Oooh goodness, thanks for all the interest and compliments everyone! I'll post which characters I'll be drawing when I get back from work tonight, but for now, the shop is closed to any new forms.
Edit-
I'll draw these 5, not necessarily in this order though. Cx
Character's name: Cocoa Pod
Species: Unicorn
Reference: Link to page
Short personality: Link above
Character's name: Gardenia
Species: Earth Pony
Reference:
Spoiler
Short personality: Noble, graceful. Reserved but generally cheerful and friendly.
Other: A bit taller than average for a mare. Almost always wears her necklace, and generally wears some sort of outfit, aswell.
Name: Sobori
Species:Okapi ( a cute little African animal related to the giraffe.)
Personality: She is shy and slightly clutzy, Her whole life centers around her work and less around friendships. She is hard working and diligent keeping her nose to the grindstone, but never ever is she mean to another pony.
Character's name: Camilla Nightborn
Species: Bat Pony
Reference: -snipsnip-
Short personality: At her core, she's an energetic, curious, and bright pony. She enjoys reading and is comfortable with research and complex material (for her time), though she has a strong love for fiction and drama. Regardless, circumstances of her life have made her a good deal awkward and jumpy around other ponies, as she is legitimately a shut in. So, she's a mix of energetic and skittish. It doesn't help that she's still quite young--likely somewhere between the CMC and mane 6 while drifting slightly towards the latter.
Other: She is the protagonist of what I hope to be my first fanfiction story that makes it past a few chapters. The setting is only a few decades--if that--after the banishment of Nightmare Moon, so she has a bit of a medieval/colonial air, and non-modern mindset. She hasn't discovered her talent as per being a shut in for reasons relating to negative views on the bat pony race, but eventually falls in with a band of wandering actors regardless.
Also, the 2-colored wings are a stylistic choice on my part, and not a true part of her character design; I draw pony wings with both their base color and the primary color of their mane.
Character's name: Paint Brush.
Species: Unicorn.
Reference: Here's the picture:

Short personality: She's charismatic, but can be haughty at times. She likes paint and explosions.
Other: The colour of her magic is the same colour as her eyes. Her eyes are the same shape as Twilight Sparkle's. Her tail is usually covered in blue paint. Dark blue is for the paint and the cutie mark, while light blue is for the hairband and neckerchief.
