The next three lists will be my favorite pony artists but because of the sheer number of them I had to break them up. Originally, I was going to have two more pony artist lists, cute and amazing. However, there was so many for the cute list that I had to break it up. This list will focus on my favorite simple cute pony artists (it's how I originally broke these up-realized I forgot one that will have to be in the next list and one in this list was going to be in the next list so I changed the title). These are the MLP fanartists who draw very cute ponies with simple details (shading, background, lighting, etc.). Doesn’t mean their backgrounds or ponies can’t be stunning looking but most of the backgrounds are simple or the ponies have basic shading and detail. In reality this is just cute ponies part 1 but I decided to come up with some kind of separating category so if you are one of the artists featured and you think your art doesn’t fall in this category or the other just remember the category title is superficial.

We start this list with wolfjedisamuel.deviantart.com/ . While this artist has much more furry art and could easily go in my non-pony artist list, it is the pony art that got my undivided attention. Also, a lot of his pony art (and furry art) are parodies of movies, TV shows, etc. He also has a distinct style that still manages to capture the look of its source material.

Many years before the episode of the same name. Coincidence or time traveling DA artist?

She thought they said writing, not fighting.

For Pinkie, there is no such thing as surreal.

That white potion in Princess Twilight did nothing to improve the image of us as cloppers. A fitting punishment I say.

I liked the Mane-iac. Not enough fanart of her.

This is probably my favorite of his MLP stuff.

Gotta love both expressions on the sisters! BTW, download full size to see fine print (the one on Luna is particularly amuising).

Love and tolerate the holy hell out of you!

Flutterbat was a big hit. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Slayer film… eh, not so much.

Oh, a heads up is in order. A lot of his stuff is sexual driven so proceed with caution. However, if you have a mature filter on your account, you’ll be fine.

Moving on to another artist that has sexually driven material but who’s cute (and sexy) pony art can’t be denied: danmakuman.deviantart.com/ . Most of his stuff is relatively tasteful (as long as you don’t visit his TUMBLR account ) so if it bothers you, make sure you’re mature filter is on. His cute stuff is adorable and his sexy stuff is droolable all in an art style that is uniquely his own. His stuff is also not limited to just ponies.

A good example of the adorabilty of his work.

Stockings on a pony + belly button = undeniable cuteness.

His traditional art is just amazing as you can see here. Plus that is one cute (pony) and hot (EQG) Fluttershy!

!!!!!!Diabetes Warning!!!!!!

Evil, cute, and sexy!

I always said Luna was the sexiest ponies and this human version proves it.

CMJ (Cutie Mark Jailbaiters)

Twilight Warrior Princess

I love tacos and I ADORE Sonata!

That hairstyle was ok on pony Twilight but utterly HOT on EQG Twilight!

I like Scutealoo enough but I REALLY like her grown up!

The best EQG movie (arguably) makes for some great fanart!

Helloooooooooooooo NURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has so much good stuff but you’ll have to look at his gallery to get more.

No music have I loved more than heavy metal. No cartoon or show has given me more joy than MLP: FiM. This next artist crosses over these two which alone makes him eligible for this list: flutterthrash.deviantart.com/ . Like the other artists I mentioned, he has his share of sexy pony girls (moreso recently and like Danmakuman most is confined to his TUMBLR) but also plenty of adorable ponies all in a style uniquely his.

Twilight as Megadeth’s mascot Vic.

Pinkie Pie as Eddy on Iron Maiden-Killers

Scutes is one badass drummer!

Not so much with the guitar if Dash’s expression is any indication.

Not so farfetched Tavi being a metal head if you take into account bands like Therion, Rhapsody, Nightwish, Epica, etc.

Must be difficult loving metal and being a pony. I created a Ponyville metal band ( dallasblack.deviantart.com/gal… ) and I’m sure they have felt this frustration.

The awesomeness of this is apparent when you look at the source material: www.metal-archives.com/images/…

No Coco, you’re adorable! BTW, it’s a reference to a Diamond Head song famously covered by Metallica:

Another reference to a metal classic: www.metal-archives.com/images/…

An example of sexy work that is non-metal themed.

He has more than metal ponies so even if you have bad hearing and can’t appreciate good music (), check his stuff out anyways.

