So I saw this kind of thing everywhere on my dashboard, and I bumped into this one the other day (I mean the base, Rarity,Dash, Pinkie).
I'm not sure I get the point of the pony thing because it's supposed to mash up things that are similar no? Or it doesn't matter? Anyhow I had too many points to go for.
1: mash up and make the best out of it, so everybody can tell who were the 2 (or 3) ponies I mixed together 2: color balance, there's none, I tried to help on the colors, but at the end even if they looked fine you couldn't really tell what I was aiming for. Like when I went for the color between pink and light blue to get Rarity. It looked nicer and seemed more legit, but took the mixed feeling away. 3: stay canon. I didn't want to make 2 of them alicorns, but I was thinking 'what would a guy who doesn't know the show do with this'. well, probably mixing the two. bam. alicorn. 4: cutie marks - I don't think they turned out that good, but they kinda tell what's up in my opinion 5: hairstyles - I think this was the hardest part, just look at them, none of them has even SIMILAR mane styles. 6: personality - again, an outsider might not know this, but I tried to give back an expression for all of them, mixing the 2 character's attributes together and this is what I came up with.
these are the things I wanted to stick with while mixing them together:
Rarity's horn (again, making them alicorn, but that's what an outsider would do). Rarity's able to cast spells, use magic is not her strongest attribute, so I thought just making the mixes pegasi, except the pinkie/rarity one. And of course her swirly mane.
Dash's mane color, obviously her biggest giveaway, that's the character's strong point, design-wise, without colors she could be many of the background ponies.
Pinkie's puffy mane. again, I think that's what gives her away, mixing the manes was really fun.
I played with the siluettes, and it was amazing, you can tell who the mixes were. I spend hours with these, I made more than 20 designs for it, many color changes and mane styles, expressions etc.
Might do the other 3 later, maybe princesses who know?this is really fun.
Rarpie Dash is original character donut steel (not)
The Rarity and Rainbow Dash mix is my favorite of the bunch. Being an alicorn, she actually looks as regal as a princess does, and I feel that it's a really good combination there.
The Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash one is one that looks like it could actually be a part of the show if they had that kind of plot point to it.
The Pinkie Pie and Rarity one looks a little strange. Not sure what to think about it.
And the middle one, despite being an original character, isn't bad. I like it, but don't love it.
Overall idea? I think the idea behind it is awesome and would love to see more done.

At first I saw this and I was like "What in the world is this supposed to be?!" Then upon closer inspection, I see the thought put into this, and the subtle nods to each character in the final form, and I'm like "This is truly a masterpiece"!
