Ramblings of a tired dragon and potential Commissions for myself · 6:54am Apr 24th, 2023
I find it funny that most of my OC's are poor, unassuming people that don't want to have anything to do with the situations they get into. Let me explain this. You see while some people tend to make their OC's OP I tend to go in the opposite direction and make them losers. I have grocery store workers, broke students and people who just hate their life. To me this is more interesting than them suddenly becoming the chosen one, they are just a loser given something and they have to deal with the situation. I mean if you were somehow the princess of a country how would you react, many have different answers, for me it would to be to use that money to find solitude away from people.
Let's take Eclipse, the dragon, for example, my oldest OC, when I made him he was a bit of a Gary sue; I was 14! Now he is a humbled lower-class nerd who somehow gotten to be the princess Moonlight's tutor, mostly because the king and queen wanted her to socialize more with the people she would have to serve. He has a smaller frame than others his age, he has larger than the average wingspan that actually give him more thrust to weight than others in his age group, so he is one of the fastest in his age bracket, not the fastest that goes to Scarlet who whole family is basically built for speed, though his stamina needs to be worked on. This character has nothing to do with MLP because he was made before I even got into the fandom.
Now on to my MLP OC; a light blue furred, white manned and magenta eyed pegasus, who didn't have a name until just a few months ago, well she did but had to change it because the original was Sunny Days, Celestia's alter ego. Now named Windshear, she has the backstory of being born in Cloudsdale and moved to Canterlot to be a part of their weather team but failed so she now works at a cafe trying to make a living. She just shows up for cameos from time to time now, with name drops or small appearances that won't intrude on the story. Fun fact she was first created in fallout 4 as my go to character design in that game, she was technically a recolored Rainbow Dash, I know so original but it was the best I could do at the time.
Their stories if you go by the first versions were pretty trash not gonna lie. One was basically a time traveling god and the other was a god in the fallout Equestria universe. I have done a complete 180 on how I build characters now. I was building a character for DnD and I made a pretty boring backstory of him being a priest at a church now he goes around preaching and healing others. very simple. I have another character who is the bird race that is a rogue that got into stealing because her family is completely broke. She isn't very good, but she scrapes by just barely and somehow lives to tell the tale.
I don't really know what I trying to say honestly, I'm bored and thinking of some of my old characters and toning them down a bit to be a bit more normal. I think what I'm trying to say that we all improve in little ways.
Anyway, I actually looking to commission a few things, 2 things to be exact.
1: a new profile picture to replace the old one.
2: a story cover for a new story that might come out idk yet, but I'd rather have it than not, mostly to test commissioning
So, if any pony who even reads this know who or how to get some of these commissions, I would greatly appreciate it.
-Eclipse
-P.S. When I'm bored, I tend to write things, some of them actually turn into stories or just hot messes. Kinda what I'm doing now.
