    What is everyone's thoughts on humanised pony based Images? I can recall many arguing over whether that exploits and degrades the innocence of the original designs, and many that argue by saying it's just a fun and creative perspective despite it being popular in Fetishes. I for one think that it is perfectly acceptable to include 'Hunies' as a legitimate fan art form. Some people just feel more comfortable applying Human anatomy to the pony form. It can be extremely cute and innocent in its own way. I don't think people should defy all possibility of Humanised Ponies as vulgar or perverted, I think it has its own charm. I for one struggle to draw images of my pony self where I don't have Human female aspects, but alas I have only drawn one;

    (By the way, the lack of underwear was not unintentional. In MLP FIM There are plenty of ponies with jackets, vests, tops etc yet lack any type of attire on the lower part of their body, I hope this image wasn't offensive, because it certainly wasn't intended to be.)

    So, I'm very curious. What do you think about them? Do you appreciate it or find it a little unsettling, perhaps even repulsive? I'm curious to know everyone's preferences.

    I personally don't have much of an opinion on it to say the least.

    When it comes to various styles of depicting something, I find more appreciation in the art style to a much higher degree than the subject. Then again, I'll find myself studying both aspects of a pictures at the same time; the style and the subject in regards to how I could improve my own stuff.

    In regards to this form of art specifically, I kind of enjoy it as it allows me to view both human aspects and pony aspects simultaneously.

    Refreshing to hear.

    There are these certain benefits for having multiple views on anatomies and body structures to allow you to establish your own preference. That's why I'm quite fond of the original pony structure, but i admire the creativeness in the alternative. :smile: Still, I wish some others weren't so quick to assume that it's only associated with Pornographic content. I'm pretty sure every Cartoon/fandom/show that has existed will have some level of sexual content linked to it. It's unavoidable.

    In any case, humanize ponies are a thing that is possible. However, anthro is just... wierd.

    My Little Ponies are already vaguely anthropomorphic
    In that they are the joints.

    All of the joints.
    They are human joints. Except when they walk.

    So im not quite comfortable with this i have to admit. I watch ponies to see ponies. I also dont need humanised pokemon. So also there ist the problem to differ between well... 18+ stuff and other. I think the picture you made is quiet cute, but since it is humanised i think under wear would be better. Since you know... someguy just maybe sees something wrong in the picture. And also yeah.. i feel like their innocence is kind of taken away.
    I would not rage aabout theing them, but i would never search fr humanised ponies or whatever. =)

    I like it, naturally. The only thing I have to say about it, if I may, is the eyes. Something about them in that picture makes them look hollow or bereft of life in some way, like a doll.

    On the subject of humanization or anthropromorphization, I prefer ponies and humanized, but can never really get into the anthro stuff as much for some reason.

    Well, keep it up at any rate. :grin:
