New OC - Jolly the Red Panda

[Night Visions 624]

Well, I was kind of surfing YouTube and minding my own business when I stumbled upon a video concerning the topic as to why there weren't very many non-pony OC's in the Brony community. In fact, most OC's are either an earth pony, a pegasus, or a unicorn. If they're neither of the three, then they're probably a variation of them or some other species found in the show.

 

The video also discussed how popular Brony reviewers could have an influence on the species of OC we pick. I mean, when you look at it, most of the OC's that reviewers use are one of the three main species from the show.

 

--------------------

 

Well, I became intrigued by the video and set off for a few hours to make myself a non-pony OC. Since my favorite animal in the world is the red panda, I decided to go with that.

 

Without further ado, I present Jolly the Red Panda:

That's really cute! I absolutely adore Red Pandas. c:

 

I'd just like to let you know, though, that your topic will probably get moved to the non-pony artwork section.

@,

Well, thanks.

 

I was fairly unsure of where to put this, so I just went with what seemed like the safest bet for me. My most sincerest apologies.

I like red pandas too.Because they look like raccoons, they are cute, and they live in Japan.

No need to apologize, I was just informing you! ^.^

@@GingerLightning,

Technically, they are related more to the racoon than they are pandas. Actually, they're part of their own family - the Ailuridae.

@,

It's a force of habit to apologise, but thank you for informing me.

i think the biggest reason the main 3 OC types are earth, unicorn and pegasus ponies is because they're what we see most in the show. it's the most recognizable. more species would bring more variation yet would perhaps not be seen as pony fanart and simply original art ^^

 

speaking of which this is a cool idea, and a great drawing, i'm surprised how well you drew and colored it on paper. do you often work traditionally or is this more of an exception?

I have to agree with you on why the three main OC types are earth, unicorn, and pegasus ponies.

 

But, I have been working traditionally for as long as I can possibly remember, so that's more of my strong point when it comes to art. Also, thanks for the compliment.
