My main OC is a hydra with elemental magic, each head represents two elements and a different type of dragon that represents the elements of that head. I love elemental characters and creatures, so a hydra is a cool way of mixing these concepts
Bronies worst fear is creating an oc that's already been taken. Finding a unique, never used before name is the worst part of the whole freakin thing!!!!!
Mad Munchkin like my griffon OC? i mean, i could write a book about him, send him on some adventures and even let the main character from the book i already wrote have a cameo (dont ask how) anyway, this cameo thing is only possible because of a certain aspect of my book, which is kinda fun to write. imagine a mix of Discord´s hom world and Distortion World from pokemon platinum. i mean, goodbye logics and physics, hello fun.
Hammy Haven I know that feeling it took me two solid months of thinking about a way to make my OC unique before I thought I was ready to get him commissioned to be drawn only to realize I forgot some really base things like what his cutie mark would be.
Patchwork i had the same problem with mine. so first i made him and his family have a curse that they dont get cutie marks, which causes them to be skilled in many things, but then i went with the invisibility spell, which he can do at his age because he has a special talent for manipulating the psychological. he can see energy with a certain spell, which allows him to use the lock picking spell. but more info about him will be published in my spin-off series, if i find an animator.
Rocco Ten I don't think Crystal Ponies count either, sense they r pretty much just ponies crystalized. Like Bat Ponies, Crystal Ponies are just a sub species.
I mean, if you made a good character, and created lore around what being a crystal pony actually means for daily life, then I think that is a good idea. But really, it still is a pony subspecies. Like bat ponies/thestrals or seaponies (which are awesome if done right).
Yes, they exist in canon. But they are not fleshed out at all. The only thing we know about crystallization is that it is affected by emotion and the Crystal Heart has something to do with it. In order to make it a good character, you need to know things like that very well. The solution is to create a good head-canon about it.
It's hard to make your OC look original. You're constantly worried someone will call it "too mary sue" or "you stole your design from the brony artist" the truth is, because there are so many fans and artists, and lots of different art styles taken. It's difficult to find one unique to you, as your art style may be similar to another artist. However, as every artist is never EXACTLY THE SAME as another's work, it may be hard to find a medium that stands out, that makes people go, "That MUST be so and so's work, their style is VERY distinctive" Even if you stray from the four main choices, if you DO create an OC, like a wolf or hippogriff, there will always be people who say, "Oh, you copied Dr Wolf or Silver Quill" and that's harsh. The reality is, we, the brony community, need to be less critical about other's artwork, as their struggles to please you are many.
The funny thing about hippogriffs is that they were intended to be a sort of "When pigs fly." Griffons were said to EAT horses, so the saying went, "When griffons mate with horses."
I find it funny that when you created Mary Sue and Lord Something, you intended to show us how bad OCs can get.. but instead you created lovable characters. Mary Sue is hilarious. And I want to see more of Lord Something
i was once on DA and was making a character for a bronie RP. i tried making a robot pony and the bronies in this RP chat berated me because it was a robot.
I use a draconequus OC, and I too was berated. They aren't OP by any means (I don't roleplay anyway), but the species enough was enough to elicit outrage.
Mine's a generic changeling drone that had to... leave (lightly putting it) the hive/colony due to unfortunate misunderstandings. They don't have much personality and their character is slowly being built up through roleplay.
I wasn't a brony when i made a drawing of my brony friends as ponies and I've had a goatee for the longest time so i thought it'd be funny if i ended up being a goat in the mlp universe, i drew him as an angry little guy and later (when I became a brony) during a joke with friends I said I'd live in Fluttershy's chicken coop cus she takes care of animals and my character would NOT like that at all. I don't regret my decision xD
I hope you have a label on the jar. It would probably be a nightmare if she got yours by accident or vice versa. I wonder if you would get her powers of extreme stupidity.
I have an mlp OC that is a Chimera. (google it to understand) Her character is outgoing, but can be sensitive, she likes being in groups but can keep to herself at times. This lead a lot of people to be confused, social? Anti social? Outgoing? Scaredy-cat? No body really understood her, but that’s why I like her!
Watching this video again and I'm glad that not only do I have Raptor Claw, my pony OC, but have also created my own headcanon with a HUGE variety of non-pony OCs with Raptania.
Loving the new art style for your OC, Munchkin. Right alongside the design for the Team Fortress Crossover. I especially love how well said art style looks on SilverQuill and Dr.Wolf. Secondly, I love your bagpipe theme music. Could you tell me the name of the song, perhaps? Lastly, on the topic at hand; if I had the ability. My OC would resemble that of a centaur
My OC is 75% pony, 25% panda. She's basically a normal pony except 1) her colouration is a bit different, 2) she's not as intelligent (and thus can't speak), and 3) she eats a different diet.
