aug 23 2023 update: amp's ref has been redrawn & improved in several ways, mainly just better show style on my end. however i've now included a guide for her hair colors, because they honestly always confuse me and i think it's kind of necessary haha. the old version of this reference (you can see it here: sta.sh/016i66hr3oke) is honestly so bad!!! it was one of the first ones i had done and there were several challenges. amp has a pretty difficult hair shape, and technically like 7 colors in it to boot. she's also meant to be taller than average, and in trying to portray that, i think her body looks really strange in the old version. lastly, her eyes came out so strange in the old one too! i think it was my first time really working with the rarity eye shape. anyway, whew, she's in much better shape now :)

ampere… better known as "amp"!
she is… i think very smart, but i'm not totally sure what her talent will be. i believe she will be doing advanced studys & things though, maybe. she is antisocial and kind of intimidating. i kind of think of her as maybe having similar personality traits to rainbow dash, especially in terms of being bold & quick to push back.

design notes:
- she is taller & thinner than average (compared to mane 6)
- rarity style eye shape instead of round
- can have round or slit pupils
- sparkles throughout mane & tail

the design seems to have come from instagram, however the original creator likely changed usernames over time and i'm not sure where they are :(
if anyone, now or in the future, ever has information about the original designer, please let me know! i believe this was her first ever depiction, credited to the now-defunct "lollipop_artist" on instagram: f2.toyhou.se/file/f2-toyhou-se…
from there, i'm not sure of the whole journey, but she was largely characterized by a past owner who i bought her from! they gave her the cutiemark, which i've kept so far.

i used this base from SelenaEde: www.deviantart.com/selenaede/a… (clearly made quite a lot of changes but this is where it started haha)
downloads are enabled so that those who draw her can use this reference… please do not distribute the artwork elsewhere or generally use the artwork for anything other than a reference for drawing her specifically :) (Smile)
she is a g4 / mlpfim based character: g4 / mlpfim is owned by hasbro. i hold some ownership over the design and execution of this character, but her overarching inspiration and environment are hasbro's
