Oh man... reminds me of when I commandeered the Walmart Butterfly Island display and used it as an extra pony shelf. I need one of these again

Well, now that this will be my first FS pony, I'll have to have moar -.-

ShortyBoo, your Pony is very lovely

Yurusumaji and Terra, your ponysonas are lovely! I think I'm going to do more brainstorming today in my free time, see if I can finally settle on something I like (and hope it sticks )

I wonder if Ditzy Doo (I refuse to call her Ditzy-Doo, it doesn't sound right) will be easier to snag off eBay eventually. I told myself I wasn't going to get the styling-sized ponies, and I just won a custom regular-sized Ditzy Doo on eBay (she even has bangs, which is a plus for me over the official one). Idk, the SDCC one is starting to grow on me more...

*Wait... what? The other name got censored? /: Ok...

So since I've come back to the Arena, I wanted to remake my ponysona to something that suited me more. I thought I had something I was happy with, but design after design, I wasn't ever satisfied. At first I thought I wanted something that was soft and muted, like a shade of brown or a dusky gray. That later changed to black, to go with my somewhat dark personality. Black with a goldish-mane. Something similar to my hair color, but lighter. With yellow-orange eyes (I have a fetish for characters with yellow-orange eyes >3). The cutie mark was *supposed* to be a multi-colored flame, to represent my colorful personality. Well I had that for a few days, and then I started to think that it looked a little cheap. So I tried to do something else. I really, really wanted Bebop to be a black unicorn (it has a nice ring to it), but there was nothing I could do to make it look right. I ventured into brighter hues, and ultimately decided on green, my favorite color, and specifically my favorite shade. I am fond of monochromatic color schemes (i.e., G1 Blossom), and as I also had a previous smart phone case that was the same shade (I bought two of them as I liked the color so dang much), figured green might make me satisfied.

Well then there was the issue of a cutie mark. I am a somewhat pitiful artist as of late, not to mention some of my ideas seemed to be taken (I wanted the flame idea again, but a few ponies, like Fire Cracker, has it. I also wanted a phoenix, to represent my personal rising-up-from-defeat-struggle-stuff, but it turns out, the phoenix is popular on other's personas as well. Then of course I wanted a dragon, but I am not currently artistically inclined at the moment (it comes and goes -.-))

So I was starting to fear that I was bound to be without a cutie mark. Like Baby Ember. Or Apple Bloom D;

But then of course I thought of geckos. I own two leopard geckos, and I love them. And I haven't seen any pony yet with a gecko (yet).

And I'm still a bit conflicted about it. I am a green unicorn named Bebop Groove, with a gecko cutie mark. And I don't make any sense -____________-""

(I decided to go by the name as it's only been my internet name for... 10 years now? And I figured I could make it work for ponies).

So um... yes. This is just me ranting on how frustrating this whole business was. And any opinions on it. Because I'm all designed-out now x___x

Thank you! Glad to be back
