retrosteamknight 22 December 2, 2014 Share December 2, 2014 Hi! I'm retrosteamknight and I'm here to share my knowledge regarding your problem! Try to have a main colour that brings out the detail colours as best as they can. Or, if you're feeling ambitious, you can try and base the colours off character traits. Expert in herbs? Colour her a a delicate green with a pinch of sea foam. Her name is Rosemary? Her hair can be a shade of purple as a nod to the colours of the flowers on a rosemary bush. Cutie Mark? That's trivial. How about a Rosemary Bush? But the eyes you may need to figure out for yourself. Just follow my tips above for the best results. Here's an example of what I was talking about... Yo! Twilight-sama and Rainbow Dash! How are you doing? Check it out yo! Garnet... What is this "Shakera Kyou" that you speak of? Hey, Retro! Don't say that, it makes you look dense! ... Shakera Kyou...

retrosteamknight 22 December 2, 2014 Share December 2, 2014 What AmberDust suggested was rosemary leaves for the cutie mark, don't know if that works. You can do whatever you'd like for the Cutie Mark. When it came down to me, I took only very minor advice from forum-goers and decided to make Garnet's Cutie Mark something totally different that I felt applied to HIM. I'm just here to provide assistance, but you can do whatever comes to mind. I think Rosemary Leaves would kinda work as a cutie mark, because it matches her name and her knowledge of herbs, but do consider that Cutie Marks appear when a pony finds his/her special talent, thereby eliminating the possibility of naming somepony after a cutie mark. So that means that selecting a cutie mark just to match the name is probably not a smart idea most of the time. It works sometimes, but not always. This means that you're going to have to go on a game of hide n' seek to find your OC's special talent and thereby earn major inspiration for her Cutie Mark. Yo! Twilight-sama and Rainbow Dash!

retrosteamknight 22 December 2, 2014 Share December 2, 2014 (edited) Everypony is good at something, but nopony is good at everything, not even me.For instance, I'm not good at naming OCs. If you aren't great with cutie marks, I can probably help you if you provide an accurate description of your pony's cutie mark. Edited December 3, 2014 by retrosteamknight Yo!

AmberDust 1,118 December 3, 2014 Share December 3, 2014 (edited) Okay, so here's what I've got. The first one is my original drawing of Rosemary...it's old so you can just ignore it. The second one is her current design you made on pony maker (I might have changed it a little in my drawing ) In the third image, you'll see some ideas for cutie marks. #1 is three rosemary flowers. #2 is two sprigs of rosemary around a heart (symbolizing health). #3 is just two plain leaves. #4 is a bundle if rosemary. What do you think? Oh and the last pic is an idea for the colour scheme. I tried balancing out the cold greens and purple with some orange..idk Edited December 3, 2014 by AmberDust 2 Need help with your OC? I'd love to assist you! Just visit my help thread.

Tom Snyder 4,112 December 4, 2014 Author Share December 4, 2014 (edited) Plus her self defensive style is an added bonus, i wanted to base it off Kajukenbo. as they say, a good offense is a good defense. Her whole family is a clan of fighters, this family trait is the thing to help her survive. Amberdust thought it would work well with her since she's an earth pony. its said they have earth magic(strength) am i wrong? I second this. Also the sprigs are purple, which if you choose to make her hair purple then it'll match. I did want to make it purple, but it got changed to a lighter color. But its good to see people working together for once.

AmberDust 1,118 December 4, 2014 Share December 4, 2014 (edited) To be honest, Amber, i thought you were a guy. So i guess we all were wrong. I guess we both saw something in the other that we could relate too. That's why I thought you were my gender and you thought I was yours. Either that or I thought your avatar looked like a girl. Anyways, my one concern regarding the cutie mark you prefer is that it has the colour red in it, which might be hard to fit with the other colours in her palette.
