One of my favorite OC's (Cloud Burst) is a Pegasus because she was actually made from a cloud with Celestia and Luna's magic to me it just made sense to make her a Pegasus ^^
my main oc is an earth pony named Yami Shibai (also Ghost Story technically as a name)who lives in my original town of Uma (Japanese for horse) and she was mainly created from my fascination with Japanese culture and storytelling, as well as mixing my love for the horror genre without being to graphic and almost in a dark humor kinda way. She also either can interact directly with other co's of mine to hear myths, legends, or just personal ghost stories from child hood, or one of my oc's could be a character in their story. Also one of the newer Oc's in one of her stories is a Piebald deer that has some powers to control and create snow because of her deep connection to where she comes from and snow spirits, but with her power she unknowingly awakes a dark spirit ^-^ (anything beyond that is spoilery :D) also I like your energy in the video and personally I like faster paced videos that can get their point across, but some parts can feel a bit rushed, but for me I'm not complaining to much.
You inspired me to make an oc that isn't a horse. I'm still in the process of designing it at the moment (because I can't draw) but I know that it's going to be a llama.
after a while I finnaly came with an idea for an O.C Race: windika (also known as the wendigo)the windika has a head shaped like the skull of a stag, other features include, a large but hard to notice mane around the shoulders and neck and skeletal like hands and claws unique features:one broken antler, wolf hide as a coat (often used as a sign of power) and red fur at his mane personality: occasionaly violent, greedy, can be cheerful, doesnt mind being lonely and ignores any negativity towards him I am still finnishing off his backstory, but I will reply to this comment with his backstory in it
I went with my thestral/deer purely for visual reasons. I liked the thestral eyes and ear tufts, as well as the freedom of colour, but I'd always loved how antlers looked. That ended up contributing to the character and helping me express my own personality; he's visibly a half breed. I am visibly in between two categories as well. True, it does make the character design a little busy; there's a lot of special details and I'm sure that if I were to show my OC, he'd look like an attention plea because he's got so much going on (slit pupils, ear tufts, sharp teeth, freckles, weird colours, cloven hooves, antlers), but I wouldn't sacrifice a single detail. I already gave up something huge when I decided to leave the bat wings off of him; they're not getting my antlers!
great work once again, and i really like your reindeer oc. theres lots of reindeer here in scotland too. theyre awesome. :) my keyboard is broken so im using the touch screen one. it sucks. lol
***** Bro u talkin smack about my homeland? My ancestors were from there and they were pretty damn close to the king. {Y'know before we got exiled, congratulations relative-I-don't-know-the-name-of! Going to a catholic wedding while everyone is protestant, way to LOOSE YOUR HEAD. LITERALLY.} And Maddie is actually a really good TH-camr. NO. A fantastic one. I love her scottish accent and her drawing skill is amazing. And I just ranted on a website... Go me :D I love Scotland and the scenery there is beautiful and I have never seen a wild deer there, intact I've never seen a wild deer in my life. you're lucky you saw one. PLUS. as bambi's friend bumper would say {YAY deer reference :D} "If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all." Maybe you should take the rabbits advice Belle.
***** What part of "exiled" and "ancestors" do you not get? I don't live there I visit there every so often. I live in Ireland so I'm pretty close. And "bro" is a figure of speech. I'm not about to fight over where my family was from and where they are now and how much of an idiot you are. Go get a life instead of making mean remarks on people's comments because you don't have a permit to be mean on the internet, no one does. So stop being a *troll* and go easter egg hunting or something.
My non pony oc idea: Name: Emily Type: Pheonix Gender: female Personality: always happy, lazy, smart, forgetful, creative, immature, & a perfectionist Backstory: Emily's family was very strict to tradition. They make sure that it was always kept up. But, Emily hated her family's tradition. She wished that she could live with the ponies, who had a simpler one. One night, Emily dreamt that a pony talked to her. The pony whispered, "your destiny is being with ponies. Go there, you parents will understand." The next day, Emily's parents talked to her. "Emily", they said. "Maybe we are too strict to our tradition. We know that you'd prefer to live with the ponies, so we allow you to leave. You can also visit us for about once a week." Emily decided to go to live with the ponies, and every month she would visit her parents. Please tell me if my oc sounds cool! 😊😊😊
vira ramadhani That sounds so Awesome it reminds me a little bit of the Backstory for my OC his destiny is to become King of the Dinosaurs but to also be with the Ponies
I personally think its a wonderful idea. Its like Tyandaga. There aren't any deer OC's and there aren't any phoenix Oc's. The backstory seems a lot more interesting than mine.
Thanks so much for this video, Tyandaga. My OC is a cow, obviously, and I thought my OC was a little too standoffish to make a branding name or a channel off of it (as I'm thinking of making an analysis channel.) But seeing ponies like you and MadMunchkin, I see that it's pretty cool to have a unique pony design and I'll definitely make videos like this in the future! ^^
I'm thinking of starting a TH-cam channel, and-... I ended up going with a BatPony. I haven't seen a BatPony OC before and while it seems cheesy and "Edgy" I actually have a very close connection with bats. They're nocturnal, which is always nice, but also they're the animals my mom actively works to defend, and I often get to see a bat, considering that my cat often catches them. And I actually think I did a pretty good job representing both me, but also the typical batpony in the design.
Well, I kinda dropped my OC's old back story because it seemed Mary suish during the time, so I guess I'll just tell the story of how I created my OC two years ago. My current boyfriend and I had been trying to think of OC's for ourselves, but we decided to give each other the names of our OC. The Sapphire comes from it being my birthstone and my favorite jewel. The Heart comes from my supposedly caring and passionate personality. The song comes from my personal life where people had been telling me since I was a kid "You should join choir!" (which I finally did for my last year of high school, aka now.) I had tried giving her a back story of how she was a canterlot pony who was pressured to be the next big celebrity by her parents, and the fact that she eventually gets an amulet that can change herself into a unicorn or an earth pony for one hour (she can also turn into a crystal pony to double her strength and magic, but I'd have to cut the time in half) but she can not turn into an alicorn. She already has Princessy Pegasus wings. (Mostly because I hate regular Pegasus wings) But I felt sorry for the Pegasus species during the time and didn't know they were the most popular during the time, so I went with Pegasus. If I could go back in time, I'd change my OC into an earth pony (or unicorn)
Some Jammer um well it's a fake warrior but my real one doesn't she just is a black cat with bright blue eyes but MY OWN SERIES SIMILAR TO THE WARRIORS SHE DOSE AND NO THEY R NOT LIKE Pegasus WINGS MY SERIES IS NOT REALISTIC
I started off with a Pegasus oc then I watched the episode with discord and realized how unique discord was. the dragoniquis stood out to me because of the many different parts of him, showing me what mericles life could create and the wonders of life itself.
I'm gonna leave two comments or two in one. my official of that is based of me is an earth pony. she is a light yellow because I didn't want a tan pony because that would look ackward. then she has long brown mane with a curl at the end because my hair is kinda wavy but I didn't want to go all princess style. plain brown, no other color got it? good. she has brown eyes because I have brown eyes and she has glasses but doesn't wear them often only when she is doing her special talent. drawing and writing. yea she is boring but hey at least she isn't a pony who has a aful problem and magic just shoots out of her causing chaos. now to my still getting planed of she is a changling. oh my! her back leg is black with holes like a changling but is just an ordinary pony. still working on it.....
Originally my OC didn't have much thought put into him, but as time went on I gradually began adding more and more bits to him to make him more unique and more of a reflection of myself in both appearance and personality. Appearance wise I originally was going to use something like Spitfire's mane style, but have since changed it to a more bushy style since people have always commented about my bushy hair in real life. Next I originally planned to make my OC a unicorn, but many people said they thought I should be a Pegasus and overtime I really warmed up to the idea. Lastly was his color scheme, I originally only intended to choose a color based on appearance but once again through many people's comments i eventually settled on a dark blue color, since in real life people describe as someone with an aura of mystery, someone who always seems to have something on his mind, and I thought a dark blue color would best reflect that.
You choosing a reindeer and not something most people choose inspired me! I only get one shot at an oc. I can't really change it later on. I almost nearly went with a Pegasus. But than I wanted to choose something different. So I decided to go with a fox! It's going along pretty well so far. I'm going to have to change my icon...
My oc is an alicorn. YES I KNOW BRING ME YOUR HATE. I make it have peppermint colors and started to call it peppermint lightning. But that didn't suit it well so I called it Lightning Speed. I was just looking through some mlp stuff until I saw a pegasus with the same coloring but the make was brown and yellow in streaks. I took that idea and made my oc like that. But then I like the other Oc Killer Beats. Thats when instead of brow I change the mane to black with highlighted yellow hair , that has killer beats bangs and rainbow dash's back hair. The cuitemark now Is a thunderbolt with no cloud. Also I actually have Crystal Pony eyes. Ta-Da!