That doesn't make any sense. Beyond not fitting with the lore of canon, if all that's affected in her design is coloring then you could literally take that piece out with no changes. Just making a random mix of species without being willing to stray from the norm of pony designs completely misses the point o this video. I would suggest choosing a species that would fit into the look of the show, if you're absolutely set on having a hybrid. If not, just make it a straight pony, there's no problem with that.
bananasinfrench Like I said though, she's mostly pony. Genetics aren't always distributed equally. I'm part Vietnamese, for example, but I look completely Caucasian. Most of the difference with her is mental ability, not really physical appearance.
I only just found your channel today and I'm already being inspired in fact i've been thinking of making my own non pony OC for awhile. Now I just need to find a place to start.
Hm I thought of one OC that I believe hasn't been used at all yet which is a peryton a half deer half bird mythological creature that can be thought of as being good or bad in order for this mythical creature to mate it needs a human heart to do so. So yeah I used that creature as my MLP OC I thought that this would be original and I want to hear your thoughts about my idea?
11:00 - Yeah, I DO know, that lots of bronies might have similiar OCs, but God, this little pony right above white earth pony with blue mane looks almost exacly like my Iris! Or maybe it's InkRose... I dunno. But... Iris is an alicorn (please don't kill me ;-;) and has fox's tail and ears.
Funnily enough, the reason I created a zebra OC was from a poll on Equestria Daily. Out of all of the options available (core 3, alicorn, griffon, etc) zebra had the fewest votes. I enjoyed the idea of zebra OCs and wanted to see more ideas of what they'd be like aside from Zecora. Most people don't know about my OC because I don't really have an opportunity to show him off. Aside from my profile picture and channel art, I wouldn't have gotten much use out of it. I also don't quite have the artistic talent to make drawings of him myself that I'd be proud of, so going without the OC was more convenient for me. I never needed to use him until my AMWDW session, and even then, one of his volunteers drew the images of him.
If you still want to use that oc, I could make icons of him. Granted, I don't draw equines as well as canines or other things I tend to draw more of, but I'll give it a go! :^) I do have an outside life, so I won't be able to come up with a good amount of icons with various expressions until maybe the weekend, if I get the motivation, but I'll help if you want. I don't have an updated drawing of an equine I can show you, but my dA is Starstar87 if you want to look at my art style.
That's a rather unexpected offer. I don't really have any plans to make use of him as of now, so I'm not sure it would be worth your time. Though if you feel like drawing him just for drawing's sake, I could send you an image of him to show what he looks like.
You know man i understend you my oc is a dragon :D because i have always love them, when i first go into mlp fandom it surpirse me that im like the only one whit a dragon oc
This is only the third video by you I've watched, and I'm already hooked! Also your intro is awesome, never thought I'd see Irn Bru in a TH-cam video lol (it's my obsession)
Rasetsu Brony Okay so there are wolves. n the fandom.. but a coyote? It's nothig more than a Desert Scavenger.. and a Canine like a wolf.. but we're no wolves.. we're have a sense of Humor.. and a bit of Magic up our sleeves.. Plus I'm carrying a Colt 45 Peacemaker.. Loaded with 6 Pillows! (dagnabit.. what is it with me.. and Pillows Lately.. Maybe I need to get a few..)
Dudes, I made my OC a phoenix, originally my first OC was a pegasus. BUT I wanted to stand out more in the fandom, so, long behold Jwaly was made! With a enchanted scarf that allows her to talk XD (with her "Cutie mark" on it) So I understand Silver Quill's solution to adding a pony hind quarters to his OC. But What I really think people shy away from non-pony OC's because they consider them a non character or...*Shudders* Pets, so hey, Spikes a "Pet" so why can't I make a phoenix OC! in conclusion, I wanted to share my frustration and sympathy for non-pony OC's.
It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted my OC to be or look like. So what I did was put three of my most favorite Mythical Creatures/Animals together. Dragon+Cat (every wild feline in the world combined)+Wolf (Dire Wolf) My niece, said that the name was to long, so I put all three names in a Name Combiner. I searched until I found the perfect name: The Dracatolf! I wanted everything about my Character to be unique! So after I figured out the name of the species of my OC (I also made my Character the only one of her race for Extra *Uniqueness* ), I had to come up with the design (& dear Celestia that took ages) Plus I was also helping my Niece with her OC. So I went for the Body of a Dire Wolf, Wings of a Dragon (not the webbed kind), Retractable Claws of a Feline, Speed + Strength of all 3 combined, Fire powers (my character doesn't breath fire like a normal dragon) and Magic. Then there was the name and color palette 😑>_
I think you've confused oc with ponysona. An oc is a "random" character that doesn't really relate to real life. A ponysona is your pony self or somebody else's pony self.
Technically if it’s a character for a story based around a show or game it’s a FAN CHARACTER since it’s not 100% original, since it’s based off a show/game ect
So I'm sat here in my room; headphones in, eyes on the ipad, watching your channel... and so my Dad, considering my behaviour antisocial, calls me out to watch Doctor Who with the rest of the family. I found it really, really, REALLY difficult to explain why I started laughing so hard when the Doctor said: "I'm Scottish, I can complain about things."
I love listening to your commentary. I love the sound of your accent. your hats tartan looks close to my family colors. the clan McPherson. love your stuff. and why dos your pony avatar look like she is standing in a bog?
