Digit 321 April 27, 2014 Share April 27, 2014 First I want to apologizesory.vance for any bad grammar, spelling, format, and words that don't make sense. I am writing this on ny phone and will try to make as many corrections as I can when I get to my pc later. Now As the title states I need some help with cutie marks. In still fairly new to the fandom only.being involved for about a month. None the less I love the creativity of both the shows writers artists and everything and all I have seen from the fans just blows my mind, but even so I've been Inspired to write my own story. I have almost finished the first story with my characters and I decided to create them visually as well. Only problem is I'm not great at thinking up cutie marks. Here I would like to both give a little preview of 5 of the 6 characters I have made so far (number 6 will be added when I stop hating all my ideas for him) and hopefully get some feed back on what you think would be a good mark for each. Thanks for the time. Name:Digit Type:Unicorn Gender:Stallion Bio: Digit is the character in which much of the story will revolve around. He is a unicorn that was offered a great job at a club on the las Pegasus strip as a lead maintenance worker. He moved out from Manehatten for the job. He is quite and tends to prefer a quite night tinkering then out partying. His love is to find out how things work by taking the apart and rebuilding them. He is easy to annoy but it takes a lot for him to get angry or upset. He thinks threw the same way he fixes things by breaking the problem down and rebuilding to a solution. He is roommates with Boombox who has appointed him his new best friend. I've givin lots of thot to his cutie mark first I thot binary but soon I decided informant really make sense so I figured I'd switch it to like a puzzle piece with maybe some binary in it. Pic of him Name:Boombox Type:Pegasus Gender:Stallion Bio: Boombox is a lovable wild party pony that gets along with eeverypony. He works at the Velvet Mane night club as it's mane DJ. He loves music and generally seems kind of brainless. He lacks a lot of common sense but it is usually only because he always has head phones on and gets instructions wrong because he can't hear them. He generally can't be brought down and is always just looking for a good time. He will get angry if you are mean to his little sister, he is Digits guide, roommate and self proclaimed best friend. He usually ends up breaking things at the club for lack of paying attention or getting out of hand. I was thinking cutie mark could be a literal Boombox but then I figured I dislike that so I Thor a few others like a sound dial or even a dj booth but I'm not really sure. Name: Midnight shadow Actual name: Shimmering moon Type:Pegasus Gender:Mare Bio: Midnight is Boombox's little sister, and she has a horrible temper. She is easily annoyed and rarely jokes around. Boombox is generally embarrassing her and annoying her. She is only 2 years younger then Boombox but he acts like she is his baby sister. She puts on a dark abrasive attitude but she is actually very kind. Her real name is shimmering moon but she felt it was to girly and tell people to call her midnight. Her cute and playful side will occasionally break threw. She gets a crush on digit and usually shows that side when he pops up and the hurts Boombox when he sees it. She also works at the club as the front hosstess girl. She wants to read poetry and sing for the club at some point. She idealizes the club magician Chaos theory. I have 0 ideas on her cutie mark any ideas would be super appreciated. Name:Chaos theory Type:Earth pony Gender:Stallion Bio:Choas is the club's second biggest act and number 1 magician. He tends to be a egotistical but not usually a jerk. He always over plays his importance a bit and is actually very forgetful. He loves philys and will always do a random slight of hoof trick for them. He has a bit of the taste for being dramatic but generally won't get upset with things. He can go a little crazy when trying to come up with a new trick sometimes putting his friends in danger to learn a new trick. He is loyal to a fault to his girl friend ruby who is the club's biggest act. I've got some more work to do on chaos but for now I want his cutie mark to be something obviously to do with magicbbutni wanted to avoid the cliches like a wand or what. Any ideas again would be appreciated. Name:Ruby starlight Type:Pegasus Gender:Mare Bio: Now I had fun coming up with ruby. The idea of her came from a multitude of places. One major influence is Jessica rabbit. By this mean her part not her attitude. That being said, Ruby is the star of the club she is the singer and general reason most come to the Velvet Mane. She is kind and very sweet and loves to help anyone. Even if they don't want the help. She will At times show a completely different personality when something angers her. She is the heart of the club and she knows it but doesn't flaunt it. She thinks midnight is adorable and is always trying to get her to be more lady like. She always gets Boombox out of trouble when he screws up and is Choas's anchor to sanity at times. I want to keep working on her as well. Her cutie mark I was thinking could be like a glass of champagne but I don't know how that would work. Well those are so far my five mane characters with one more still in the works. If you read all that thank you and any ideas for their cutie marks are 100% appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panne 1,342 April 27, 2014 Share April 27, 2014 So you jsut need to come up with their cutie marks? Okay. Digit: If he likes tinkering with stuff I would suggest gears or maybe a screwdriverBoombox: Maybe just some speakers or like a record. Midnight: She likes poetry so try a quill or maybe a scroll. What about a scroll with a quill? Chaos: Cards, dice, top hat, magician stuff. OR just make it something completely random to throw people off that he is a magician because magic, in a preforming aspect, is all about diverting attention. Ruby: I'm kind of lost on her. Like she is the heart of the club, so maybe something that has to do with business? Like you could try some coins or diamonds... why not a ruby? Anyways I do like the idea of a champagne glass or maybe a martini glass. Something a hostess would have at a bar or club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh trust me getting noticed on this site takes a few major moments. For me it was getting an entire thread locked down for NSFW material and getting into a thread war with a well known member. Don't try either of those they don't end well, but you become famous very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to really get out there and make a name for yourself before people will help you at all. Seriously I've made like 5 topics on this site and so far only 1 has made it past 30 posts and one is currently staggering to its feet. The one I'm trying to get rolling is the one listed in my signature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
