Art shit

He was not born with this white, gold and blue coloration, and was instead born with a dark blue coat, blond hair and pink eyes, but as he grew up and inherited the aspect of the Sun, his appearance changed, and he went from a unicorn to an alicorn.

His origin is from the exalted universe, where he's half Dorchadas (People of the air, a near extinct race of winged humans.), a quarter human, and a quarter dragon (grandson to the immaculate dragon of air, Mela).

Currently his mlp hybrid status is one half Pony, a quarter Tulpar (Winged horse, but different than the pegasus, known less for flight and more for speed. Origin; Central Asia), and a quarter Dragon (Specifically Eastern/Chinese Dragon) This... May change, as I'm basically trying to take a semi human character and as directly as possible transfer the details to mlp

This transfer to mlp has been a bit hard to figure out for me, as Pegasi exist and are prolific in the mlp verse, so I tried to find another horse/bird hybrid that would work. Now, I wasn't sure if Hippogryphs or Griffins would work, especially if I had two species with front claws (I'm including dragons in on this) so I instead decided to look elsewhere, and fudge which species took what slot.

This mixed heritage has produced some interesting results in Sunny's appearance, such as with his front hooves having three individual toes and a 'thumb'/dew claw, which he can grab with. Along with this, he has teeth adjusted more for meat, as he is mostly carnivorous, though can be semi omnivorous.

Tulpar are horses that have wings but don't use them for flight, if I've read everything correctly, and instead run as fast as a bird, making them uncatchable and untameable. I'm essentially translating Dorchadas pretty much one to one into the mlp verse as Tulpar, though Tulpar are specifically horses and not ponies, like Pegasi are in mlp, as well as living in plains and not mountains, like Dorchadas.
