You've got too many accessories; there is no need for an earring or hat. Your body is pure white, which is always bad; off-white stands out too much, too. There's a cursor stuck to her right front leg and a controller on her butt; these are bad ideas for cutie marks or tattoos. And of course, you used the Hasbro pony creator, which I've yet to hear a critic praise for any reason. Pretty much what Page said.

>>5066167 Can't tell what the cutie mark is, though it's good that it matches the eye; would probably be better if they both matched the mane, though, or at least weren't a different primary color completely. Like Page said, the mane and tail don't match at all; the tail needs braided or the mane undone. Glasses are too much.

His name is Schnozzola. Schnoz for short. Basically, while other colts his age got their snouts squared out as they grew, his just seemed to swell up. Fortunately, this had the side effect of giving him a superior sense of smell.

>>5066736 The eye and cutie mark look a bit dull now. Might want to increase brightness and saturation. And like I said, you're trying to use three different primary colors (red, yellow, and... blue or green; it doesn't really matter), so you should try to get rid of one of the three, and the eye/cutie mark color seems easiest to change. The lighter color in your hair needs to be more saturated, and the darker one... I'm not sure how to fix it offhand, but it needs work, too. >>5066802 Bulbous nose here is a mare's. Coat is far too dark; hair is a bit too saturated and maybe not bright enough. My money's saying Page will just post "PASTELS". Also, you forgot a cutie mark. >>5066819 Doesn't seem quite hardy enough to warrant differently colored hooves. CM needs redone in the style (though I'm betting you just pulled it off google image search in any case). not sure if the mane and tail match or not. All your colors are a bit on the bold and vibrant side of things, but since we're talking about a stallion, I might want to pull up the list of background ponies before I say what needs to be done about that. Orange and blue are always a risky combination in any case (complementary colors as they are), but I think it's working, here, for the most part.

>>5066885 This one is actually pretty good. If I had to make changes, I'd say change the eye color. The eyelashes are a bit too much. Could you post a full image? Can you not decide what kind of pony she is/what her cutie mark is?

>>5067014 >This one is actually pretty good And that's what brought me out of lurk mode. >>5066819 The dark blue makes him stand out which is not what you want on an OC background pony, his coat is an ugly shade of orange, his eyes are ok, his cutie mark looks like 2 penguins hugging. The problems here are the dark blue mane and the tone of the coat. Make the mane/tail a lighter blue, use pastels as a reference. (see pic). Dark colours are NOT what you want on an OC. They draw unwanted attention to the pony.

>>5067457 Oh god, that's not what I meant by "get rid of one of the colors" at all! >>5066819 Yeah, coat's bolder than Snails', and Snails is a secondary character. Want to dull your coat a little, at least. Though there are more vibrant and standoutish background stallions, but they're bad examples. Not as bad as Blossomforth, but still bad. Hair reminds me too much of Shining Armor's, but... I'm trying to work with the colors, but Gimp's being a pain in the ass. Would you mind tossing the pony code from the pony creator over this way?

>>5068152 Yeah, that works. Red accents on the fish even help the CM stand out a little, without making things too gaudy. Probably should change the tail like Page said, though, and a solid mane wouldn't be a bad idea. Not would brighter (read; lighter) colors in the mane, truth be told. >>5068441 Iris is frighteningly big. Yellow backdrop is distracting (do SOMETHING about it; make it transparent or at least change the color) and make the mane and tail less dull.

I have a couple of different color settings across a couple of monitors, so sometimes it's hard to eyeball color and saturation correctly. Wasn't really shooting to make him blend into a crowd, but if that was what you were all looking for then yes, colors don't really do it. I did actually pull the base image for the CM off of google pic related , then traced it in illustrator, expanded it, added color, tweaked the proportions, and added it onto the flank (not in the creator, it never gets it right). And yeah, >edgy hair , I know. The mane selection for stallions in the creator leaves much to be desired.

Don't use black for outlines or shadows; use darker tones of the colors you're working with.

It's an anatomical necessity on all organisms with eyes like ours and horses'. Anywhere else, black is usually a huge no-no. The pupil's about the one exception. Beyond that, the mane and tail don't match, the dark teal's too dark, you forgot to add a cutie mark, and the ear doesn't match the expression her mouth's showing. >>5071976 I tried to find a matching mane.