I really like your OC and design choice, and it's always cool when the OC is based off of your country ^^ Really shows your pride! I know unicorns are one of the more popular choices, and I don't like the fact that I may get swept under the rug because my OC is not very unique, but I honestly can't picture her being any other species or race. The other pony races just doesn't mesh with my personality, and other species I just can't picture, oddly enough. I can usually picture various different styles for one character, but because Auria is based almost solely off myself, for once, I just have a hard time picturing her as, let's say a hippogriff, or (something I haven't seen yet) a giraffe. It just doesn't seem right to me. I chose a unicorn because unicorns have been shown to be extremely creative and artsy, and that describes me perfectly. I want to be an earth pony or some other species because I'm usually the odd one out, anyways, but I honestly can't picture Auria as anything but a unicorn. Ah, well, I'll make her stand out amongst other unicorns more ^w^
Auria_Autumn Well it's good that you're going for a more practical approach that fits you! The last thing I intended was to pressure people into making random oc's like fish or elephants or something xD. It's good that you chose unicorn, because it seems to fit your personality the best :3
Tyandaga I don't think you pressured anyone ^^ That's just something I tend to think about often: Should I keep her a unicorn, or make her something else? If anything, I'm pressuring myself XD
I made a hybrid oc, as I originally had a pony and dragon. I mixed them together "ponies name, Sion." and dragons name. "Draco" and I mashed them to Siondrago. yet, i also added a bit of lion to him, as my favourite game is Final fantasy 8. Squall Leonheart has a big lion thing.
Originally I was going to be a creepypasta reading channel called PoeticMotherPasta, so the character was gonna be an earth pony based on the traditional ghost/creepy look, black hair and eyes with pale white skin, or in this case, a white blank-flanked pelt. But though I liked the idea of being a creepypasta reader, I realised it wasn't for me simply because I hate reading, I can't read one line without stuttering and I'm very monotone. So instead of an earth pony, I decided to rack my brain and think about possible different cultures within the mlp universe, and sure enough, one of the things that came to mind was a chocobo. (They are a pain to draw ugh) Chocobos have been a big part of my life since I grew up on Final Fantasy, to the point where I tried to incorporate them into everything mlp because of their cutesy style. Plus honestly Chocobos were under-rated in every perspective, but I wanted to view myself as different in the fandom since when I do make analysis videos for my channel, it wont be reviewing MLP, but rather coming up with theories for the show and community itself based on mythology, something people don't do that often. Kinda matches my creature when I think about it.
It took me a while, but I ended up choosing a deer. Interestingly, it was long before I found this channel. I was excited to find another Deerish OC! Mine has bright colors, a good backstory (I hope) and a personality that reflects my own. Boom. That's my OC. Deal with it.
I made my OC a pegasus, but she actually has a lot of diffrent features then normal OC's do. I litarly spent 2 hours righting down her back story, and it took me 45 minutes to draw in all her unique features. I wanted to make her special, do to the number of pegasus OC's.
Now I am new to your channel, so I don't know your characters capabilities yet, but the perk I guess of choosing a Reindeer.. is that technically you could still have a character that can fly. ;) I chose a pegasus, but that's because I have an absolute LOVE for flying and the idea of having wings any way, long before I started watching MLP so it seemed a given that I would choose a pegasus. :) Though a Unicorn did cross my mind at some point for the perks of magical abilities. Even though technically with magic, I could still have the ability of flight if my character specialised in it. (Plus now with Season 5 we also now know that it is quite possible for a Unicorn to actually accomplish this) But.. I don't know I have always loved the visual appeal of a pair of unfurled wings. So pegasus it was. :D But I do really like the originality of your choice of character. :D
I just have a few questions about your OC design: Why did you make your reindeer body look like a peanut? Why is the stone pendant levitating? Why can't I see your other antler? That said, lots of great details in this design. I like that you didn't shy away from adding spots and getting the model a bit more 'shaggy' or furry than the show generally portrays.It gives him a bit more character.
Tyandaga No worries at all! Everyone has to start somewhere. (Also, you could just use the excuse that it is stylized, lol.) I myself am not a perfect artist. I just have to give useful criticism when I see potential because it's what I'd want others to give me as well. Just by tightening up a few things, your OC will be ready for his close up in no time :) I can't wait to see the new version. One more critique: I just noticed is the knees. The shape is a bit odd. Looking at the anatomy of a deer or even just other drawings can help that, too.
Mostly, I have an earth pony oc. I'm not going to talk about her much, since her design and backstory are still on the drawing board. If I ever DID start reviewing episodes of MLP and other topics, I'd probably go for an oc of one of the Egyptian cats from the comics, I like their design and I think I'd stand out more.
I made my oc a deer too since I just love the animal and I wanted to be different from alot of people I'm still sketching her out and hope to finish her soon! I didn't want to go with a pony and was originally going to go with a zebra but decided against it since I love deer so much! Then when I saw your TH-cam page I was so happy to find a deer oc!
I used to have a Unicorn Oc, because I thought that my options were Earth, Pegasus or Unicorn. Of course, I knew that Griffons, Zebras, Bats (Vampire pony thing), Changelings or even an Alicorn. But recently, I saw this video and realised that, as a fellow Canadian fellow, a reindeer Oc would be Awesome!! I won't copy your artstyle or anything like that, Pinkie Promise! I mean, I do have some ethic!!
If I can draw it decently, I'll use a baby dragon to represent myself. Specifically, an analysis channel I plan on working on after winter break. My reasoning is that 1. I tend to be more combative, and quicker to argue rather than smile and nod. (this would be amplified in the character) Hence, a dragon's more aggressive nature seemed to fit my personality. And 2. I'm a minor. Thus, the OC is a BABY dragon.
when I started to think about designing an oc I was inspired to make one by watching mad munchkin's videos and I saw her video about non pony ocs she was interviewing a half griffon and half pony that inspired me to make my oc, half pony half deer.
I got my non-ponysona from actually watching other youtubers discussions on the matter, your channel included. Originally, I was going to do a pegasus as well, since I also wanted to fly. After watching those videos, I realized if I did a pegasus, it would prove very difficult to make it unique, along with unicorn or earth pony OCs. From there, I did some research about the mythological creatures in MLP, to none of which caught my initial appeal. I then did deeper research into mythological horses and ponies, though none of them came up with what I wanted. My aim was to have an almost non-pony OC that could fly and looked unique from everyone else. My research led into what others had done for their OCs. I researched bat ponies, the magic unicorns and pegasi have, what qualifies as still a pony, and what makes each one special. Overall, I decided that the best way to go was to give my OC a subtly demonic look, but with the appear of a pony face and a cutie mark. I used the wings of a b
at, as I did not want feathered wings, and I also used the fangs of one, goat horns, because they appeared the most demonic in my opinion, a wolf'a legs and ears, because I honestly love wolves, but did not want a wolf OC, as that has already been done, and the head and front legs and body of a pony, to show that they were not a completely different thing. Thus, the Canrasettuus was born, the first and only of its kind, as no one has ever created such a creature. In the end, it turned out to be a unique and original creature with a familiar look so others could recognize me in my MLP work. And thus, ends the tale of how I created my OC. :)
Originally I chose a unicorn OC, but over time I fell in love with the state of Texas I was still sticking with a unicorn until I watched a video by Mad Munchkin on being creative. So I redid my unicorn and turned her into a Texas longhorn to represent my love for Texas and having a cow OC would be unique. On top of that I took a step further and made my OC a miniature Texas longhorn to myself in real life because in reality I have Dwarfism. With my cow OC there is much more to work with. Like instead of giving her a cutie mark she was given a brand that reflects who she is.
Long-story-short, my OC went from noobish black-green Alicorn to a blonde-white Pegasus to a gryphon-pony hybrid(with less bright color palette too). Reason for that was: I saw too many blonde white-coated OCs and wanted to stand out abit, when I came across gryphon hybrids, Sphynx. My OCs colors suit my happy personality, and IRL I'm an easily rememberable person, I stand out. So what stands out better in a crowd of ponies than a hybrid? Well, theres a few things, but you get the point.
@tyandaga how do i make a good oc of any animals or names as i have watched all your vids on making an oc. i need suggestions or something as my drawing looks like the stick one you did but of 5000 different things put in a blender and voala there is a big monster i have spent more than 5 hours thinking but not getting any further as an idea as to make a unicorn pony oc . (im not sure of the name of the horned ponys) thank you
Well my pony Oc was initially a unicorn that was based on me rather than a backstory of it's own. as I went through different phases of my life I would change it over and over again, from Unicorn to Zebra to Pegasus, and I ended up staying on Pegasus for a while, but still changed it several times. However. finally I decided I had had enough of all the changing, so I settled on a Pegasus named Xantara.After a while though, I've started watching your channel, and I saw your video of non-pony OCs, then I watched Mad Munchkin's, so I decided to redesign her one last time, give her a full backstory and personality according to it (and made her a Blankflank following why you are one too, and the fact that I kept changing cutie marks too) and in the end, I came up with my final product (link won't work but it's on Deviantart, you can find it by typing "Xantara the hippogriff" X3)
My pony was a earth pony that turned into an Pegasus but i think i should be a flightless pony who learns how to fly later on when she gets her cutie mark... which one should i chose
I've always wanted to create some sort of deer OC. I had it all planned out; the name, backstory, that sort of stuff. I was fine, until I figured deer wasn't that great of an idea considering I'm awful at drawing deer. I'm bad at it because every time I drew it, it looked way too much like a pony. A few days later, I was basically out of ideas. I was literally spamming the randomize button on the pony generator looking for a design. I then found this weird looking one with decent colors and butterfly wings. It was perfect. She'll be my little breezy pony. (By the way, MY RAINBOW SCOUT IS NOT MY OC.)