My oc is a winged deer. Her fur is brown, and her hair is light purple with a dark brown streak.Her cutie mark is a music note with a wing, and her name is Sanderling Symphony.
eh everyone remembers her killing the Hippogriffs but there's no sympathy for the fellow artist she killed, smashed through a table and chucked out a window. But all seriousness this was a great little vid. Especially seeing Mary sue doing the washing.
I am very unique. 1. I am a fox 2. I am not just any fox 3. I have fire powers 4. Have nine tailes 5. I AM A NINETALES!!! SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER POKEMON!!! MASTER OF FIRE!!! HARNESSER OF CURSES!!! Yes, I am insane.
I am pure Ninetales. Maybe a bit of Empoleon in my personality though... hehe.... definitely not part ice type. Definitely not. Otherwise, I would have killed myself by now.
+Camera Kitty im a eevee or umbreon in arts i have blue fur and light yellow eyes and the fluff around my neck is light mint green i wear headphones and in umbreon its the same but with mint green rings and sometimes i wear a white scarf with a silver bell yeah im weird and im CRAZY CRAY CRAY!!!!! HHSHEJHHHHUEHWHUE
I personally don't watch My Little Pony, but I have nothing against it. This seemed interesting to me, so I watched it. I noticed that during the video you said your OC was a type or Scottish fairy, and that just made me wonder: have you ever heard of a dulahon? It's a type of Celtic fairy that can survive a head. I first heard about them from an anime, and you probably had to look into types of fairies, because, I don't know about how it is wherever you are or with whoever you hang out with, but types of fairies from different nationalities aren't common knowledge where I am. So, it seems to me that you are interested in that sort of thing, so I'm just curious. But don't think you need to answer my question, because I'm not all that important.
First of all, I know it's Irish. That's why I said it was Celtic, which is another word for Irish. Second of all, yes. I did first hear of dullahons from Durara!!
I wasn't asking why she didn't use a dullahon. It's just that in my culture types of fairies isn't common knowledge, so if her culture is similar to mine in that sense, that tells me that she did research, which in turn tells me she's interested in the topic of fairies, so I was unsure how many types of fairies she knew of, so I was just wondering if she knew what a dullahon was.
See, this is why I get angry when people hate against Hybrid or Non-Pony OCs. We're just expressing our unique personalities and differences, not to mention displaying much more creativity. There's nothing wrong with them. Some people just don't want to accept that change.
Well, that was pretentious. "expressing our unique personalities and differences." And we don't have that? "displaying much more creativity." I have a unicorn OC. Am I just that uncreative and stupid?
Flick Wise well, then why do u have a pony as profile pic? i know, i got one, too, but my channel is named after him. if u can draw well, i would like u to help me with a project. if u have a Patreon account, i could even link it under every video of this project (5 seasons, 20 episodes each, and a huge movie).
My OC is a Pegasus, BUUUT shes acually a changling. Thats why she gets along with her channeling friend so much, she hardley knows the main six. What she does know about them is that she stops by raritys boutique sometimes to get her mane done and just like everypony else she knows twilight is the princess of friend ship and all that. So shes really just like everypony else aside from the fact shes a changling.
I do think your points are quite true and interesting, but I'll stick with my unicorn OC. I like the magical and uniqueness that a unicorn possesses, I just like the Greek culture that unicorns surround. It's my opinion though :)
Same here. I picked the unicorn species because it fits the best with my personality. Though despite that I've been able to create other original characters of varying races; despite this my one and only OC that represents me will continue to be a unicorn.
I like your point of view its good to know what you want and go for it, thats why my oc is a dragon, i always love them and when i saw spike in a rampage that was it xD my oc it has to be a dragon lml but like spkie whit out the wings y like more the idea of running and jumping than flying
I was a unicorn for a year and a half, mostly because back then I thought you could only be a pony. That's until I came across the Equestria Daily poll and saw that Zebra OCs were a thing. Since Zecora was and still is my favorite character in the show, I made my own zebra OC, Firefly.
Holly Martin Eh... not to burst your bubble or anything but... it's Pegasi that CAME from Greek mythology. Unicorns is actually(Whether you choose to believe it or not) points to coming from Indian mythology, no not the North American Indians, although that would be quite hilarious.
This is also the case in one of the first claims of Unicorns existence which was somewhere in Medieval Europe. I know I sound like a madman, but it's true. Another thing, is that Unicorns, contrary to popular belief, were never thought of to be Magical. That's just the way people thought of them as since they were so "Rare" back then(My guess is around the 14 to 15 hundreds). Just like how dragons were thought of as deities since they were also rare. But get this, Dragons were REAL. Just not the Western kind... I'm sorry, I went on a rant and this might have continued for a while, I apologize.
The bagpipes in your intro play one of the main songs of one one of the country’s I really want to visit, Scotland, especially Glasgow and famous Scotland’s famous towns and cities.
