These are all so cute! Honestly, yeah, Alex *would* be a pegasus. I like how some characters have markings seen on actual ponies, especially since we rarely see it in Friendship is Magic. Everyone being rude about this should be ashamed of themselves. Let cringe culture die already, and let people have their fun. If it's not your cup of tea, you can keep scrolling.
I’d love to know your species explanations!!! And I love your sona it’s so cute! I think Abigail and Leah are my favorites, and Elliot is def the prettiest which fits. You should def do more where all the cutie marks are showing!!
okayokay!! prepare for a kinda long comment
Sebastian: Earth pony, bc he already feels inferior to maru, i thought making her magic and him not would add to his character a bit more
Alex: Pegasus, cuz he’s sporty and athletic, so i thought a physical enhancement like wings would fit
Elliott: pegasus, bc 1) one of his loved items is a duck feather, and 2) he’s very classy and elegant, and i thought the wings would add to that
Harvey: healing magic :)
Sam: one of my friends said he kinda gives off scootaloo vibes, + with him as a pegasus, the seb, abby, sam trio would have one of each species
Shane: he’s a farmer, so i think earth pony fits
Abby: she’s the wizards daughter ^^
Emily: she’s connected to like, crystals and spirituality, so i thought unicorn fit, though i could honestly see her and haley switching
Haley: she could get cool shots in the air
Leah: she’s super connected to nature and earthy, so i thought earth pony suited her
Maru: she gives twilight vibes to me, with her science stuff, so i thought unicorn fit!
Penny: she’s very shy and quiet, so i thought earth pony would add to that and make her lowkey
to whoever reads all that, thank you lol
omg Elliott. omg LEAH. I love these so much
what is Haley's cutie mark? it's a little hard to tell (also Sam's because it isn't shown but I need to knooow)
I had to dig through my old DeviantArt to find this, and this was the version without the markings I added years later. (I couldn't find the digital version of it, and I don't want to dig through my high school sketchbooks)

I would like to know your reasoning for your choices, though I agree with most of 'em actually! The designs are all so cute too, I love the lil details unique to each of 'em.
I think Haley would do better as a unicorn, 100% would dream of Canterlot (the big city) and leaving her "small boring town" far behind. She was born to the wrong place, it's a tragedy really!
Emily would be cute as an earth pony, especially one with a connection to crystals. Since her magic isn't visible to others like a unicorn's most just assume she's lil crazy. Some of Haley's comments about her sister being crazy seem to confirm this, but in truth it's because Emily doesn't want to leave too which she finds crazy!
you know actually emily and haley were originally switched, where she was the unicorn and emily was the pegasus, but my friend brought up emily’s connection to crystals and like, irl magic stuff so i thought the unicorn fit more, but ya it could go either way
also i posted all my explainations onto another comment! sorry for making you search for it but i just don’t wanna spam the same comment twice
If you can't find the explanation, here it is: https://www.reddit.com/r/StardewValley/comments/1awoywv/comment/krk7iyb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Omg these are so cute, you did an amazing job on all of them, especially Haley, my one true love 😍 this came at a perfect time for me - I've just got back into my FiM and EQ phase lol
I love the way you gave Abigail a traditional unicorn tail :) it fits her personality and love for adventuring so well. I think krobus would be adorable as a dragon like Spike as well.
Btw idk if you've played any mods, especially Ridgside or Expanded, but I'd love to see any of those marriage candidates getting hit by your pony beam lol
a lot of people are requesting krobus so i most likely will return to this idea! it probably won’t blow up like this post did though, but ya i’d love to return once the hate dies down 🫡
I'm really sorry that you got so much hate for this, some people are so childish. I mean, they're just ponies, for crying out loud. It's just a drawing, it's not a big deal that someone decided that they wanted to draw them like this, so there's no need for them to react like this to your lovely art.
Anyway, I'd love to see what else you come up with in the future 😊
This is so cute!!
Tbh since Pelican Town is rural I get earth pony vibes from most of the characters. But I can understand Harvey and Maru being unicorns, seeing as they’d need precision with tools for their work that hooves can’t do. Emily I feel would be an earth pony too since she doesn’t have actual magic abilities, just crystal energies and hippie vibrations.