If you like Flufflepuff, you could very well love Curly Mane, the OC of va1ly.deviantart.com/ . Often seen in the comics of ES Stories and Zacatron, this blue pony crossed with a sheep doesn’t really speak but communicates with a series of “urs”. She’s a cute enough character but Va1ly has some other cute ponies. Not to mention some mind-blowingly awesome blue pen sketches.

<da:thumb id="451709693"/>

Curly Mane, the deathly adorable blue sheep pony!

<da:thumb id="455708271"/>

Wet manes are not enjoyable when you have wool instead of fur.

<da:thumb id="461777930"/>

Anyone familiar with Molestia should get this refrence.

<da:thumb id="464624210"/>

She is extremely obsessed with Think Pink’s tie.

Even more adorable animated!

<da:thumb id="469887260"/>

I quite like Curly Mane and ADORE Unikitty so a combination of the two is a winner in my book!

<da:thumb id="491053701"/>

She found her true love online (wouldn’t it be nice if that would happen more often?) and their OCs are frequently drawn together.

Kind of hypocritical if you take into account that she does NSFW stuff. Oh well! That is still a cute expression.

<da:thumb id="570814295"/>

<da:thumb id="583186819"/>

She now has a style of art apart from show style vectors. Absolutely adorable!

<da:thumb id="574186658"/>

See what I mean by awesome blue pen sketches?

She has some racy stuff like many others in this list so make sure your filter is on.

The next artist is: erudier.deviantart.com/ . This young lady doesn’t do much in the way of ponies anymore but the ones she has done are phenomenal and of course, adorable.

<da:thumb id="545815400"/>

Cuteness level is dangerously high!

<da:thumb id="549491333"/>

A gorgeous Rainbow Dash! So detailed it could go on the next list but as I said, this list (and that next one) is not quite black and white.

<da:thumb id="504851583"/>

Those expressions are too much!

<da:thumb id="516814530"/>

Don’t that just bring a tear to your eye?

<da:thumb id="498418374"/>

Incredible water color art! I told her once that if I could afford the shipping, I’d buy something like that.

<da:thumb id="494635374"/>

That is just too awesome!

<da:thumb id="495397750"/>

Oh my sides!

<da:thumb id="480011488"/>

Incredibly fluttorable pencil drawing!

<da:thumb id="416650039"/>

Incredibly lovely Rainbow Dash!

<da:thumb id="415221388"/>

Never tell Rarity you want a makeover. NEVER!!!!!!!

<da:thumb id="443985238"/>

The idea of a Maud that only says “rock” cracks me up!

Next is another artist that has much more than ponies, though ponies are what made me a fan: mickeymonster.deviantart.com/ . The pony stuff that got me was a comic series where Discord would squeeze different ponies causing them to squeak. However, most of his pony work are standalone pieces. He imitates a show style of ponies but it’s obvious they are done by his hand as there is a slight difference (I can’t explain it, I just see it).

Those are the squeeze ones. Gilda and Bib Mac are the funniest. I love the first part with Big Mac: so much nope!

Something went wrong.

Mature Content

Different Views of Squeezin' It by Mickeymonster

Don’t take that series the wrong way.

One of my earliest comic findings. It’s hilarious!

I guess I should have put him in the comic artist list but if you look through his gallery, there are quite a number of standalone pieces. Cute is the name of the game either way though.

Next on the list we have: secret-pony.deviantart.com/ . He could go in the next list because there are some pretty awesome backgrounds. However, the main focus is ponies that aren’t overly detailed but are in a unique style and adorable as can be.

Got to be one of the most adorable Scutealoos!

Ditto Derpy!

I really like this one, also a neat headcanon of Derpy’s true talent!

Even Dash looks adorable in his style especially here with her adopted little sister!

Anything with Woona is bound to adore! Also a nice background on this one!

The element of adorability?

Their hearts are as strong as horses!

An incredibly beautiful piece on an incredibly beautiful pony!

That face:

A lovely picture of my Queen!

secret-pony.deviantart.com/art…

Some more examples of nicely done backgrounds!

