BronyGeeks 10 October 25, 2014 Share October 25, 2014 (edited) So, I posted a thread the other day asking for your guys' opinions on my oc and ways to improve on the design. I noticed that a lot of you said he should be darker, but I think a major common misconception was that people thought my OC was a Vampire bat pony similar to Fluttershy. In reality, my OC is just you're run of the mill bat pony such as this: http://gyazo.com/6a914082dd3358834078a120b7cb023a So, with that out of the way, I was wondering if I could get your guys' opinions on my new OC. If you have any critiques or judgments, don't be afraid to let me know what those are. Edited October 27, 2014 by BronyGeeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonsponies 101 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 well the fangs sticking out really remind of a vampire bat pony, i'd also advise the most right hoof (in the perpsective of the drawing itself) to be lower then the back most far hoof since the most right hoof is the one standing closer to the viewer. apart from that nice job, most people tend to go overboard with their color palet but you didn't ^^ i've been drawing for 3 years now practicing dragons and poniesi'd love it if you could check out my Deviantart or Tumblr. i also sell commissions right here on MLPForums, check it out!

yayayayayala 1,668 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 Much better, now that the bright yellow mane is fixed! Not so hard on *my at least* eyes, lol. I like the contrast of all these muted colors and then the bright green eyes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keidachan 48 October 27, 2014 Share October 27, 2014 It feels a little disjointed to have the wings be the same color as the mane and tail instead of the coat, perhaps bring the coat color somewhere into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverwisp the Bard 2,353 October 29, 2014 Share October 29, 2014 Overall a pretty good design. The fangs bother me a bit since they lookj pretty vampiric to me me, but that's your call to make -The cutiemark looks a bit busy; getting rid of the gradient and some of the stars should do the trick -the colour on the wings and mane look just a bit too saturated, maybe tone them down just a bit (the batpony you linked to is a good point of orientation) -make the border between the the lighter and darker parts of the mane & tail jagged, so it will fit with the outlines -The eyecolour needs to change; green does work well for the colourscheme, but the one you got right now is way too neon-ish. I'd suggest something along the lines of these of seagreen or a pale jade -maybe give him an accessory to make him more distinct Hope that helped. Does he have a backstory? My Art Thread, updated (almost) daily Tomorrow will take us away, far from home No one will ever know our names But the bard songs will remain.

This is my first time really designing an oc so I wasn't too familiar with some of the basics. I'm fixing him right now in fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
