How to Make a Decent OC Pony seriously, it's not that f------ hard Step 1: Concept What sort of pony do you want to make? Ponysona: What about yourself do you want to express in the pony? Distill yourself. Are you proud of your knitting ability? Do DON' you have six dogs? Are you allergic to carnations? Make it about video ga Not Ponysona: Pick a concept. What's your pony about? Is she a shopkeeper? Does he like ducks? Is he cold all the time? Something simple. We'll be basing a lot of our choices on this shouldn't be Jack the Ripper or Rapeman In the show... Sapphire Shores is a staaaaaaaaaaar Example Let's make a pony (to help the slow ones). I think relaony in Celestia's an nephew, Applejacks I'm going to take that and expand it. Garden Pony doesn't just like gardening, she loves nature and good hard honest work. She doesn't just garden for fun, but plants good food and encourages others to get down 'n dirty too. In short, she's sort of a modem hippie, the knd that promotes eating locally and organically. Except without the annoying bits Earth, Pegasus, or Unicorn? more See what I got out of "gardening"? solid >P s are faster >Unicorns are delicate Now that you know what your pony's deal is, it's time to start thinking about what they look like. There's 5 major aspects of a pony's design Make an Alicorn and I will cut you. Body Most ponies have the same body shape. Occassionally, though we get variants.Mrs. Cake, for example, is fat because of all the cake. Big Mac is large because he is very strong and does lots of manual labor. Fleur de Lis is tall and skinny because she's like or something, I don't know If you've got a reason to change your pony's model, by all means do so. If he's strong make him bigger. If he's lazy make him fatter Garden Pony, while working outside a lot, doesn't seenm particularly strong or powerful. So she'll keep the standard body Hair Your mane and tail should probably have the same general style. Try and come up with something that fits your pony's personality. A wild pony should have crazy hair, a pretty pony should have perfectly groomed hair, etc. Ir's actually pretty hard to f--- this one up too bad, so go for it. Garden Pony spends a lot of her time workin' on s---, so she keeps her hair braided to keep it out of the way Colors Colors should be bright and saturated, or pastels. Now, I don't know too much about color theory, so l can only offer a few general White can be a lovely body color, but it's also very common. Same goes with browns and other natural shades. Don't be afraid of colorl Make a blue pony if you wantl F--- da policel -Dark colors should be used sparingly. Black almost always goes horribly, horribly wrong, so be very. careful -if you make a black and red pony, parasprites will eat your d--- off I've got a couple different color choices for Garden Pony. Since she's all about growing things, I was going t there. My first design was brown with plant. Considering how common (and kinda dull) brown bodies are, though, alsothrew down a green body with orange a yellow mane, like a flower. Now, both these color schemes fit a e more than three or four colors -make a black and red pony MAKE A BLACK AND PONY I wound up going with the brown becausemake a black and neon pony it seemed to fit the idea I have of the pony's personality better seriously, think very carefully before using black, you'll just f--- it up, man. Accessories The citizens of Ponyville don't wear much. Everybody's naked! I'm not going to teach you about pony fashion, becauseI don't f------ know how to make pony dresses But! I'm here to warn you to be sparing with accessories 've thrown a little headband/handkerchief thing onto GP here. I don't know if it'll stay, but it's an example of about as much accessorizing the average pony should get That is, NOT A LOT Less is more, f------ scenesters Special Talent Rightl Sol Time to get down to the important s--- What's your f-----' pone do? Now, your special talent can be very literal, or more abstract. It also doesnt have to be a "talent," per say. It can be a dominant personality trait or a stupid little detail. Youve got Cheerlie, whose talent is teaching. If we look at toy ponies, theres Diamond Rose, whose description tells us she "loves to get special gifts for each of her friends when she does on vacationl" That's right, her special talent is getting souveniers. You've got leeway good at animalsl Applejack does apple things! Garden Pony gard Name Your pony's name can be based off her cutie Now, your name and cutie mark are where things get difficult The cutie mark has to be related to your special talent. But don't be too literall Remember the explanation of Cheenilee's? It represents her joy about leaning or some s--- like that So dont you dare pull some s--- like putting a computer mark, her special talent, or just s--- you thinlk combination of the two butterflies and being a little p----. Cheerliee Most things work fine, as long as you're not trying to name your pony Jake or Dethmask Use a little creativityl And make it prettyl Even if you can't condense your special talent to a single picture, make Flowers are always g told you よ☆. s! She's more a vegetables than flowers. I could use a e a vegetable a literal lttle pile of dirt would theoretically work, but be kinda lame. So I'm going with a peapod For growth and s---. And, like. Friendship maybe. I dunno I think it's cute. And it's a f------ skull or something NOT THAT HARD TO DO, NIMRODS

Ok. I followed all the steps listed here, and here's what I ended up with.
Volcanodick the MEGASUS!
His special talent is being more powerful than Celestia.
He's more smarter and more magical than Twilight Sparkle.
He's more fun than Pinkie Pie.
He's shipped more than Rainbow Dash.
He's the last of his race of MEGASUSES!
He's posessed by the evil spirit of Discord's brother, but he he keeps it in check.
