Superhero Twilight Sparkle, digital illustration, 2012
I happen to enjoy My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic quite a lot, but I was not too thrilled at this. The idea is good - the mane six ponies, as human superheroes! But the execution bothered me - improbable poses designed to show as much T&A as possible, shiny skin, ridiculously exaggerated body types, skimpy costumes, every figure with the same skin tone… somehow it managed to hit on every artistic trope that bothers me about mainstream superhero comics.
So I decided to sit down and make my own interpretations of the MLP:FIM crew as superheroines. This is the first illustration of that series. It’s Twilight Sparkle. Her superpower is magic (obviously), and her enchanted cloak (an item of her own design and creation) doubles as an invisibility cloak and teleportation device.

I love it. She reminds me a little of the new Captain Marvel uniform. Was that any sort of inspiration?
