Initial OC Design · 6:50am Jan 31st, 2018
Hi, guys! Requiem here! This seems kind of like it came out of nowhere, right? Or it might not. I don't know.
I felt like I needed some kind of magical horse-like persona while I'm on this site, even though my only contribution so far doesn't even actually have any magic horses in it... unless Sunset counts. Planning to change that with the next thing I do (which may or may not just happen before the next update on What Lies Within).
Anyway, here's the initial design... or, mostly the initial design. Eyes and magic color were originally kind of a sky blue but I decided to swap to more of an amber/golden color instead. I wonder why that is.
If he looks like another OC that's already around, then... oops? I didn't actually do any looking around for inspiration, I just sort of... started drawing. I might change that darker purple to a lighter color. It seems a bit dark now that I'm looking at it. Hair's only gray because I was originally going for blue but then it, uh. Felt very "Twilight" when I tried that out. I wish I understood color theory better so I could more easily design an aesthetically pleasing pony akin to the feel of the show -- but alas, I'm no art student. Tried it out, though. Wasn't for me.
Anyway; that's all I have today. Don't want to keep rambling. Later!