I have plenty of OC's, but I decided to draw one of mine (Doctor Icymoon) in the MLP *_style_*. Here's her backstory: The young doe came to Equestria from her hometown in Jamaa trying to escape the Zootopian invasion. After the war, many animals went home, others decided to stay. Not only because they wanted to go back, this also prevented overcrowding, allowing enough room in case they liked it better there. Now she works as a sorceress in her treehouse located in the Everfree Forest.
Ok, so my oc's name is Lyric. Her appearance is, a white coat, along with a red and gold mane. I wanted my character to be diffrent, so her eyes are two totally diffrent colors. Her right eye is orange, and her left is red.(btw she is a unicorn) Ok so this is her backstory. On a desert like island, was a mare with white and gold streaks in her mane, and a light brown coat, named Cocoa. She was running accross the island panicked. She had overslept, and was missing her Interview. She was a cook, and loved baking cakes. She went inside of the bakery into the back room. On her way, she noticed a stallion sitting with a cup of coffee, and a glazed donut. She paused, as his red mane caught her eye. He noticed her staring and looked at her. Cocoa then blushed and ran intothe back room. An old mare was sitting at a desk, looking very disappointed. "Your late." She said while fliping a page in a navy blue book. "I know, I'm sorry, my alarm-" "Its fine." The mare cutted her off. "I looked at your record, and the information you put in your application, and your hired." Cocoa was relieved as she walked out the room after the old mare told her about cocoa's first day, and all the dates and rules. She looked over at the stallion noticing he was still there. Writing in a journal. She walked over and sat accross from him. "What are you writing?" Cocoa asked. The stallion looked up at her, noticing her red and orange eyes."stuff" he said, looking back down at his paper. "Thats nice... Do you like this bakery?" "Yes, I come here every sunday to write in my journal." The stallion answered looking up at her. Gazing inter her eyes. "Whats your name?" She asked smiling. "Pepper." He answered. "And you are??" Cocoa blushed. "Cocoa.. my name is Cocoa." Hours of talking, they quickly became close. Year after year, they got even closer, and fell in love, and had a newborn girl named Lyric. She had the same eyes as her mom. But sadly after birth, Cocoa died of a heart problem. Pepper was Devastated. After the funeral, they moved to Las Pegasus. As the young filly grew, everytime before bed, the young filly would ask, "What was mom like?" Pepper would ignore her and tuck her in, and go to bed. On peppers 14th birthday, Pepper got Lyric her first Ipod.. The Dj for Lyric's party was delayed, due to another birthday party. Lyric was disapointed because she was expecting a big party after she opened her presents. But Lyric had an idea, but Pepper didnt really aprove because he thought the idea was briliant. He brought up his old dj hardware Cocoa had bought him for his birthday. She decided to play herself. While Lyric was playing, a volume icon appeared on her flank. Thats all I have, but im working on it. :3
Well, now I'm stuck, my "oc" is a reindeer, and I have been planning on making a TH-cam channel doing a similar thing as you and others do. Now I have no idea what to do. I love your videos and finally found another reindeer!
I have a deer oc to but I made it on flip a clip and i don't know how to save the picture to my gallery and use it as my photo for TH-cam :( but anyway on with the story! (Btw my character does not have a name yet :p) so story is..- I originally wanted to do an earth pony but when I made the character it looked too much like other ponies such as the mane six and others! So I looked up pictures of animals that kinda where in the horseish family but I didn't like any of them so I finally went on flipaclip because I was bored and started out making a horse but added antlers so I drew a deer and I have a personality for her I will list her info.. Character Info Traits-Shy,Animal Lover,Clumsy,Likes Video Games Gender-Female Hobby-Singing,Videogames Species-Deer Positivity level: High
I have created many OC's, but the one to represent myself was hard to conjure up. I had to think and search for inspiration, though I didn't end up using most of it in the end. I began sketching. My character has a stars arc looking pony body, but I will probably change that in the future. At first, I planned for my oc to be a lynx since I like cats so much. But I had a really hard time with the ears. They always looked funny, or too pony like. So I had to think a bit more. For inspiration, I started adding more to my oc, the prominent feature being a lot of fluffy fur. Then I drew small bear-like ears. INSPIRATION! (That's the sound of me getting hit by inspiration.) I was like, "Hey, it looks like a polar bear." At this point, it was still in black and white, so of course it looked like a polar bear. So that's what I stuck with. What's also cool, is that it kinda reflects my own personality. It may look fluffy and cute, but it can have a temper at the best and worst of times. (Limit)
My pony is a rare type of pony that lives outside equestria in a snowy island. Her name is Misty, of course, and her fur changes color due to season change. In winter and fall her fur is white, and in summer and spring, it's blue or green. She is a pegasus and has snowflakes in her mane. She is also half vampire bat which is wy one of her iris' are red and has fangs.
My OC is a unicorn because she's a writer, and because I wanted to use her to make an in depth fan fiction that fills in all the plot holes that kind of crop up in the show such as the threat made against canterlot in the canterlot wedding and where trixie got all the bits for the alicorn amulet. For this I needed an OC that would want to screw with Twilight, and an ex student of Celestia fit the bill. (I did come up with her before Sunset Shimmer, but she is different anyway) So yea, that's why my OC is what she is ^_^
I have been struggling with a good oc. I have a oc, the one in my profile picture,but I've never been happy with it. I wanted to go with something more unique, so I started looking into creatures that could fit the roll,but I have come up blank. I'm looking though, and your video helped.
My pony oc is an Earth Pony named Celestial Brush, She really represents me, and I even have a reason as to why I made her the way I did, but many people confuse her to be a griffin cause of her black muzzle, and black hooves... I'm not sure if theres a way I can change it or make it easier for people not get it wrong, but looking at the poll, I think I'll make all her friends which consist of a pegasus, 2 Unicorns(who where gifts for my birthday from some friends), and either a griffin or a zebra, or something else since they arent very popular...
I ended up with a Changling ponysona/OC; I did this for a few reasons; one, not that common, but still in the show, two, This Day Aria is my fav MLP song; and three, I already had a werewolf/shapeshifter persona, so it fit me to have an shapeshifting character. =)
You know what would've been funny? You walk over the fire to get off screen and trip over the can, it falls in the fire and explosion ending, but that was good anyways
I made my oc a diamond dog, mostly because in the show they've been in a bit of a bad light. Along with as a baby, i got a doggy named woody, he was my best friend. he was with me through 14 years of my life. So, a dog is special towards me.
My OC is a Dreqonicuss (I've probably spelt that wrong) DoodleJinx was originally an earth pony, an artist that lived in ponyville and she ran a local gallery. But was mind controlled by discord, then as he turned back to stone some of his chaotic power remained within her. she began to change and with her new powers came up with a spell to make her look like her old self, but it didn't go to plan and decided to keep her new look (hens the snake tail and weird eyes) - she is also the inspiration behind my business logo and her name is my alis
I just like to draw abunch of characters I usally don't do much with them. I just like taking my creativity and making ocs like horses,ponies, wolfs,you know those things :3 its fun
I am an crystal pony, I chose this because it was a sort of mix between my two favorite races. I wanted to be an earth pony, but I wanted magic. I am still in the works on how I will look, since my color scheme is quiet similar to Sweetie Bloom. Though our designs have many differences, the Internet is still the Internet.
My MLP OC is a dragon. I consider myself a very loyal, protective person, sometimes to a fault, and that very much makes me relate to both Fluttershy and Spike, on a personal level. However, since Pegasus OCs are already so popular, and I wanted a nonpony OC, I went with dragon.
can you make a video on how to pick an oc that you will love because im haveing trouble with mine i can't deside on a Pegasus or unicorn they're both so good
I know it's not that realistic but when I imagine it in the show it looks good! Ok. I love your videos my oc since I'm more of a dog person I can't really choose my cutie mark this way. I see a wolf pony or simply one that is more comfortable around wolves. Can you tell me which one is better because I have a great realistic relatable backstory for both thx!
Scout Spy Well I'm certainly not the best one to make that decision, that's your call ;p. However, why not try both? You can certainly make two characters :)
My Oc is Icy Flames, a wolf pony (with wings .3.). I chose a wolf pony because wolves are my favorite animal, and my spirit animal. My main inspiration was Rainbow Dash, since she was my favorite character (still is, but I like Luna and Scootaloo too :3) and I thought it was really cool that she had wings so I added them onto Icy.
My oc is a pegasus and your making me think it over. I chose pegasus because i have always wanted to fly and it has been a large part in my life. I love being a pony because they are beautiful and can do many things. So should i change it?
I'm still working on my OC (I ended up deciding to change to the fox, if you remember me). I have a rough sketch, but not much of a back story for it yet.
I choose my OC because I haven't seen that many half pony OCs around. My OC is a half wolf Alicorn. The reason I choose Alicorn for her pony part was because if I chose anything else, She would have been more powerful to overcome her disabilities as not being completely pony. Disabilities which would and will be explained in her backstory. But even as an Alicorn she still has her disabilities to not make her Mary Sue. Her backstory and family only ever mention the cannon alicorns two or three times but not as direct or distant relatives.
my OC is named Dodie, or Doddle. her last name is Bubble. I wanted something like dubble bubble for her name. she's like a piece of bubble gum, sweet but ready to pop. she tends to blurt things out though. she actually kind of looks like Harley Quinn, probably because for blush she has two little hearts on her cheeks. she's kind of bubble gum centered; she always has a piece of gum in her mouth, and she's a food critic, even though she's 14/15 years old. her cutie mark is a slightly bitten piece of gum with the word "G U M", with a little heart.
