Hello @Night Rain!

 

As this topic seems to deal with looking for advice and opinions on an original race, I'll be moving this to the Creative Resources section of Octavia's Hall where it should get the appropriate attention. Keep in mind that Sugarcube Corner is largely for topics dealing with the fandom itself.

 

Thank you and have a good day.

Wow, they look really awesome!  You are a really good artist!   I'm not an art critic, bu I feel you got a good balance of design, not too busy to the eye, but not to plain either.  Very cool!

Thank you.I thought them up but the art works my Sisters her name is Louise if it was not for here these lovely ponies would not be here.  By the way thanks for the reply it means a lot to me. I see a lot of viewers came by but not many comments and I thank you a lot for being the first of many I hope.

Considering that you've worked on these for 8 months along with some assistance from your sister, I assume you create characters? Because this race of pony is pretty interesting.

 

Perhaps what I love the most is the features of all of the ponies. It does look like something that'll be in the show, but it also oozes personality thanks to your art style. I also love how they're not too detailed, but not too simple either.

 

I can't say I'm too crazy about their abilities, however. They're not bad per se, but I could see some people criticising this race for having elements of both Changelings and Nightmare Moon. Still, these abilities work really well with the race's designs. If anything, I would probably tone down the abilities of this race, but that's all up to you. These are well designed, and it shows that you put in a lot of heart into it. Good luck!

Thank you for your in put. I will look in to the ability balance but I thought it would a nice way to create a rift between some. Say if some were against love feeding but some were, it would be a way to create problems within the race its self so its not a perfect life. But thank you again for your in put I will talk to my sis about this.

They are astonishing!

Good job! Really!

This reminds me of channellings for obvious reason, but that is not a bad thing. These are more like three races that took a different path then the channellings, hence why they are different sub-species, like the ponies. All in all, good work, especially on the drawings. Keep up the good work.

Well I am working on my OC back story for how the race came into existence. What they are is if the nightmare race and changelings cross bread. The plane is in the story Queen Chrysalis is trying to capture or kill the last of the nightmares. In the proses she creates the Nightlings to infiltrate some of there last strong holds to give her race an advantage. In the end she goes to wipe them out so her race alone would try to capture all of Equestria. I am planing a second smaller book with these ones here as they help the Queen do her dirty work and how they find out about there demise as they try to escape with there lives but that one will be a long ways away till I can finish the first book.
