My OC

[im scootaloo 24]

     Hey everyone, I recently decided to make an OC. I still haven't named him yet, but I plan on doing so soon. Anyway so what do you guys think about him?

[Victor van Dort 202]

Hmmm... while he is creative, he does seem a little... abnormal looking, although that might considerably be a good thing, that is, if you were trying to make him abnormal.

Red and Black are some of those most common colors used in an OC ever. Also her cutie mark looks like a slightly modified Twilight Sparkle cutie mark. I'd recommend picking colors that do not occur on the MS Paint default color palette. Then I'd recommend drawing it because the pony generator makes all ponies look gross :\

Hmmm... his head... that's a female head. And he has eyelashes. The "abnormal look" Azure refers to is the fact that his body is too big (not tall- thick) for this head. His wings also seen too small. you might want to try the other head and wing models in General Zoi's pony creator, or else make his neck thinner. Other than that, it seens good, and I bet It would look awesome if you just used the right parts.

Actually that is exactly what I was going for. I wanted him to be kind of like a male Scootaloo, but tall like Celestia. With different colors to him. Also this is my first time making an OC.

Oh, I get it, it is very tall but it's still supposed to be a child, right? Now it makes perfect sense, and it doesn't look wrong at all (well, it still looks a little bizarre, but iat least it makes sense) However, Bohtty does bring a point about the colors. While they are overused, the real problem is that they are absolutes. It looks unnatural. Never use maximun or minimal shading.

 

Bohtty, two things. That cutie mark is not a modified version of Twilight's, it's a compass rose. Never heard of one? Second, if the ponies on pony generator look bad, it's because you don't know how to use it. Simple as that. But don't feel offend, I'm not very good at using it either. The pony generator requires you to have either good memory or foresight to make good ponies, which is why mine looks so bland (well, frankly, I wanted him to be bland, but I couldn't make a cool pony if I tried).

 

Finally, do you understand the concepts of a Mary Sue, "im scootaloo"? Well, the first sign to one is hair colored in a bizzare way just to be cool, specially multi-colored hair. Now, what defines bizarre hair color depends a lot on the series, but in mlp I'd say it is hair of two colors that are nowhere near to one another. Most ponies in the show have monochromatic manes, and those that do have manes with 2 or more colors tend to have close colors, such as Twilight's purple and pink mane. Rainbow Dash is an acceptable exception. So, what I'm saying is, while it's not required to make a good pony, a mane like that will make others see your OC as amateurish.

 

Finally, if you do decide to change the mane color to a more natural shade (i'm not saying change the color, just using a lighter black and a duller red), then don't forget to change the cutie mark so it doesn't have ms paint colors.

 

EDIT: Also, why does he have eyelashes? And what's 'is name?

Like I said before I have not names him yet, but I am up for any suggestions if you would like to help me name him. I am probably make a new one soon though.

Well, I'm quite thankful that it isn't alicorn princess sister to Luna + faster than rainbow dash and most magical ability in all of equestria.

I think the legs are a little too high, In my personal opinion I kind of like longer tails. I don't really have any good output on this because well... not my OC. Dx Sorry.
