Fairy Ponies

Rainbowing Navi now! I don't like what it did with my mane though, it added a horrendous orange and yellow. I like the dark blue it gave me though...

SPIDERS ARE EVIL. BURN IN THE FIREY DEPTHS OF HADES

SPIDERS ARE EVIL. BURN IN THE FIREY DEPTHS OF HADES

I would say that this OC is pretty bad. 

Alicorn with no generic backstory and stupic cutie mark? Yeah...

Whoa the second one you posted was awesome I love it. <3 No I'm serious I think it is.

Yeah, It's decent except that it's quite the eysore. More bad ocs:

This OC is awesome! <3 Love it!  

The only good reason she said was that the ponies doesn't look original. But that's just the looks. Your OC consists of more then that.

 

 

Notice that I don't give a single shit about that. Looks isn't that important in a OC, personality is.

 

In all honesty, maybe it isn't the pony creator that takes away your "fans" maybe it's yourself.

Listen, I'm gonna stop arguing about the pony creator. Any further posts about "what's wrong with the pony generator" will be deleted and ignored. This thread was for posting good and bad OCs so people could talk about them. And could the cursing be stopped please?

I think we can all agree that the following OCs stink.

O

I've tried to use a base. It looked like shit. That's why I don't use them anymore. Also I won't request someone to draw for free. I don't see the need for it.

 

What's so wrong about people using the pony creator?

Okay, I could go on typing forever, so I'm going to give you two videos to watch that have may good reasons to hate the pony creator.https://youtu.be/v1t_jl7Clxs https://youtu.be/oCDSMaCwLVQ Notice that her OC is drawn, and is has so many features that the pony generator can't even compete with!

Saying that I can't use the pony creator because it makes you feel less like a special snowflake is a very selfish thing to say. I don't care if you feel special or not!

... I'm not saying you can't use the pony generator, and imagine the only thing you're good at is art, and you are REALLY good at it, but people don't give a FLYING FEATHER about your skills because making a cardboard cutout is "just as good." Watch the two videos above, please.

Imagine this: You're a pony whose cutiemark is a apple or something. You can't draw for 2 cents. However you really want a painting to hang on your wall. The problem is that the only artist in town is the biggest jerk. The artist looks down on ponies that can't draw and acusses everyone who doesn't buy something of him/her to "making him/her loose not only money but also skill". Suddenly a pony appears who is not only nice, but he also offers to give away decent paintings for free.

 

Answer this question: Would you rather buy a painting from the artist who is a jerk, or would you take a free painting from the nice pony?

Okay, fine. I don't expect people to be good at art and I don't look down on people for not being able to draw well. Not everybody has to buy a commisioned piece, nor does anybody have to buy a specific person's art, but they could at least try using a base or request someone to draw for free. I'd be happy to draw someone's OC for free if they would just ask.

 

Forgive me if my english is bad.

 

 

But from what I remember, the term "OC" - Original Character, i dont understand for what one post about one thing so simple... 

 

 

What is the problem of "OC" be "OP"?

 

In my view imagination has no limits and when you imagine your character, no matter whether it is the earth pony, pegasus, unicorn, alicornio, whatever, what matters is whether you are happy with your creation and excuse me not It is because of the fandom that has a ridiculous world view that one should hate people who do OC's of this type.

 

Just as we all have right to hate something, we are entitled to do something, the imagination can not be limited.

 

 

 

 

I find it totally acceptable, and everyone has the right to make the OC they want, and give the same the amount of power you want, the story too, and I'm sorry I think staying treating others differently because of an OC is Children and totally idiot, dont others for expressing their feelings by certain breed or pony style, each has the right to think whatever you want.

 

 

 

The fandom act like this when see one Alicorn Oc

 

OOOOOOOOOW NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! JUSTTTTTTT LAURENNNNNNNN CAN HAVEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAA ALICORN OCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC *CRY*          

 

Okay, my problem with OP OCs is that one of them encourages so many others, and it's always done badly. All MLP characters have some flaws, even Celestia. (regrets with banishing luna)

Let me ask you one thing, why is it rude to hate alicorn OCs but perfectly ok to hate OCs made with pony creator? And don't you dare say it's because artist lose money., because that's bullshit. Are those who draw other people OCs for free also taking money from those poor artists?