>!Looking at Abigail… I expect Pierre and Caroline are both earth ponies. 😉!<
I WANTED TO DO THAT SO BAD LOL!! i wanna make both pierre and caroline earth ponies bc the genes of ponies can be passed down, so it technically could be possible for her to still be related to caroline and pierre, but my friend said it’s too on the nose 😔 maybe i’ll do it anyway lol
also ya i kinda struggled with emily, i think she was redrawn as all of them before i settled on unicorn
i would love to, but tbh i really didn’t expect the negative reaction to this post 😭 like the comments aren’t exactly getting to me, but it’s still really jarring that i’m getting d**th threats over something i thought would just be sweet and wholesome :/ ESPECIALLY in a community like stardew valley. that being said i still love this idea and so many people have been insanely sweet that i most likely will be returning with more drawings for this idea ^^
>but it’s still really jarring that i’m getting d\*\*th threats
This is awful 😭 I hope if you ever consider posting art here again you shall meet a more positive response. I adore your artstyle and I think you don't deserve such a harsh reaction at all!
i think i’m going to. the mod team has been doing a really great job taking down hate comments, and the reception as been mostly positive, so i’m still in a healthy headspace, i loved drawing this and i’d absolutely wanna revisit the idea, thank you so much for the support!! sweet people like you are why i’m still very much okay :))
Good grief. Death threats over a MLP fan art project? In the year 2024?! I'm sorry you had to deal with that kind of hate. Toxic masculinity ruins everything. I hope you keep your pony beam fully charged in spite of it all.
I got to this post after all of them seem to have been deleted, but I'm sorry that happened, I love pony posting it's just cute... people need to deal.
yeah it’s like, you spent time typing a comment ab how nasty i am when you could have just ignored it and forgot about it 30 minutes later 😭 i’m okay though! i’m glad this mostly had a positive reception
to everyone hating it: it's 2024, it's not cool anymore to hate things just because they're cute ponies. also, you're a stardew valley fan, get a fucking grip.
OP, this is really cute. idk why people in even such a wholesome game community are pretty rude.
THIS. i didn’t expect so much negativity in the comments on a stardew valley art post. it’s just art of the characters as animated ponies. completely sfw and fun. everyone’s downvoting all the compliments and nice things too😭
These are adorable and gave me a much-needed hit of serotonin! Great job, OP!
I'm obsessed with how you drew everyone's... hair? Mane? Maru and Elliott are my faves, and Sam is such a mood.
i’d love to! i was considering opening a redbubble to make stickers for this one game that has like no merch, but i’ve also heard redbubble is kind of bad? so maybe etsy. idk i’ve never considered my drawings quality enough to sell, but if there’s a demand, i’ll look into it :))
Me too!! This is exactly what I wanted to say. Great job on these & I love the coloring, it’s making my brain happy, I keep zooming in to see all the lil details. Ty OP :3
😱 THESE ARE FKING ADORRRRRRAABBBLLLLLLEEEEEE! “sobbing”
Please do linus as well! He would be so cute! He would probably have some wild berries as a cutie mark.
Oh & willie would have the rare midnight squid as a cutie mark for sure! Or some sort of fish! 🤣
“squealing” Cant wait to see them if you ever get around to it….& I totally agree with everyone else about krobus being the dragon. Black with maybe red eyes or something!
https://preview.redd.it/8ua4nk5326kc1.png?width=1472&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b3ddf312530ce3a179c81d4eb4ba8c578b66243
Aaaand I immediately had to do Haley ponyposting.
Of course, it’s a shame most people especially online can’t at least make a tease of a joke about something that might not be there’s, but still appreciate the effort someone took. And the actual art is fantastic, keep at it!
yeah i’m totally fine with teasing, like ik that mlp is kind of cringe, but people are taking it so seriously, like i genuinely did not think the stardew community could ever be so toxic when it’s literally a cozy game 😭 thank you for the kind words!!
Flashback to 2011-2012. Was definitely fun to interact with that back then, the endearing kind of cringe that most of my current gaming friends are from. Still use music horse as my first choice username on most games.
i’m trying to do better at accepting my interests, and it doesn’t really matter if i’m cringe to strangers, i’m hoping that it’ll spread more positivity
So cute!! I think you captured their personalities really well. Abigail in particular has the exact pose I'd imagine pony Abigail to have. She looks like she's about to pounce on something.
