    This that's what I was having trouble with. At first I was thinking something metallic, like a silver for the overall scales and like a dull gold for the underbelly and wing webbing, but I wasn't sure because a friend had suggested dark blues and purples. Either way I wanted something dark or dull.

    That's what I said in my post though? He didn't fit in with the more aggressive hatchlings he grew up with and one day they migrated without waking him and he just never really cared enough to go after them. I probably could've specified though that he lingers outside of pony cities and just watches their day to day life because they don't push him to be more dragon like and are grateful that he isn't as malicious as he's expected to be.

    Well I can't say that my headcanon for dragon age COMPLETELY matches that but its similar. I've always believed that age was only important to dragons in size. Even though Spike is only a few years old in canon and is considered a baby, he talks and acts fairly mature, which makes me think they grow up mentally faster than they do physically. Spike has met teenage dragons before and they're fairly close to the size I visualized for Knash if not just a bit smaller. So my headcanon has always been this based on what we've seen of dragons: They mature fast and are expected to by their peers. They're immortal but they never stop growing. A baby can behave like an adult but be smaller than a pony, and an adult dragon will continue to get bigger until it dies by injury or illness. I believe Knash would be acknowledged as mature by other dragons, but yes, be considered a child by the older dragons who trump him in size and can tell how old he really is based on that.

    If you could I was wondering if you could offer ideas for a color scheme for a dragon? I have a drawing I'm just having trouble thinking of a color scheme. I was wanting to do something metallic or something with cool colors or maybe both. Black, blue, or purple flames were something I had in mind too.

    I'm in the process of designing a dragon OC for MLP roleplay purposes. I have a general idea of what I want to do but hearing the thoughts of others always helps me get creative. So here's what I have so far, if you have thoughts or ideas to help me add to it then I would appreciate it Name: Knasher ( Knash ) Species: Dragon Age: 23 Still working on a color scheme but as of now I am interested in a metallic scheme or something involving cool colors along with the concept of blue, black, or purple flames for him to breathe. Size is just above the height of Celestia on all fours but about 25% longer and bigger in mass. On two legs he's about twice the height of Celestia. As of now he's sort of a neutral-good character. He's not evil but he is pretty indifferent to anything that doesn't directly impact him negatively. He's always been pretty neutral to most anything which made his fellow dragons ostracize him for his serene behavior, and eventually they migrated without alerting him and he never bothered to try catching up. He doesnt particularly care about the opinions others have of him nor does he take great interest in their lives unless he's gotten to know them. Any day another dragon would spend fighting or terrorizing another, he would spend napping or lava bathing. That's not to say he's completely undragon-like. He likes to gossip and occasionally spreads a rumor that's sure to start some drama for him to sit back and watch. Seeing others pegged against each other amuses him and he doesn't care if they find out about his deception because of his size and abilities as a dragon. That said, his main object of entertainment is ponies since they stay stationary and he can observe them year round without them pushing him to be more ferocious as his kind would. He only offers assistance if it somehow benefits him or someone he at least considers an acquaintance begs enough. ( He has a weakness for gems and jewels ) If he's comfortable enough around someone or if he has the energy, he can be rather cocky and teasing. More of a suave, often likeable, douche personality. He's often mock flirtatious. That's about all I have for him so far. If anyone has any ideas for background or some suggestions for design and character it would be a big help. This is a drawing of what he looks like as of now.

    Good use of perspective. One note I have about it though is the water. When looking at things in the distance that are closer to the eye line, elongate them a bit. In this case try making the lake less round and more of a stretched oval shape. My other note would be proportions in the face. Try drawing in layers where you start with an outline of the body and add detail as you get to things closer to the viewer. ( Body outline, fur details, cutie mark, facial features, mane and tail ) Other than that great work!

    As a writer I just have to say that depending on what travesty you plan to write, you do have to make the character it involves relatable or at the very least lovable. Something about them needs to make the reader latch onto them. Even if they don't particularly have a love for the character they need to agree that the situation is unfair and harsh on them. You can also manipulate the audience into feeling some sort of sadness by making other characters hurt for them and shed tears. Using children often enhances this because people tend to be upset over anything that upsets a child. If it's a death, make it affect more than just the main character and allude to it long after its passed in the story if only momentarily. If you write the heartbreak as if you've experienced it yourself, this makes it more real for a reader. Accidents that take away dreams or aspirations hit hard if you've made sure to emphasize what it means to the character beforehand, but this worksfor many situations. Its all about what you believe you yourself would be emotionally wounded over. When you read over it, see if it causes a stir in you. The best stories are ones that the author feels attached to personally.

    I do plan on making him in the world of Equestria lol. I'm well aware of making a well balanced character, this is just all I have for the base at the moment. A bit of a design and some basic traits. I was hoping some people could give me a couple ideas on what to build him on, as I'm afraid right now of making him too much like other oc's I've already made by accident. Just looking for outside ideas to help me grow in character making

Size is just around the height of an Alicorn on all fours but about 25% longer and bigger in mass. On two legs he's about twice the height of Celestia. Some character traits as of now include flirtatious, teasing, laid back, indifferent to most issues, drama fueled, and helpful only when it benefits him. He isn't meant to be a straight protagonist, kind of an anti character of sorts.

    Update! I finished coloring him!
  13. PonyOfDespair
    Yay! Fem brother! That would be so cool! The only stuff I really have was two pictures made by I friend I don't hear from anymore so I've been trying to do my own art but I don't have money for good art software and my free trials are kind of used up
  14. PonyOfDespair
    He's undergone a HUGE transformation since I first designed him. I even tried doing a human version of him forever ago and I kind of want to do it again with the new design.
  15. PonyOfDespair
    Indeed! He's ironically one of the oldest of his brothers but easily the second or smallest at about mare size and he's extremely self conscious and feminine in behaviors. He blushes a lot and speaks softly and his appearance is meant to aid him in seeming like a mare.

    Thanks! The first one was done as soon as I got into the fandom so I was mostly trying to stay close to the shows art style. I hadn't drawn him in a long time though so I decided to give it a shot with my own style. I think he looks pretty cute! I started to color using copic markers and it looks nice but I don't have a shade of blue for his mane and tail Actually he's named Despair because he was made in coordination with my friends for a fanfiction about Elements of Chaos being created to end Equestria. He's artificial so he's supposed to represent self loathing and depression while his 'brothers' represent other forms of death of destruction. The newest drawing is more for canon rp's so that why some details have changed. Originally he turned out too cute for his creator's liking so he sewed a creepy smile onto him to try and make him more terrifying. He was deemed a failure and was originally designed with scars from self harm, but I've taken that out due to possible offenses that could be taken. Thank you very much! HE'S my pride and joy ❤️ I made him extremely androgynous though so I'm glad the gender mistake was made, he was made to be questioned like that hehe. Update: I've started the coloring process but I've hit a snag in that I don't have the sapphire blue needed for his mane and tail

    I redrew my OC since my style and design has changed and I was wondering if I should attempt color. I only have markers and I'm afraid I might ruin it if I try to add to it. Top is the old design, below is the new redrawn one.

    Cuddles?

    I really love a few of these. I like how the style varies depending on the pony being drawn at times.
  21. PonyOfDespair
    Dude did you do this when I wasn't around? Looks awesome! Even without the fading look he's supposed to have in the mane he's still an awesome character to look at!
  22. PonyOfDespair
    Cool! Like the edgy look you gave him.
  23. PonyOfDespair
    Omg so amazing! I love the ethereal beauty to it!
  24. PonyOfDespair
    Looks epic! Love the style!