One of my friends (now boyfriend) is an brony and introduced me to the show and told me about his OC. I was really enthusiastic and wanted to create an OC too so I could role play with him and his friends. I had no idea however what kind of pony I wanted to be and told my boyfriend about my predicament. He knows I really like dragons, but a dragon didn't seem like the perfect MLP OC to me, so he said 'there are also batponies' And I was like 'hu?' He explained me that they were basically very strong ponies with bat wings, slit eyes and sharp teeth. I let out the Holly Mother of all gasps and did my research. I ended up making my Silly Sketch looking a little different from the ones in the show but I worked out a few tiny headcanons and the excuse that I was adopted by pegasi at a young age, thus I know nothing about batpony culture.
I initially decided to be a Pegasus, but like u said, most people choose a Pegasus. So I decided I would be an alicorn as the daughter of king Sombra, who I still technically use her but she was still a bit plain. Finally I thought about making up a Batpony alicorn OC because when I saw them in season two, I immediately fell in love with them. She is a white Batpony with a brown mane with tips of blue on the ends because my hair is brown and I want to dye it a bit blue but my parents think it isn't a good idea. Anyways, her cutie mark is a pair of DJ headphones with music notes around them and peacesigns on the ears. She wears a peacesigns necklace she recieved from her best friend Nightwing, when he saved her from a changeling horde. Yeah so I know it sounds weird but oh well! I explain clearer on channel!
My OC is a pegasus but she is also an enderpony, she has bad anger issues can fly unnaturally fast and can teleport (not very well but she can) her name is SunSprite and she has a long brown mane and tail, a bright yellow coat,her visible eye (right eye) is grey, and her cutie mark is an xbox controller. The white part of her right eye is purple and her snake like pupil is magenta, her eye glows purple too but her mane hides her eye.
My OC is a Pegasus, too!😊 Her name is Rainbow Rocker. She is a black Pegasus with straight rainbow hair, her cutie mark is a rainbow electric guitar, and she can also do the sonic rainboom!
My OC is basically a zebra unicorn working as basically a Druid and guardian of Evergreen forest....don't ask about the zebra unicorn thing, its a long story.....and how he got to evergreen forest....yeah.
My main OC is part draconequus and part pony. She has a grey head, lion front paws, and a snake tail, and a blue wing, and the rest of her is hot pink with brown mane. I don't call her a Pegasus because she never learned how to fly, and she doesn't want to learn how to fly. She just wants to stay on the ground with all the critters.
My of is a Pegasus , Melody Waters, Her mother loved music so she was named melody . She changed her last name for her brother Aqua Puzzle who has autism and a love of the ocean
My main OC is a Pegasus. I know it's super common, but I love pegasi. I'm also a huge fan of night time, and since pegasi can fly it means they get to be closer to the stars than other ponies. Not only that, but my choice in a Pegasus OC also represents my dreams not being tied down and letting them fly freely, allowing me to be more open and outgoing! :D
My oc is a dog. More specifically, an Australian Shepherd. I really wanted a silver aussie, and name it something like Mystic or Misty (I'm big with names with M). It wasn't long until I figured out a pony oc is too "original". And my favorite animal is a wolf, and there is Dr. Wolf(?) or something. But to my knowledge, a female Australian Shepherd named Star isn't taken ^o^ But I always have my pony oc just in case someone does
I have a very long backstory and I'm still working out some small problems to it. Simple way to put it for now, Pegasus with only 1 wing. I have the story about how I lost the other but I'm not done yet.
Cool story. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your necklace. The accessories are what people really remember about my OC. Hopefully that will change once I get some of my new videos out.
OMG you are soo happy and enthusiastic it almost makes me tired just listening to you. not like thats a bad thing but shouldn't you slow down a bit. it almost sounds like your rushing, maybe it just sounds like that to me because I'm a really relaxed person.
I will definitely have a story for you soon, it would take about three minutes to come up with an acceptable OC, but that is no OC that we stand for on Tyandaga's channel LOL I'm formulating something though, and it has been in progress for a while, but I want it to be special somehow. One thing I believe I would like to do is give my OC some kind of affiliation to winter, but that is all I will say so far. Pardon me if it's rude, but may I ask when your next video will be uploaded? Again I'm sorry if it seems creepy that I comment on these videos as frequently as I do, but I honestly have some sort of belief in your channel's success, and I enjoy very extensively in comparison to other channels. (I'm also a big fan of your Reindeer OC) but thx for being such an awesome channel owner and giving feedback to your subs, it means a lot. ;D
Sabre Cat Actually the next video should be up fairly soon! I'm waiting on some audio files from ToonKritic, which *hopefully* should be sent to me before valentines day :)
Well Mr.Tyandaga I would like to thank you and well give you some credit where it is due. Through your channel and your videos I have made a Reindeer oc and I am quite happy with my decision with making him my new sona so thank you ^~^
My wolfs back story is that as a pup ponies were always scared of him because he was a wolf as he got older he loved adventure so one day when he was exploring he found a blue spiky amulet ponies and others are not scared of him he has made lots of friends but he still doesn't know what the blue amulets power is or were it came from but he is still trying to figure out what powers and if their is more of them.Also 2 things Tyandaga will you share your Oc back story with us and I think you have one of the other amulet
My OC is actually a Reindeer too I chose it because I love Christmas and I had this little toy of course a Reindeer. Also they were my Favorite Animal and I wear a sling of one single bell cause the toy I have had a bell and my Cutie Mark is a Pencil because I love to draw you would see me drawing every time. So there's my OC story
my oc is an alicorn named bella (my name) i consider myself ok at drawing ponies because i compare myself to the professionals like blits azalias dash and others. speaking of blitz, my style is adapted from hers and i give her an ENORMOUS thank you for that. her style and anatomy is really eye candy to look at i suggest checking out her speedpaints! also her gen 5 mlp redesigns. love ur vids btw!
though many ponies go for pegasus, alicorn or unicorn where's the hybrids? like me and emala jiss. we are zebra hybrids which I'm irish and (in equestria) esparia. back stories are key to a good oc. nott the design or markings the personality really.
just w- the amulet is magical ;-; its floating
Old video, bad artwork xD
its okai :P
i cried when you replied X3
LunarWolf D:
happy tears :P
One of my favorite OC's (Cloud Burst) is a Pegasus because she was actually made from a cloud with Celestia and Luna's magic to me it just made sense to make her a Pegasus ^^
my main oc is an earth pony named Yami Shibai (also Ghost Story technically as a name)who lives in my original town of Uma (Japanese for horse) and she was mainly created from my fascination with Japanese culture and storytelling, as well as mixing my love for the horror genre without being to graphic and almost in a dark humor kinda way. She also either can interact directly with other co's of mine to hear myths, legends, or just personal ghost stories from child hood, or one of my oc's could be a character in their story. Also one of the newer Oc's in one of her stories is a Piebald deer that has some powers to control and create snow because of her deep connection to where she comes from and snow spirits, but with her power she unknowingly awakes a dark spirit ^-^ (anything beyond that is spoilery :D)
also I like your energy in the video and personally I like faster paced videos that can get their point across, but some parts can feel a bit rushed, but for me I'm not complaining to much.
You inspired me to make an oc that isn't a horse. I'm still in the process of designing it at the moment (because I can't draw) but I know that it's going to be a llama.
Wow, you have creativity girl!(A llama is cute.)
+Snowflake Productions Thank you! :)
:D
Llamas are cute (so are alpacas). Go for it.
I work on an Alpaca farm with a llama. They like to sniff my face lol
My OC Is a Blue pegusus with purple and blue hair and a Big star cutie mark with a galaxy!
after a while I finnaly came with an idea for an O.C
Race: windika (also known as the wendigo)the windika has a head shaped like the skull of a stag, other features include, a large but hard to notice mane around the shoulders and neck and skeletal like hands and claws
unique features:one broken antler, wolf hide as a coat (often used as a sign of power) and red fur at his mane
personality: occasionaly violent, greedy, can be cheerful, doesnt mind being lonely and ignores any negativity towards him
I am still finnishing off his backstory, but I will reply to this comment with his backstory in it
I went with my thestral/deer purely for visual reasons. I liked the thestral eyes and ear tufts, as well as the freedom of colour, but I'd always loved how antlers looked. That ended up contributing to the character and helping me express my own personality; he's visibly a half breed. I am visibly in between two categories as well. True, it does make the character design a little busy; there's a lot of special details and I'm sure that if I were to show my OC, he'd look like an attention plea because he's got so much going on (slit pupils, ear tufts, sharp teeth, freckles, weird colours, cloven hooves, antlers), but I wouldn't sacrifice a single detail. I already gave up something huge when I decided to leave the bat wings off of him; they're not getting my antlers!
great work once again, and i really like your reindeer oc. theres lots of reindeer here in scotland too. theyre awesome. :) my keyboard is broken so im using the touch screen one. it sucks. lol
Mad Munchkin Touch screen is bad in general ;p
I have a friend that has a reindeer oc, but she eventually made it into something wired.
