Lauren Posts Additional FiM Concept Sketches

Of the best pony, of course. These are only three of many! Find the rest here, on her gallery!

I'll copy her descriptions of them, starting with the one above:

"Sketch of Rarity for 2008 MLP:FiM pitch bible. Don't hold this attitude against her. I'm sure whoever she's snubbing said something rather uncouth!"

Find the other ones after the break!



"Sketch of Rarity for 2008 MLP:FiM pitch bible. High maintenance, you think?"

Sketch of Rarity for 2008 MLP:FiM pitch bible. The original concept for her boutique was that it was a cross between a shop and a merry-go-round called Carousel Couture. Originally, Rarity specialized in carousel designs, but that little detail didn't make it. Plus, bridles seemed to weird everyone out, which is understandable.

high maintenance indeed.

Areani said...

Awesome. I think the descriptions are swapped though

Temp1261 said...

It would be Cereal that would post this

Freakinator said...

What, that's not Pinkie.

Lazulic said...

Best pony? I must disagree

Stargazer said...

I like the first one, snoodie rarity is snoodie =P

Rarity in the second one "Maaaaaake OVER!"

DcmRulz said...

I think the quotes got switched.

Areani said...

And now they're correct. Quick catch cereal :P

TranceyLeCheval said...

Glamorous as always! <3 Heh heh heh "best pony". Can't disagree with you on that Cereal. B)

Benny Otter said...

Best pony? But I don't see any Rainbow Dash anywhere!

Joey Wonton said...

This is rather developed for 2008. That is planning to the MAX.

l0x0r said...

Why is Rarity so awesome? She's the best pony because she works hard at it.

Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML said...

Cereal was half-right. I- *Ahem* Pinkie was posted, but Cereal didn't post her or the third Rarity.

theexogenerate said...

Best Pony??? I don't see Rainbow Dash anywhere!!!

Parchment Scroll said...

Bridles... sudenly "The Back Room" seems almost canon.

Parchment Scroll said...

"Suddenly," even. Argh. Stupid no "edit" button.

Joey Wonton said...

@P. Pony Ponyson
That is the best 'First' I've ever seen, especially with the profile picture. Get that man a Medal.

theexogenerate said...

@Benny Otter wow, that's awkward. I posted a comment identical to yours, then noticed yours. Great minds think alike I guess.

James Corck said...

Understandable for good reasons. Those bridles look like S&M Gear!

Also, I see where Hasbro took the idea for the Carriage toy designs >_>

RaccoonBL said...

Best pony? I don't see Pinkie anywhere. And plus Faust did post Pegasus Pinkie on her Deviant.

bakimono said...

And worth every bloody second, dahling!

Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML said...

And now more are up.
Three More Pinkie, last having Dash, second having Fluttershy/Posey

One more Rarity.

sierus said...

Am I weird in liking the bridles?

Dracos Auron said...

That first one of Rarity reminds me of Boa Hancock from One Piece. When she looks down upon you.

WhiteDiamonds said...

Oh of course I would never hold it against her; it's obvious she has a good reason! Sillies.

And yes, Rarity has always been best pony. <3 These sketches are appropriately fabulous~!

wackyteen said...

<_< Why couldn't this be posted on the hour? I hate being late.

CharginChuck said...

@sierusSo, you're into the kinky stuff, hmm?

Rex Ivan said...

Rarity in a carousel outfit. I'm sure all the strapping young stallions would have loved that, and would have really enjoyed taking turns riding her around and around and around. :P

Cgeta said...

Bridles are kinky in Equestria!

DRTJR said...

so That is where the weird picture in the chariot toy came from. huh weird

Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML said...

The pitch concept explains why Carousel Boutique as a playset has a carousel inside with wingless Scootaloos to ride on.

RunnerRunner said...

@P. Pony Ponyson
I approve of this Firsting.
Why haven't I seen this before?
It definitely makes the whole 'first" thing a lot less annoying.

DJB123 said...

Yay, Rarity is best pony indeed!

David said...

Best "First" response ever. Well played, brony.

Love getting all these little insights into the guts of the show. Really shows how much care, thought, and brilliance went into it.

Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML said...

Rarity is pony.
Pinkie is Best Pony.

m00finsan said...

Best pony? Funny, I don't see a picture of Fluttershy anywhere.

ValentineRain said...

Rarity is my least favorite pony.