>>5084720 >Luna Which is exactly why we create OCs to be background ponies. Why is Pinkie monochrome? Why is Celestia a blindingly white alicorn with godlike powers and a cosmic mane? Why is Luna every edgy teenage girl's wet dream? Because they're main characters and they're allowed to be like that. They are the exceptions to the rules. The Everfree forest is the same. It's designed to be the contrast to equestria, which makes it seem so much more foreboding and dismal. It has to be that way. If people started creating Alicorns and jet black OCs everywhere, the main characters wouldn't seem as "main" anymore. The idea is to blend in. Not outshine the main cast. Otherwise you're no better than the people that recolour Sonic the Hedgehog lime green and call him "Jet the Radicalhog"

>>5084701 If you'd like a point-by-point, you can have it. Hooves. One of our more common problems is hooves. Maybe three ponies in the show have pronounced hooves: Big Macintosh, Snowflake, and Shining Armor. One earth pony, one pegasus, and one unicorn. All stallions. All large and well muscled. From this, we can deduce that "earth pony hooves" as they're often called should only go on bulky male ponies. Most ponies are not bulky male earth ponies, ergo, they should not have pronounced hooves. >>5084721 Far too neutral and monotone: the hair is too dark, the eye is too dark, the coat is too light and colorless, and like I was just saying, he don't fit those hooves. The mane also doesn't match the tail: the mane is like a lion's, dirty, spiky, and unkempt. The tail is bushy and generally well maintained. This is not how someone would treat their hair. Also, lose the vest; ponies don't normally wear clothes.

Lighning Fire is a pegasus that was born in the sun, which explains why fire, instead of hurting him, it heals him. One day, the sun throwed him all the way down to crash to the evertree forest, which made him unconcious. When he woke up, he was wondering where he was, but he didn´t care and started wondering around. Some years have passed, and he already had made a home near a river and he learned how to fly. He is really athletic, and he LOVES to fly and make up tricks, but then one day he discovered 2 things about him: He can do magic without a horn. Its like telepatic. And he has fire powers, such as absorbing fire, or throwing it, and he, most of the time, uses his powers to do tricks. The way that he got his cutie mark was that he was trying out his new fire powers, but then got an idea. He goed up, up, UP into the sky, then up into SPACE ,(he can breathe in space for a limited time, and when he was on the sun he kept healing himself)but he didn´t notice. Then when he stoped, he realised how high he was, and he was already running out of air, and he was too far from the sun to go there, so he didn´t have any other choice but to crash-land on earth. He was going down at super high speed, but then he felt weird, he felt lighter, then a really loud BOOM was heard, and he disapeared, but the he realized he was already on the ground, so that means he goed so fast that he got from so high up in space all the way to earth in less than 0.1 seconds! He coudn´t believe it but then he realised that the pressure was just about to land on him, so he jumped out of there, then a explotion was heard, and half of the evertree forest was burning, but he absorbed all the fire right away. Then when he got back to the ground, he realized he got his cutie mark! He was so happy, he started flying all around the evertree forest, when he saw a village just ahead, and he goed there. There's no way someone actually was serious about this.... r-right guys?

He is also the God of Blacksmiths of Equestria and is now considered only a legend due to never being seen in over 10,000 years. Even his own sisters rarely give him much thought.

>>5085102 He was born in captivity in the Everfree forest, not allowed to see the outside world by his parents. While in the forest, he begins to harness his powers on the elements: air, water, earth, and eventually, fire. He finally got his cutie mark in a young age while he was looking for twigs for his slavers. He decides to try to grab it with his horn, and to his relief, he does. Oddly, he accidentally begins to burn it with his horn, creating fire. And then used his horn to process water and air to finally make the greatest thing he has done, a small, swollen ball of pure energy. He got his cutie mark shortly after. After he becomes aware of where he is mentally, he threatens the 'slavers' to let him go. They reluctantly declined. Sadly, his rage overcame him and he killed the slavers as well as his friends and the other captives. Saddened to his fate, he leaves, hoping that no one will notice and everything will be alright. But No. One of the slavers was actually alive from this monstrosity. He gallops to Elemental before he gets out and tries to kill him and run off. He does make him unconscious, now wishing he can die and be with his family. Later on, Princess Luna finds a nearly dead pony while raising up the room. She was shocked, see it was an alicorn that she never knew about. She asks her guards to take him to Canterlot to try to revive him and eventually to ask him questions of his origin. He tells them all, and now he lives silently in the Canterlot Tower, taking control of The Main Elements and to create and invent new things for the sake of Equestria/himself. His cutie mark represents the four elements, being shows blue for water and red for fire. Now he stays there quiet in the Tower. He waits for someone to actually see him. A friend, you can say. And finally, someone to love. >And finally, someone to love The worst one so far

