I like that you have the same visual identifiers in this design which helps make it clear that it's tied to the smeargle representation. I do something similar with my sona. In a certain sense it's sorta modern day heraldry. You wanna have a good symbolic representation regardless of the medium!

Pixel simplified down into a stick figure in order to show the minimum required visual identifiers of four horns plus snoot.

The 2025 pride drawing which shows a more proper realization of the design. The same visual identifiers are there: The snoot and two large conical horns on the head as well as two smaller conical horns on the cheeks. In the coloured version you can also see the blue markings around the neck and the tailtip (the wrists and ankles are covered in this image though)

The same sona depicted with a more buff bodytype. The colours and markings remain the same but the horns are more tusky and the face a little more angular. Still, you can recognize that it's depicting the same character despite the different bodyshape

A version of Pixel being depicted as a mew. The visual identifiers are a lot more subdued and blended into the design of mew, but you can still catch the idea of the four horns. In a coloured version this'd probably be a slightly greenish pink with the same marking patterns on the neck, limbs, and tailtip to make the similarity more clear.
