TBH, I used to photocopy the G3 colouring books and play around with colours on those, and that's how I came up with FadedIvy originally. She's my favourite shade of blue, with purple hair, to match my very first pony. Then I picked something I felt an affinity to as a symbol. Ivy covering her like an old wall, like it hides the real her, like I have most of my life. Ivy is also said to signify femininity and loyalty, both traits I identify strongly with in my true personality, but not necessarily the side of myself I show the world. She's an outward representation of the inner me. I also adore TAFs, so she was perfect. No two pictures of FadedIvy have the same ivy placement, I like to let artists draw her as they want to, (even TAF optional) as ivy is always growing and changing, and so is my life and my emotions. I love every picture of her being so different! Just play around and have fun. Your ponysona can change, and you can have more than one, too! Just as long as you're happy, that's all that matters!visitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or login visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Ponysonas are really fun, I made my first one pretty quickly after I registered to a FiM-forum, in 2012. I got carried away a bit and it became a powerful Alicorn who travels in space. Her name was "Princess Comet". As you can guess, she used her magic to be a pretty comet in the sky. It was supposed to be me, but boi, it was too overpowered. I was 13.I asked a couple of people to draw her. Look at those drawings, they are amazing. I love them.Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginvisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd then, in late april, I drew that one of Comet, too. ^^ I was 14.Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginSo yeah, I had her for some months (March-August 2012) and then, I calmed myself down an decided to change my ponysona, make it a bit more regular and drew it.Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginAugust 2012And since then, I tweaked her a bit when I felt necessary. Just because my own tastes changed or because I evolved drastically. Since it is my ponysona, I make her evolve along myself.Spoilervisitors can't see pics , please register or loginJune 2013, changed her mane colorvisitors can't see pics , please register or login On August 2013, she went from purple eyes to a green right eye and a teal left eye.visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAugust 2016, long mane like I did. I went in some sort of depression and isolation from july 2014 to september 2016. This is me, being nostalgic of some good times I had before and also still grieving my precious cat who brutally passed away. Now I 100% moved on from that sad period. visitors can't see pics , please register or loginAnd now - 2017 -, I'm 19. I don't draw that often anymore, but my pony changed again. She got a new hair cut, is joyful and her eye color changed again, her previous green eye is now a lapis-lazuli blue. So yeah, in conclusion, a ponysona is a reflection of yourself. But you can do whatever you want really. It's up to you and your creativity. =)Have a nice day !
I struggled with making pony forms for my main persona Koudo who is a dragon and still have never settled on one but I think when I finally decided to make my pony persona, Cavy, it just kinda clicked. The white coat and reddish orange mane are in tribute to my guinea pig Atomic Fireball who was a red and white guinea pig. Her name is Cavy because that is the other word for guinea pig. Her eyes are green because mine are and I love green eyes. Her mark is a black guinea pig because like me she has an affinity for guinea pigs and unlike me she can also communicate with them. I also love black animals. At first she was just a unicorn, then I gave her wings because Koudo is a dragon and has both wings and horns also and Cavy is supposed to be me in the pony world. Cavy can be seen in my sig^^
Thank you very much^^ I'm a cat person myself also now. Have two gorgeous girls. For yourself, maybe think about what you yourself have an affinity for and maybe your favorite colors and start brainstorming from there for making a pony persona.

Im a character concept artist but I dont necessarily want a drawing related cutie mark. Maybe some sort of symbol or flower?

A single flower, but the stem has a nib at the end, instead of an angled cut. That would be awesome, and could be really subtle, depending on how you drew it.
Witch - I really like your pony, I think it's really nice. Hope it suits you well. =)
So is the one in your icon your pony persona then? I really like her colors and how glittery she looks
