Title: A dance among stars (New oc, name suggestions?)
Post by: Hannah66665 on October 14, 2021, 04:16:16 AM
Earlier this month, I bought a custom character design by Librho on deviantart (https://www.deviantart.com/librho) from an epic base of theirs: link (https://www.deviantart.com/librho/art/open-flatsale-adopts-last-batch-891402914)

It looks to be half lion half unicorn and I fell in love. They were epic to work with. I sent them photos of MoonDreamers toys to explain the kind of themes I wanted and together we came up with this sweetie:

Spoiler
This was the final piece by the designer. So this one isn't my art.

The result kind of reminds me of Kingsley the lion. Kingsley is one of my favs, so I love that!  :lol: I still haven't decided on a name or gender for my new character though.

Anyway, I absolutely had to draw them! I referenced official artwork of 80's My Little Pony and Moondreamers. I really wanted to get that 'look' down and I think I succeeded.

I'm really happy with how this turned out. I actually feel like I did them justice.  :heart:

As I said before, not sure on what their name is or if they're gonna be a boy or girl.

I really want to get a good name. Either a one word name, or two words like many ponies have. I'm going to ask around in a couple of communities in case anyone has ideas!  ^.^ Thank you for looking, and for reading~ I needed to gush about them haha. I would love to get a model or custom made IRL someday.

Aw, they're so cute! I love the big floofy tail! Definitely reminds me of Moondreamers. Your work is so crisp :wow:

Names, hmm. Stelleo, a combo of stella and leo. That's all I can think of at the moment :lol:

That's so sweet!! I would look at the names of the stars in the Leo constellation: Regulus, Algieba...

Wow, really gorgeous and cute.  :good:
It really comes to mind the 80s official My Little Pony and Moondreamers art!  :ohyeah:

I also support the name: Regulus!  :heart:
( Wikipedia says: The name of the star is Latin and means ‘little king’. )

I'm not very good at names but you should keep them gender neutral
that'd be fun  :accomplished:

They are GORGEOUS, you nailed the dreamy style! I believe this character is actually a kirin though, which is a Chinese unicorn :heart:
