#moondancer
I’m surprised her name is not Midnight Beamer or something like that.
And also some bad news, I probably won’t be able to update this blog on a daily basis anymore. Not sure if I should just stick to my main art blog or continue posting doodles here, just not every day

At least it got a warrior’s death.

Office worker Moondancer! I figure she’s a software developer at Celestia’s company, but Celestia always goes to her to fix mundane IT issues. Celestia hasn’t really kept up with technology over her thousand years of running the company.
It’s My Little Monday!
With…G3 Pony Moondancer!
Yes, this one does share the same name with the G1 pony, however they look nothing alike. Moondancer was a play pack pony, where she came with lots of items for a slumber party. This made her more costly than regular ponies, and she was only released (probably) twice. The accessories included things like bunny slippers, radio that played music, blanket, nokia-looking cellphone, and food/drink among others.
She’s a frosty-cool color of blue (which G3 quite enjoyed, a few have a similar color) with mild yellow hair and a simple smiling moon/’1950s style’ stars & blue ‘sky’ shape. The stylization of the moon and the blob shape for the sky/stars gives the symbol quite a retro feel. (Oddly several G3s crib at retro ‘space age’ design points–it’s not understood how or why they’d choose the era to design from)
The frosty blue plastic is especially lovely because of that signature G3 shimmer dust that many of them have. It lends an icy, fantasy tone and helps her match with her hair color. The eye color is an interesting choice: pink and aqua, which are nowhere else in her design. She’s in ‘the diva pose’, making her seem like an elegant character. Notice the hoof heart is a middling yellow: they were not afraid to spend on multiple inks that don’t appear more than once.
She was an early favorite on the line!
Fans were stirred up over her name (wishing for the original G1 to return), but she won people over with her fun accessories and lovely color scheme. She also appeared in the G3 cartoons at least twice. I love blue ponies, and this one is no exception: she’s great! A dreamy character with a peaceful look. Pick her up if you can! (You don’t want her to end up expensive later–which she likely will because not everyone wanted to splurge on the accessory-pack pony)