Snivy with Leafeon ok. if u wanna be that species for an oc, 1 learn to spell it 2 learn to SAY it then u can create a back story and AFTER ALLLLL THAT then draw it
Internet my oc is also a wyvern but it’s kind of a changeling wyvern with clearwings and holes everywhere from and incidental chemical spill with acid so CREATIVITY!!!!
True. Ahuizotl IS a real creature now and in fact he is based on the mythical Aztec creature called, of course, Ahuizotl. So his species is indeed a viable one to use.
ALso Centaurs, Chimeras, and Gargoyles (Scorpan) Though, what weird me is that Ahuizotl is named after the creature. Which sparks up an enormous mystery towards his character. And in the Daring Do And The Eternal Flower, he's either a demigod/regular mortal, so he's not an immortal creature of sorts. So something is a huge gap right there.
***** Wait, chimera? what episode was that? And I think Ahuizotl comes from a land far from Equestria, which is why he's the only one like him at the moment
***** Oh! Yes! Of course! THAT Chimera! haha when I hear "Chimera" I think of the medical condition, and not of the mythical beast. That's why I got so confused
Yes, very creative. Concering that this is a line of products and a Company itself. You should try to get something based on Looks, Personality, and all as such. Theres a few good tutorials out there to do so.
*Sigh* Another OC that makes no sense to have Flying and Teleporting abilities.. Also, you had to put "Raised by a wolf pack".. What else could she be raised by? A pig pen?
Hm, I see. Well, I'm currently in no position to judge on your Character, as I have yet to create my own, and may I say, you have rather Fluent Grammar for a Eleven year old. (Not saying in a mean way.) Most ten or eleven year olds have HORRIBLE grammar on the webs, and say some crap they shouldn't. But good on you. I'm sure I can have more time to think of how much time it must of taken. Take care, never the less.
Oh man had I have to laugh, even if this vid is a little older. xD But what you and your guests said give me to thought. I think I will "Overthink" my own "WIP" OC again, even if I have no Idea at the Moment in what direction he should go for now... ^^
I have made OCs before, but only for characters in stories I make. I can never seem to find a design or OC character that fits me as a person. With more species, there is more variety, but it is hard to have enough self-reflection to create yourself honestly and completely, especially if you don't really have a developed personality yet. I hate bragging, so it is hard for me to give an OC any of the characteristics of myself that I am proud of. In addition, any flaws that I notice for myself I try to fix, anyway. The only thing left is the personality quirks that make me unique... which are almost impossible to see objectively. Of course, it is not impossible, just really, really hard, and I find myself delaying in actually creating one. It's like I have to get my cutie mark first before I can make an OC. It's frustrating. Of course, I'm taking all of this way too seriously. But I can't bring myself to do something this important psychologically this wrong. (except when I tried making OCs when i first started... They weren't abominations, but... ugh... no actual character.
what the wolf said at around 11 minutes about wanting to create a pony oc just because they wanted to fit in is similar to what I did with my sexuality. when I was still in primary school, I didn't know much about many sexualities. I wasn't attracted to boys (the norm), yet dated boys only because I thought that it'd be weird if everyone else were getting boyfriends and not me. it wasn't until late year 8 that I realised what asexual/aromantics was, and that I was one.
So talking on this point. I had gone through multiple designs for my OC for MLP specifically before the one you see now. Starting as a unicorn, then pegasus. When those didnt really work for me i started to attempt to justify a male Alicorn OC but once again scrapped it when it wasnt working out. Then i tried a mix of a zebra and bat pony but still wasnt right for me. Finally after not having any ideas on what worked and the pain staking process of coming up with a cutie mark idea i said screw it and went with Griffon. Now it was challenging trying to figure what to combine for him but eventually i decided on the bird from where i was born being the eastern bluebird, the missouri state bird, and a mountain lion a native animal to colorado. I chose these two because i wanted to represent both states where i grew up (although my current avatar design is before that change was made). So despite being a pain to make an OC, it has proven to work out in the long run
Been contemplating making a pony OC for my self rather than character OC. This video has helped me decide what I'll be, thank you Ms Munchkin and Mr Silverquil. I will make a Rabbit OC, hmnnnnnn maybe a Flemush Giant? Hmnnnn but what about back story, could start with origins like he's talking rabbit from the the everyfree forest? Hmnnnnnn....
This video kinda reminded me of the creativity I have for my oc (He doesn’t belong to any franchise). I picked a really weird concept and now I think I might be the only person around to have a season themed dragon as their character to represent them.
Hmmmmmmmmm. *Starts pondering options for Non-Pony OCs.* Also, Mary Sue is the most hilarious mistake turned running gag ever. I both think she is funny, and yet want her to get tossed in a back room and forgotten. Thus, she is the perfection of her namesake. Also also, I really like the "Lord InsertNameHere." joke too. And, you know, the videos and commentary on the various subjects too. ;)
I have a pony OC of the pony called RedQuill but however I was thinking of making a deer pony hybrid with the same name RedQuill however I am not the best drawer in the world but it's an idea. What are your thoughts?
There is a website filled with all the creatures in the show and AJ used it to create my OC's pet which is the 2 heard dog thingy which I have forgotten the name for
What species is your OC?
