Ewugh, why does this pony look like it's covered in puss filled blisters?? D:
At first I was like "yay mushrooms" but then I got a closer look. It looks like it's infected with the bubonic plague or something.

Now I'm wondering if the ponies are based on illnesses and diseases and other bad stuff that can happen to us living organisms. I really want to know the ideas behind this litter, because this outcome severely grosses me out right now >.<


-snip-

oh nooooooo the way i ran to my PC to clarify what they're based off, it was very vague, basically just using the colours and vague patterns of some unique fruits

Cherimoya


black sapote


Cloud Berries


I didn't make that association while making it ^^; entirely my bad

To finish them off;

Jujube


pawpaw


Rambutan

Thank you so much for finishing the list! I always look forward to your outcomes every month and seeing what you based then off of. You do such a fantastic job on them <3

i kinda assumed it wouldn't be sanrio or ac because those are copyrighted but i do wonder if these dogs are based off anything else now or if it's just cute pastels

This was my thought too- I think even directly basing the dogs off Sanrio in a vague way would be pushing things a bit too far if the site wants to avoid copyright problems.

I think they're most likely inspired by the cute pastel animal aesthetic sanrio has but in a unique and distinct way. Tbh I'm absolutely in love with the litter, the froggy and kitty are my favs!

there’s been sonic the hedgehog and studio ghibli inspired horses/ponies and Spyro inspired deer in the past, so I think it is possible

there's also the malkavian spider, which has a symbol from a ttrpg! although tbf it was made over a decade ago, so the like... guidelines for artists could have very well changed. and then vampire the masquerade 5e came out in that time, too, with an updated symbol......

Right on the money with following the cute pastel animal aesthetic Sanrio has :)

{ oops all white! assuming this is the last outcome, this is a lovely finale for the litter. the white is a nice contrast with the others and I love the color shift on the tail ♡

[Isthill]

Very pretty indeed, looking forward to what else this litter has in store

There's also been Steven Universe ponies (Sept 2016). I must know which/where the Sonic, Studio Ghibli, and Spyro pets are!! What month/year? And is there a list of all the pets inspired by media?

{ these are the Sonic ponies and I believe these are the horses, but I didn't know about the deer ??? I gotta scavenge my collection now to find them cause I had no idea! ♡

Was typing my own response at the same time, so I'll leave it as is to include the additional info!
Sonic the Hedgehog - June 2014
Studio Ghibli - June 2015
Spyro - April 2018

The thread hasn't been posted in for a while, but folks were at one point compiling pets that were confirmed to be (or seemed to be) inspired by other characters here. ^^

There's also another batch of Ghibli ponies!
November 2014 - with the movies they're based on
