"Rebel Without a Clue"

Recommended Posts

Yeah, I brought this little hoodlum back. If anyone remembers her from when I last drew her, she was a simple throwaway design, but for some reason I've taken quite a liking to her. So she's been promoted to "side-OC" status. And I got this huge urge to vector her.

Part of the reason I posted this is because I need help coming up with a name for her, because I'm absolute pants at naming. She's based on a common street punk (gee, thanks Captain Obvious) and she has a heavy Russian influence in her character (hence her cutie mark).
 
Also I posted this outside of my main drawings/vectors/stuff thread to see if it'll get more exposure that way (and also because my main thread is almost all double/triple/quadruple-posts and it was getting messy).

Maybe, name him/her sig/cig I don't really know but I don't know if I like or hate the unicorn feel like it should be a Pegasus or earth but anyways nice drawing looks super cool and well done

 

Cheers for the kind words! :)

 

I ended up naming her "Killer" for now, which is intended as an ironic name as she's not really much of a threat at all, but she pretends to be (she gave herself the name, her real name is unknown/not important) because she's silly and a wannabe gangster.

 

I made her a Unicorn mostly because I wanted her to use her magic to do graffiti, haha.

Her left foreleg and underside of left hindhoof look a bit awkward and maybe get rid off the black outlines for the white components of the cutiemark.

The spraycan turned out really good.

Also, what@, said, maybe you should ask him for help on your Red situation.

@, cheers for the compliments, mate. I don't reckon I'm a very good vector maker though, as all I do is vector screens from the show and modify them to make my characters. This one in particular was vectored off a screen of Rarity from "Green Isn't Your Colour". The only things I made were her eyes, mane, hat, and props.

 

She has a line on her neck, but it's covered by the mane and makes it look thicker than it is. I'll try to mess with it and see if I can make it less jarring, but that's as thick as it was on the Rarity screen I used.

 

Same for the legs, Rarity was standing a bit weird. Though I can easily reposition them, I rather liked the awkward little pose it gave her.

 

@@Silverwisp the Bard, the tattoo her cutie mark is based on typically has the border, but looking at it again, I reckon you're right and it would look more "in-show-style" without it, so I'll do that.

 

As for Red, that's a whole 'nother story, but suffice it to say he's going back to the shop for some more work. I'm thinking I'll just do him up a whole new uniform from scratch and change his name. Gonna scrap his original theme and instead base his look on a more 'generic' mash-up of WWI-era British and German regalia. But that's for another thread, perhaps.

I like her!  A couple name suggestions off the top of my head:

 

Rap Scallion (if she's into hip-hop)

Olivia Twist

 

I tried to come up with something Russian-sounding, but didn't have any luck.  What is her cutie mark?  Is that a throwing-star, or a compass rose?

Why not just call her Rebel? It suits her design, and it's even in the title of the thread. I thought you had named the pony Rebel until I read the actual post, but it surprised me because Rebel fits so well. Just putting in my two bits.

Yeah, I tried to think of a Russian name as well, but nothing sounded good to my ear as a name. Rap Scallion is a cute name though, I might save that for use in a future OC~

 

Her cutie mark is a very common Russian criminal tattoo. 8-pointed stars are often worn by criminals in Russia (one on each shoulder) to denote that you don't follow authority.

Oooohhh, we have a winner! Yes, I like that name a lot and I can't believe it was right in front of my face the whole time, haha. So henceforth she is named "Rebel".
