Description Dream team of Dancing Butterflies, Gingerbread and Sundance.

Although Dancing Butterflies never made an appearance in the animated series and was only a part of the toyline,
I adore her design and color scheme. I think she would make an enchanting and sweet character.
Having her in my collection was a big dream, but sadly, she wasn't available in my country :<
Maybe someday...

Two things.
One, this pictures are amazing.

Two, would you consider doing one of this for the "Original Six" ponies? (the 6 original toys designed in 1982)

haha oh thanks β™₯ To be honest, in the old intros there were two parts when I wanted to join these little colorful monsters so badly - sliding down the rainbow, and the part when they ran across the screen from Paradise Estate (00:18 until the end www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wscI-… )

There's a user on yt that has most of the stuff, the vids are not private so they should be easy to fing, the quality is so-so but better than nothing, right?
I'll link it your way once I find her...and if all fails, well we can always use dropbox

Woo hoo! Look at that. Some old faves!

I own a Dancing Butterflies and I never thought I'd find her so lovely but she really is striking. Mine will need tbe mane and taim recurled and she might need some cleaning up bit overall she's in excellent condition. I don't have Sundance yet but I do have a Gingerbread and she needs a new hairdo. Whomever owned her before me thought it would be cool to give her a haircut. T.T

Still lovely work on this. Each hs an endearing expression and their movement is fluid. You've definitely depicted Dancing Butterflies as the most feminine of the bunch with that long hair ribbon. I also like that the butterflies around her seem to be dancing. Maybe that's how she got her name. Even as a filly butterflies were drawn to her and fluttered in the gentle breezeof her wings.

You know . . . I really think she could be Fluttershy's mother. Just saying.... ^^

Glad you enjoyed them, for the G1 ponies I still have about 6-7 folders to go (which also include the Flutter Ponies) and then there's still G2 waiting to be done after...So nostalgia will be coming up in small portions

Ah, haircuts...as a child I wasn't afraid to "beutify" my dolls but I never touched the ponies in such way, they were way to precious to risk a disaster

I'm glad you think so, I was actually aiming for a feminine, motherly look. Among all TAF ponies she strikes me as the most...mature for sume reason. Second would be Sugarberry and Love Melody hem.bredband.net/b593159/tAF%2…

I like the idea of DB being Flutter's mom. First I thought Posey would seal the deal on that, but it's a bit creepy for me how so much alike they would be. DB gives that motherly figure factor. And she is a pegasi so we have that...

equigoyle In reply to CigarsCigarettes [2015-01-07 02:04:45 +0000 UTC]

True on both counts; mother figure and a pegasi. And on the cutting dolls hair thing...never did that.

I may try doing a spring themed image featuring Fluttershy and Dancing Butterflies. It'd be part of my calender project. They'd be really pretty together. Just need to figure out who Fluttershy's father might be....

So pretty. I know how you feel about not being able to get certain ponies in your country. I have the same problem depending on what I'm looking for as well. Good luck getting your dream pony.

PrettyWitchDoremi [2014-12-29 20:41:10 +0000 UTC]

Whoa!!! Everything here is freaking amazing! The anatomy is freaking perfect and the poses have this really nice, majestic flow to them. The colors are stunning and well shaded. The background, yet simple, just compliments the ponies and just adds this... I dunno... 'wholeness'.... xD Β I also like the ribbon on Dancing Butterflies. Really cool~! Β  The depth perception blurring you added here is a really nice, subtle touch!

Everything about this is so amazing.... I'd buy this as a print if dA would let you!! (and if I had moniesβ€”//shot) xD

I hope you get to add Dancing Butterflies to your collection someday!

CigarsCigarettes In reply to PrettyWitchDoremi [2015-01-02 16:47:11 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much for the praises ^^
With the G1 drawings I wanted to keep a very simple background, like you said, just to compliment the ponies and bring the old MLP backgrounds to mind.
Plain and simple, but on the other hand, an element that's in all my pieces with the G1 ponies to make the whole collection...well...whole

hahaha I think it's big enough to actually sell as a print I work on big formats so most of my drawings would be available. Once I get a hold of PayPal and the money flow here on dA I'll probably open a dA store Who knows.

I got Dancing Butterflies when I was 3 years old. I still have her 25 years later! She is a bit dirty and her mane/tail are messy, but she is still one of my most prized possessions.Β

CigarsCigarettes In reply to CharmHeart86 [2014-12-29 19:53:04 +0000 UTC]

A prized possession is a thing really close to heart I can relate. I have a plethora of ponies from the G2 toyline, I cleaned out the dirty bodies but the manes are still to be worked with after my niece terrorized them. But these are the toys I will NEVER part with. I gave most of my childhood toys and plushies to various institutions and families but these gems will stay with meβ™₯

I don't think Dancing butterflies is to hard or expensive to obtain, I got her for a pretty decent price! Maybe you could find someone who would trade one for a commission? Either way. you captured her stunningly. She is one of my faves too. I've always wanted to draw her, the Twice as fancy ponies are my face set. ^^

(oh, your art is super cute, why haven't I watch you sooner?!) I don't think it's super expensive, than agin, I don't think that many people have her...so...I'm not sure on this issue. Secondly, USD isn't my currency so for me it would still be a cost of a rare collective piece ^^ Though I'm sure a pony in fine state is worth it.
I would love the idea of trading her for art, even printing and shipping the artwork to the other party. I think I'll use thise idea in the upcoming year, thank you for the suggestion

So pretty! My twin collects the toys as well, and we work to restore them. C:
I haven't seen a Dancing Butterflies, yet, sadly, but that's mostly because our toys are bought from bags we find at the thrift store. xD

I love this work! I bet she would have been a cute character!

Ah I love thrift stores! It's like finding little presents β™₯ I only found old cartoon DVDs (like Swan Princess or Land before time) in the 'gadgets & home' section, sadly, no MLP (only some 'made in China' wannabe ponies). But good luck to your twin on further quests in the thrift's
