Need opinion on this oc so it can be improved

[Sony 106]

I thought of making a party pony but I need your help so I can make him better. I've already thought of a name and a cutie mark for him but I'm lacking on mane and tail. Here's the oc, what can I do to improve him to be a better oc? (Note that I used generalzoi oc creator to review before drawing it out)

A stallion partygoer, right? First thing that I noticed about his appearance are the gradient socks - something that doesn't happened yet in the show proper, and may be frowned upon by other people because of that. He could be a Palonimo, like Sunburst or Pisqueek, so you could have different coloured spots on him, although it would be good to keep them in a more "realistic" spectrum, or in a complimentary hue to the main coat colour. Right now I just look at him and think he just finished mashing grapes with his hooves. Or danced in a punchbowl.

 

Now mane and tail wise, you could start with thinking what kind of parties he likes to attend, and how he acts there. His 'do could reflect his style - see Pinkie for the wild no breaks attatched fun or "80-ies Cheerelie" for capturing the spirit of the era. His mane could reflect personality, favourite music style, that kind of thing.

What was your name and cutie mark idea? That may help give some insight on the mane/tail. I kinda like the gradient legs as long as you can explain them. I would change the eye color to help it stand out, perhaps to that same blue color as the mane, or the pinkish hue from the legs. I think the jagged style works for a party character (though I might draw the tail a little differently). I think adding an accessory would help too, like an earring, some body/face paint, or even like a party hat!