***** Bro u talkin smack about my homeland? My ancestors were from there and they were pretty damn close to the king. {Y'know before we got exiled, congratulations relative-I-don't-know-the-name-of! Going to a catholic wedding while everyone is protestant, way to LOOSE YOUR HEAD. LITERALLY.}
And Maddie is actually a really good TH-camr. NO. A fantastic one. I love her scottish accent and her drawing skill is amazing. And I just ranted on a website... Go me :D
I love Scotland and the scenery there is beautiful and I have never seen a wild deer there, intact I've never seen a wild deer in my life. you're lucky you saw one. PLUS. as bambi's friend bumper would say {YAY deer reference :D} "If you've got nothing nice to say, don't say nothing at all." Maybe you should take the rabbits advice Belle.
***** What part of "exiled" and "ancestors" do you not get? I don't live there I visit there every so often. I live in Ireland so I'm pretty close. And "bro" is a figure of speech. I'm not about to fight over where my family was from and where they are now and how much of an idiot you are. Go get a life instead of making mean remarks on people's comments because you don't have a permit to be mean on the internet, no one does. So stop being a *troll* and go easter egg hunting or something.
Omg mad munchen
My non pony oc idea:
Name: Emily
Type: Pheonix
Gender: female
Personality: always happy, lazy, smart, forgetful, creative, immature, & a perfectionist
Backstory: Emily's family was very strict to tradition. They make sure that it was always kept up. But, Emily hated her family's tradition. She wished that she could live with the ponies, who had a simpler one. One night, Emily dreamt that a pony talked to her. The pony whispered, "your destiny is being with ponies. Go there, you parents will understand." The next day, Emily's parents talked to her. "Emily", they said. "Maybe we are too strict to our tradition. We know that you'd prefer to live with the ponies, so we allow you to leave. You can also visit us for about once a week." Emily decided to go to live with the ponies, and every month she would visit her parents.
Please tell me if my oc sounds cool! 😊😊😊
vira ramadhani Yur oc is just like an angel I bet she is beautiful!
its a great idea since its not perfect :D
you have a backstory and flaws like immature forgetful and lazy
vira ramadhani That sounds so Awesome it reminds me a little bit of the Backstory for my OC his destiny is to become King of the Dinosaurs but to also be with the Ponies
It's okay but you should get rid of "perfectionist" since it makes her sound like a mary-sue.
I personally think its a wonderful idea. Its like Tyandaga. There aren't any deer OC's and there aren't any phoenix Oc's. The backstory seems a lot more interesting than mine.
Thanks so much for this video, Tyandaga. My OC is a cow, obviously, and I thought my OC was a little too standoffish to make a branding name or a channel off of it (as I'm thinking of making an analysis channel.) But seeing ponies like you and MadMunchkin, I see that it's pretty cool to have a unique pony design and I'll definitely make videos like this in the future! ^^
+The RTD Pony ^.^
My OC is a pony. Cause... Its a pony show.
Tipsy Shipsy but is there a way your oc stands out?
тιpѕy ѕнιpѕy mine is a pony. just a messed up pony ;-; but shes an earth pony so..
I'm thinking of starting a TH-cam channel, and-... I ended up going with a BatPony.
I haven't seen a BatPony OC before and while it seems cheesy and "Edgy" I actually have a very close connection with bats.
They're nocturnal, which is always nice, but also they're the animals my mom actively works to defend, and I often get to see a bat, considering that my cat often catches them.
And I actually think I did a pretty good job representing both me, but also the typical batpony in the design.
My OC is a hybrid between a pony and a dragon.
Kirin? XD
*that sounds like a Pegasus set on fire but with extra steps*
Cool
Mine too
Well, I kinda dropped my OC's old back story because it seemed Mary suish during the time, so I guess I'll just tell the story of how I created my OC two years ago. My current boyfriend and I had been trying to think of OC's for ourselves, but we decided to give each other the names of our OC. The Sapphire comes from it being my birthstone and my favorite jewel. The Heart comes from my supposedly caring and passionate personality. The song comes from my personal life where people had been telling me since I was a kid "You should join choir!" (which I finally did for my last year of high school, aka now.)
I had tried giving her a back story of how she was a canterlot pony who was pressured to be the next big celebrity by her parents, and the fact that she eventually gets an amulet that can change herself into a unicorn or an earth pony for one hour (she can also turn into a crystal pony to double her strength and magic, but I'd have to cut the time in half) but she can not turn into an alicorn. She already has Princessy Pegasus wings. (Mostly because I hate regular Pegasus wings) But I felt sorry for the Pegasus species during the time and didn't know they were the most popular during the time, so I went with Pegasus. If I could go back in time, I'd change my OC into an earth pony (or unicorn)
Well... I have a Pegasus BUT WAIT DONT SCREEM AT ME PPL I've always wanted to have wings and fly even my warrior cat Oc has wings
Some Jammer um well it's a fake warrior but my real one doesn't she just is a black cat with bright blue eyes but MY OWN SERIES SIMILAR TO THE WARRIORS SHE DOSE AND NO THEY R NOT LIKE Pegasus WINGS MY SERIES IS NOT REALISTIC
AND JUST BC SHE HAS WINGS DOSE THAT MEAN SHE IS A MARY SUE trust me she has flaws she has an insane brother who tries to kill everyone ;)
Pfft its ok i chose the 16th pair of wings for my oc ! everyone has there own ideas
Some Jammer how?
How is it edgy
I started off with a Pegasus oc then I watched the episode with discord and realized how unique discord was. the dragoniquis stood out to me because of the many different parts of him, showing me what mericles life could create and the wonders of life itself.
I'm gonna leave two comments or two in one.
my official of that is based of me is an earth pony. she is a light yellow because I didn't want a tan pony because that would look ackward. then she has long brown mane with a curl at the end because my hair is kinda wavy but I didn't want to go all princess style. plain brown, no other color got it? good. she has brown eyes because I have brown eyes and she has glasses but doesn't wear them often only when she is doing her special talent. drawing and writing. yea she is boring but hey at least she isn't a pony who has a aful problem and magic just shoots out of her causing chaos.
now to my still getting planed of
she is a changling. oh my! her back leg is black with holes like a changling but is just an ordinary pony. still working on it.....
+Snowflake Mel that is awesome!
+iloveowls90 thank cho!
Originally my OC didn't have much thought put into him, but as time went on I gradually began adding more and more bits to him to make him more unique and more of a reflection of myself in both appearance and personality. Appearance wise I originally was going to use something like Spitfire's mane style, but have since changed it to a more bushy style since people have always commented about my bushy hair in real life. Next I originally planned to make my OC a unicorn, but many people said they thought I should be a Pegasus and overtime I really warmed up to the idea. Lastly was his color scheme, I originally only intended to choose a color based on appearance but once again through many people's comments i eventually settled on a dark blue color, since in real life people describe as someone with an aura of mystery, someone who always seems to have something on his mind, and I thought a dark blue color would best reflect that.
My OC is probably gonna be llama
Narwhal xD Heck Yeah
You choosing a reindeer and not something most people choose inspired me! I only get one shot at an oc. I can't really change it later on. I almost nearly went with a Pegasus. But than I wanted to choose something different. So I decided to go with a fox! It's going along pretty well so far. I'm going to have to change my icon...
i mean made not mad
I had to do a Pegasus because I was limited to ideas. So I took my friends idea to do a Pegasus with blue armour on.
My oc is an alicorn. YES I KNOW BRING ME YOUR HATE. I make it have peppermint colors and started to call it peppermint lightning. But that didn't suit it well so I called it Lightning Speed. I was just looking through some mlp stuff until I saw a pegasus with the same coloring but the make was brown and yellow in streaks. I took that idea and made my oc like that. But then I like the other Oc Killer Beats. Thats when instead of brow I change the mane to black with highlighted yellow hair , that has killer beats bangs and rainbow dash's back hair. The cuitemark now Is a thunderbolt with no cloud. Also I actually have Crystal Pony eyes. Ta-Da!
+Skye Hollister Alicorns aren't as uncommon anymore, and as a result, far less "hated" ;p.
OMG YOU ACTUALLY COMMENTED ON ME OMGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skye Hollister 0.0
Sorry im not usually like that sorry..... .3.
xD
I really like your OC and design choice, and it's always cool when the OC is based off of your country ^^ Really shows your pride! I know unicorns are one of the more popular choices, and I don't like the fact that I may get swept under the rug because my OC is not very unique, but I honestly can't picture her being any other species or race. The other pony races just doesn't mesh with my personality, and other species I just can't picture, oddly enough. I can usually picture various different styles for one character, but because Auria is based almost solely off myself, for once, I just have a hard time picturing her as, let's say a hippogriff, or (something I haven't seen yet) a giraffe. It just doesn't seem right to me. I chose a unicorn because unicorns have been shown to be extremely creative and artsy, and that describes me perfectly. I want to be an earth pony or some other species because I'm usually the odd one out, anyways, but I honestly can't picture Auria as anything but a unicorn. Ah, well, I'll make her stand out amongst other unicorns more ^w^
Auria_Autumn Well it's good that you're going for a more practical approach that fits you! The last thing I intended was to pressure people into making random oc's like fish or elephants or something xD. It's good that you chose unicorn, because it seems to fit your personality the best :3
Tyandaga I don't think you pressured anyone ^^ That's just something I tend to think about often: Should I keep her a unicorn, or make her something else? If anything, I'm pressuring myself XD
lol ;p
I love your reindeer OC, Tyandaga! I think it fits you very well! :D
+Horsey Content Thank you! xD
Tyandaga
Your welcome c:
This is rise of new famous brony videomaker in our fandom! I just know it -,-
By the end of this year you will have atleast 10k+ subs.