It's a testament to Lauren Faust's skill, then, that I enjoyed these anyway. :D

SuperGiantRobot said...

Rarity's ALLOWED to be a bitch.

Because she's a bitch in STYLE.

NDupree93 said...

@m00finsan
Don't mean to bother, but you misspelled Rarity there, and she's right up top if you look!

Basharoonskis said...

Cereal, you silly billy, she's still posting the sketches on her DA. There are way more than these three Rarity's, you should link to the gallery, tons of Pinkie/Surprise, Rainbow Dash, etc.

Oh, and for anyone else, here's her gallery: http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/gallery/

megantron said...

Rarity is seriously the best pony.

I can see why they'd be weirded out by bridles but the ponies always look cool wearing them. The last sketch doesn't really look like Rarity, but omg, carousel outfits *_____*

Flutterfan said...

Best pony? I don't see Rarity anywhere.

Oh wait there she is.

ShadowsPony said...

But, um, I think Fluttershy is, um, best pony, not Rarity. Sorry.

Puzzle Plate said...

Cereal it needs a Source. And yes i know who it is but still

Joey said...

Faust is awesome at making amazing cartoons but usually I hate the art. MLP is different it really works here and the sketches are beautiful.

Pixel Coder said...

Glad there's at least two other people here who know how to spell Fluttershy correctly.

Still, awesome pictures of second-best pony.

lamebunny said...

I love the sketches that we get to see. Its like, looking at the ponies baby pictures, kinda.

I thought the bridles were kinda neat, and I've seen them plenty on Rarity's outfits in various episodes in the background. Its a very horsey thing, you know?

bakimono said...

@P. Pony Ponyson That almost makes all of those other lame "First"ers worth while, just to set that up.

Son Goharotto said...

I imagine the problem with bridles is that when you apply them to sapient beings, they start to seem a bit too BDSM for children's television.

Dr. Pink E. Pie, OTML said...

In the immortal words of Rarity, "Bridles! BRIDLES EVERYWHERE!"

Rainbow Smashly said...

Tom is superior over you ruffians!

Rarity said...

@Rainbow Smashly
I thought we agreed we would never speak of this, again.

Alan Solivan said...

I can see what she meant about bridles. I mean, even here opposed to when the Diamond Dogs' grunts slapped them on the Mane 6, it looks a bit too fetishy for such a thing as this.

snowfi6916 said...

I am sooooo making her DevianArt page one of my favorites. Hehe.

Lauren...all of my money...take it!!! Thank you so much for these.

marioandsonic said...

But that's not Twilight...

SuperGiantRobot said...

Hey, bondage makes EVERYTHING 20% cooler.

Often in ten seconds flat.

Viola said...

Carousel Couture!
/wants

Harwick said...

I never argue with any "best pony" declaration, because they're all true simultaneously, somehow. I'm pretty sure Pinkie Pie can mathematically prove that.

Love Rarity though. So much comic gold in that pony.

Taliesin said...

Rarity, the best pony ever, making bondage apparel???

I'M OKAY WITH THAT!

Retl said...

Rarity in what looks a lot like Bondage gear?

That totally beats out balloons. I'm all for this.

Mike said...

Discord's in the concept art; all the way at the beginning!

http://fyre-flye.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4axlhy

DeRockProject said...

Yeah, I mean what are they, some kinda fetish suit or something? That's... gross or whatever you call that.

DeRockProject said...

Ok, you got it right. Bondage gear. That's like... animal porn! XD bluh...

Octavia said...

Lots of fun early sketches. :)

And inafter Rarity bondage comments. -_-;

ElectricZoNe said...

I would pay to see that MLP:FiM pitch bible. The wonders it contains @_@

ultra8 said...

Cool and very informative.
Nice to know she had things so planned out.

pikapika217 said...

Suddenly, that Carosel playset with Rarity makes a lot more sense.

Unknown said...

Wait a sec... there aren't sketches of Applejack! Foul I say! False advertising!

Nyerguds said...

Woo! I wake up, check EqD, and what do I get? Faust sketches!

Great start of the day B)

Profesor Rod said...

Bridles are fetish stuff in Equestria..... and in our world too e_e

Applejack85 said...

I'd love to see some sketches of the other ponies too, but getting to see any of this concept work is totally awesome no matter what!

Equestrian Knight said...

But I thought everypony was best pony, and I would love to see that pony bible and learn all its secrets.

HyaenusDominae said...

Bondage never looked so cute.
