Princess Celestia

Principal Celestia

Human Princess Celestia ( distinct from Principal Celestia )

) Pony Principal Celestia

So I was watching a film calledrecently and thought it would be fun to draw one of the supporting characters as a pony....Joking aside, this an attempt to translate the character of Principal Celestia back into pony form. I've seen a few people note that the principal is in some ways distinct from the princess she derives from, which makes me wonder how different the human characters would be from their pony counterparts if they were to follow Twilight back through. The most obvious differences are her mane and lack of wings, as I decided to make her just a mortal pony rather than an alicorn. There are other small differences, but it's hard to say exactly what they are I was trying to draw her from scratch as much as possible even though she is basically a modified Celestia.Also, concerning how far this could go in the recursion, I think you can't go as far as most people would like to think. Remember that we only have two worlds and one portal to deal with. Each side has its own native race, where there is an approximate correspondence between individuals on either side. That creates two versions of each character to begin with.Next, the portal allows for the creation on one side of a transformed version of a character from the other. This transformation, applied both ways, takes the count up from two to four. And that's it. Further trips just cancel each other out.So for Celestia we would have the following characters: Cutie mark by
