Character Creation Contest!

[Bronyette 835]

Hello forum! I need someone to help me create a new character design. I would do it myself but I'm really bad at making color schemes for stallions.

This is what I want: I have a male character in mind named Aridwind. I created him a long time ago when I was into warrior cats. X3 He should have bright green eyes and a dull color scheme. He's a jerk and I would really like if you could show that in an expression or pose. I will give a more detailed post later. I want him to be an earth pony.

Strange body patterns are more than okay, they are wanted! Just as long they are natural horse/pony patterns.

What would a contest be without a prize?! I will make you a free pony commission of any pony you wish, including OC's. Also you win the prize of being a 'better' character designer than anyone else that posted.


Here is a ref of my work. :3 A drawing will be won as a prize.

I don't really know if my entries count since they're made from Pony Creator, but I'll enter them anyway.

I have three different color schemes for Aridwind, each with the original requests of dull colors and green eyes.

Hope you like them

No, pony maker images are allowed. but hand drawn get bonus points.

 

Also I like the second one, it's very drab and gloomy looking, which is what I want. Thanks for entering. :3

Okay, I understand that Pony Creator is too easy to enter a contest with.

Maybe I can try to sketch something, then I'll send that in.

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

Here's one from me. Hope you like!

I can maybe do some more variants in colour schemes tomorrow.

Awesome! I do like the drawing so far, but I want dark gloomy looking colors like dark purple, gray, sandy colors and sort of bland colors. :3 good luck! I'll add you to the list.

[LittleRawr 679]

Interesting to find another former warrior cats fan! 

 

I'll see what I can do, but I'm a bit too lazy to draw at the moment so I'll be sending you pony creator images first, then I'll try them myself if you like one of the color schemes enough.

Yeah, ponies for me is the new warrior cats. XD I had a pretty popular RP site back in 2009. It was my first taste of the internet. C: the only thing left is the webpage now, and I go back just to look at it sometimes. But I digress.

 

I'd love to see all of the color ideas people come up with, also splotches are welcome, since it would help with his backstory.

I'll keep that in mind. I can swap colours quick, but I'll have to do it later tomorrow. I'm so in though. I do love to draw me some ponies.

[Bronyette 835]

Giving this a little bump so the thread doesn't die. I hope more people can enter. I will keep this going for a while longer.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

Here's my OC. I don't know if I'll have enough time to draw her out though. I have only a little time on my hands. I'll edit this post if I do get the drawing up. But for now...

Silly, I meant create a character design for me. I can't take your character.  x3  I think I'm a bit confused.

Oh ok. Well...I'm a really good drawer. You mind if I use pony creators. I really don't have much time on my hands to get a great quality drawing. 

[Bronyette 835]

Sure you may use a pony creator, but hand drawn ponies get bonus points. :3 all of the requirements and such are above.

[Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824]

How about this one? Hopefully I didn't go overboard with anything. This is just because I don't have enough time to draw by hand. Too bad I won't get bonus points...

 

EDIT: Just read the description, won't take long for me to fix.

A drawing contest? Aniki? You're entering? Well sure why not. But you hate drawing. Oh come now, hate's a strong word... I see why you used it. Bravo.

All insanities aside, I really don't like drawing too much. But hey, I'll throw in my two bits anyways.

 

 

 

 

BLAMO, that's it. All I had. Every last bit of talent I could muster. Gone. I started with an idea in mind... and then THAT happened... yeah I don't even know.

(Oy, my ackin' hand. Time for bed.)

Woooooot~! I will add you both to the list, and don't worry. I haven't looked over anyone's submissions and honestly I like the variety here. 

[Midnight Scribbler 1,705]

OK, so Scribbler's been busy tonight. Here's a few variants, including a revised version of the original colour scheme. Hope you like!

Wow! Everyone, these are all so fantastic. >~< it's going to be so difficult to pick a winner.

Darn it. I'm going to have to pick my two most favorite. You will both get a nice little request from me. :3

Alrighty. Drum roll please~

Best Design goes to...

Aniki!

And best overall Drawing goes to...

Kenpony!

You both will get a custom drawing from me, just send me a character.

And for everyone else that joined I will make a little chibi pony of a character of your choice.
(Female characters preferred, since I'm using a base. But I could try to make a male one.)

Thanks for entering everyone! Have a nice day!

Wait, so I get a chibi pony?

I don't really know what that is but I'll take it

Here's my character: http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/tech-reel-r4456

And here's his cutie mark: http://i1021.photobucket.com/albums/af334/ReelyRandom/CutieMark_zpsc82e888d.png

Thanks

It's just a little Thank you gift, it is a teeny tiny minimalist pony~ 

 

Do you have a better ref of the mane and tail? The one I have isn't all too good to work with.

Ok cool

Unfortunately I have no other references for the mane or tail.

Sorry if this makes things more complicated for you

Is it generally spikey or curly/wavy? It's sort of hard since I can't see the tail or all of the mane, so tell me generally what his mane and tail look like.

His mane and tail are usually curly and wavy.

Sort of curved and bumpy, slightly similar to the tail and mane of Pinkie Pie, but shorter.

Hope this helps.