Rikkaku is a Hippogryph in a non-traditional sense.
My main OC is a hydra with elemental magic, each head represents two elements and a different type of dragon that represents the elements of that head. I love elemental characters and creatures, so a hydra is a cool way of mixing these concepts
Shallow Waters is a Mistform, a type of peaceful windigo that originated from some weird daring do game ive never heard of ever
@@MadMunchkin I may not have a Pony OC but I have a Sonic different kind of OC
Does that count as a different kind of OC?
This was fun to work on and even more fun to see. Thanks for the chance!
Also, this is the first video where my character has ever blinked. Fun fact.
Awesome
Cool
Huh, interesting, pigeon boy
DONT WORRY SILVER QUILL!
I'LL MAKE A HIPPOGRIFF OC

Bronies worst fear is creating an oc that's already been taken. Finding a unique, never used before name is the worst part of the whole freakin thing!!!!!
Hammy Haven Here's a thought; make an OC that's not limited to just MLP.
Mad Munchkin like my griffon OC? i mean, i could write a book about him, send him on some adventures and even let the main character from the book i already wrote have a cameo (dont ask how)
anyway, this cameo thing is only possible because of a certain aspect of my book, which is kinda fun to write. imagine a mix of Discord´s hom world and Distortion World from pokemon platinum. i mean, goodbye logics and physics, hello fun.
I have 1 griffon wolf mix oc called a grolf 😊
Hammy Haven I know that feeling it took me two solid months of thinking about a way to make my OC unique before I thought I was ready to get him commissioned to be drawn only to realize I forgot some really base things like what his cutie mark would be.
Patchwork i had the same problem with mine. so first i made him and his family have a curse that they dont get cutie marks, which causes them to be skilled in many things, but then i went with the invisibility spell, which he can do at his age because he has a special talent for manipulating the psychological. he can see energy with a certain spell, which allows him to use the lock picking spell. but more info about him will be published in my spin-off series, if i find an animator.
Your character is so tiny compared to- practically everyone :)) it's so cute~
excluding Doctor Wolf... heh

Glad to be a part of this discussion Miss Munchkin. Though I think both your and Silver Quill's humor tends to be the most entertaining aspect here.

what about crystal ponies? My OC is a crystal unicorn.
Rocco Ten I don't think Crystal Ponies count either, sense they r pretty much just ponies crystalized.
Like Bat Ponies, Crystal Ponies are just a sub species.
Sonic Sega really any pony can be a crystal one if they go into a pool thingy
I mean, if you made a good character, and created lore around what being a crystal pony actually means for daily life, then I think that is a good idea.
But really, it still is a pony subspecies. Like bat ponies/thestrals or seaponies (which are awesome if done right).
Allen Holloway crystal ponies exist in canon.
Yes, they exist in canon. But they are not fleshed out at all. The only thing we know about crystallization is that it is affected by emotion and the Crystal Heart has something to do with it.
In order to make it a good character, you need to know things like that very well. The solution is to create a good head-canon about it.

It's hard to make your OC look original. You're constantly worried someone will call it "too mary sue" or "you stole your design from the brony artist" the truth is, because there are so many fans and artists, and lots of different art styles taken. It's difficult to find one unique to you, as your art style may be similar to another artist. However, as every artist is never EXACTLY THE SAME as another's work, it may be hard to find a medium that stands out, that makes people go, "That MUST be so and so's work, their style is VERY distinctive" Even if you stray from the four main choices, if you DO create an OC, like a wolf or hippogriff, there will always be people who say, "Oh, you copied Dr Wolf or Silver Quill" and that's harsh. The reality is, we, the brony community, need to be less critical about other's artwork, as their struggles to please you are many.
But I chose a timberwolf and a chewbracowbra
It's always off putting to see Dr. Wolf on all fours.
The funny thing about hippogriffs is that they were intended to be a sort of "When pigs fly." Griffons were said to EAT horses, so the saying went, "When griffons mate with horses."
Anyone else`s oc a deer pony?

Thankfully tricky fox has a video for the draconequus species
Mary Sue is my fav character from this channel already. xD

When you see Mega mind in the introduction and your like O MY GOSH I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVED THAT MOVIE.
i was once on DA and was making a character for a bronie RP. i tried making a robot pony and the bronies in this RP chat berated me because it was a robot.
They shall burn for dissing the superior race.
AJSSPACEPLACE
I've roleplayed with someone as a robot. It was fun discussing how bullets would effect them (it was Fallout Equestria)
I use a draconequus OC, and I too was berated. They aren't OP by any means (I don't roleplay anyway), but the species enough was enough to elicit outrage.
i scrapped all my non-pony ocs since a lot of them were called mary-sues
Hey that OC idea sounds awesome.
my oc is a changling that wish she was a pony.
I love this!!
Mine's a generic changeling drone that had to... leave (lightly putting it) the hive/colony due to unfortunate misunderstandings. They don't have much personality and their character is slowly being built up through roleplay.
That's cute!
my is an unicorn that wish be an earth pony
well there goes one of my OCs that were taken.....
