During my exile from tvtropes, I got into contact with an artist named S. Sakurai through Deviantart, who has several webcomics to their name. They're a very skilled artist who specializes in drawings related to...my interests. Now, Sakurai is not a fan of My Little Pony, but they did agree to do humanized pony commissions for me. And they are very good indeed. We're talking Glanco Justicar or Egophiliac levels of quality. I'm going to share some of their work here, but I must warn you that if anyone goes looking for the full range on Derpibooru, be advised that in most of the drawings, the girls are still as naked as they are in the show, so it's mildly NSFW. The ones I'm showing below are the SFW ones. And here they are; The Power People! The girls at the Grand Galloping Gala! The Princesses of Night and Day! Rarihick and Applejewel! Fluttershy and more Applejack! And finally, Best Person Pinkie Pie, with her sister Maud!

I guess it's because they're the ones I think would work best in a human universe, or at least a human universe where everyone looks normal instead of anorexic. You hear that, Hasbro? I'm liking Rarity in her gown. Yes, Rarity is always good. Saddle Rager Fluttershy (both pics) is good too. I just can't see Pinkie as being that fat, sorry. She's just too active. I feel the same way about AJ. She wouldn't be looking like that with all of the work she puts in on the farm.

@ Japanese Teeth That aimed at me or Syd. Take a guess.

@ JT @ Syd I understand that fat versions of Pinkie (and especially AJ) are controversial, but it's all a matter of personal taste I guess. I got my reasons for why, but I think I went over them countless times so I won't do so again.

My opinion is "it's okay once in a while, but I don't personally think they'd look like that." Whatever floats your boat, dude.

And sure, I understand that not everyone (in fact, probably most people) don't like these versions of them. I think I said before, when I try to think of ways to justify them...I can't. I think you guys have won in the 'are they fat or not' argument. So it's literally just a matter of personal preference. I do however like the diversity of body types Sakurai uses for them though. The complete opposite of EG.

The only ones I can imagine as being realistically on the chubby side would be Twilight and Pinkie. Twilight because she generally prefers to coup herself up with a book to read, and Pinkie because no one could eat as much as she eats without putting on a little weight. Fluttershy is kinda on the fence; she probably isn't active enough to be considered athletic, but I don't see her eating enough to gain weight either, so unless her metabolism is horrible, I doubt she'd be particularly heavy. RD and AJ are both too active to put on weight, and Rarity is too image-conscious.

Didn't you once say one time too that this version of pinkie pie was pretty much how you envisioned a human version of her?

Depending on the context, yeah. I certainly can't imagine her being skinny.

Her being an earth (hence probably big boned) combined with her huge appetite and gluttony means that I can't see her being thin either. I actually see her as the physically largest of the girls; in the group shot sakurai did she's the second tallest after rarity and the physically largest. Ever see how she can scoop up all her friends into her hooves in one go? That's why I think she'd be a big girl.

She can also have six hooves if the script calls for it. I'm sure they can just as easily bend the rules about how strong she is. Pinkie isn't the pony to look to for canon strength and abilities.

By that logic there's no reason then why she couldn't be both fit and fat. Which actually suits her very well, because a big fat girl being so actively bouncy is very funny and funny is her thing. It's like how Homer Simpson can bounce over fences and run around a lot sometimes. Pure rule of funny.