***** Wow, I'm not sure about that, but I really appreciate the compliment! :3
I made a hybrid oc, as I originally had a pony and dragon. I mixed them together "ponies name, Sion." and dragons name. "Draco" and I mashed them to Siondrago. yet, i also added a bit of lion to him, as my favourite game is Final fantasy 8. Squall Leonheart has a big lion thing.
Originally I was going to be a creepypasta reading channel called PoeticMotherPasta, so the character was gonna be an earth pony based on the traditional ghost/creepy look, black hair and eyes with pale white skin, or in this case, a white blank-flanked pelt. But though I liked the idea of being a creepypasta reader, I realised it wasn't for me simply because I hate reading, I can't read one line without stuttering and I'm very monotone.
So instead of an earth pony, I decided to rack my brain and think about possible different cultures within the mlp universe, and sure enough, one of the things that came to mind was a chocobo. (They are a pain to draw ugh) Chocobos have been a big part of my life since I grew up on Final Fantasy, to the point where I tried to incorporate them into everything mlp because of their cutesy style. Plus honestly Chocobos were under-rated in every perspective, but I wanted to view myself as different in the fandom since when I do make analysis videos for my channel, it wont be reviewing MLP, but rather coming up with theories for the show and community itself based on mythology, something people don't do that often. Kinda matches my creature when I think about it.
It took me a while, but I ended up choosing a deer. Interestingly, it was long before I found this channel. I was excited to find another Deerish OC! Mine has bright colors, a good backstory (I hope) and a personality that reflects my own. Boom. That's my OC. Deal with it.
I made my OC a pegasus, but she actually has a lot of diffrent features then normal OC's do. I litarly spent 2 hours righting down her back story, and it took me 45 minutes to draw in all her unique features. I wanted to make her special, do to the number of pegasus OC's.
My OC is stil its alpha version. Taking inspiration and so. Right now she is a bulky pegasus that is as strong as a earth pony.
Now I am new to your channel, so I don't know your characters capabilities yet, but the perk I guess of choosing a Reindeer.. is that technically you could still have a character that can fly. ;) I chose a pegasus, but that's because I have an absolute LOVE for flying and the idea of having wings any way, long before I started watching MLP so it seemed a given that I would choose a pegasus. :) Though a Unicorn did cross my mind at some point for the perks of magical abilities. Even though technically with magic, I could still have the ability of flight if my character specialised in it. (Plus now with Season 5 we also now know that it is quite possible for a Unicorn to actually accomplish this) But.. I don't know I have always loved the visual appeal of a pair of unfurled wings. So pegasus it was. :D But I do really like the originality of your choice of character. :D
+UntitledSpy ^.^
I just have a few questions about your OC design: Why did you make your reindeer body look like a peanut? Why is the stone pendant levitating? Why can't I see your other antler?
That said, lots of great details in this design. I like that you didn't shy away from adding spots and getting the model a bit more 'shaggy' or furry than the show generally portrays.It gives him a bit more character.
MCWestover I'm going to be remaking my oc soon, a lot of the things you're mentioning are just my poor drawing xD
Tyandaga No worries at all! Everyone has to start somewhere. (Also, you could just use the excuse that it is stylized, lol.) I myself am not a perfect artist. I just have to give useful criticism when I see potential because it's what I'd want others to give me as well. Just by tightening up a few things, your OC will be ready for his close up in no time :) I can't wait to see the new version.
One more critique: I just noticed is the knees. The shape is a bit odd. Looking at the anatomy of a deer or even just other drawings can help that, too.
MCWestover Hind legs will be the first of many changes xD
Mostly, I have an earth pony oc. I'm not going to talk about her much, since her design and backstory are still on the drawing board. If I ever DID start reviewing episodes of MLP and other topics, I'd probably go for an oc of one of the Egyptian cats from the comics, I like their design and I think I'd stand out more.
OMG! YASS! another Canadian pegasister here! love to see other bronies/pegasisters that are Canadian!
kittypawprints4me :33
I made my oc a deer too since I just love the animal and I wanted to be different from alot of people I'm still sketching her out and hope to finish her soon! I didn't want to go with a pony and was originally going to go with a zebra but decided against it since I love deer so much! Then when I saw your TH-cam page I was so happy to find a deer oc!
Melody Battle Yay :3
I used to have a Unicorn Oc, because I thought that my options were Earth, Pegasus or Unicorn. Of course, I knew that Griffons, Zebras, Bats (Vampire pony thing), Changelings or even an Alicorn. But recently, I saw this video and realised that, as a fellow Canadian fellow, a reindeer Oc would be Awesome!! I won't copy your artstyle or anything like that, Pinkie Promise! I mean, I do have some ethic!!
If I can draw it decently, I'll use a baby dragon to represent myself. Specifically, an analysis channel I plan on working on after winter break. My reasoning is that 1. I tend to be more combative, and quicker to argue rather than smile and nod. (this would be amplified in the character) Hence, a dragon's more aggressive nature seemed to fit my personality. And 2. I'm a minor. Thus, the OC is a BABY dragon.
when I started to think about designing an oc I was inspired to make one by watching mad munchkin's videos and I saw her video about non pony ocs she was interviewing a half griffon and half pony that inspired me to make my oc, half pony half deer.
I got my non-ponysona from actually watching other youtubers discussions on the matter, your channel included. Originally, I was going to do a pegasus as well, since I also wanted to fly. After watching those videos, I realized if I did a pegasus, it would prove very difficult to make it unique, along with unicorn or earth pony OCs. From there, I did some research about the mythological creatures in MLP, to none of which caught my initial appeal. I then did deeper research into mythological horses and ponies, though none of them came up with what I wanted. My aim was to have an almost non-pony OC that could fly and looked unique from everyone else. My research led into what others had done for their OCs. I researched bat ponies, the magic unicorns and pegasi have, what qualifies as still a pony, and what makes each one special. Overall, I decided that the best way to go was to give my OC a subtly demonic look, but with the appear of a pony face and a cutie mark. I used the wings of a b
at, as I did not want feathered wings, and I also used the fangs of one, goat horns, because they appeared the most demonic in my opinion, a wolf'a legs and ears, because I honestly love wolves, but did not want a wolf OC, as that has already been done, and the head and front legs and body of a pony, to show that they were not a completely different thing. Thus, the Canrasettuus was born, the first and only of its kind, as no one has ever created such a creature. In the end, it turned out to be a unique and original creature with a familiar look so others could recognize me in my MLP work. And thus, ends the tale of how I created my OC. :)
Originally I chose a unicorn OC, but over time I fell in love with the state of Texas I was still sticking with a unicorn until I watched a video by Mad Munchkin on being creative. So I redid my unicorn and turned her into a Texas longhorn to represent my love for Texas and having a cow OC would be unique. On top of that I took a step further and made my OC a miniature Texas longhorn to myself in real life because in reality I have Dwarfism.
With my cow OC there is much more to work with. Like instead of giving her a cutie mark she was given a brand that reflects who she is.
His OC is so cute I love it!
Thanks! Welcome to the channel! =3
Tyandaga Thanks for replying senpai :)
Long-story-short, my OC went from noobish black-green Alicorn to a blonde-white Pegasus to a gryphon-pony hybrid(with less bright color palette too). Reason for that was: I saw too many blonde white-coated OCs and wanted to stand out abit, when I came across gryphon hybrids, Sphynx. My OCs colors suit my happy personality, and IRL I'm an easily rememberable person, I stand out. So what stands out better in a crowd of ponies than a hybrid? Well, theres a few things, but you get the point.
@tyandaga how do i make a good oc of any animals or names as i have watched all your vids on making an oc. i need suggestions or something as my drawing looks like the stick one you did but of 5000 different things put in a blender and voala there is a big monster i have spent more than 5 hours thinking but not getting any further as an idea as to make a unicorn pony oc . (im not sure of the name of the horned ponys) thank you
Well, mine's quite recent and he's a wolf pony :) His cutiemark is my wacom tablet, the pen for it and paper with a pencil.
My god your oc
Abigail Krzywicki Sounds good! :333
Well my pony Oc was initially a unicorn that was based on me rather than a backstory of it's own. as I went through different phases of my life I would change it over and over again, from Unicorn to Zebra to Pegasus, and I ended up staying on Pegasus for a while, but still changed it several times. However. finally I decided I had had enough of all the changing, so I settled on a Pegasus named Xantara.After a while though, I've started watching your channel, and I saw your video of non-pony OCs, then I watched Mad Munchkin's, so I decided to redesign her one last time, give her a full backstory and personality according to it (and made her a Blankflank following why you are one too, and the fact that I kept changing cutie marks too) and in the end, I came up with my final product (link won't work but it's on Deviantart, you can find it by typing "Xantara the hippogriff" X3)
And thank you for making such fine videos thus far.
