The Pony Clone That Got Away

Posts tagged "My Little Pony"

I’ve been so busy with college that I totally forgot Diane’s birthday was three days ago (January 11th to be precise, though I don’t think this is her birthday in universe).

I want to thank you all for all the support these past few years. Rest assured while I might be a bit busy with college now I’m definitely not done with Diane yet (Plus there’s still a few guest artist posts to go, so I got some extra time).

Mod talking here, this update here is important to me because I do honestly get bothered by the fact that a few people still don’t consider Diane an original character. Yes I know she started off as just one of the clones from the episode “Too Many Pinkie Pies” and technically that means I’m just taking a character from the show and expanding on her which from a first glance is not much different from how somebody expands on Twilight on a Twilight blog, but it is. Diane has grown a lot since that first post, I’ve worked very hard at making sure she has developed her own personality, and in my mind she has.

I have often commissioned people to draw Diane in the past, and usually the first comments from other people are just “Hey look! It’s nerdy Pinkie Pie!”, which honestly kind of hurts. There was even one occasion when somebody drew some fanart using Diane’s design thinking she was just Pinkie with a different outfit and hairstyle. On top of that on the rare occasion where I visit derpibooru Diane is just labeled as “Diane” putting her with the rest of the depictions of “Pinkamenia Diane Pie” as opposed to “OC: Diane”.

This was the main reason why the color change happened, though there is an in-universe explanation which will be revealed in an upcoming storyline. Diane might see herself as just another copy but that’s no reason for everybody else to think the same.

Finally managed to get this done. Diane in poll winning option of burlesque Pinkie’s outfit, along with Spotlight accompanying her on piano (though to be honest Diane would probably reject that outfit in canon cause she has a strong hatred towards purple because of Twilight).

Once again I want to thank you for all the support over the years. I have some great stuff lined up for this blog in the future, that I’m sure you’ll be interested in. Till then keep on smiling.

Now off to the next follower milestone!

Day 18 - Diane (The Clone that Got Away)

The Last Pinkie Clone (that we know of) sprited. I included classic colors and her current colors. I preferred the classic one since it has a reference so it was easier to sprite. But the new one shown still looks good when they do it. So here’s hoping she’ll get that reference too. I hope you like it @theclonethatgotaway

GASP! Diane has been pixelized!

Now we’re one step closer to making the video game adaptation (Just kidding, it aint gonna happen…. Maybe.)

But seriously, thanks Giftoberfest. This is really cool.
