Description I shoulda known I wouldn't be able to leave it alone.

Filigree was meant to be a one-shot 'what if' type of thing only, but she appears to have taken up a permanent residence in my head. I simply like her design, it's so easy to make her look all pretty and elegant.

Entirely pointless family-fluff. I used to climb all over my dad when I was little. And look at little Filigree showing mommy Rarity the biggest gem she's ever seen, and she found it all by herself like big filly!

... God, I just realized this is the first time EVER I've drawn either Spike or Rarity.

As much as I would love to see this happen, we both know that in the show Rarity will probably never give Spikey-wikey the time of day.

Well, for that to happen, Spike would definitely have to grow past the 'baby dragon' phase, so unlikely. But hey - it gives us free rein to play with the 'what if's.

True that, still not sure if a dragon/pony relationship would work for a dragon as large as myself though.

Nope, she's always been female. I think you may be thinking of my other dragon-pony character, Tinder, who indeed is male.

To me, they're just dragon-pony hybrids. There's no specific word for them.

Ah the dragon prince and his family. I think that technically makes both Rarity and Filligree the "dragon princesses" doesn't it?

just to say the result between a dragon and a unicorn would be a kirin/Quilin
with that said this is freaking cute

merrypaws In reply to book644 [2012-08-15 07:35:06 +0000 UTC]

No it isn't. Qilin/kirin is a completely different creature, not hybrid anything.
But thank you, I'm prety pleased with how it turned out myself.

i may have gotten my information wrong, but that wat you get when mixing fandom and the internet together. but it does look like a mixture between a dragon and unicorn or any other equine species

So awesome! A draconequs! It's okay if I call her that, right?

merrypaws In reply to Luckysweep [2012-08-01 06:43:51 +0000 UTC]

I don't mind. I don't really know if there is a word for what she is, other than 'hybrid'.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Luckysweep In reply to merrypaws [2012-08-01 14:38:11 +0000 UTC]

Well, the show said a Draconequs was part dragon, part pony, so I guess it would be right.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

merrypaws In reply to Luckysweep [2012-08-01 16:33:15 +0000 UTC]

Actually, they said that draconequs had 'the head of a pony, and a body made of all sorts of things', not only dragon. (Yes, I actually watched the episode just to check.) In that sense I don't think even draconequs is perfectly accurate.

To be frank, I'm a little confused as to why people feel the need to try and put some name on her. To me, she's just a dragon-pony mixed breed.

Technically Discord's a chimera and he doesn't have the head of a pony. It's a goat's head.

merrypaws In reply to barney-nedward [2013-02-07 23:24:11 +0000 UTC]

I admit I'm a bit confused about how to classify him. He actually resembles quite a few mythical creatures, so I decided to save myself the headache by going with what they called him in the show.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 0

Luckysweep In reply to merrypaws [2012-08-01 16:49:56 +0000 UTC]

Well, I thought that the description was only for discord. That is why I thought that a Dragon-Pony would be called a Draconequs. As for the naming thing, it is just human (Or pony) Nature to try and put a name to something we have never seen before. If something doesn't have a name, we will give it a name.

It is like how many have decided to call a Changeling-Pony a halfling. I don't know why we do that, we just try to put a name to something new.