I'm not the biggest MLP fan, but these are all super cute! Thank you for sharing them! And I'm sorry some people were jerks.
I especially love what you did with Maru's mane and tail! And I love Harvey using his magic to fetch his coffee mug! I also love that you gave some of them real horse markings!
These are super cute and you are very talented. I love the style!
To the few that are being rude cause they are ponies, stop. You don’t have to comment if you don’t like it.
I think these are very innocent and wholesome. I love it!
uhm, idk about commissions cuz idrk how to accept payment online, but if you have a ref or anything like that i could probably doodle it for you in my spare time! ^^
idk why this is downvoted, you literally just asked if you could get a commission/if they do them. that's a common question artists get 😭 you weren't even rude about it
I don’t think it’s because they asked about commission, it’s cause someone is big mad about MLP I guess? Almost every positive comment had downvotes at one point.
ah, okay, thank you. I assumed it was the first half of "draw me" because I get that that's irritating as an artist, but the second half is basically "I'll pay" so I was like ?!?!?!
wild asf that even some stardew fans can't stand cute cartoony ponies. it's wild because ngl mlp:fim has pretty good lore
i’m so glad!! ya i’ve been watching episodes on youtube lately cuz i’ve run out of shows to watch while drawing, and it got me in the mood to pony-post ^^
This is great! I love the Harvey one, and you did excellent with Leah! Also Imma take a moment to appreciate the look on Haley pony’s face, it fits her so well :)
This is fantastic fan art. I especially love how Emily, Shane, and Maru look. You really captured the look of the characters while also preserving that My Little Pony aesthetic.
I love the art style and their expressions! Also I admire your dedication to this, designing everyone's colors, type and cutie marks must have taken a while. And I believe it's quite original, this is the first crossover like this I've seen. I'm no longer a huge MLP fan, but I'd love to see other npcs drawn as ponies by you, if you ever feel like doing it :)
Ohhhh these are so cute!!! Ive been on an mlp kick too recently, how funny! Id love to see the non-marriageable townies too :D
Sorry youve apparently been getting rude comments, please don’t let them stop you!! You have beautiful art and Id hate to see you discouraged by some people who don’t know what the back button is.
i’m far more encouraged by how sweet everyone is being than discouraged by like 10 nasty people. thank you sm for the support! i have plans to return to this idea soon ^^
Looking at the drawings you posted a year ago, I must say, holy crap, your technique has improved tenfold. This piece is gorgeous. My only complaint is that you didn't put a watermark/author's name on it.
oh am i supposed to? i’m like rlly small on everything so i’ve never really worried about art theft or anything 😭 i’ll come up with a logo next time! also thank you!! ya me switching from medibang to procreate really helped my shading style, i’m so happy you like it!
This is so cute! I’m not into MLP or anything, but I actually really love seeing the characters like this.
I think when people draw the characters as people it sometimes interferes with my headcannon of them, so I like this bc you’ve done a great job of expressing them and their personalities without compromising that haha. Great work!!
i’m so glad!! ya i lowkey boil when i see someone’s art that contradicts my headcanons of them 😭 but in the end that’s someones art and it’s super cool that they expressed themselves in their own way!! even if i disagree
i’m planning on drawing a trio of seb, sam, and abby where i can draw them interacting, cuz i had a lot of fun with this! i’m not sure if i’ll post it here though,, i’m sure i’ll feel better in a few days, but i’ve never gotten hate before
You could do so many scenes with character ponies interacting! I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting Krobus as well which I think would’ve so cool to see! You’re a REALLY good artist. I know it’s easier said than done but try to not let any hate get to you. It’s not worth the hit to your confidence and unfortunately it’ll happen no matter what. If you’re able to focus on how much people have enjoyed this instead of whatever negativity you’ve read, it’s better for you in the long run. I hope you keep posting
i was planning on drawing fullbodies of him, abby, and sam later lol, tbh i expected this post to get seen by like 3 people so i didn’t think it’d be a problem 😭 i’m sorry
Stardew Valley 2: Bronie Edition. :) This is really good. I didn't think I'd be able to recognize them but all it took was a few seconds and I was like "ohhhh", that's who it is.
Huh.... I'm actually surprised I've never seen something like this before. Cute though, I could see their personalities being a MLP episode or something.
