The Pony Clone That Got Away

For today’s Diane Art here are anthro animal versions of Diane and Spotlight, cause it’s always handy to have a back up plan in case Hasbro sends you a cease and desist. The one with Spotlight as a Wolf was done much earlier in the year, the one with her as a mouse was done more recently (I prefer the mouse version myself).

I probably will do a new series at some point with these versions of the characters, but that probably won’t be for awhile (the current story I have has a bunch of ideas that only work within the MLP universe). Let me know what you guys think of these versions of the characters.

Diane’s new outfit has actually already been decided on (in fact you can see it now by becoming a $5 patron), but I thought it would be fun to have a little contest. Diane will be trying on some various outfits in the next update and I want you guys to choose which ones she wears, you can either design them yourself or send a reference photo or picture to my submit box.

You just need the following two rules:

1. The outfit must cover Diane’s flank so that no one can see her cutiemark.
2. No purple (Diane hates purple).
3. Please keep the submissions to one per person.

The top 5 best ones will be included in the next story update. The due date for submissions is midnight EST January 3rd, 2018.

Also to celebrate the end of 2017 the ask box will be opened up again (not sure for how long, but it will definitely be longer than just a few days).

This is a new feature of blog I like to call “Diane Art”. Every week where there isn’t an update I’ll post a bit of art I’ve done featuring the Clone characters. This is so I don’t burn through the updates I’ve already done so quickly and so people will stop asking if this blog is dead.

This piece of art here is based on a dream I had where Diane actually appeared as a canon character on My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. In the dream I was watching a new episode of MLP where a few of the characters go to Manehattan and Diane was in there.  Diane was animated in show style (wearing the outfit seen above with the first set of colors) and chatting with the main characters. While part of me was worried about the legal problems that might come out of this I was just so happy to see Diane animated and hear her talking.

I also did a few color variations on the dress to see how it would work with black (That’s Diane’s favorite color).

Bonus:

Later I noticed how blank Diane’s expression looked in that first drawing, and I realized it made it look like she was suppressing some rage. So I made this:

For those of you curious, Diane hates purple because it reminds her of Twilight.