I didn't say "the wing is entirely appropriate for a normal pony, the eye is average and well-fitting, the snout a fine choice, the ear an acceptable shape and your body well-proportioned" because this is 4chan; I'm not here to shower you with compliments. >All of your critiquing is purely subjective.

I'm only implying he pays more attention to matching manes and tails than I do, usually Let me tell you why I use a name here: it's so you'll know where the critique's coming from. For example, I'm more likely to get on your case about using complimentary colors (especially if it's a triad of 'em) than Page is; Page tends to push harder for pastels than I do. Based on this, in theory, you might be able to make a logical choice of which critiques to ignore and which to change your design based upon. >[Your optional suggestion to saturate the mane is just m]ore OCD shit. And that's why I said "you might or might not want to". It's not particularly important, and I realize this. I unfortunately don't have time to try and make a "perfect OC". Even if I did, part of the reason I'm a critic more than artist or writer (though I dabble in visual and written arts) is that I'm a perfectionist. I'll always find something not to like. Sometimes I just stay quiet.

>>5085203 You're only one step above the infamously bad black-and-red OC here. Red is always a hard color to work with, because when you make it pastel, it turns out pink. As such, I'd recommend a totally new color scheme. Assuming you decide against that, at least choose a new color to replace the brown in your tail and mane (which don't match; just compare the two. The designs don't fit together well.) And mind that you choose an eye color that works well with your mane and cutie mark, but contrasts with your coat. (Your eye and mane currently have no synergy.) Oh, and... wait, he? That's a mare's snout. So yeah, there's that, and lose the hooves.

>>5085711 >implying there's anything wrong with blossomforth. She fits the pallete and she's themed to stand out vibrantly as her name implies. Really there's nothing wrong with her aesthetically, unless your view on color schemes goes by some weird rules that don't apply to anything but ponies. Speaking of which, let's bring up Thunderlane. Now tell me, what color is he? If a pony looked that color in bright, clear sunlight, then what shade would he be in less reflective shadows? He's what a donutsteel black or dark grey pony would look like in daylight. The problem with most of the insane rules people in these threads fallow is that they only apply to ponies meant to blend in to the bright backgrounds like background ponies, rather than conforming in tone to the setting. An example would be spinach's own 'bad oc' he uses. he has coincidentally chosen the same tones as the title character from Fallout Equestria: Murky Number Seven. But given the grim and gritty, and dare I say 'murky' backdrop, the colors work fantastically.

>>5086123 Start by deleting it unless your dead set on trying to salvage this guy, I'd just restart. However if you do want to keep him, then for starters, lower the saturation on the coat to about 25ish for a more pastel blue. And get rid of the yellow highlight, make it the mane one colour for now. And use the damn pony creator for this.

>>5086123 Pretending this isn't a joke for the challenge of it. For 50 points and all the marbles... Alright. Rule of thumb, for real, is that the color scheme, not individual colors, contrast the coat. If you want to keep the coat that shade then make the blue color on the mane something lighter, but still something that contrasts the yellow enough. Make the coat slightly darker but also toned down a little, imagine she's standing in the sunlight and the hairs are reflecting, even black will look grey. Don't dull the blue in the hair but lighten it up so it can be called light blue but without being close to the yellow. Next, eye color. Something with red maybe? An orange would actually be fantastic. Carrot top's hair orange.