I wasn't a brony when i made a drawing of my brony friends as ponies and I've had a goatee for the longest time so i thought it'd be funny if i ended up being a goat in the mlp universe, i drew him as an angry little guy and later (when I became a brony) during a joke with friends I said I'd live in Fluttershy's chicken coop cus she takes care of animals and my character would NOT like that at all.
I don't regret my decision xD
So . . . your OCs a goat? If so, awesome!
Yes, yes it is! haha thanks xD
Jonerico Always good to see a highly unused races OC.
Key Ring I personally really like Deer oc's
(before the comics featured deer)
Jonerico The most interesting one I saw was a Japanese deer-dragon, known as a Quilin.
0:23 how many legs do you need lol
painter Jade X3 According to Pinkie Pie about 19.
I think Mary Sue needs glasses.
Nopony can be this stupid :D
Mary Sue can. She's a Mary Sue. She can be anything. Including this stupid.
Mad Munchkin But I thought you two went to the wizard and got her a brain?
A more effective method such as hypnotism would be my first choose.
Kylan Thefox We did. She keeps it in a jar. She thinks its some kind of jelly fish.
I hope you have a label on the jar. It would probably be a nightmare if she got yours by accident or vice versa. I wonder if you would get her powers of extreme stupidity.
A furry pigeon? I...i feel as though I have been enlightened
I have an mlp OC that is a Chimera. (google it to understand) Her character is outgoing, but can be sensitive, she likes being in groups but can keep to herself at times. This lead a lot of people to be confused, social? Anti social? Outgoing? Scaredy-cat? No body really understood her, but that’s why I like her!
8:50 You left a sketch drawing or something of your hoof XD
I'm a cow.
I'm a cow.
I'm a cow.
I'm a cow.
I'm a FUCKING COW.
*not*
_CiaoMeow_ my oc is a cow though just check out my picture and channel
Meow meow I'm a cow i said meow meow I'm a NO!
Ah yes mine is part goat. Farm creatures unite!!
Watching this video again and I'm glad that not only do I have Raptor Claw, my pony OC, but have also created my own headcanon with a HUGE variety of non-pony OCs with Raptania.
Loving the new art style for your OC, Munchkin. Right alongside the design for the Team Fortress Crossover.
I especially love how well said art style looks on SilverQuill and Dr.Wolf. Secondly, I love your bagpipe theme music.
Could you tell me the name of the song, perhaps?
Lastly, on the topic at hand; if I had the ability. My OC would resemble that of a centaur
my OC is a ram
Awesome. Talk about stand out style!
I have one that's a ram/panda! :)
Fawn Videos Are they related to one of the greatest MLP villains ever, the dreaded GROGAR?
don't think I didn't hear "hedwig's theme" in the background-
I'm sorry I am a giant Potterhead
hence my main oc's scarf
You make me truly happy to be Scottish.
My OC is 75% pony, 25% panda. She's basically a normal pony except 1) her colouration is a bit different, 2) she's not as intelligent (and thus can't speak), and 3) she eats a different diet.
Sleepy Panda awe! She sounds soooo Kawaii!
Vixie
I have a picture if you wanna see :)

Sleepy Panda that.was.fricken.LOVABLE
That doesn't make any sense. Beyond not fitting with the lore of canon, if all that's affected in her design is coloring then you could literally take that piece out with no changes. Just making a random mix of species without being willing to stray from the norm of pony designs completely misses the point o this video. I would suggest choosing a species that would fit into the look of the show, if you're absolutely set on having a hybrid. If not, just make it a straight pony, there's no problem with that.
bananasinfrench Like I said though, she's mostly pony. Genetics aren't always distributed equally. I'm part Vietnamese, for example, but I look completely Caucasian.
Most of the difference with her is mental ability, not really physical appearance.
I only just found your channel today and I'm already being inspired in fact i've been thinking of making my own non pony OC for awhile. Now I just need to find a place to start.
Hm I thought of one OC that I believe hasn't been used at all yet which is a peryton a half deer half bird mythological creature that can be thought of as being good or bad in order for this mythical creature to mate it needs a human heart to do so. So yeah I used that creature as my MLP OC I thought that this would be original and I want to hear your thoughts about my idea?
Scottish to Irish/ Slovakian I'm actually Irish and Slovakian so that's why I said that
Now I want to see a peryton in the show. To fanfiction!
I mean I used my Mexican ancestry to use the chewbracowbra and I created a freaking kind but a little bit mad timberwolf oc XD
1:31 context is magic
11:00 - Yeah, I DO know, that lots of bronies might have similiar OCs, but God, this little pony right above white earth pony with blue mane looks almost exacly like my Iris! Or maybe it's InkRose... I dunno. But... Iris is an alicorn (please don't kill me ;-;) and has fox's tail and ears.
I keep thinking "hypocrite"
When you want to stand up for the youtuber but you can't bc you agree with the commenter lol
She's discussing it. Not saying it's a bad thing.
How?