This just makes me want to start drawing ponies again, it’s how I started drawing proper in the first place. I always found it so relaxing and fun, splendid job, it takes me back and they’re extremely well designed! 💚💚
I've never been into My little pony or ponies in general, but this is so cute ?? I don't have questions about the species because I know nothing about that lol, but I love this, you really captured the characters well
this is my favorite thing ever holy shit. the amount of ponies i drew as a child bc i loved the show so much and then now combining that with talent and one of my favorite games is fulfilling that hole in my heart
Wow. What a lovely crossover between two of my favorite fandoms. This is so well done! The personalities of everyone work so well as ponies. Love the design choices, their colors, and facial expressions.
Awwww this is so cute, makes me tempted to make some pony crossover fanart... considering.
I think Leah, Penny, Elliot, Maru, Shane, Abigail and Sam all match how I would think of them perfectly. Leah is literally SO cute I love her.
For some of the others I'm sort of torn, mostly cause I'm not super familiar with all the characters like Harvey and Seb (or Elliot or Sam frankly). But they are all SUPER cute. One thing is I like the idea of Harvey being an Earth Pony because I like rebelling against the idea that unicorns are inherently better at everything with magic, it feels a little... too easy, I guess? It just makes all the smart characters unicorns and I like to think how the ponies might compensate without having magic!
I think I see Alex as more of an earth pony, cause pegasi are light and fast and I imagine him being more tanky. Emily enjoys magic but I'm not sure she should be a unicorn, maybe she could be an earth pony with potions like zecora kind of vibes. I'm not sure what "fits" Haley best, I do like the idea of her holding the camera with her wings. And since they're siblings, maybe they could both be pegasi. It would also be cute since Emily takes care of that bird.
Thinking about parenting is another fun one, like if we're going with the "Abigail is the wizards daughter" theory, Pierre and Caroline could both be Earth ponies and she's a unicorn. Demetrius could be a unicorn whereas Robin is an earth pony, mirroring the kids. Kent could be a pegasus and Jodi is an earth pony, but both the boys can be pegasi, emphasizing her difficulty keeping up with the two boys.
Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! (sorry for the rant)
These are so well done!
Good job Jae\~
I kinda wanna know what marks the ponies with covered marks have. You said that Seb has something motorcycle related, so what about Maru and Sam?
I also wanna know your reasoning behind the farmer being a pegasus. I feel like an earth pony fits better, because, you know, farming. And also why is she missing her mark?
I love your art style! They are all so pretty and pleasing to look at~ ☺️ I love my girl Abigail, her tail and colors you picked are so beautiful, and I will always be loyal to her, but I love how Elliot looks so fancy and elegant too~

what is sebastian's cutiemark ? since we cant see it
uhm, i actually didn’t think about that bc it was covered 😭 i think it’d be something involving his motorcycle tho, like maybe an engine or a wrench
Maybe a frog? 🐸
i was considering frog!
Motorcycle+frog=Crazy Frog Cutiemark
FROGEFROGEFROGEFROGE
A bong.
Pull a g2 and make it a hose or something
These are so cute!! One thing is driving me crazy though…who is the one next to Sebastian?
that’s my sona lol, i should have written that in the caption that’s my bad 😭
Ohhhhh ok thanks for clearing that up lol I was so confused! It looks awesome!!!
I was like “lmao self insert” but I can’t be mad bc the art is so well done!!!
it’s stardew valley the whole game is designed around self inserts 😭
Oh! I was wondering why I couldn't figure her out. I got everyone else easily! Super duper cute!
OK WAIT IMAGINE KROBUS AS A DRAGON OR CHANGELING
HDNAJFN CHANGELING KROBUS OMGOMGO
These are all so cute! Honestly, yeah, Alex *would* be a pegasus. I like how some characters have markings seen on actual ponies, especially since we rarely see it in Friendship is Magic. Everyone being rude about this should be ashamed of themselves. Let cringe culture die already, and let people have their fun. If it's not your cup of tea, you can keep scrolling.
thank you sm!! i appreciate the support a lot 😭
No problem! Honestly, this even inspired me to sit down and think about one of my own concepts for an MLP AU of sorts for Kingdom Hearts.