>>5086230 I think the band and eye would work nicer contrasting the monchromatic scheme of the rest. Possibly the right shade of orange or light - near pink but not purpley magenta - red. But either way it needs to work with the cutie mark you have planned or the cutie mark should be based around it as far as colors go. If oyu go green then the band is the perfect green for it, but the eyes could maybe be a very slight shade darker than it. Maybe make the eyes the color of the headband's outline, whatever that would be.

They're only bad if you're not making a character at all and just want crowd filler that blends in. If it's anything but that then freckles are ok. Lots of ponies in the show have them, even one of the mane six. And what's wrong with a joystick? Pony's special talent is related to video games, that's fine. Doesn't a little colt in the show even have that? It even works with the freckles.

>>5088556 We don't hate white manes. Just pure, complete white. It's like looking into a canvas, for god's sake. You can do a lot more with an off-base white than pure white, and it just seems like the creator puts extremely little effort into it when they make something the same color as the background with a line separating them. (in the case of a white background, mind you) Zoom in on that picture you posted. See how the mane isn't a complete white, but it has hints of shadows in it? That's an off-base white. THAT WORKS. Pure white is a glaring color that has the same blinding effect of neon, and shouldn't be used.

>>5088704 As someone who paints I found the metaphor to be completely ridiculous. This isn't the same. This isn't an empty thing someone is too lazy to fill, it's just one more color option here. I really don't get this part of your argument at all. They put little effort into it? This isn't a canvas for one thing. They can click to change it from pure white to prussian blue, and if you were actually painting then negative space would be painted in with white paint because the canvas you use is never that white. And negative space is a good thing. Just toss the painting metaphors here and laziness argument out, it's nonsense. Stick with your shadow argument, that's actually worth talking about. On that, Well why didn't you fucking say so when the guy was here? All anyone said to him was "white = bad", no one offered any examples of why it's an eye-sore, why even Rarity isn't pure white, etc. All He saw were entirely negative comments including ridicule for even considering white as a good idea. Stop being so damn dedicated to negativity if you're going to even pretend to critique anything. The constructive element in constructive criticism is when you explain the problem and offer possible solutions. Like how if you start off asking someone if they're trolling or not how can they be expected to care what the rest of your post says? >>5088761 white is used quite a bit just not as far as manes go, or at least not so far. And if you've been watching this thread and can pick out my comments you'd know I don't give a shit about them standing out, I see that as a positive thing. Pure white is the only problem here, so maybe be more clear when telling people not to use white, because that's sort of an important distinction.

>>5089175 First point, He didn't ignore previous comments from others, just the ones that were overly critical. Then people he ignored complained that he ignored everything everyone said. He actually took some of my advice. And for the time he was here no one told him why the white was bad, just that it was and to change it. Second, People here regularly ask questions like "are you serious?" "is this real?" example: >>5088188 Maybe that anon telling him that even Rarity isn't pure white would have been worth something. third, I was talking there to the thread in general. People here are critical in a completely wrong way, more towards tearing things down then offering actual critiques or suggestions for improvement. Then when people react hastily towards such comments it becomes the "oh well if you can't take criticism don't post" People can be brutally honest when critiquing, but it's just as retarded for them to assume they're always right and not just offering a secondary opinion, and also that no one takes advice from a dick so if they want people to give a shit for their suggestions they need to have the right tone.

>>5089252 don't worry about pastels. Ignore the idiots who don't know their colors and just repeat what Spinach says. What's important is being aware of the setting. If, as they were assuming, you're making a character that is standing in full daylight in ponyville, then yes pastels work better for most of the shades. Think of how the light in such a setting would look on a dark colored pony, it would reflect off their fur enough that if you took the average tone it would be something much lighter, but not necessarily a pastel. Use your choice colors, but then consider how those would look in proper light and give us something resembling that. I suggest lightening the secondary mane color a little so the difference there is more obvious. Maybe make it full white (not pure white, off-white, always off-white). But make the eyes contrast. If you want a such a solid wall of blue for everything else then you need something completely different in the eyes, and then repeat that color in the cute mark. Try some purples or magenta, maybe even yellow or orange.