Now I move on to this guy: shepherd0821.deviantart.com/ . I know I put him in the comic list but his standalone work just begs to be put in this list. Again there are some pretty decent backgrounds but most of them are simple ones:

These are examples of his type series and they were a huge part of my journey into the fandom. From left to right: Human-Full Anthro-Partial Anthro-Partial Feral-Full Feral.

A very lovely Sparity piece!

The Power Glove failed in the human world so maybe the pony world can do something with it.

Mane 6 Antros.

BTW, a lot of his stuff can be pretty racy so make sure your mature filter is working.

I mentioned this next artist in the last list as the girlfriend of Zacatron: tsand106.deviantart.com/ . She has plenty that goes in the category of simple cute in both vector and personal style. She’s also a very nice person who appreciates her fans.

Those pigtails on Sweetie Belle are at critical levels of adorability!

Alice fanart that is too adorable for words!

Coma inducing adorableness showing the love between her and her boyfriend’s OCs (Blank Novel and Captain White). If two people madly in love makes you sick, STAY AWAY! Happy two people found each other but they do tend to lay it on thick.

What did I say about Woona earlier?

A lovely dress on her lovely OC!

When you think about Pitch, adorable does not enter your mind. Terrifying, angry, violent, aggressive, dangerous sure, but NOT adorable.

I think I’m going to cry.

Her Valentine Mane 6 are to die for!

If you have money to burn and want a plushie, she is one to go with because her sewing skills are mind blowing!

We now move along to: rayhiros.deviantart.com/ . I almost put this artist in the next list because some of his backgrounds are incredible but still not overly detailed. He doesn’t have a whole lot of art but what he does have are worth checking out.

Someone else’s OC done very beautifully in his style.

A re-draw of one of his first characters and an incredibly lovely piece!

One of my favorite fanart pieces, sexy without total sluttiness.

Such an adorable smile and such a lovely background!

You can’t have Flutters of Sweetie without adorableness!

Such adorable little blobs!

Life’s a beach! Rainbow Dash can be one too .

One of the loveliest Twilight pieces I have seen in the fandom!

Now we move on to an artist whose work certainly meets the criteria for the title of the list: wildberry-poptart.deviantart.c… . Wildberry has developed a unique style (developed later though his early stuff is not cookie cutter) of cute ponies and a few psychedelic looking ones.

Before his current style. Nothing cuter than characters drinking from a straw!

Closer to his current style and quite adorable!

Gotta love a good bad pun!

Love the way he draws Luna!

A little Luna goes a long way!

This is what I mean about psychedelic looking.

She looks cute as a doctor but I wouldn’t want to be her patient:

: The test results say you are pregnant.

: Nope!

More Luna goodness!

Utterly Fluttorable!

Twilight is taking that game a liiiitle too seriously.

Not sure who he draws more: Luna or Spitfire. Either way he does a good job. So damn adorable!

Damn it Spike! Conform!!!

Did I mention I love the way he draws Luna?

Now onto: thegreatrouge.deviantart.com/ . While an honorable mention in the last list, she makes it to this one due to the sheer adorability of her work. Ponies are just a fraction of what she does, but she does them adorably (as with the other stuff she does). She does quite a bit of crossover stuff.

Oh, and ponies with anime.

A lovely anthro version of one of my favorite background characters!

Adorable Spikey Wikey!

A unique take on my second favorite scene from that episode! Favorite being the Pinkie Pie rap.

Her most recent one as of this typing and a deadly adorable take on one of the first Season 6 spoilers!

Some examples of crossing MLP and Mega Man.

Deadly adorable!

Those Twilight expressions!

Not to mention those expressions!

She said she failed at the Andy Price style but I say nay nay!

Talk about saying the wrong thing in front of your friend.

Apart from ponies she does a lot of Mega Man, Pokemon, Sonic (in case you can’t tell by her avatar), and recently a butt load of Undertale. Not an Undertale fan but her art is too adorable to care.

This next artist is another nice girl with a great talent for adorable ponies: pon3splash.deviantart.com/ . As wonderful as the pony stuff is, she also has a lot of furry art. She’s also one of the busiest artist as can be seen by the sheer number of her deviations.

A lovely Luna piece!

What is it about ponies in socks?! She has the whole Mane 6 like that.

Just give her your candy, she’s too damn adorable! Resistance is futile!!!