Ok, fine. I don't like alicorn OCs because they're normally not done well. Twighlight is a good alicorn because her flying isn't up to par. But most people's alicorn OCs are born that way, and are thereby flawless. Pony creator is just kind of a parasite to artists because people can just click a couple buttons and have a "perfectly good OC" instantly, which makes artists, that being their special snowflake skill, feel like less special snowflakes when people have OCs that look like you pulled them from the show. NOW do you see my point?

 Then they make a new OC and draw that one. Or they can ask me  if they can  draw my OC. And I'll let them, for a small price of course. 

 

 

 

Technically they lose money. I don't eat at their restaurants which means that they don't earn as much money as they would if I ate at them. 

 

 

 

 

Where's the problem? If people want to have a lot of OCs then let them. 

 

 

 

No, it doesn't. You can use it to create alicorn OCs but it's not like it says "Make a alicorn OC".

 

 

 

 

They don't sell them. They give them away for free. And I still don't get the problem. Let them use a OC that isn't drawn. 

 

.

 

 

No. I don't. 

 

Listen, people feel less special when people have LOTS of decently made OCs because, OK, imagine this.

You are a pony whose cutie mark is a paintbrush or something. Art is your special talent. Suddeny, somepony comes around and starts giving away free art, so all the ponies want the free art that looks decent instead of your well-done art that only costs a couple of bits.

This, when happening often, really STINGS.

But artists can draw something else. They can draw their own OCs or maybe a tree. If they aren't wasting their time drawing my OC then they do something else, like practice their art or something.

 

If we're following this logic then it's wrong to give poor people free food. The chefs job is making and selling food. So by giving people food, you're making chefs lose their money.

 

Do you realize how stupid that sounds? Because it sounds extremely stupid.

Okay, but imagine the only thing you are good at drawing is ponies, and drawing your own OC gets old after a while. And as for chefs, does going to a grocery store make chefs lose money because you're buying food? No. And why? Mostly because chefs own restaurants that many other people come to. Besides, art and food are two WAY different things. You need food to live. But the pony creator makes OCs really quickly, just my clicking your mouse a couple times. So you can have lots of pony OCs. It also encourages alicorn OCs (which, BTW, my oc's a pegasus now) And on deviantart, people use these pony creator OCs for adoptables and sell them, so even less people want their OCs drawn. See my point?

How does me using the pony creator affect artists? and how does it make them lose skill or money?

Practice makes perfect, so artists have less chances to practice their art, and some people's art is their JOB. That's how they lose skill and money.

 

Well, having a special power is sort of part of being an alicorn, is it not? I mean, I will say that they don't need to be OP, and actually doing that makes them weaker as a character, but if they're just like every other pony, what's the point in making them an alicorn?

 

Having a name that matches the cutie mark and/or colors, isn't that, like, half of everyone? Most of the Apple family, most of the Pie family, Celestia and Luna, Shining Armor... 

 

As for how you can fix your OC, the colors are a bit drab. The azure mane and tail are good, but it's made of only cool colors. I recommend changing the eyes to a warmer color. Maybe a dark pink. That'll draw attention to the face and brighten up the appearance as well as make it more interesting. I know it seems to be based on Navi from OoT (and I apologize if I'm wrong) but, well, ponies aren't fairies, so...

 

Also, I now want to put 20 hats on my OC. Right now. All the time.

HAHAHA and thanks for the idea, I'll try that!

If somebody doesn't want to spend money to get their OC drawn, that is their choice and there is nothing wrong with using the pony creator. However there is the saying "you get what you pay for". Pony creator being free, you will get a pretty generic look without much complexity; but spend a few bucks on a commissioned piece and thats money well spent in terms of quality put into the image.

 

As far as alicorn OCs go I don't really like the idea of them. I myself have yet to design an OC, but I know that Alicorns are a unique and rare thing for equestria and being an alicorn is a pretty big deal. If somebody insists on making their OC an alicorn, whatever, I don't really care; just don't go flaunting it about like your the cats meow because literally anybody can make their OC an alicorn, they just choose not to either for respect for the show or some other personal reason.

 

And regarding the OPs list, I am going to add my 2 cents for some of the points:

 

2. Why is emotional distress a No-No? This is their 'original character' that represents who the creator is. If somebody has been through a troubled life they have every right to express it in their pony.

