VladmireV.S.(Crank) 1,096 June 22, 2013 Share June 22, 2013 I finally decided that I needed to make myself a OC for my feminine side Her name is Japanese for Kind & Gentle, and her cutie mark means botanist~ I feel like this is a PERFECT representation of me as a girl pony ;3 I cannot explain to you how long it took me to draw this today ;_; I had so much time on my hands today, I constantly drifted off while drawing this XD SO, here she is: 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoarinBlue 202 June 22, 2013 Share June 22, 2013 The art is excellent, although personally I would change the name to make it more in line with the naming conventions in the show. What is her color scheme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a suggestion for improving the OC. There arent any hard and fast rules for OC making, but there are some good guidelines to follow, and following the universe's naming conventions is one of them. It would be like naming a pony "Jeff". Sure, you can, but why? Edit: fixing typos because my phone is being a dick Edited June 22, 2013 by SoarinBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, you can, but why? Pony names are generally symbolic. The name fits that criteria. It's just Neighpponese and not Equestrian. It fits the Universe's naming conventions just fine.

The mark of a good OC is one that seamlessly fits into the show universe, one that could be in as a background character or minor character in the show and no one would bat an eye. The name distracts from the character by being unlike anything else you would see in the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is an example that the universe of My Little Pony is larger than Equestria, that there are equine cultures apart from it, with their own languages and names.

Zecora is not nearly as significant a departure from those naming conventions, it's still more or less in line with how characters are named, and she's also an entirely different species Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunas Husband 2,778 June 22, 2013 Share June 22, 2013 That is just great! love the name too, when I had first seen her I was like oh wow its fluttershy's sister! don't know if you where going for that kind of look but that's what she kind of looks like to me. Hope to find out more about her 1 "Does not matter what they say, my sweet love! I love you! and always will." ~Princess Luna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