That’s the joke
Funnily enough, the reason I created a zebra OC was from a poll on Equestria Daily. Out of all of the options available (core 3, alicorn, griffon, etc) zebra had the fewest votes. I enjoyed the idea of zebra OCs and wanted to see more ideas of what they'd be like aside from Zecora.
Most people don't know about my OC because I don't really have an opportunity to show him off. Aside from my profile picture and channel art, I wouldn't have gotten much use out of it. I also don't quite have the artistic talent to make drawings of him myself that I'd be proud of, so going without the OC was more convenient for me. I never needed to use him until my AMWDW session, and even then, one of his volunteers drew the images of him.
If you still want to use that oc, I could make icons of him. Granted, I don't draw equines as well as canines or other things I tend to draw more of, but I'll give it a go! :^) I do have an outside life, so I won't be able to come up with a good amount of icons with various expressions until maybe the weekend, if I get the motivation, but I'll help if you want. I don't have an updated drawing of an equine I can show you, but my dA is Starstar87 if you want to look at my art style.
That's a rather unexpected offer. I don't really have any plans to make use of him as of now, so I'm not sure it would be worth your time. Though if you feel like drawing him just for drawing's sake, I could send you an image of him to show what he looks like.
PieDislikerSwag Sure! It'd be nice to try something different for a change.
I'll hit you up with a message on deviantart, then.
You know man i understend you my oc is a dragon :D because i have always love them, when i first go into mlp fandom it surpirse me that im like the only one whit a dragon oc
This is only the third video by you I've watched, and I'm already hooked! Also your intro is awesome, never thought I'd see Irn Bru in a TH-cam video lol (it's my obsession)
The only wolf OC he knows in the fandom. Oooohhhh no no no! There is ALWAYS that one person in the corner with their pencil like
I have a wolf OC.
XXlunixXX In this fandom yeah.. there are few, but a lot of furry fans who became bronies already had wolf/cat/dog oc
Rasetsu Brony Okay so there are wolves. n the fandom.. but a coyote? It's nothig more than a Desert Scavenger.. and a Canine like a wolf.. but we're no wolves.. we're have a sense of Humor.. and a bit of Magic up our sleeves.. Plus I'm carrying a Colt 45 Peacemaker.. Loaded with 6 Pillows! (dagnabit.. what is it with me.. and Pillows Lately.. Maybe I need to get a few..)
"I get it now your a Squirl" I lost it at that line XD
Dr.Wolf is Best Squirl
It's squirrel.
Hello, I'm Marina and first of all I'd like to say it's mighty nice to be here!
Dudes, I made my OC a phoenix, originally my first OC was a pegasus. BUT I wanted to stand out more in the fandom, so, long behold Jwaly was made! With a enchanted scarf that allows her to talk XD (with her "Cutie mark" on it) So I understand Silver Quill's solution to adding a pony hind quarters to his OC. But What I really think people shy away from non-pony OC's because they consider them a non character or...*Shudders* Pets, so hey, Spikes a "Pet" so why can't I make a phoenix OC! in conclusion, I wanted to share my frustration and sympathy for non-pony OC's.
It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted my OC to be or look like. So what I did was put three of my most favorite Mythical Creatures/Animals together.
Dragon+Cat (every wild feline in the world combined)+Wolf (Dire Wolf)
My niece, said that the name was to long, so I put all three names in a Name Combiner. I searched until I found the perfect name: The Dracatolf!
I wanted everything about my Character to be unique! So after I figured out the name of the species of my OC (I also made my Character the only one of her race for Extra *Uniqueness* ), I had to come up with the design (& dear Celestia that took ages)
Plus I was also helping my Niece with her OC.
So I went for the Body of a Dire Wolf, Wings of a Dragon (not the webbed kind), Retractable Claws of a Feline, Speed + Strength of all 3 combined, Fire powers (my character doesn't breath fire like a normal dragon) and Magic.
Then there was the name and color palette 😑>_
GIANT PIGEON! Haven’t watched your stuff for a while but this was one of my favorite.
The pony and cat comparison is actually pretty accurate :0
My oc is a raccoon too ^^
2:57 Hey my oc is a bat pony MY KIND IS BEING RECOGNISED!!!
Hey that's cool I like bat pony are really 😎 coooooool
I swear - you guys have too much fun sometimes. It becomes infectious.
I think you've confused oc with ponysona. An oc is a "random" character that doesn't really relate to real life. A ponysona is your pony self or somebody else's pony self.
+Rosie Gray
ponysona also have a clear background and personality..
(agree with its not something RANDOM)
Rose Noppeee an oc actually stands for "original character". If you make a character, as long as it's your own and original, it's an oc.
Technically if it’s a character for a story based around a show or game it’s a FAN CHARACTER since it’s not 100% original, since it’s based off a show/game ect
So I'm sat here in my room; headphones in, eyes on the ipad, watching your channel... and so my Dad, considering my behaviour antisocial, calls me out to watch Doctor Who with the rest of the family.
I found it really, really, REALLY difficult to explain why I started laughing so hard when the Doctor said: "I'm Scottish, I can complain about things."
