Title: First oc pony design!
Post by: Elva on January 17, 2019, 06:55:05 AM: I have had a thought of a OC pony for such a long time, and actually sketched her on my calendar at work a month ago. Didn't have an eraser, so there's a few mistakes and it's a bit messy :lol:I love drawing by hand! I wanted her cutie mark to be a some kind of a succulent, I drew so many versions of it :lol: In this drawing she reminds me of a G1 pony and that's the vibe I was going for. I love her mane but wasn't able to get that vibe to the digital piece.

When I finally sat down with my drawing tablet and did the linework (its too thick & dark & looks weird) for her, I was lost with the colour scheme. I'm sure this is not her final version, I'm probably going to change the colours. The cutie mark looks a little bit too detailed, I'm going to make it simpler next time. Less leaves maybe! When drawing digitally, I draw in a style that makes me think of G3 ponies, but I think that it suits her!

Her eye colour is the same as the flowers in her mane. After drawing this first picture I've thought about making her a unicorn ^.^

But hey, now I finally have an idea of my first ever OC pony, even though she's not the final version yet ^.^

I love the subtle blush in the digital image!

I'm forever tinkering with my own OCs design, so good luck haha ^^"

It’s normal for characters to go through several iterations and development stages before the final drawing. Keep at it, and eventually the right design will come.
