more crystal pony d— *crowds booing in the distance* uhoh im self inserting my oc into crystal pony lore. the ultimate sin. these doodles are basically designs for the crystal empire many many years before. obvs inspired heavily by ancient greece. because i sort of do all my crystal pony things by myself other than like one person, i decided to ignore the mlp comics and canon stuff, and say that jewelled harp (marina’s mom) was the first (self-proclaimed) leader of the crystal empire, but sombra wiped that knowledge from all the crystal ponies completely now so now she’s livin life alone playing her harp!! the crystal ponies didn’t necessarily have a leader when it first came into existence as a settlement, because they had the crystal heart to protect and take care of them. Harp is a natural leader-type so she slowly took the reigns (hahaha) and started acting like a representative for the Empire to other new groups of ponies emerging throughout equestria. She was very heavily against outside ponies though, seeing how much conflict they brought amongst each other and believed that the crystal ponies should stick to themselves, that they would do fine without others. thank u for reading all this if you did :> also i’ve never drawn a full body dude anthro male body before so please have mercy, they’re very difficult 😔
