I have decided to make the ultimate, show-accurate pony puppet in Toon Boom Harmony. It will be a full 360 rotating rig, whose drawings are traced over the leaked Flash show puppets for maximum accuracy. This effort will likely take months of work, but I know I have the resolve to see it through, and I have spent months on pony projects before. Once it is complete, I intend to share it for anyone to use.

I will start with the standard mare body type. Specifically, I am starting with Rainbow Dash because she has the same eyelashes and eye shape as many background mares, so her head works well as a generic reference. I may eventually create puppets for standard fillies and stallions too, but that is a long way off. As long as I do not run into any technical issues, I will set up the puppet in such a way that it is easy to mix and match hair styles, eye styles, colors, accessories, and cutie marks so you can design your own mare, or simply select a specific character from the show with a master controller to automatically configure the puppet as that character.

I will post updates whenever I reach a good milestone. Pictured here is a rendering from an older puppet of mine.
