'Nuther OC.

I'm not overly fond of this picture.  I made his neck too thick and long and the mane is too dark.  I'll make a better one later, probably.  I'm working on full-body illustrations of all the... er...

 

*counts*

 

Twelve to fourteen of the circus staff.  ...I'll explain about that once I have them all done and posted.

You already mentioned the neck, but I think the mane looks just fine, I love the detailed style.

 

Is Barnabas gonna be part of the troupe?

Yep! Barnabas is the ringleader/boss of the fairgrounds. Here's a list of the staff--there's a LOT of them. It's a good-sized fairground:

 

 

 

• Barnabas Kelvin (Owner of the whole rig and ringmaster to the Phoenix show. Earth pony, Male.)
• Pezuña Bronco (Groundskeeper, trims, waters, and fertilizes the plants and shrubbery around the fairgrounds and in the garden. Pegamule, Male.)
• Doc Stitchwell (Fairground medic. Unicorn, Male.)
• Mongo (Janitor, as well as general gofer and ticket seller. Pegasus, Male.)
• Taffy (Food stand owner in charge of candy. Unicorn, Female. 6 mo. pregnant.)
• Baker’s Dozen (Food stand owner in charge of baked goods. Earth pony, Male.)
• Kuchukua ‘Pichi’ Picha and Nzuri ‘Michi’ Michezo (Photographers. Michi does advertising photos and general scenery shots, and Pichi takes and sells photos of the fairground-goers. Zebras, brother (P) and sister (M.))
• Buster and Bruiser (Fairground guards. Twin pegasi, Males.)
• Rivet (Maintenance engineer. Earth pony, Female.)
• Oracle (Fortuneteller and seller of hoof-crafted odds and ends. Unicorn, Male.)
• Gravity Wells (Ferris wheel operator. Earth pony, Female.)
• Ballyhoo (Lighting operator. Pegasus, Female.)
• High Wire and Alley-Oop (Balancing act ponies. They do the first act of the warm-up show before any of the guest acts--those come before Barnabas and the phoenixes go on. Earth ponies, Male and Female.)
• Calliope Keys (The mare behind the music for the show. Unicorn, Female.)
• Shepherd (Runs the small petting zoo they have. Earth, Male.)

All in all, that's... 18. A lot, yes... but I accept the challenge!</p>

 

Also, fun fact: The Zebra's names are Swahili. Kuchukua Picha = Taking Pictures and Nzuri Michezo = Beautiful Color.

 

Also I got several of the names from carny lingo.
