Marine Ponies ~ New MLP Fan Species

[NekromantiaFox 270]

Unicorn~

 

Unicorn Ponies~

 

Unicorn Marines, like average ponies, have one magic-wielding horn. However, webbing from this horn connects it to many fins that make it's way up along the pony's back from it's hip to it's forehead directly up the middle. When in use, the magic is more concentrated and visible, resulting in an almost fire-like appearance. When using their abilities, the eyes of unicorn Marines also release magic, which generally flows off of the corners of their eyes. Unicorn Marines only specialize in one element (ice, water, fire, lightning, shadow, etc..), becoming a master of the subject. Unicorn Marines pose a unique adaption, because their hair is unable to sprout the way it does with average ponies. Instead, their hair tends to develop in more interesting manners and forms around their fins.

 

Pegasus Ponies~

 

Pegasus Marines don't actually have wings. Instead, they have somewhat dragon-like webbed fins that extend from their shoulder blades and mimic the appearance of traditional wings. They're generally the fastest swimmers around, using their "wings" to propel themselves through the water. When on land, they are unable to fly, but are capable of gliding and hovering above ground if desired. Their legs, while still more muscular and longer than that of average ponies, are somewhat weak, but still stronger than that of the general pegasi ponies because their bones aren't completely hollow. Rather than folding their wings, the fins just overlap over one another, and the webbing corresponds.

 

Earth Ponies~

 

Earth pony Marines often have the strongest legs. They generally keep to the depths of the ocean or lakes, and take up most of the duties concerning agriculture and much of the duties involving animals. In retrospect, they are very similar to average earth ponies, aside from the the addition of webbed fins and their obvious multi-colored coats. When on land, their leg strength makes them exemplary runners.

 

Alicorn Ponies~

 

Alicorn Marines are incredibly rare, and sport features from all 3 of the different Marine types. They are incredibly tall, and are known to be somewhat more expressive than the average Marine, due to the fact that, over time, alicorn Marines can develop facial fins as well, which typically close and open based upon their mood.

 

Marines as a whole~

 

All Marines sport webbed, immobile fins. Generally, these fins only sprout from the hind hooves, but on occasion can be seen on the front hooves and even the ears or flank. Marines have incredibly thin fur, and tend to be more colorful than average ponies as a result because their skin can be seen through their coats where the fluff is shortest. Their skin tones can range from the normal pink or grey, to more exotic colors such as orange or blue. On rare occasions, they can have up to three body colors, if the skin underneath is spotted in any way. Marines are normally somewhat taller and sleeker than average ponies, but come in a wide range of shapes and sizes, on rare occasions, they have even been known to be shorter than their earthly counterparts. Female marines are known to be somewhat taller than males, and have designs that generally sprout from their bottom eyelash (swirls, teardrops, anything really). Males, on the other hand, have a bulkier build and wider bodies, as well as somewhat broader faces and the addition of naturally colored hooves. Marines do not have hair. What appears to be hair is actually just thin external gill fragments that allows them to breath under water with ease, Marines that do not have large amounts of "hair" (or have no "hair" at all) tend to have gills to either side of their throats (male) or beneath the rib cage (female). Marines are unable to stay out of water for long amounts of time, because their skin is incredibly delicate and will dry out after a while. The webbing of their fins is incredibly thick and is not see-through, it can be basically any color. During rituals, such as weddings or traditional events, the Marines generally paint their fur and fins with the colors and patterns of native fish. There are both fresh water and sea water Marines. Marines are capable of interacting in different biomes, but can become sick if kept in the wrong water type for too long. Fins can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and are two-toned.

 

Marines towards other species~

 

Marines and Ponies can generally get along fairly well, but tend to clash with other species such as griffins due to rivalries over hunting grounds. Marines are entirely omnivorous, and generally tend to prefer fish over seaweed (they have fangs that are visible when the mouth is opened). Since Ponies are herbivores, this has never really been a problem. Marines and Ponies can, in fact, breed, and their offspring have a 50% chance of being a Marine or a Pony. This is the same with any other species that is capable of breeding with others.

wow, these look awesome! i really like the pegasus one, but the unicorn also looks amazing, great work on these! id like to see more of these!

[Tual 152]

I like your art-style a lot. It's VERY pretty. Also, this species is quite interesting, and very much gives off the aquatic creatures feeling.

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

You truly have pure imagination of wonder to create such creatures.

 

Not only are they one of a kind and magnificent, they are without a doubt a great fan made creature.

 

I would like one if it's ok, a pegasus of course.

 

My OC is in the link under my signature, I'll provide some references if you need some outlining.

 

As for a description:

 

 

He is very mellow and calming, despite his somewhat menacing and serious pose or emotions he shows. He tends to be wild and very active with his family members and those who he trusts. He is a helpful, supportive, and intelligent pony who wishes nothing more than to be your friend!

He does have a certain limit, but he tends to hide most emotions such as sadness, anger, and happiness as he says he is somewhat shy when expressing emotions.

Despite his race as being a pegasus, he is mildly athletic and is more intelligent for a pegasus. Most tend to question on this unique feature for a pegasus, but he says he just loves what he does!

 

 

 

Thank you.

 

PS: I tried to join your group, but it says your not accepting yet.

No no XD I don't take requests, hun, I charge for my work. I was just showing off my new species...when I said I would need a complete description, I was actually saying that, if you want one, you need to apply. As far as the group goes...well...it's my first deviantart group ^^" I just fixed that, btw, so you can go ahead and join if you like.

 

I might just be confused though..

Oh wow, thank you ^^" I'm glad to see people like my work, I don't just do ponies though, of course, but I did take quite a while fully developing my pony styles.

Oh, now I'm getting jealous here. Seriously, how do you do this? I'd love advice on what you do to make these. They're all so perfect! I truly admire your artwork!

Well I used to reference a lot, just looking and observing really helps. Not to mention that studying the art of others also helps, and knowing basic anatomy is important too. I'm heavily influenced by Kattvalk, personally.

Okay. :3 I'll try a few of those things myself then! I suppose anatomy is important too. I haven't focused on that before, but anyone that I know who has makes really great things.

Seriously? You do understand the concept of fan-created content, right?

Also, unless you actually, legally obtained copyright, don't put it here, it makes you look childish.

 

Anyway, lovely stuff.

I actually only used the rules I generally see with fan-created species, such as Zenyus and Fire Ponies. See, requiring people to use the group before making one helps me moderate how people are using them, preventing people from claiming the species as theirs and whatnot. And, actually, you should re-read the deviantart terms of service real quick, because they do have a quick excerpt on copyright material, most people don't take the time to read all of that though ^^" so I completely understand why that came up for you.

 

Anyways, yeah, you really shouldn't call people childish. The rules are placed there for a reason. Most species people create aren't even open to the general public at all, but I wanted to be lenient with the Marines, which is why I took this route. Not to mention a lot of my adoptables are free ~

Oh here :3

That's my deviantart, since I don't plan on posting everything I make on the forums, and you seem to like my artwork enough so yeah :3 Also, if you could get the word out about marines, that would be awesome. I mean it's a stretch to ask you ^^" But they need more popularity, know what I mean? I'm working on free adopts right now to see if that might help.

Sorry about the insanely late reply, I totally skipped your post on accident. But yeah, anatomy is important, it allows you to figure out where all the joints and muscle mass would be properly. Traditional MLP ponies don't take anatomy much into consideration, but it's good to know should you ever want to develop your own style or try out some more complex poses.