These are what made me a fan. They’re all so adorable I can’t pick a favorite.

Almost bought a shirt of that from Red Bubble but passed it over. Always meant to go back and get it.

An adorable OC of some other artist done in her unique style!

She does a lot of commissions in her style, a lot like these.

Such a lovely piece!

Lovely Coco!

A commission I had her do for me when she had a sale. Well worth it!

I’ve saved the most adorable in this category for last. The last 3 artists all make my top 5 cutest pony styles. WARNING: Deadly levels of adorableness! If you are diabetic, PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!!!!!!

First we have one of the busiest artists I watch (almost a deviation a day): alasou.deviantart.com/ . His style is simple, unique, and deathly adorable. I’ve made more than my share of French jokes, but if France can give us a master of cute like this, it can’t be all bad .

<da:thumb id="355696180"/>

He does a lot of Derpy and does her well!

<da:thumb id="358759830"/>

So fluttorable I could die!!!!! He does quite a lot of her as well.

<da:thumb id="360646336"/>

I’m sorry I thought you were grape flavor.

As if the adorability wasn’t dangerous enough, he made them bunnies!

<da:thumb id="369147480"/>

Both together!

<da:thumb id="385970490"/>

"I'm a wizard!"
And a deadly adorable one at that!

<da:thumb id="388220704"/>

Cozy and cute!

<da:thumb id="390448589"/>

I dare any Trixie haters to hate on this!

<da:thumb id="396403486"/>

Yummy!

<da:thumb id="400744796"/>

I love wrestling, I love ponies, and I love the CMC!

<da:thumb id="412984497"/>

Yes she is!

<da:thumb id="424606652"/>

No Derpy, ain’t happening!

<da:thumb id="430695853"/>

Damn it! Now I want a Luna dog! And yes, I will give belly rubs.

<da:thumb id="436397991"/>

Very OOC but so damn adorable!

<da:thumb id="440018509"/>

A major scuty Scutaloo!

<da:thumb id="449465659"/>

Such a cute slob!

<da:thumb id="452099983"/>

One of my all time favorite Celestia pics!

<da:thumb id="459495979"/>

I’m a fan too Flutters!

<da:thumb id="505174991"/>

I LOVE his AJs!

<da:thumb id="501094230"/>

So cute, so funny! I like how Dash doesn’t realize why they’re staring at her. That’s one of the most adorable Scutealoo pics! Also Sweetie Belle’s difficulty is chuckle enducing!

<da:thumb id="517161693"/>

And her reputation was ruined forever!

<da:thumb id="546145010"/>

Vision… blurry. Chest… tightening… Having a… heart attack ak ak ak ak!!!!!!

<da:thumb id="556368108"/>

<da:thumb id="477246503"/>

<da:thumb id="576725328"/>

So damn adorkable I could just die!

<da:thumb id="577602092"/>

She can sleep with me if it makes her feel better… not like THAT you sickos!

I know that’s a lot but as I said, he’s a very busy artist and has so many. Check his gallery out NOW!!!!

The next master of adorableness is symbianl.deviantart.com/ . Symbian has more OC stuff than canon ponies but once you see how adorable they are you won’t care. Impossibly large eyes and curvy mouths make this style irresistible!

I hate to see Flutters cry but she’s never more adorable when she does!

Dash is one of my least favorites, but if she looked more like this, it’d change.

Faces of death… by cuteness overload!

Whether someone else’s OCs or Symbian originals, the adorableness is deadly!

This is such a cute funny comic from a series of comics. Cherry Blossom as a filly climbing into a box might just be the most adorable thing I think I’ve ever seen!

So much adorability I just couldn’t narrow it down enough. Also check out Symbian’s series of pony bots:

symbianl.deviantart.com/galler…

Sometimes the line between adorable and creepy is very thin. As is the case of the last artist on this list: berrypawnch.deviantart.com/ . AKA Engrishman these can either the cutest things in the fandom or the creepiest. Of all the artist with a unique style, this is one of the most unique ones. He’s also a cool guy who appreciates his fans. You might find that the backgrounds aren’t as simple as the rest here. They aren’t super detailed so I will keep him on this list but they are quite elaborate.