 

3. Handicaps are downsides, things that restrict a pony from doing something on the same level as others. Rainbow Dash may be fast AF, but her ego gets in her way. Her ego is one of her handicaps. I am a good programmer, but I for the life of me can't comprehend complex math equations. Math is my handicap that may affect my programming.

 

4. I haven't seen many rainbows on OCs, but if they want to base their character off Rainbow Dash thats fine. The show is supposed to inspire us, so why not take in such inspiration through character development and appearances.

 

5. Read Number 4

 

6. No comment...

 

7. Define consistent. If somebody wants to have the opposite ends of the color wheel on their character I don't care. Contrast stands out more and can look pretty good if done right.

 

8. Since when do names have to rely on the Cutie Mark? Last time I checked ponies were given names before their cutie mark came in (it just so happens that a lot of characters cutie marks resemble their names, but that might just be for ease of identification in the show)

 

9. I agree, I am not a fan.

 

10. Hybrid? Like half Griffon half diamond dog? I have yet to see this one.

 

11. I can probably name 10 FiM characters whose cutie marks "don't make a lick of  sense"

 

12. I agree, don't flaunt this shenanigans. 

 

13. See the top of my post.

Yeah, I guess some of this is a bit harsh, but pony creator is just annoying to people, including me.

I admire Luna's backstory and struggles. Plus, SHE'S THE RULER OF THE NIGHT!
EPIC MUCH! Fanart and adorable Luna face.  :comeatus:  https://youtu.be/h3kSPHcjN34

This is only one of my oc's, Dark Mist/Tainted Mist.  

That's awesome! I've seen lots of Sombra- OCs, but most are evil and related to Sombra. This one is much different. I like that! BTW, shattered glass cutie mark is EPIC!

First, I know it might be harsh. But as an artist, this thing pains me. Ouch.  :okiedokielokie: This thing makes cheap and quick OCs, and it takes no talents to click buttons and drag arond the colors.  Just, NO!  And you can post any OC off the internet.

Why. WHY? In castle, sweet castle, she is intimidated by the emti- you know what? my fingers are tired of thyping. Screw this.

My main OC is going to be a pegasus. Big deal, right? NO. But right now for my main OC, I'm using an alicorn named Princess Navi, as you can tell by my name and profile pic. So, I don't understand why all the hate goes into having an alicorn oc. Okay, so what if most suck? No need to be rude! So my question is: what should I do to fix my OC? My pegasus OC has some design hiccups that need fixing. Here is what I consider to be THE OC GUIDELINES!
 

1. Don't make it have an amazing special power or be the BFF of all the mane six

2. Evil/sad/emo backstories are a NO-NO

3. Handicaps. Bad. Use in strict moderation.

4. Rainbows are used too much= NO. 

5. Recolors are unoriganal.

6. Throwing on a cloak, glasses, 20 hats, and some butterfly wings is just SAD.

7. Be consistent with your color scheme.

8. Have a name that matches your cutie mark and colors.

9. Be VERY careful and tread lightly with alicorn OCs

10. Hrybrids are hard to do. Don't do them if it doesn 't make sense.

11. Make sure your cutie mark makes sense. 

12. Sons and daughters of princesses, villains, or the Mane 6 are bad.

Okay, that's about it. But one last rule:

13: PONY CREATOR IS ONLY USED TO GET AN IDEA OF THE DESIGN. GOT IT?

This really angers me, because artists lose skill (and sometimes money) to this EVIL THING. The PONY CREATOR is the only thing I hate about the Living Tombstone: PONY CREATOR OCS! You are bad and you should feel bad if you have a pony creator OC. DRAW IT, JEEZ. Or at least ask someone to draw it for you.

You guys post good/bad OCs below!

Okay, So I know the whole "PRINCESS" thing is seen as mary-sueish, but seriously, I only call MY alicorn OC that because she has a small crown, more like a hat. Yes, she started with the pony creator. NO, she is never going back there again. BTW, her wings aren't pegasus wings, they're supposed to be fairy wings like Navi from the Zelda games, I just liked the base a ton and can't draw wings very well. Also, the cutie mark is my own design. ... Can somepony tell me how to paste images from paint? Or how to get a URL from paint... SOS