>>5089252 The entire pone is based around one color. Try making at least some variation in color, it's not difficult. Looking at the mane/ tail, they *relatively* match, although the pattern is different. In the mane the darker of the two blues is on the top and bottom, while on the tail it's on the inside. Try making them consistent. A CM generally suggests what they would do for a talent, and the music CM suggests some kind of DJ'ing, I'm assuming close to Vinyl. I could complain about the mane/ tail lengths being different, but I'm not entirely sure. >>5089337 >The hat is a joke >faggot 8 faggotry never dies Nice. A name, huh?

Also curious as to why you'd make a potter a pegasus. Unicorns and earth ponies are usually the artisans, and clay usually isn't too common up in the air.

>>5090054 that's actualy just perfect. For a monchromatic pony it's pretty well balanced in tone now. The best difference is the type of blue used for his coat compared to that in his mane. One leans the smallest bit in one direction on the wheel compared to the other. That paired with the difference in saturation and brightness give it the perfect balance. I like it.

>>5090054 Well, it's certainly less monochromatic now. That said, the pattern in the mane/ tail works, but is hard to pull off. You can stick with it, but it would likely be easier to just go half and half. Blue and white can work, I suppose. It's not the best work with tertiary colors, however. The eye's dull, and doesn't particularly go well with the coat. If you're looking strictly for complimentary colors (limited to 2), then orange and teal would work. Pic related, although the small image size and dimensions are a hindrance.

>>5090054 That eye is a gorgeous pastel. Unfortunately, eyes are the one place pastels have the hardest time working. And I'd switch one of the mane colors with the coat color; he may "need" to be brightly colored for the job he was so obviously born to do, but the blue you've got for his coat right now is just too much for a primary color unless you want to tone it down a lot. I'd tell you to lose one of the two tones in the mane, too, but I doubt that you'd listen, especially with Che Guevera, Liberator of Creative Designs over here trying to knock down the critics and tear the thread a new one.

>>5090127 I agree with the orange, but I think his choice is fine. It's actually good that the eyes don't pop too much because of how much his coat does. On the color wheel you posted his coat is clockwise to pure blue, closer to green than to purple. The orange would work horribly if he kept the same coat color, but I like this coat color.

>>5090177 again, it's a good color for his coat. I think it works perfectly, and changing it would require him changing the mane to, and basically reworking everything again. The eyes work fine as a pastel in this case.

Because of this thread and PASTELS >Also curious as to why you'd make a potter a pegasus. Unicorns and earth ponies are usually the artisans, and clay usually isn't too common up in the air. Gay backstory time: Originally I had him actually doing Apple-style farm work because he loves the shit out of veggies. Then I scrapped that idea because pegasi can't really grow food like earth ponies, and THEN I dug the idea back up because, let's face it, would an upbeat cartoon horse let LOGIC stop him from following his dreams? So I compromised: If he can't grow the food, maybe he can make something that helps grow food. Pone food = plants. Plants grow from pots. Could he make pots? It's certainly a bit weird, but not every pegasus makes a living flying and not every pegasus comes from Cloudsdale. Besides, I kinda like the mental image of a pegasus sitting at a potting wheel, using his wingtips to smooth and sculpt the clay. Hooves and snouts aren't well-suited for such meticulous work; pone wingtip feather finger tentacles are just right.

>>5090276 If I may reword my thoughts on the coat: Were this same color to appear in force on my screen in *any* context, I would be reviled. It is too bright and bold for the primary color of a pony, and really too bright fro the primary color on anything else, either. Now, I love the color blue; the hue he's chosen here in particular is quite nice. It's too saturated, though, and it hurts my eyes to look at it. If you just lowered the saturation 15 points, it would still be loud enough to make a "good" DJ pony, I suspect, but it would be light enough to bear looking at. >>5090452 Before anyone else gets to it and says it: it looks like a ponysona. Most ponies don't have such pale coats, such brown hair, or glasses. Going with a color scheme like you have would suggest that you're probably basing your pony's looks off of your own. As I've said before, even if you must make a ponysona, I'd suggest that you don't make it look like you; it can think like you, it can sound like you, it can be like you, but if it looks like you, it's probably going to look out of place in Equestria.

Anyways: Mane seems like it's a large bulb, while the tail is more of a swirl (See: Mrs. Cake's tail). May just be my perception from the lines. If so, try to make them match. Glasses may be unnecessary, depending on occupation (which we can't determine, since she has no CM). Don't use them if it's unnecessary. Less is more, blah blah blah.

