nekotamer92 3 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 (edited) Hello everypony I would like some help naming my OC, if you don't mind, because I am horrible with name. He is a work in progress right now because of the help you ponies have given me has been very helpful and while I may have liked the character design I wasn't thinking about the entire story when making him. The pony who helped me realize this the most was Megamare who was just very blunt with me and I appreciate that a lot because I need to be told things like they are from time to time and she did just that so I am currently working on a new pony in the meantime. Sorry for wasting your time ponies. Edited March 14, 2013 by nekotamer92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Silver Essence~ 2,625 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 Hi Nekotamer! Very intriguing OC you got there, anyways, if you need a name, I guess the best name I can come up with is... Racing stripes! Yeah, that sounds good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Kennedy 1,228 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 (edited) For some reason he gives me a hippie kind of vibe, so maybe Mellow Breeze? The breeze part being because he's a pegasus (or half-pegasus, whatever) Oh, and I really like his design, even though it's not my style at all.

Revolver Bobcat 45 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 MY EYES!11!!!!1"1213!!!'???!!!!1 But seriously, the color match is not...good. In my opinion. If you should go with that color scheme i would suggest you to go with the pastel equivalents of green and violet(or is it purple? i always confuse those...), those right know are kinda...off. As for the name... how about calm wave? that kinda sounds like what you want. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekotamer92 3 March 13, 2013 Author Share March 13, 2013 Thank you for all for the suggestions they are helpful, you know what they say everypony sees something different and I want to get a few more suggestions before any final decision is made. I'm eccentric IRL so I guess that explains why I made my OC the way that he is, that and that chartreuse(very vibrant green, do not paint walls with it glows in the dark) and purple are my favorite colors.

HunterTSN 1,444 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 Not really sure I could come up with a name for such a 'creative' character off the top of my head, at least not without knowing a little more of his backstory. It's strange though, from what you told us his appearance seems to be the exact opposite of his personality, it's a tad conflicting don't you think? Your very own Victorian-styling, airship-flying, super-sizing, brass-lining, quick-drying, detoxifying, low-pricing, newbie-knifing, over-driving, sometimes-hiding, unsurprising, ninja-fighting, perfect-timing, always-smiling, never-lying, best at writing, also rhyming automaton!

I can see where you are coming from with that but always remember to never judge a book by it's cover and thank you for using creative instead of weird. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbj 190 March 13, 2013 Share March 13, 2013 (edited) I like your OC he's very unique looking. How about "Spa Treatment" since he works at a spa and helps others with their problems.

nekotamer92 3 March 14, 2013 Author Share March 14, 2013 (edited) I hate to be blunt here, but... I think what everypony is trying to say is that it doesn't look very... show-like. For one thing, it hurts the eyes quite a bit. You might want to turn drown the saturation. Another? Green and purple don't go together very well. Why don't you choose green and blue or green and yellow? I would re-consider your character. Sometimes it's best to have a character that fits in with the show rather than stands out. I prefer people be blunt with me about things, thank you for helping me realize that I put my likes ahead of the pony I was creating. I need to think about the whole package when creating a look for a personality and thats what I intend to do.

nekotamer92 3 March 14, 2013 Author Share March 14, 2013 (edited) Okay here we go again. I hope this one works better same story line, he works for the spa ponies Lotus Blossom and Aloe by helping the customers relax and he has a Lotus Blossom cutie mark. I tried to use soothing colors but I am having some troubles getting the right colors so some help in that aspect would help me a lot.

Revolver Bobcat 45 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 Huh... that a lot better for the eyes actually, too bad the stripes were sacrificed in the process. I would still go with Calm Wave but here are some others: Relaxing breeze/wind Soothing breeze/wind Something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekotamer92 3 March 14, 2013 Author Share March 14, 2013 Huh... that a lot better for the eyes actually, too bad the stripes were sacrificed in the process. Yeah I do miss the stripes but it was hard for me to do stripes and not go with crazy colors so I chose to be more respectful of the character and do away with them. I'm glad you like this color better it was hard to figure out the right one and I'm still not sure about it. I just want to see if anypony out there watching this thread thinks that Calming Breeze is a good name for my OC. I am still open to suggestions if anypony thinks they have a better name but I thinks it goes well when I look at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you like this color better it was hard to figure out the right one and I'm still not sure about it. Have you tried with other shades of blue? like a little darker or lighter blue for the stripes? And as for the colors, these are fine in my opinion, the issue i had with the old desing was in how odd the colors looked, if they were more like in the show (You know, pastel green and violet) it COULD have worked... maybe... You should hear more opinions besides mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should hear more opinions besides mine. I might go try and see if I can't incorporate the stripes with a blue somewhere in the middle between mane and body. I would like as many opinions as I can get and every opinion matters to me because I came to all of you for help and every word you say about him, praising or criticizing, helps us grow a little more. I tried to lower the vibrancy of the colors but it never quite looked right when I tried, so that is why I made him this color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Kennedy 1,228 March 14, 2013 Share March 14, 2013 I legitimately liked the first design, and I actually thought it worked for his personality as well, but then, I feel the same way about the new design. I still suggest Mellow Breeze, or something with mellow in it anyway. 1 Real men don't need signatures... or legitimate usernames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekotamer92 3 March 18, 2013 Author Share March 18, 2013 Sorry for not posting sooner, but I was busy all St. Patrick's weekend. I have decided that my OC will be called Relaxing River. Thank you all for your help and criticism it has helped me out a lot. Just wondering, how do I close a thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
