    The blue IS an accent--it's just the colour of her cutire mark. That's really all I've set in stone--her cutie mark is blue and white.

    http://mlpforums.com/topic/114246-colours-help-me-decide/#entry3271822 I've got the poll ready right here, but I'm still taking suggestions. I'm just...not getting the look I wanted. It's too cold looking, I think. I dunno. I feel like its missing something. Maybe it's just my art style that's lacking. :/

    This character seems to much like a high level D&D wizard to be able to fit into the canon of the show. She's definitely overpowered. You really should focus more on personality instead of all these ridiculous powers. She's like all the Marvel superheroes in one.
  4. AmberDust
    Well, the good news is, I'm not here to rate your OC, I'm here to help you improve her. Does that help? If you still need help, I'd really love to.

    I'll need a but more context than that. ^^' what did Silverwisp say?

    This sounds interesting, and I'd love to join, but I think bringing religion into it is a bad idea...it'll be bait for angry commenters and trolls, and its not really something a lot of bronies want to hear. Like, it seems sort of irrelevant to discussion. I figured this group would be more centered around debunking theories and making new ones about upcoming episodes and such...but now I'm a little confused. Do you plan on analysing mlp on a moral level? Because the morals are literally stated at the end of each episode.

    @@draconictome sorry if I wasn't very helpful. I made my OC when I was 17, too (this summer). I'm not saying you need to start with a ponysona, just that its good to be flexible with your character when you're still making it, and let if develop itself naturally. Don't force it. Anything specific youre stuck on?
  8. AmberDust
    That is such a great question! Nice! I'm goin to try and answer this to the best of my ability... ♦ How I developed my OC ♦ I hope I was helpful, and this wasn't a tl;dr situation. >.< @@draconictome and basically everyone else... Here's another important thing to remember. Somepony's personality isn't only developed by big life events, but by aspects in everyday life. Like family-- Being the oldest child, youngest child, or only child--having one parent, two, or none. are they the only of their species (pony type) in their family or friend group? Do they feel like they fit in? Do they think they're better/worse than anyone else? Everything can affect the way ponies and people act and see themselves and others. Take from real life patterns. Little daily things can make a big impact on personality! Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology...culture and sub-cultures, where they live and how... Et cetera.

    I really hope not. There were originally only supposed to be two Alicorns in a of Equestria--but since they're basically selling out ...I don't know what to expect. I liked it better when Alicorns were like deities, and if they become common (or if everyone becomes a princess, which, considering what a princess is, would fail horribly) they'll lose all their worth. I was upset enough when they make TS an Alicorn... But she was always destined to be heir at least. I can't imagine Alicorn Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, AppleJack... Any of them, really. It just seems so stupid to me... Anyways, I sincerely hope they don't sell their show's authenticity for the sake of a new toy line... We already have Equestria Girls--isn't that far enough?

    I'm also offering to help people with their OCs here, if you don't mind my advertising (link in signature). Anyways, I was hoping I could get your help/opinion on my character's colour scheme right off the bat: http://mlpforums.com/topic/114246-colours-help-me-decide/#entry3250514 Here's her entire profile: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/amber-dust-r7518 (But really what I need most is help with colours--I'm pretty desperate.) (You don't need to review her personality and such just yet if you're too busy, although I'd really appreciate it. I guess that's up to you and your curiosity. She's still a work in progress, and she's my first mlp OC.)
  11. AmberDust
    Okay. It's a good start, but by no means a finished character. She seems a little too much like a Twilight Sparkle copy--her name, her colours, her hobbies, her residence--but you can avoid this by giving her a little more of a personality and maybe changing some things up. So far all I know about Dusk's (is that her full name?) personality is that she's stubborn and doesn't know if she has any friends (that part really confused me...something about asking if Candy was her friend? I don't reall get it.) It's kind of strange that you said she was really friendly to customers. It's seems to contradict the rest of what you said. Aaanyways, there's a lot to be added. Like a backstory! Where did she come from? Why does she study magic so much? What does she like? Why does she have a hard time making friends? Basically, what events in her life made Dusk the way she is? Dusk will be a lot easier to relate to if you give some context to her struggles. What you have so far is a good starting point, but to flesh her out you need to make her more interesting and relatable--and don't try too hard to make her like Twilight Sparkle. It'd do her good to be her own pony! Was that helpful? I can be more specific if you'd like.
  12. AmberDust
    I personally think the purple one is too bold and doesn't suit her personality. she's supposed to be a sort of explorer, so I want her design to indicate solitude, mystery, and magic. But still, @Psycrow, I'm unsure of how well the colours suit her. Bu anyways was my advice helpful at all? Do you still need help?
  13. AmberDust
    I'm guessing you want a song won lyrics, right? For some reason this popped into my head: Just a warning since I don't know your age, you might find it a little creepy (but its not violent or anything).
  14. AmberDust
    @Psycrow, would you then kindly contribute to my poll? As mentioned in my initial post? :3
  15. AmberDust
    Starting to look it over. I like her colour scheme mostly, but the make-up is a little much. Even if it is supposed to look silly, it's a little saturated. Okay, time to get reading... Okay, so, design is good. I'm not really a fan of batponies or other non-pon OCs, but that's just my preference. It just seems too much like a novelty put in place of personality-- but again, thats just my preference, and your character is more than just that, don't worry. The backstory's nice--albeit a little ambiguous--you could go into her personality more, since we don't know much about her other that that she's an ex-snob scaredy cat. I like the adventurous spirit, although its opposing her personality...know what I mean? Also, I'm not sure how well it fits in with mlp lore...since there's never been any real ghosts in the show. But I guess that's fine so long as you weren't planning in using her in canon-based roleplay or whatever.
  16. AmberDust
    It's certainly an interesting idea. I'm not sure how well it would fit into the lore of mlp... But I like the origin rumours you've come up with. The design is mostly good, but the mane colours are too saturated for my taste. You should try drawing her yourself. I admire her character! I like the curiosity she holds and her positive attitude regarding her less-than-stellar life. Are you writing/planning a story about her? Because I don't know how we'll she'd fare in roleplay. :/ Also you ought to check your spelling--I know it had nothing to do with her character, but it helps to keep readers reading. Overall I'd say its a nice and creative character situation-wise. You could afford to develop her personality a bit more, and I hope you have a backstory prepared, even if you aren't revealing it. Would you help me with my character, too, as I requested? :3
  17. AmberDust
    Visually speaking, I suggest you give up most of the screen to the episode itself--since you're just talking and people don't really need to see you to know what you're doing, it'd make more sense to show the episode in a larger part of the screen so people can know just whats going on without having to squint.