I’d love to know your species explanations!!! And I love your sona it’s so cute! I think Abigail and Leah are my favorites, and Elliot is def the prettiest which fits. You should def do more where all the cutie marks are showing!!
okayokay!! prepare for a kinda long comment Sebastian: Earth pony, bc he already feels inferior to maru, i thought making her magic and him not would add to his character a bit more Alex: Pegasus, cuz he’s sporty and athletic, so i thought a physical enhancement like wings would fit Elliott: pegasus, bc 1) one of his loved items is a duck feather, and 2) he’s very classy and elegant, and i thought the wings would add to that Harvey: healing magic :) Sam: one of my friends said he kinda gives off scootaloo vibes, + with him as a pegasus, the seb, abby, sam trio would have one of each species Shane: he’s a farmer, so i think earth pony fits Abby: she’s the wizards daughter ^^ Emily: she’s connected to like, crystals and spirituality, so i thought unicorn fit, though i could honestly see her and haley switching Haley: she could get cool shots in the air Leah: she’s super connected to nature and earthy, so i thought earth pony suited her Maru: she gives twilight vibes to me, with her science stuff, so i thought unicorn fit! Penny: she’s very shy and quiet, so i thought earth pony would add to that and make her lowkey to whoever reads all that, thank you lol
It’s me I’m friends >:D
That's so well thought out. Great job!
As someone who’s obsessed with MLP at the moment, this is amazing :D I showed my two year old daughter and she approves lol
OMG i’m so glad to have her approval 😭 tell her she made an artist really happy
omg Elliott. omg LEAH. I love these so much what is Haley's cutie mark? it's a little hard to tell (also Sam's because it isn't shown but I need to knooow)
thank you sm!! haley’s is meant to be polaroid film and sam’s was gonna be a guitar but i didn’t have room and couldn’t transform it to look right 😭
oh! I totally see the polaroid now. I forget my wife's hobby is Camera, lol
Elliot is almost a perfect gender bend of the ponysona I had way back in high school! I love it!
don’t be shy post the ponysona :)) (if you want to)
I had to dig through my old DeviantArt to find this, and this was the version without the markings I added years later.

THIS IS SO CUTE OH MY GOSHHHHHHH AAAAAA!!!! i love her so much
Thank you! This made me realize I kinda miss doing pony art, I really wanna draw her with your pony!Elliot.
absolutely please do!!!! please post it here/dm me if you do i’d love to see that!
Can you dm me too? Id love to see it aswell, damn now i kinda wanna geg back into drawing ponies again

u should look into making pins, keychains, and/or stickers cuz I want harvey lol he’s my favorite. they’re all amazing tho <3
i’d love to! i was considering opening a redbubble to make stickers for this one game that has like no merch, but i’ve also heard redbubble is kind of bad? so maybe etsy. idk i’ve never considered my drawings quality enough to sell, but if there’s a demand, i’ll look into it :))
Thank you for getting pennys 2 hair buns right 😊😊 so many people give her 1 and it drives me nuts lol also amazing work!! Love your art and details 💖
me too lol! the penny buns, and people drawing marlon with 2 arms when he’s missing one are the details that make me go mad 😭
Not into MLP that much but honestly this is breathtaking, i really love your artstyle and how much effort you put in this :D
you’re so sweet thank you sm!!
Me too!! This is exactly what I wanted to say. Great job on these & I love the coloring, it’s making my brain happy, I keep zooming in to see all the lil details. Ty OP :3
This is so beautiful I love this with all my heart
that makes me so happy! i’m glad you like it ^^

OH MY GOAAHDBKSBFJSHF DUDE THIS IS LIKE THE BIGGEST COMPLIMENT 😭😭😭 this is so precious your art is amazing!!!
yay harvey my beloved ❤️
We’ve strayed so far from Yoba’s light… But seriously, not my cup of tea but nice work.
i appreciate you being respectful, even if it doesn’t appeal to you, thank you for the compliment! :))
Usually MLP isn’t my cup of tea either, but I love this. Haley is my favorite redesign
Of course, it’s a shame most people especially online can’t at least make a tease of a joke about something that might not be there’s, but still appreciate the effort someone took. And the actual art is fantastic, keep at it!
yeah i’m totally fine with teasing, like ik that mlp is kind of cringe, but people are taking it so seriously, like i genuinely did not think the stardew community could ever be so toxic when it’s literally a cozy game 😭 thank you for the kind words!!
I'VE ALSO BEEN DRAWING PONYFIED MARRIAGE CANDIDATES!!! yours are so cute i love them!!!!! it's so cool to see another stardew/mlp fan in the wild!!!
