regarding the designs of the characters, we love the idea of each “species” (earth pony, pegasus, unicorn) having their own unique physical attributes based on their culture and occupations; eg. Earth ponies may have larger hooves, unicorns slightly taller,
etc.  Please note, however, that despite their physical differences each mane 6 pony should look just as “magical” as the next.  AKA we don’t want the earth ponies to look too drab compared to the unicorns or pegasus.

When designing each character, please consider showing them in an expression and/or pose that captures their personality.

Thanks again, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Thanks,

Kevin
