Drawfriend Stuff: OC Ponies Edition #4

Oc ponies?! That's a downright travesty! 

But seriously, some of these are pretty cool.  As long as we don't end up with a bunch of Sonichu's, we should be good right?

...right? 

Have some nonsense! If OC ponies aren't your thing, I'll have another draw friend up tomorrow for you! People seemed to enjoy the first "real" oc pony compilation though. 

As always.. DO NOT SEND ME YOUR OC PONIES

Anyway, enjoy!

Source 2
Crossover?  Or OC?!


Source 3 need
I have no clue what is going on in this image but those dice make me want to play some paranoia.

Source 4
Actually I think most of these are crossovers, but I can't tell the difference sometimes.


Source 5

I don't know if these are socks, but shes wearing them

Source 7

Source 8

Poor rarity... The truth comes out I suppose. 

Source 17

Source 18
And then all of these came from the same artist apparently.

Better designs than the last batch I must say but still why the Long feline like tails on ponies? it doesn't make any sense

FlutterSky said...

Don't they all look so special and unique, and perfect, and unnatural?

This edition is much better than the last batch. Pretty great drawings here :) I never did a full body art of my OC/Ponysona, well except when I submitted that unfinished drawing to the NATGs. It's 2 in the morning here, no way I'm doing it now!

Roman500 said...

I seem to forget sometimes that OCs can be cool too.

Seriously, like half of these are from Ellis.

PonyPonyPonyBrony said...

Awr...7 is so sad. *weep*

ZAquanimus said...

half of these are from elliss xD
and old XD

OmegaPony11 said...

I think I asked this before, maybe in chat, but I have to ask again, whats with the...negativity on OC ponies? I mean, none of these are all powerful Alicorns, and sure they are unique in some ways, but so are people.

Folks are having fun with OC ponies, and I just see the entire MLP universe as if it was made for this. I mean, on the most basic level, its colour of coat, of mane, and a cutie mark.

Is the fear for Mary Sues so prevalent?

Anonymous said...

i dont mind OCs but you should know seth #15 is one of the most hated OCs in the fandom. dont post his shit here.

jenovaii said...

Seth, if no one sends you these, how are you finding them?

Anonymous said...

@jenovaii He does it on his own and what people hate seeing is bad choices in color scheme. Shipping with cast members and Bad design. These here however are a decent example of how to do them

Bosstone said...

@OmegaPony11

So far as I can tell, some people believe that a fandom should just appreciate the show itself; original content (characters or fiction) is gauche as it implicitly makes the fan who created it the focus, not the show.

I mean, theoretically, if you look at the show, background ponies are pretty simple and similar in appearance. Someone who creates an OC pony that has any more character beyond body color, hair color, one of five predetermined hair styles, and a cutie mark, is to their mind implying that their OC is as special and unique as one of the main ponies.

Of course, that then ignores the weird one-offs like Photo Finish, Hoity Toity, and Sapphire Shores.

TLDR yes, it's fear of Mary Sues.

ProfesorRod said...

Sonichu... ugh *shivers*

Don't ever mention that creepy name again.

Rainbow Dash said...

Wow, Sunny Sky looks like she could be my twin or something...

Anonymous said...

@Rainbow Dash I don't see it

Derpy Hooves said...

Lots of real cute and fun ones in this edition. "I love fun things!" :D

A Vulture with a Tophat said...

I dont understand all the hat towards OCs. Hatters gonna hat I guess

Anonymous said...

...SIGH.

Sunny days and Citrus Sweetheart aren't 'oc'.

Snow Flurry said...

I think #2 is a crossover with the Alice in Wonderland video game on the DS. The Cheshire Cat has a similar color scheme and markings.

Anonymous said...

@ProfesorRod

Can I say Rosechu though?

Anonymous said...

16. Would like to see how the Donkeys or Mules would be Represented on the show. Especially, after her saying, "But, Mules are Ugly." ;D

pixelkitties said...

Holy Butt Cats! Paleontologist Pony is now my favorite pony of all time!

Well, except for Trixie, naturally.

A1CZERO said...

@Bosstone
And there are lost of them unfortunately.
I like seeing OC ponies. It's like everypony's way of including yourself in the awesome pony world.

But some things I just can't stand...
All powerful Alicorns.
Pitch black OCs.(unless done with a lighter outline like #17 which makes it a little more bearable)
Shipping with Mane cast.(Seriously?)(#15 makes Dashie seem like some poor mare that needs rescuing AAARG)
Crazy body parts like antlers or strange tail like in #2.(this one less so than the others but still irks me)

These are all just personal opinion so feel free to do what you want.

Hexamus said...