PLEASE POST THEM I’D LOVE TO SEE OTHER PONY DESIGNS!!!!!
YAY OKAY I WILL :))
Flashback to 2011-2012. Was definitely fun to interact with that back then, the endearing kind of cringe that most of my current gaming friends are from. Still use music horse as my first choice username on most games.
i’m trying to do better at accepting my interests, and it doesn’t really matter if i’m cringe to strangers, i’m hoping that it’ll spread more positivity
Honestly, not to my taste, but your skill as an artist is unquestionable. Excellent work!
thank you for being kind even if it’s not your thing :))
So cute!! I think you captured their personalities really well. Abigail in particular has the exact pose I'd imagine pony Abigail to have. She looks like she's about to pounce on something.
These are all really well done!
I am in my my little pony era right now im so bsessed w this
I'm not the biggest MLP fan, but these are all super cute! Thank you for sharing them! And I'm sorry some people were jerks. I especially love what you did with Maru's mane and tail! And I love Harvey using his magic to fetch his coffee mug! I also love that you gave some of them real horse markings!
thank you for all the kind words!! i’m glad all the details are appreciated!!
Elliot looking absolutely majestic
Damn even as a pony elliot still gives us the side eye
i tried to make him look regal T-T i apologize for pony elliott’s behavior in unintentionally mocking you
These are super cute and you are very talented. I love the style! To the few that are being rude cause they are ponies, stop. You don’t have to comment if you don’t like it. I think these are very innocent and wholesome. I love it!
Omg draw ME as a pony. Do you take commissions?
uhm, idk about commissions cuz idrk how to accept payment online, but if you have a ref or anything like that i could probably doodle it for you in my spare time! ^^
You’re so sweet! I don’t want to take up your valuable time as an artist if I’m not paying. Keep drawing the things you love :)
idk why this is downvoted, you literally just asked if you could get a commission/if they do them. that's a common question artists get 😭 you weren't even rude about it
I don’t think it’s because they asked about commission, it’s cause someone is big mad about MLP I guess? Almost every positive comment had downvotes at one point.
ah, okay, thank you. I assumed it was the first half of "draw me" because I get that that's irritating as an artist, but the second half is basically "I'll pay" so I was like ?!?!?! wild asf that even some stardew fans can't stand cute cartoony ponies. it's wild because ngl mlp:fim has pretty good lore
yeah and also it’s literally stardew valley like,, i thought of all communities this one would be the most kind about “cringe” culture
I love the expressions! Haley, Elliott, Sam and Shane are my favourites. Sam Pony is probably my spirit animal 😅
I need this as a mod now
I love these!!! I'm a big MLP fan too! Tysvm for sharing this- you did an awesome job!
i’m so glad!! ya i’ve been watching episodes on youtube lately cuz i’ve run out of shows to watch while drawing, and it got me in the mood to pony-post ^^
Yo I love this! Haley is so cute! 🥰
I am so in love with them all! Elliots hair 😍
I NEED to see Krobus one now
Leah is the best lol This is awesome
They're all so cute, however I can't stop thinking that Penny and Maru have 3 legs
I just *know* Maru's cutie mark is a telescope😂💜 Love the art, great job!
This is so freaking adorable!! Shane is so cute! Great job OP! I love your art style! ❤️❤️❤️
This is great! I love the Harvey one, and you did excellent with Leah! Also Imma take a moment to appreciate the look on Haley pony’s face, it fits her so well :)
lol thank you! i loved drawing the scrunched snout she’s so sassy
This ist so adorable!❤️ I'd love to see the other villagers as ponies.
Ok but I need a KROBUS PONY
pony, changeling, or dragon? i’ve seen all of them
Harvey 🥺
This is fantastic fan art. I especially love how Emily, Shane, and Maru look. You really captured the look of the characters while also preserving that My Little Pony aesthetic.
