Stop using Celestia's wings from the Pony Creator


Recommended Posts

I have a pegasus with luna's bodytype and therefore gave her luna's wings, too. I don't quite see the problem with that.

Luna's wings are UNIQUE. Nopony else has them. If I am proven wrong in-show, so be it! However, at this point in time nopony should have any wing type other than the normal Pegasus wings.

Also, supposing that pegasi can grow to that size on their own (And Fleur de Lis suggests so), why wouldn't the wings grow with them?

Though they would indeed be larger, the overall shape would stay the same.

But my pegasus Character has already been accepted WITH her wings exactly how they are, she's a tall lanky pony with wings big enough to support her body....

Yes, it was something that was being missed by the staff... Celestia's wings are the only ones that should have been able to ever make it through, as they do look close to that of a regular Pegasus, if you don't pay attention. Also, don't the wings grow with the size of your pony on the generator?

No they don't they stay pretty tiny, so if I went by the Pony Gen she'd be a tall lanky pony with stubby wings that would never lift her off the ground.

I just messed with the generator... if the Pegasus wings don't fit your Pegasus, your Pegasus is too big. That goes for anyone. If they look a little too small, just mention that they are bigger than the picture, if anything. We all know that they'll be able to carry your Pegasus, obviously. : P

Plus I fail to see how the shape of the wings affects anything, QuickLime doesn't have magical Celestia wing powers from it...

Because they're unique. Nopony else has been shown to have that style or size of wings. It's the same as their horns, nopony else has one as long. Nopony else is as tall, and nopony else has astral hair. It's a unique trait, and if you're not a Princess, you just don't have it. :Luna:

Yeah I'm not going to change them in the pictures I drew of her, and I find this an unreasonable demand, to be honest.

As a comparison:

Why doesn't Fleur have one of those stubby unicorn horns anymore, just bigger? Are you going to agrue that Unicorn horns can grow with the body, but wings stay the same form, just grow in size?

Actually, it only a question of aestetics, since this has nothing to do with anything RP related. There are no incredible flying powers related with Celestia's of Luna's wings. The reason why they look different is most likely because they are less simplified, since they are bigger.

If you're talking about Opal Shards, the wings in her profile picture were bent (therefore at an odd angle) and can totally pass for normal wings. You are safe. :)

Nice catch! And I would say... yes! Horns remain the same shape, why shouldn't wings? If you were born with those wings, they are the wings you will always have. Though Luna has grown in size from season 1 to season 2, her wings have not changed.

Also, as a side note... prosthetics COULD be used by rich ponies... including a fake horn. It's a tough call, and is may require further staff input as far as the horn length goes.

They are as unique as their astral hair.

I literally lifted those wings off of a Luna picture from the Luna Eclipsed. And the pose. And the body type.

May I ask why a purely aesthetic choice like that is such an issue? It's wings. They don't even have their own point in the character description. They don't give you any powers. They don't even stand out so much, otherwise this would have come up sooner.

Bigger versions of the usual pegasus wings look weird on bigger ponies. We know they can grow to Luna's size at least. Fleur de Lis proofed that much. I would understand if you were going after the butterfly wings or the weird steampunk wings, but this, I don't understand.

At the end of the day, it's just an artists despiction, and if we go after the ponycreator ponies with Celestia's wingtype, we might as well look through all the drawn pictures and sort out all those that follow a different aesthetic.

Hm, maybe a link then? Perhaps I'm not seeing what you're seeing. Fleur actually looks like she has the body type of Luna... but as she doesn't have wings, that doesn't say anything about that. Body type is fine, wing style is not.

Again (since this is now an issue)...

may require further staff input

Luna wings are a definite no, but as Celestia wings have been able to slide by... we'll see.

Same answer as before:

They are as unique as their astral hair.

Bottom line is, if your character is not a princess, they aren't going to have them.

I'm just sort of afraid this will turn into "Oh yeah that DJ hair? You need to stop using it because only Vinyl has it in the show" or "Oh now your pony needs to be STRICTLY this height /weight because their only this height/ weight" in the show..

Eh, ponies have slid by as tall as Luna... even before Fleur De Lis. As tall as Luna is about the limit, although more muscle tone is fine. The pony generator only has so many hair styles, and heck, people in real life share the same hairstyles. It's going to happen. Psh, it's already happened more times than I'd care to research, because hair can be styled. To bring up wings again... you can't style those, they have to be natural or fake. The only other thing (I can think of) that anypony will specifically get called on is having the same Cutie Mark as somepony else... which you'd probably appreciate anyway!

Er in the show don't we sorta constantly see double or triple of the same cutie mark on ocassion? :blush:

We also see five of the same pony in one scene. Doesn't mean they have clones! XD

-shoves Derpy out of frame- Riiight no clones.

I guess I can kind of see where you are coming from with the wings, so I apologize for any hostility, I was mostly just upset with the idea of having to remake all my images over again... :wail:

Save or not, here:

If we accept that Fleur de Lis is canon, then how can anyone argue the uniqueness of those "princess" features anymore? If anything, it would make more sense that the princesses have normal wings, since they are an amalganation of the traits of all 3 pony types? Why shouldn't the princesses have pegasi wings?

I weep when we get to see a Luna-sized pegasus in a future episode with Luna-style wings.