Keep up the good work (and I say forget the pegasi too).
Doughboy123x Thanks! And I have nothing against pegasi, it was just a personal choice that I made to not go with that route :)
Tyandaga I don't have anything personal against the pegasi themselves either. I just think they're overrated.
Doughboy123x Weeeeeellllll... flying is pretty sweet! I mean, I would love to be able to fly! Imagine the commute! :D
Tyandaga I know flying would be awesome. But my point still stands.
Doughboy123x And stands the point. Can't argue that one :)
My pony was a earth pony that turned into an Pegasus but i think i should be a flightless pony who learns how to fly later on when she gets her cutie mark... which one should i chose
I've always wanted to create some sort of deer OC. I had it all planned out; the name, backstory, that sort of stuff.
I was fine, until I figured deer wasn't that great of an idea considering I'm awful at drawing deer. I'm bad at it because every time I drew it, it looked way too much like a pony.
A few days later, I was basically out of ideas. I was literally spamming the randomize button on the pony generator looking for a design. I then found this weird looking one with decent colors and butterfly wings.
It was perfect. She'll be my little breezy pony.
(By the way, MY RAINBOW SCOUT IS NOT MY OC.)
I have plenty of OC's, but I decided to draw one of mine (Doctor Icymoon) in the MLP *_style_*. Here's her backstory:
The young doe came to Equestria from her hometown in Jamaa trying to escape the Zootopian invasion. After the war, many animals went home, others decided to stay. Not only because they wanted to go back, this also prevented overcrowding, allowing enough room in case they liked it better there. Now she works as a sorceress in her treehouse located in the Everfree Forest.
Ok, so my oc's name is Lyric. Her appearance is, a white coat, along with a red and gold mane. I wanted my character to be diffrent, so her eyes are two totally diffrent colors. Her right eye is orange, and her left is red.(btw she is a unicorn) Ok so this is her backstory.
On a desert like island, was a mare with white and gold streaks in her mane, and a light brown coat, named Cocoa. She was running accross the island panicked. She had overslept, and was missing her Interview. She was a cook, and loved baking cakes. She went inside of the bakery into the back room. On her way, she noticed a stallion sitting with a cup of coffee, and a glazed donut. She paused, as his red mane caught her eye. He noticed her staring and looked at her. Cocoa then blushed and ran intothe back room. An old mare was sitting at a desk, looking very disappointed. "Your late." She said while fliping a page in a navy blue book. "I know, I'm sorry, my alarm-" "Its fine." The mare cutted her off. "I looked at your record, and the information you put in your application, and your hired." Cocoa was relieved as she walked out the room after the old mare told her about cocoa's first day, and all the dates and rules. She looked over at the stallion noticing he was still there. Writing in a journal. She walked over and sat accross from him. "What are you writing?" Cocoa asked. The stallion looked up at her, noticing her red and orange eyes."stuff" he said, looking back down at his paper. "Thats nice... Do you like this bakery?" "Yes, I come here every sunday to write in my journal." The stallion answered looking up at her. Gazing inter her eyes. "Whats your name?" She asked smiling. "Pepper." He answered. "And you are??" Cocoa blushed. "Cocoa.. my name is Cocoa." Hours of talking, they quickly became close. Year after year, they got even closer, and fell in love, and had a newborn girl named Lyric. She had the same eyes as her mom. But sadly after birth, Cocoa died of a heart problem. Pepper was Devastated. After the funeral, they moved to Las Pegasus. As the young filly grew, everytime before bed, the young filly would ask, "What was mom like?" Pepper would ignore her and tuck her in, and go to bed.
On peppers 14th birthday, Pepper got Lyric her first Ipod.. The Dj for Lyric's party was delayed, due to another birthday party. Lyric was disapointed because she was expecting a big party after she opened her presents. But Lyric had an idea, but Pepper didnt really aprove because he thought the idea was briliant. He brought up his old dj hardware Cocoa had bought him for his birthday. She decided to play herself. While Lyric was playing, a volume icon appeared on her flank.
Thats all I have, but im working on it. :3
Well, now I'm stuck, my "oc" is a reindeer, and I have been planning on making a TH-cam channel doing a similar thing as you and others do. Now I have no idea what to do. I love your videos and finally found another reindeer!
I have a deer oc to but I made it on flip a clip and i don't know how to save the picture to my gallery and use it as my photo for TH-cam :( but anyway on with the story! (Btw my character does not have a name yet :p) so story is..- I originally wanted to do an earth pony but when I made the character it looked too much like other ponies such as the mane six and others! So I looked up pictures of animals that kinda where in the horseish family but I didn't like any of them so I finally went on flipaclip because I was bored and started out making a horse but added antlers so I drew a deer and I have a personality for her I will list her info..

I love the amulet in your design! W-Would it be okay if I used that as a reference to my character's design?
Sagittario Of course :33
I have created many OC's, but the one to represent myself was hard to conjure up. I had to think and search for inspiration, though I didn't end up using most of it in the end. I began sketching. My character has a stars arc looking pony body, but I will probably change that in the future. At first, I planned for my oc to be a lynx since I like cats so much. But I had a really hard time with the ears. They always looked funny, or too pony like. So I had to think a bit more. For inspiration, I started adding more to my oc, the prominent feature being a lot of fluffy fur. Then I drew small bear-like ears. INSPIRATION! (That's the sound of me getting hit by inspiration.) I was like, "Hey, it looks like a polar bear." At this point, it was still in black and white, so of course it looked like a polar bear. So that's what I stuck with. What's also cool, is that it kinda reflects my own personality. It may look fluffy and cute, but it can have a temper at the best and worst of times. (Limit)
My pony is a rare type of pony that lives outside equestria in a snowy island. Her name is Misty, of course, and her fur changes color due to season change. In winter and fall her fur is white, and in summer and spring, it's blue or green. She is a pegasus and has snowflakes in her mane. She is also half vampire bat which is wy one of her iris' are red and has fangs.
+Misty Star wishes (shooting star wishes) Sounds neat! ^.^
Tyandaga Thx! XD
Your OC is so cool. I sadly can't drag so I went with a wolf creator but I am hoping to have someone draw it, a much better version.
My OC is a unicorn because she's a writer, and because I wanted to use her to make an in depth fan fiction that fills in all the plot holes that kind of crop up in the show such as the threat made against canterlot in the canterlot wedding and where trixie got all the bits for the alicorn amulet. For this I needed an OC that would want to screw with Twilight, and an ex student of Celestia fit the bill. (I did come up with her before Sunset Shimmer, but she is different anyway) So yea, that's why my OC is what she is ^_^
I have been struggling with a good oc. I have a oc, the one in my profile picture,but I've never been happy with it. I wanted to go with something more unique, so I started looking into creatures that could fit the roll,but I have come up blank. I'm looking though, and your video helped.
My pony oc is an Earth Pony named Celestial Brush, She really represents me, and I even have a reason as to why I made her the way I did, but many people confuse her to be a griffin cause of her black muzzle, and black hooves... I'm not sure if theres a way I can change it or make it easier for people not get it wrong, but looking at the poll, I think I'll make all her friends which consist of a pegasus, 2 Unicorns(who where gifts for my birthday from some friends), and either a griffin or a zebra, or something else since they arent very popular...
I ended up with a Changling ponysona/OC; I did this for a few reasons; one, not that common, but still in the show, two, This Day Aria is my fav MLP song; and three, I already had a werewolf/shapeshifter persona, so it fit me to have an shapeshifting character. =)
***** Well that worked quite well for you then! :3
You know what would've been funny? You walk over the fire to get off screen and trip over the can, it falls in the fire and explosion ending, but that was good anyways
I made my oc a diamond dog, mostly because in the show they've been in a bit of a bad light. Along with as a baby, i got a doggy named woody, he was my best friend. he was with me through 14 years of my life. So, a dog is special towards me.
My OC is a Dreqonicuss (I've probably spelt that wrong) DoodleJinx was originally an earth pony, an artist that lived in ponyville and she ran a local gallery. But was mind controlled by discord, then as he turned back to stone some of his chaotic power remained within her. she began to change and with her new powers came up with a spell to make her look like her old self, but it didn't go to plan and decided to keep her new look (hens the snake tail and weird eyes) - she is also the inspiration behind my business logo and her name is my alis
I just like to draw abunch of characters I usally don't do much with them. I just like taking my creativity and making ocs like horses,ponies,
wolfs,you know those things :3 its fun
I am an crystal pony, I chose this because it was a sort of mix between my two favorite races. I wanted to be an earth pony, but I wanted magic. I am still in the works on how I will look, since my color scheme is quiet similar to Sweetie Bloom. Though our designs have many differences, the Internet is still the Internet.
My MLP OC is a dragon. I consider myself a very loyal, protective person, sometimes to a fault, and that very much makes me relate to both Fluttershy and Spike, on a personal level. However, since Pegasus OCs are already so popular, and I wanted a nonpony OC, I went with dragon.
can you make a video on how to pick an oc that you will love because im haveing trouble with mine i can't deside on a Pegasus or unicorn they're both so good
I know it's not that realistic but when I imagine it in the show it looks good! Ok. I love your videos my oc since I'm more of a dog person I can't really choose my cutie mark this way. I see a wolf pony or simply one that is more comfortable around wolves. Can you tell me which one is better because I have a great realistic relatable backstory for both thx!