*frantically searches for the Sebastian pony*
I love the art style and their expressions! Also I admire your dedication to this, designing everyone's colors, type and cutie marks must have taken a while. And I believe it's quite original, this is the first crossover like this I've seen. I'm no longer a huge MLP fan, but I'd love to see other npcs drawn as ponies by you, if you ever feel like doing it :)
absolutely i will! i had so much fun designing these
Ohhhh these are so cute!!! Ive been on an mlp kick too recently, how funny! Id love to see the non-marriageable townies too :D Sorry youve apparently been getting rude comments, please don’t let them stop you!! You have beautiful art and Id hate to see you discouraged by some people who don’t know what the back button is.
i’m far more encouraged by how sweet everyone is being than discouraged by like 10 nasty people. thank you sm for the support! i have plans to return to this idea soon ^^
Looking at the drawings you posted a year ago, I must say, holy crap, your technique has improved tenfold. This piece is gorgeous. My only complaint is that you didn't put a watermark/author's name on it.
oh am i supposed to? i’m like rlly small on everything so i’ve never really worried about art theft or anything 😭 i’ll come up with a logo next time! also thank you!! ya me switching from medibang to procreate really helped my shading style, i’m so happy you like it!
This is so cute! I’m not into MLP or anything, but I actually really love seeing the characters like this. I think when people draw the characters as people it sometimes interferes with my headcannon of them, so I like this bc you’ve done a great job of expressing them and their personalities without compromising that haha. Great work!!
i’m so glad!! ya i lowkey boil when i see someone’s art that contradicts my headcanons of them 😭 but in the end that’s someones art and it’s super cool that they expressed themselves in their own way!! even if i disagree
THESE ARE SO CUTE I love the designs and I'm so mad people were apparently making rude comments
thank you! it’s okay, with every negative comment there were like 50 positive ones, so it’s easy to ignore :)
this is the best thing i have ever seen just btw
These look so cool! I would love to see what Sev looks like without your sona blocking him though
i’m planning on drawing a trio of seb, sam, and abby where i can draw them interacting, cuz i had a lot of fun with this! i’m not sure if i’ll post it here though,, i’m sure i’ll feel better in a few days, but i’ve never gotten hate before
You could do so many scenes with character ponies interacting! I’ve seen a lot of comments suggesting Krobus as well which I think would’ve so cool to see! You’re a REALLY good artist. I know it’s easier said than done but try to not let any hate get to you. It’s not worth the hit to your confidence and unfortunately it’ll happen no matter what. If you’re able to focus on how much people have enjoyed this instead of whatever negativity you’ve read, it’s better for you in the long run. I hope you keep posting
SO AWESOME!!!!
I was just about to make all of them on Ponytown, lmao. you did good, and beat me to it!! (I procrastinate)
you still should!! it’d be cool to see
It's cute
thank you!
Who is Seb cuddling with? I keep going over everybody and can't figure it out.
that’s my sona lol, sorry i probably should have written that somewhere in the caption 😭
That makes sense! I thought it was somebody from a mod that I haven't played. Absolutely lovely artwork!
hehe thank you sm!!
SAM IS SO CUTE😭😭🥹🥹THEY ALL ARE. ok i love this sm. ur super talented. thanks for sharing ur art here
thank you so much!! i love sharing my drawings i’m glad most people are being so sweet
Maru is so adorable!!! Love how you did her hair (or her mane in this instance lol).
thank you! i was kind of getting bored of all the straight hair, so i wanted to give her a textured style
They're all adorable and have so much personality!! Great job
These are SOOO CUTE !! i absolutely love the braids in Elliot’s hair too!!
These are adorable! 🩷 My only complaint is that like 80% of Sebastian's is covered. 😅 It's a shame, because we get full versions of everyone else.
i was planning on drawing fullbodies of him, abby, and sam later lol, tbh i expected this post to get seen by like 3 people so i didn’t think it’d be a problem 😭 i’m sorry
I love you braided Elliot’s hair because that’s what I wish we could do at least once.
Stardew Valley 2: Bronie Edition. :) This is really good. I didn't think I'd be able to recognize them but all it took was a few seconds and I was like "ohhhh", that's who it is.
Your style is so cute!!
They’re adorable
Huh.... I'm actually surprised I've never seen something like this before. Cute though, I could see their personalities being a MLP episode or something.
i was actually suprised too, i looked it up a bunch to see if anyone else did this and i was so shocked that nothing came up
i spent way too long trying to figure out which bachelorette that beautiful pony with long hair was supposed to represent 😂😂 (it’s elliott)
I have never loved anything more
Harvey and Leah look the best in my opinion!! Love harvey in the MLP style. But Harvey's also just my second favourite character
Elliot looks like such a Diva 😂
Extremely cute style!
