Thoughts and Criticism on my Ponysona

[LumenNightlight 11]

This took many hours and several long nights to make. So y`all better appreciate my hard work, or else.

Ponysona is a little misleading. He`s more of an OC I plan to use as an avatar and also a Changeling. More specifically a Changeling that learned to live on his own love, which is why he`s a different morph. The full album is available here: https://imgchest.com/p/agyvrbdaj78   Only images 1-6 are his character sheet, images labelled 1-19 are reference material. This was my very first time making a characters sheet, so appologies if it looks bad or certain details aren`t explained very well. Feedback is appreciated

There is also a 10 page PDF expaining my process, reasons for certain decisions, and elaborating on some details. No I`m not kidding about this sadly, it`s available here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/ehvjow6q3g8e6uh/OC_Thoughts_and_Prayers.pdf/file  You don`t need to read all of this, all of the relevant information should be in his character sheet. But if you`re wondering why I made certain descisions, like why the green looks so washed out, there is a full section where every single colour in his palette is explained in detail. This document was made to be skimmed, I know people will only read the sections that interest them, so don`t be intimidated by its lenght. I would also like to apologize here for the poor style of this document, this was at the tail end of all my creative struggles and I just wanted to get it done. Pinkie Party Promise I can write better than that

There have been many different revisions of just about every aspect of this character. This is only the semi-final version, I would not be asking for feedback otherwise. Everything is fair game, everything can be changed. And don`t hold back with your scalding criticism. Obviously this isn`t an invite to be unnescessarily rude, but don`t sugarcoat anything to spare my feelings.

Lastly here`s a fun question I have no notes on: What should I call this new Changeling morph? Best Answer will be taken. 

Thanks to all of you in advance.

That painting is pretty good! But what's its name?

His name is Stigma. It`s in the ref sheet in the attached album. I know it`s an unconventional choice, part of the reason I chose it was because I thought to no one else would give their OC such a loaded name 

Stigmata are the holes insects use to breath out of (the spots on his neck and chest). Although the conventional meaning of the word does of course relate back to his personality and past. There are some slightly deeper facets to this, for example his alter pony ego is named Lumen Nightlight. Other than being a unit used to measure light, lumen also refers to the inside of a tubular organ in biology. Basically bringing us back to stigmata. 

Oh, and in case you`re wondering light is also a major theme of this character. Sorry if that`s a little hard to see in the sketch.

Very interesting character. I like him ^c,^ Also, I vote for Stigma and Insect and Pest Annihilator with 40 Watts rechargable UV LED Light splash and shatterproof Glass for Indoor and Outdoor Use in a 20 Meter Radius (Anni) for the shipping of the year.

Thank you 

I`m stupidly proud of having come up with this one. Let`s just hope she(?) doesn`t run out of batteries any time soon...
