Description So I did promise some more G1 Pones but with a bit of minor inconvenience, the 80s ponies have been delayed for a little bit, but thankfully I have some pictures to do with tomorrow's episode which won't be uploaded until Sunday so watch out for those! 

But before that, we'll still take a trip in time, to the 1990s! The decade here bought us the 2nd generation of My Little Pony, being released in 1997 after G1 was discontinued in 1995. Here is Ivy, who is one of more notable ponies and was seen as the face of the generation appearing on most of the merchandise. It's also a generation I really like but not one a lot of people talk about and sadly there's reasons for that...the brand was not successful in North America and was only discontinued the following year in 1998. However it was much more successful in Europe, and lasted there until 2002 when the franchise was rebooted again for G3. 

It's a shame really, as I do love a lot of the characters and how they look. I wanted to draw them for a good while but have always been put off, and for a good reason. G2 does not have a cartoon (No MLP Tales doesn't count) and this makes referencing the characters A LOT harder. I didn't want to draw the same styles they have on the actual toys as it would look too repetitive, I tried to come up with something and it looks fine to be fair. I added a hairband since I thought it'd fit in nicely and I do really like the pose too! The colouring is alright, not great, but not terrible either. Overall it's decent wouldn't you say? 

Anyway hope you all like this! More G2 pones will be on the way, but until then feel free to comment and fave and tell me what you think

Ivy/My Little Pony belongs to Hasbro

Ah, I love the G2 ponies. As you can probably work out, the G2 toys were the main generation out when I was a kid. Fluttershy in G4 was always a nice call back to the design of Sky Skimmer. And there were the Princess versions of the G2 gang, though Ivy was much more fun in her standard look than her princess design.

I love how you've drawn Ivy here... it makes her a lot more unique than her standard design with a long pink mane and tail and the darker blue suits her well. There was far too much pink in G2. Her pose looks so playful and charming too ^^

Thank you Lauren! I always kinda figured that G4 Flutters was partly inspired by Sky Skimmer (and she'll be coming too!) I prefer a lot of the standard designs as well tbh but there is a lot of good looking mares and stallions in the 2nd gen!

Glad you like the design! It's not easy coming up with unique styles for any pony generation, but I'm glad you like Ivy

I can't disagree there. G2 had some great ponies. And I'm glad I was growing up in the UK so I got to actually see the whole line ^^ 

But your version of Ivy is great

It's puzzled me why I've never heard anyone even mention the 2nd gen. You made it clear for me now that there barely was anything that could be mentioned in the first place, huh. The mare lookin' cute though, yeea I'd have the same excited look if I had a cutie mark of such a remarkable design, oh yee.

Thanks! Glad I taught you a bit of MLP history It's a shame though how G2 was so buried like this, it deserved more.

Fair enough It's a shame really it had no cartoon, it doesn't help it's obscurity.