Scout Spy Well I'm certainly not the best one to make that decision, that's your call ;p. However, why not try both? You can certainly make two characters :)
My Oc is Icy Flames, a wolf pony (with wings .3.). I chose a wolf pony because wolves are my favorite animal, and my spirit animal. My main inspiration was Rainbow Dash, since she was my favorite character (still is, but I like Luna and Scootaloo too :3) and I thought it was really cool that she had wings so I added them onto Icy.
^.^
My oc is a pegasus and your making me think it over. I chose pegasus because i have always wanted to fly and it has been a large part in my life. I love being a pony because they are beautiful and can do many things. So should i change it?
+Sarah Rose I'd stick with it then, it clearly fits your personality :333
thanks. you rock!
Shoddy craftsmanship on the flames animation, why does it have a horizontal cut off point at the top?
+Aidan Ratnage I tried something new with it, needless to say, it didn't work out as well as I would have liked ;p
I'm sure not many people noticed it.
I NOTICED :P
I'm still working on my OC (I ended up deciding to change to the fox, if you remember me). I have a rough sketch, but not much of a back story for it yet.
Crimson Graphite Well certainly take your time with it! Rome wasn't built in a day! More like two or three ;p
I choose my OC because I haven't seen that many half pony OCs around. My OC is a half wolf Alicorn. The reason I choose Alicorn for her pony part was because if I chose anything else, She would have been more powerful to overcome her disabilities as not being completely pony. Disabilities which would and will be explained in her backstory. But even as an Alicorn she still has her disabilities to not make her Mary Sue. Her backstory and family only ever mention the cannon alicorns two or three times but not as direct or distant relatives.
my OC is named Dodie, or Doddle. her last name is Bubble. I wanted something like dubble bubble for her name.
she's like a piece of bubble gum, sweet but ready to pop. she tends to blurt things out though. she actually kind of looks like Harley Quinn, probably because for blush she has two little hearts on her cheeks.
she's kind of bubble gum centered; she always has a piece of gum in her mouth, and she's a food critic, even though she's 14/15 years old. her cutie mark is a slightly bitten piece of gum with the word "G U M", with a little heart.
One of my friends (now boyfriend) is an brony and introduced me to the show and told me about his OC. I was really enthusiastic and wanted to create an OC too so I could role play with him and his friends. I had no idea however what kind of pony I wanted to be and told my boyfriend about my predicament. He knows I really like dragons, but a dragon didn't seem like the perfect MLP OC to me, so he said 'there are also batponies' And I was like 'hu?' He explained me that they were basically very strong ponies with bat wings, slit eyes and sharp teeth. I let out the Holly Mother of all gasps and did my research. I ended up making my Silly Sketch looking a little different from the ones in the show but I worked out a few tiny headcanons and the excuse that I was adopted by pegasi at a young age, thus I know nothing about batpony culture.
I initially decided to be a Pegasus, but like u said, most people choose a Pegasus. So I decided I would be an alicorn as the daughter of king Sombra, who I still technically use her but she was still a bit plain. Finally I thought about making up a Batpony alicorn OC because when I saw them in season two, I immediately fell in love with them. She is a white Batpony with a brown mane with tips of blue on the ends because my hair is brown and I want to dye it a bit blue but my parents think it isn't a good idea. Anyways, her cutie mark is a pair of DJ headphones with music notes around them and peacesigns on the ears. She wears a peacesigns necklace she recieved from her best friend Nightwing, when he saved her from a changeling horde. Yeah so I know it sounds weird but oh well! I explain clearer on channel!
My OC is a pegasus but she is also an enderpony, she has bad anger issues can fly unnaturally fast and can teleport (not very well but she can) her name is SunSprite and she has a long brown mane and tail, a bright yellow coat,her visible eye (right eye) is grey, and her cutie mark is an xbox controller. The white part of her right eye is purple and her snake like pupil is magenta, her eye glows purple too but her mane hides her eye.
My OC is a Pegasus, too!😊 Her name is Rainbow Rocker. She is a black Pegasus with straight rainbow hair, her cutie mark is a rainbow electric guitar, and she can also do the sonic rainboom!
The white part of her left eye* DERPADY DERP DERP!!! XD btw your OC sounds cool :)
My OC is basically a zebra unicorn working as basically a Druid and guardian of Evergreen forest....don't ask about the zebra unicorn thing, its a long story.....and how he got to evergreen forest....yeah.
Ngl, every time I see that amulet I think it's the diamond that floats on top of a Sims character's head XD
+pokemonmaster8sff xD
My main OC is part draconequus and part pony. She has a grey head, lion front paws, and a snake tail, and a blue wing, and the rest of her is hot pink with brown mane. I don't call her a Pegasus because she never learned how to fly, and she doesn't want to learn how to fly. She just wants to stay on the ground with all the critters.
Your videos are great I am trying to make an oc and they are super helpful!
Tyandaga My story is sorta like yours but From the minute I saw your oc I tought.. Wow.. INSPARATION and then BAM my oc came to life :3
My of is a Pegasus , Melody Waters, Her mother loved music so she was named melody . She changed her last name for her brother Aqua Puzzle who has autism and a love of the ocean
My main OC is a Pegasus. I know it's super common, but I love pegasi. I'm also a huge fan of night time, and since pegasi can fly it means they get to be closer to the stars than other ponies. Not only that, but my choice in a Pegasus OC also represents my dreams not being tied down and letting them fly freely, allowing me to be more open and outgoing! :D
According to the latest IDW comic story arc, Deer are now Canon. Now lets wait for sentient Wolves, other than timber wolves.
***** I bet Dr Wolf is waiting for that as well xD
My oc is a dog. More specifically, an Australian Shepherd. I really wanted a silver aussie, and name it something like Mystic or Misty (I'm big with names with M). It wasn't long until I figured out a pony oc is too "original". And my favorite animal is a wolf, and there is Dr. Wolf(?) or something. But to my knowledge, a female Australian Shepherd named Star isn't taken ^o^
But I always have my pony oc just in case someone does
I have a very long backstory and I'm still working out some small problems to it. Simple way to put it for now, Pegasus with only 1 wing. I have the story about how I lost the other but I'm not done yet.
Cool story. Looking forward to seeing what you do with your necklace. The accessories are what people really remember about my OC. Hopefully that will change once I get some of my new videos out.
OMG you are soo happy and enthusiastic it almost makes me tired just listening to you. not like thats a bad thing but shouldn't you slow down a bit. it almost sounds like your rushing, maybe it just sounds like that to me because I'm a really relaxed person.
Poison Ice Blade I agree, I was rushing in the earlier videos. I think I've improved though!
I will definitely have a story for you soon, it would take about three minutes to come up with an acceptable OC, but that is no OC that we stand for on Tyandaga's channel LOL
I'm formulating something though, and it has been in progress for a while, but I want it to be special somehow. One thing I believe I would like to do is give my OC some kind of affiliation to winter, but that is all I will say so far. Pardon me if it's rude, but may I ask when your next video will be uploaded? Again I'm sorry if it seems creepy that I comment on these videos as frequently as I do, but I honestly have some sort of belief in your channel's success, and I enjoy very extensively in comparison to other channels. (I'm also a big fan of your Reindeer OC) but thx for being such an awesome channel owner and giving feedback to your subs, it means a lot. ;D
Sabre Cat Actually the next video should be up fairly soon! I'm waiting on some audio files from ToonKritic, which *hopefully* should be sent to me before valentines day :)
YAY :D
Well Mr.Tyandaga I would like to thank you and well give you some credit where it is due. Through your channel and your videos I have made a Reindeer oc and I am quite happy with my decision with making him my new sona so thank you ^~^
My wolfs back story is that as a pup ponies were always scared of him because he was a wolf as he got older he loved adventure so one day when he was exploring he found a blue spiky amulet ponies and others are not scared of him he has made lots of friends but he still doesn't know what the blue amulets power is or were it came from but he is still trying to figure out what powers and if their is more of them.Also 2 things Tyandaga will you share your Oc back story with us and I think you have one of the other amulet
Flaming potato 04 Nice story! And I don't really have an established backstory, and who knows where I got the amulet from xD
My oc is a pony.. IKR I AM SOOO CREATIVE :)
My OC is actually a Reindeer too I chose it because I love Christmas and I had this little toy of course a Reindeer. Also they were my Favorite Animal and I wear a sling of one single bell cause the toy I have had a bell and my Cutie Mark is a Pencil because I love to draw you would see me drawing every time. So there's my OC story
my oc is an alicorn named bella (my name) i consider myself ok at drawing ponies because i compare myself to the professionals like blits azalias dash and others. speaking of blitz, my style is adapted from hers and i give her an ENORMOUS thank you for that. her style and anatomy is really eye candy to look at i suggest checking out her speedpaints! also her gen 5 mlp redesigns. love ur vids btw!
My OC has robotic wings as she was a earth pony but her older sister was a pegasi, but she can't actually fly
I have a wolf oc and a back story to it but I don't have the perfect drawing for it yet and I have been working on it for a year
though many ponies go for pegasus, alicorn or unicorn where's the hybrids? like me and emala jiss. we are zebra hybrids which I'm irish and (in equestria) esparia. back stories are key to a good oc. nott the design or markings the personality really.
