That gif is so true.

I wasn't a fan of EQG and still am not, but I am happy it happened looking back on it.  I think the designs are still pretty awkward with very long legs.

@Silverwing not a bad problem to have if you’re a leg guy. XD

[Silverwing]

Yeah, but the legs literally had no shape to them man.  They are like sticks.

There were almost no fanart without trying to correct this . Even if everything was left as it was, legs were always made more shapely.
This is what fanart is for .

The 2010s was a weird era of making cartoons "for girls" with characters with very long legs.

Either way, the Equestria Girls did supply us with a good amount of sneeze art from our wonderful artists on this site

^ Thats true.  And I am sure there will be more.  I was always fond of the character designs that looked less like EQG characters.  I think Silverwing does a fabulous job.  I think Rainy did some too. There is one of Vinyl Scratch that always sticks in my head.

They seemed to be inspired by the cartoon designs from the 1920s and 30's...





Perhaps not coincidentally, Tara Strong voiced a Betty Boop-esque character in Drawn Together about that time....

I don't know.  I doubt Equestria Girls were inspired by 20s and 30s characters.  I think they were designed based on what would make the easiest toy design for changing fashion choices.

It was somehow confirmed by the ugly giant boots worn by almost every character from the first movie. Luckily, the first corrections were made pretty quickly, and the first character who ditched the boots even got her personal intro video .

That brofist at 1:08 reminds me another video . I think the EqG creators have definitely watched it, at least once.

[Rainberry]

The boots were SO ugly.  The bodies were so stiff too.  Imagine if they could actually been designs more appealing and not done in such cheap Canadian flash style that was so popular then.  The music is so of the time, lol.

I sort of miss those goofy meme faces of back then. It was so silly.

[Blurr]

Well at lease with time they developed new rigs and outfits for them that DIDNT involve those dumbass boots.

Never was a fan of EQG, but I did love the content our creators made here.  I liked that more then the show itself which I barely ever watched.

I 100% understand that.   Our community was awesome in the content they did make.

[Blurr]

And still making in some cases.

[TheBeesSneeze]

There is still great EQG content being made for sure.  Silverwing made some recently.
