Since I got a vector done of Button Mash all grown up, I figured I’d put him next to the Sweetie Belle I did a year ago. That Sweetie Belle vector is not very spot on to the grown up version we got on the show cuz I made it well in advance from when that episode aired. Oddly enough, my version is close enough so keeping it isn’t going to really hurt anything. Besides, the real grown up Sweetie Belle was in the Last Problem which, as most agree, seems to be about 20 years in the future and my version is about 10 years in the future so maybe she looks a bit different before that. This would be her about 18-20 years old right now and Button is probably about the same age.
 
Well anyway, these are concept designs I have made for something called “Flurry Heart’s Story”, a series of fanart and hopefully also fanfics that i plan to make that center around Flurry Heart 10 years later, growing up and learning the magic of friendship from Twilight and the others. Sweetie Belle is a talented singer and actress in Ponyville and she and the rest of the CMC are looking to become teachers at the School of Friendship (something I decided on a year in advance so I predicted the CMCs’ future!). Button is a pro-gamer as his cutie mark gives it away and he and Sweetie Belle spend time bonding over games. She’s better than him though cuz she just uses magic. :3
 
Now I still ship these two, but I’m not too sure I want to ship them in FHS because I’m not planning on having everyone shipped, though it is definitely out there for consideration. :3