I think it's just hard to appreciate OCs since we won't be familiar with them as the artist/writer will be, therefore won't see them in the same light. I do, however, wish there were more OCs being shown. I'd rather not see them overpower the main cast but would be nice to see them once in a while.

Anonymous said...

>>as long as we don't go as far as Sonichu
>>features Skywind (in http://ellispony.deviantart.com/art/Gala-Giggles-Commission-217578705), an OC most popularly known for his anti-lesbian rants about the show and his subsequent shipping of himself with Rainbow Dash

Welp, you're fucked.

Sunny Days is definitely from Last Man Standing. I would approve if it weren't for the rainbow bracelet thing.

Tekaramity said...

#5!!! Sunny Spring!!! Frosty's art!!!

Seth, you have, without prior knowledge of this occurring, absolutely made my day - and the days of two of my closest and dearest friends.

Pups, I'm *so* thrilled that Sunny Spring got featured on EqDaily! Frost, I'm *so* thrilled that your birthday drawing of her was the chosen feature! Both of you rock so much. ^_^

@Rainbow Dash

#19 looks like she could be YOUR DAUGHTER. XD

3 and 6 are drawings of the same OC from crazy Russsian text - based pony-RPG on 2ch.so. Krazy Korean Random God made us eat two parasprites (they actually tasted quite good).

I love Ellis edition! Her art rocks!
9 of the images are from Ellis, most are commissions. the one with Pinkie Pie's mom was made before that episode.

Applebloom said...

Was there a post anytime recently saying to send these in? o.0

crazyredemu said...

Also #19, that is Dash's daughter, it's also is a revised 80s pony.

Star Gazer said...

I'm liking the hippy ponies lol...

Star Whistle said...

@Hexamus

This. There's little point in showing us a picture of an OC that we're never going to meet. We need a story (text, comic, image series, whatever) that introduces us to your character if we're going to care about that character.

Anonymous said...

Sunny days looks awesome. OC pony drawers, take the following hints:
-Find colours that work for your pony. Colour wheel theory helps. For example, don't have a pony with a red mane and bright green coat or vice versa. It'll look terrible.

- Multi coloured manes = very good. Multi coloured coats = that poor pony has some kind of rare skin disorder (excluding zecora but she's a zebra not a pony).

Remember these 2 points and you'll do the world a favour.

Bunnyfriend said...

Wait a second: there's actually a "Sonichu" OC pony? o_0

OK, I'm done... Last one turn off the light, please =/

Anonymous said...

So many OCs have "artist" as their cutie mark.

Which basically makes them Toola-Roola.

Vyuun said...

#21 was impressive.

Kelleth said...

Nice OC ponies. To bad I can't draw for s#$@ otherwise I would have done so already :\

Anonymous said...

Tip 1: If any one of the mane cast have more personality than you do in real life, probably should work on that before trying to make interesting characters.

Tip 2: Any one of the background ponies have more personality than you do. Please at least learn something about design before you vomit this garbage at us. Read a book. It's not hard.

cameronstalker said...

Much better batch than the last lot. Still alot of outrageous colour designs though which really irritate me and scream of sueism.

One colour for the mane/tail and another for the coat. That is all you need. That and more Earth Ponies.

What the hell are you on about? Where you raped by an OC pony or something?

Unbelievably uplifting edition! SERIOUSLY need RD to do another sonic rainboom to fuel the colors these artists just used up!!!!!

>sonichu...o boy

Anonymous said...

What is this sonichu i keep hearing about?

Ellis said...

I would like to point out that 12, 14, 15, and 17 were commissions and credit to the OC's designs should go to their creators. Also in response to the images showing Pinkie Pie and Applejack's mothers. These were done prior to the episode revealing Pinkie Pie's parents.

:) As far as OC's go? I have quite a few as can be seen here, though they were created as an attempt to expand the family's of the original 6 main characters. Also, 19 should not be consider an OC, as she is a g4 representation of a g1 pony Sky Dancer.

Have a nice day :)

Nope. Just don't think the internet needs more boring adolescent wish fulfillment fantasies, and you don't even need narratives to be able to tell that that's what 90% of these are.

Getting someone to edit your stuff before you go public with it isn't hard. A lot of people will even do it for free - just show it to someone, and that reflexive look of revulsion will tell you everything you need to know.

There are some really good designs here, especially #1, #2 and #8

Nice to see some OCs getting more love

Whoa. Giant picture of Tobiana. That's the last thing I expected to see on EqD. =3 The pinto at the top is mine (drawn by Ellis). =3 Glad she got some attention!! ^_^

I'm going to call this the, "Wow I actually ended up saving most of these" edition.

....and by "most," I mean "three."


Which actually isn't anywhere near the majority. Ah well.

Why do people call them OCs, when actually, they're fancharacters?
