SoupShimmer

Thanks Neutral! < I made a new icon for myself !

Thanks everyone!! So happy the colors etc. seem okay for my ponysona ^^!! Today I wanted to doodle Pinkie for some reason, so I did! Here she is, standing on one hoof being all silly ~

Wacom tablet + Paint Tool SAI :grin2: !

I'm thinking I'll continuously post all Pony-related drawings I make here ! This is the first picture of my OC, SoupShimmer. Doodle I made just recently, I also posted this in my design advice thread. I think she's adorable, love the mane. What do you think of the graphical design? (She's an earth pony who loves cooking and wants to become a great chef)

Thanks everyone for the warm welcoming greetings ! I feel super welcome, and yeah, I will try to upload some artwork soon. I'm really busy right now, because a convention is coming up. However, I will try to stay active on here and post now and then. -SoupShimmer

Hi Everyone! Thank you so much for your advice! I've thought some more and came up with "new" character attributes for her! SoupShimmer's + sides Great chef (hard working, has a great sense of smell/taste) Easygoing and kind Values friends & family above all else Good with animals (Likes cooking pet-food as well) Loves storytelling SoupShimmer's - sides A bit old-fashioned (Doesn't know much of new trends) Easily stressed (Often gets anxious under pressure) Afraid of being alone Superstitious And now for some backstory! SoupShimmer grew up with her mom and dad both working in the Hotel business. She and her younger sister, Salty, often came home to an empty apartment due to both parents working overtime. This led to SoupShimmer learning to cook at an early age in order to have dinner despite no grownups being present. After finishing school to become a chef, she started working in the kitchen of the same hotel as her parents worked at. However, she soon realized such a stressful life was not for her and (hesitatingly) left her mom, dad and little sister to set out to look for a new job. This is what eventually led her all the way to calm, peaceful little Ponyville. ... Still need to work on it, but there we have some kind of outline, at least! As for graphical design, I used this to make a quick color scheme. I haven't had time to draw anything on my own yet. What do you think about these colors? I like them lots myself! Green~ Yellow~ reminds me of tasty vegetables. The mane and tail need work to be more original etc. however. I need to draw my own version asap. Oh! and she needs a cutie mark... EDIT: Made my own drawing of her now! Her cutie mark is a soup bowl with sparkles. I love how the hair turned out, what do you think?

Hello! I'm trying to design my first MLP OC, SoupShimmer, right now. All of you who are used to seeing a ton of MLP OCs, do you guys have any general advice for me? Some Do and Don'ts I should keep in mind? My ponysona's personality is much like my own, but instead of costume-building and drawing, her main focus is cooking. She loves to learn new recipes and even make up completely new ones! I'm not sure where in Equestria she lives or even what kind of pony she is- but probably an earth pony since they are so passionate about food? Hmm... So- Yeah- if you have anything to share that you think might be helpful, please do!

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Rarity How did you find MLP Forums?: Google, I was looking for fun & active My Little Pony-related communities. How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: My Boyfriend started watching the series after finding out about it online, probably through 4chan or the like. I sat down and saw season after season with him and finally came to the conclusion "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" -is- pretty awesome! HI EVERYPONY! I'm so new I haven't even designed an OC yet. I'm thinking of a pony who specializes in cooking. Probaby an earth pony, then? I haven't decided yet! So hard to know what fits me best. I am a small-business toy designer who makes fursuits on the side. I've always loved drawing and I'm annually on staff for a local (Swedish) furry convention. My dream is to continually keep getting better at costume-building and drawing comics! Hmm.. what more is there to say.. I.. I keep quails? *squee*
