OC Help

[Strigidae 12]

Hiya,

 

I'm relatively new to the Herd, so I'd really like some help with my (first!) OC creation. I've got some ideas for an OC, but I'd like some feedback and guidance...if that's not too much to ask

 

Name: Cobalt Rush (I couldn't think of anything else)

Age: 17

Gender: Male, Pegasus

Cutie Mark: Not too sure on this one...perhaps a microphone or music note?

Personality: Some would call him a loner. Definitely a pony who likes keeping to himself, and as a result, tends to be shy when talking to strangers. A bit of an idealist, a bit of a poetic romantic sorta guy. Singing, songwriting and usually anything creative takes up most of his time and fulfils his random creative urges.

 

If I could get some feedback, anything I've missed, and where I can get somepony to draw my OC since I can't draw for peanuts...I'd be super grateful

Hm, so what kind of music would he write? when I heard poems I thought of a black beret next to a coffee for a cutie mark hehe.

Haha, actually he'd be writing soft pop/rock ballads and the like, so I guess the beret does suit him! That's a great idea, although I think it would be better if he wore the beret.

For the name, if you're planning on revising it, how about Cobalt Baritone? It sounds a bit more music-oriented, in my opinion! ^^ 

 

And I can draw him as well, I just need to know what colors he's comprised of and the like.

 I like the idea of revising the name, although i think if he's going to focus on the rock/pop side of music perhaps an instrument/part related to that genre would be best. So perhaps Cobalt fret, Cobalt bass, cobalt treble (Musical range that most parts are written in)

Thanks for all the replies

 

Actually, I was thinking the opposite to what Chip Circuit said, I imagined my OC more of a poet turned songwriter than a pop/rock band frontman

 

In terms of the name, I'm thinking Dusty Skies? Maybe-ish, since he is a Pegasus - although not too interested in flying.

 

@marshmallowbunnyy, it would be awesome if you could draw my OC! I'm thinking light blue, white, dark blue. It would be really cool if he could be wearing a beret or fedora too - something a little funky, artsy and jazzy. I'd be super grateful if you could give it a shot

That's a nice name, too! It doesn't sound too involved with flying.

 

And okay, I'll get on it right now.