    IMPORTANT NEWS SECTION -------------------- Firstly, You can now PM me if one of your friends is in need of an OC intervention. I'll contact them and offer my help while keeping your identity secret, unless you'd rather be part of the intervention. This concept is still experimental. Secondly, If you don't want me to critique your OC publicly, write in your comment that you want me to reply in the form of a PM. Or, if you don't want anypony else to have access to your OC's info, simply write a comment saying that you PMed me. This way, the thread will stay alive but you can keep your privacy. Thirdly, I'll be critiquing your OC's under the assumption that you want them to be able to fit into the realm of canon. So, basically, I'll assume they're an mlp fim OC, and not, say, a Resident Evil OC in the shape of a pony. Make sense? Okay, read on. -------------------- Hello everypony. I'm offering to help you with the creation of your OCs! I can help you with names, personalities, back stories (maybe), design, and cutie marks, or I can give a full critique of your OC, if you just want a second opinion. So go ahead and post your OCs and whatever you need help with. Make sure you are specific as to what you want me to help with. Thank you! And I hope I can help.

    Oh, I might not have mentioned this--please don't judge based on the hairstyles or poses or things like that--Amber will wear any and all of these hairstyles a one point--I just need opinions on colour. unfortunately i accidentally deleted the poll...would you mind checking it out again? >.<
  20. AmberDust
    Hello and welcome! Thes forums might not be as popular as they could be, but its a very friendly and helpful community. I hope you have a good time and you don't get lost in the confusing layout like I did... Maybe I'll hear from you in the creative resources down in Octavia's hall.
  21. AmberDust
    I'd request one made with a drawing of my FC, but I haven't decided on a colour scheme... Would you be able to help me choose one? >.<' I'm really unsure of myself... I made a poll here, but I'm not getting many opinions unfortunately. http://mlpforums.com/topic/114246-colours-help-me-decide/#entry3249099 I'd really appreciate it. ^^
  22. AmberDust
    Sorry if this seems intrusive...but would you check out my poll? I need help with my OC, too... Please? http://mlpforums.com/topic/114246-colours-help-me-decide/#entry3249099 Oops sorry I did t mean to post that twice! I guess I'm just really desperate lol
  23. AmberDust
    Aah, okay I get it. I'd love to look over your work some time.
  24. AmberDust
    How about a bottle of red ink? It'd match his eyes and name.
  25. AmberDust
    I don't really understand your choice in powers...I mean, every unicorn is exceptionally good at telekenesis--is he just even better? Like, he can lift more, heavier things or something? If you are really going with that as a talent, you could make his cutie mark related to his time in the war, so it's easier to turn intros symbol. You could make it a cannon with an aura to represent his strength, or maybe a missile or tank. Other options include a balance of the four elements, or a yin-yang type of thing. But make sure whatever it is, it doesn't clash with the colour scheme!
