As an artist, what are your thoughts regarding Starlight Glimmer's human design in the EG specials? Do you consider the look to be all good, or are there certain elements that you're more critical of?
Oh, Iāve expressed a handful of times that I think her EqG design is absurdly sexy.
Iām like āWho designed her to be so damn alluring looking in a kids/pre-teen show?ā But maybe itās just subjective and she happens to literally hit all my buttons by pure coincidence. A lot like Sunset in that regard.
Iāve got nothing to be critical of the design itself. Other than her general color scheme, but thatās an old argument that applies to pony Starlight as well, and itās not one I care to reiterate.
About the only critique I have of EqG Starlight is her eyesānot her eyes themselves; God her eyes make me swoon as they are. But theyāre nothing like her pony eyes.
Pony Glimmer has the very generic standard-round pony eyes. Iāve always been a proponent of making the characters more visually unique, so in a sense I like her eyes as a human. And while Iād kinda like for her pony eyes to look more like her human eyes, such a retroactive change would probably be really jarring to a lot of people, including me, ironically.
So sheās probably gonna have these inconsistent eyes forever and itās always gonna low-key bug me but aaaaaaaaaugh such is the life of artist.
In anycase, no I donāt really have any significant criticism of Starlight Glimmerās human design; theyāre more just observations. Iām actually really impressed by her design, and frankly itās 2nd only to Sunset Shimmerās current look.