>>5090460 Actually the colors were fine. A slightly lighter shade for the mane, a near black maybe, and it would have been fine in THAT regard at least. If you want that same color for the coat still then go for it. I keep saying it's always interesting and sometimes can make the thing if you play the eye color off the cutie mark. I don't see any reason to think you have bad eye for matching colors yourself so figure out what is most important to you and see what works with that. If you like the current version's coat and don't like being applejackish, then maybe try a brown you like, one complimentary to the coat. Even then you don't HAVE to play by those rules. Pure black of course is a no-no, but see what you like that works.

>>5090954 Backstory: She was raised as a filly in a desolate town with little to no rainfall. There weren't many pegasi ponies in that area, so they couldn't make it rain when the town needed it. BrightSpark adored the pegasi ponies, but was born a unicorn instead. She didn't care for using her magic too much, and wasn't good at it anyways. She was kind of shy, and had a few good friends. One day, some male fillies were teasing her, because they found out about her love for the pegasi ponies, and how she wanted to be one. She got so upset, that she blew up in rage, and activated her magic in her horn, and the magic beamed up to the nearest miniscule cloud. The cloud grew 10X in size, and delivered the best rainfall the town has ever had. She then gained her cutie mark. Now that she's older she lives in Ponyville. She helps out the other pegasi ponies from the ground, to help deliver rain, and thunderstorms that Ponyville might need.

While the smile says she's happy, the eyes portray a softer image. Try being more clear about the expression by perking up the eyes or something. CM looks like it's about weather, which should really be for a pegasus, not a unicorn. There's no eyelashes on the bottome part of the left eye, which is beginning to be an annoying flaw.

>>5091358 Well those colors aren't bad. You could lower the saturation a little, but that can all be down to the lighting. Try something different for the eyes though. See how a different blue works, or have someone not colorblind see how a different blue works, then work from that. Maybe tone down the coat's saturation a pinch and then brighten it, then darken the mane just as much.

>>5092075 Alright then, I'll go over it anyway I suppose. >>5091937 Mane and tail don't match, first off. See hoe the ribbon is present in the mane, but not the tail? You'll also notice that the mane is long, and has a bead halfway down the side. The tail is not the same kind, rather, it's a completely different tail. Lime CM, huh? Seems appropriate, I guess. Ironic because the last one was about lemon and lime. Scrunch face unnecessary, but whatever. Try bringing up the saturation in the eye slightly, but be careful not to overdo it. Bonus points if someone can repost the OC that looks similar from last week.

Just want you guys to know A lot of OC's suck, but you guys take it in the complete opposite direction and quash any attempt at differentiation. This is not an inherently good thing. Sometimes, a character with a major deviation in design is a good thing.

>>5099505 Mane and coat need to contrast more. Accessories are generally a bad thing. This is no exception, but the reason is: normally, they make a pony look too busy. Your handkerchief just looks dumb on a fencer, though. Oh, and your coat's rather saturated.

35 hours later 5099613 Page
>>5099516 >>5099505 Perfect timing Good job, /mlp/ >>5099505 But in all seriousness. Get rid of the scarf, the wings are darker than the coat for some reason, and it's pretty monochrome. Add some color to the coat besides that yellow. Also, pastels.

>>5099697 Why can't the hair match the coat? Look at a pony. Why do accessories make ponies look busy? Because most ponies don't have them. Remember the KISS principle. Why are saturated coats bad? Look at a pony and fuck yourself. >>5099839 I thought the wing and coat colors might have been different, but assumed it was an optical illusion. Page just latched on to it and pressed it because you did. >>5099859 >And as for the bandanna, I kinda like it. Looks too... empty without it to me. But, thats my opinion. I kind of like the bandana, truth be told. Bandana, handkerchief; whatever. But when was the last time you saw a fencer wearing one around his neck? It doesn't fit the character. >>5099837 I honestly like the old design more. Would you consider switching the color(s) of the mane with that of the coat? >>5100059 Sure. Fine. Go kick a ball at that FC Barcelona pony someone posted a few weeks back. Has it been a month now? Though in seriousness: Mane too saturated, coat needs tint, tail and mane don't match. Still better than most soccer ponies.