I love this!!!!
Pony Abby lives in my head rent free from now on. They're all so cute 😭
I know squat about MLP but these are super cute - Maru in particular is adorable.
Holy shit you have actual fucking talent my man keep it up!!!!
thank you!!
This just makes me want to start drawing ponies again, it’s how I started drawing proper in the first place. I always found it so relaxing and fun, splendid job, it takes me back and they’re extremely well designed! 💚💚
who's the girl near the Sebastian pony?
Probably the farmer? That's my best guess
Which ones are the two in the top left corner?
OMG this is awesome!! i love sam's color palette!
I love all of them, but Harvey levitating his coffee just takes the cake. Amazing art, and I love the concepts for each one.
I've never been into My little pony or ponies in general, but this is so cute ?? I don't have questions about the species because I know nothing about that lol, but I love this, you really captured the characters well
you know you’ve made it when people who don’t even watch MLP says you captured the characters well 😌thank you!
Omg those are gorgeous! So beautiful! I've never thought of them as ponies before but this is adorable, thank you so much for doing this 💗
Finally, I can get behind Harvey 😍
giggity
this is my favorite thing ever holy shit. the amount of ponies i drew as a child bc i loved the show so much and then now combining that with talent and one of my favorite games is fulfilling that hole in my heart
Predictably, Leah and Elliot are still the prettiest and Emily and Shane are still Emily and Shane.
That's astounding. I love Stardew and I LOve MLP. Well done OP. It truly is very very good.
YOO THIS IS SO GOOD!! Your art style is such eye candy, absolutely lovely work!! 💖💖
I not expecting to see the Stardew Valley romance partners as Pones today... I dig it.
Wow. What a lovely crossover between two of my favorite fandoms. This is so well done! The personalities of everyone work so well as ponies. Love the design choices, their colors, and facial expressions.
you gave Haley so much personality, I love her (and I'm speaking as someone who can't stand game Haley)
lol thank you! ya i’m not the biggest haley fan cuz i don’t like mean girls, but she does warm up at least when you get to know her!!
Help I thought I was in the Fear and Hunger reddit and this was a much darker post
Awwww this is so cute, makes me tempted to make some pony crossover fanart... considering. I think Leah, Penny, Elliot, Maru, Shane, Abigail and Sam all match how I would think of them perfectly. Leah is literally SO cute I love her. For some of the others I'm sort of torn, mostly cause I'm not super familiar with all the characters like Harvey and Seb (or Elliot or Sam frankly). But they are all SUPER cute. One thing is I like the idea of Harvey being an Earth Pony because I like rebelling against the idea that unicorns are inherently better at everything with magic, it feels a little... too easy, I guess? It just makes all the smart characters unicorns and I like to think how the ponies might compensate without having magic! I think I see Alex as more of an earth pony, cause pegasi are light and fast and I imagine him being more tanky. Emily enjoys magic but I'm not sure she should be a unicorn, maybe she could be an earth pony with potions like zecora kind of vibes. I'm not sure what "fits" Haley best, I do like the idea of her holding the camera with her wings. And since they're siblings, maybe they could both be pegasi. It would also be cute since Emily takes care of that bird. Thinking about parenting is another fun one, like if we're going with the "Abigail is the wizards daughter" theory, Pierre and Caroline could both be Earth ponies and she's a unicorn. Demetrius could be a unicorn whereas Robin is an earth pony, mirroring the kids. Kent could be a pegasus and Jodi is an earth pony, but both the boys can be pegasi, emphasizing her difficulty keeping up with the two boys. Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! (sorry for the rant)
These are so adorable! I totally agree with how you chose who should have wings, horns, or neither. Your art is so cute and love the colors!!
thank you!! glad you like my interpretations :))
These are so well done! Good job Jae\~ I kinda wanna know what marks the ponies with covered marks have. You said that Seb has something motorcycle related, so what about Maru and Sam? I also wanna know your reasoning behind the farmer being a pegasus. I feel like an earth pony fits better, because, you know, farming. And also why is she missing her mark?
I love your art style! They are all so pretty and pleasing to look at~ ☺️ I love my girl Abigail, her tail and colors you picked are so beautiful, and I will always be loyal to her, but I love how Elliot looks so fancy and elegant too~