I love listening to your commentary. I love the sound of your accent. your hats tartan looks close to my family colors. the clan McPherson. love your stuff. and why dos your pony avatar look like she is standing in a bog?
I must say I love your beautiful Scottish accent to pieces.
"Behold my dark side of the moon"
My oc is a winged deer. Her fur is brown, and her hair is light purple with a dark brown streak.Her cutie mark is a music note with a wing, and her name is Sanderling Symphony.
Silver Quil X Mary Sue.
i ship it
I was thinking about it while watching the video (though Silver Quill and ILKPAL is cute as pickles).
no silver quil x mad Munchkin
Then they'll have little pigeon babies. Daaaaaaaaawwww!!!
***** yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
iWander have you listen to the song "I ship it" ?
Welll my mlp oc is a Gryphon, so am I good? ;3
I've seen this and 2 more videos.
You've already convinced me, you just won yourself a new subscriber.
eh everyone remembers her killing the Hippogriffs but there's no sympathy for the fellow artist she killed, smashed through a table and chucked out a window. But all seriousness this was a great little vid. Especially seeing Mary sue doing the washing.
Still love all the work you've done for that series Vector.
Vector Brony Aw, I'm sorry, Vector. :(
nah it's cool. I just found it funny. Poor Silver quill dies faster than a red shirt in Star trek
Vector Brony I know. Poor Filmsparks...
:P
Heh yep. poor guy was covered in that stuff and got killed.
Was this written before the New Six? I think it’s good they added the non pony characters the last couple of seasons.
Yes, this video is over 7 years old.
I am very unique.
1. I am a fox
2. I am not just any fox
3. I have fire powers
4. Have nine tailes
5. I AM A NINETALES!!! SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER POKEMON!!! MASTER OF FIRE!!! HARNESSER OF CURSES!!! Yes, I am insane.
I am pure Ninetales. Maybe a bit of Empoleon in my personality though... hehe.... definitely not part ice type. Definitely not. Otherwise, I would have killed myself by now.
+AbbRunner I'm a Darkrai with a Zoroark mother thus I have the Illusion ability. pretty cool.
+Camera Kitty im a eevee or umbreon in arts i have blue fur and light yellow eyes and the fluff around my neck is light mint green i wear headphones and in umbreon its the same but with mint green rings and sometimes i wear a white scarf with a silver bell yeah im weird and im CRAZY CRAY CRAY!!!!! HHSHEJHHHHUEHWHUE
+AbbRunner Ah yes ? If you are a SUPERIOR like you say... So why Smogon classed you like... PU in the top tier !? Hum ?
Marcus blazkowicz Umm... Smogon?
I personally don't watch My Little Pony, but I have nothing against it. This seemed interesting to me, so I watched it. I noticed that during the video you said your OC was a type or Scottish fairy, and that just made me wonder: have you ever heard of a dulahon? It's a type of Celtic fairy that can survive a head. I first heard about them from an anime, and you probably had to look into types of fairies, because, I don't know about how it is wherever you are or with whoever you hang out with, but types of fairies from different nationalities aren't common knowledge where I am. So, it seems to me that you are interested in that sort of thing, so I'm just curious. But don't think you need to answer my question, because I'm not all that important.
First of all, I know it's Irish. That's why I said it was Celtic, which is another word for Irish. Second of all, yes. I did first hear of dullahons from Durara!!
I wasn't asking why she didn't use a dullahon. It's just that in my culture types of fairies isn't common knowledge, so if her culture is similar to mine in that sense, that tells me that she did research, which in turn tells me she's interested in the topic of fairies, so I was unsure how many types of fairies she knew of, so I was just wondering if she knew what a dullahon was.
Alright, I can see why she was annoyed by that, and thank you for clarifying why you pointed all that out.
1:26 Looks more Griffon than Hippogriff with the movie out xD
The term "OC" is grating to my ears.
Why?
EntrancedSnow70
I dunno. It just does.
FWIW, I always thought "ponification" was better. Technically any fanfic character not in the show is an OC, even if it doesn't represent the author.
To me. I dont like it cause it reminds me of that horrible show of the same name.
***** Original Content ftw
:P
Seriously, in total agreement.
Now we have Kiren too, with hippogriffs
Yeah! My OC is a Kirin!
I like the video. Also, at 7:29 , I noticed that you're drinking irn bru. ^-^
See, this is why I get angry when people hate against Hybrid or Non-Pony OCs. We're just expressing our unique personalities and differences, not to mention displaying much more creativity. There's nothing wrong with them. Some people just don't want to accept that change.
*Shrugs*
Well, that was pretentious. "expressing our unique personalities and differences." And we don't have that? "displaying much more creativity." I have a unicorn OC. Am I just that uncreative and stupid?
No, you're not. People who hate on others who make non-pony OCs are. There's nothing wrong with a pony OC, nothing at all.
Flick Wise well, then why do u have a pony as profile pic? i know, i got one, too, but my channel is named after him. if u can draw well, i would like u to help me with a project. if u have a Patreon account, i could even link it under every video of this project (5 seasons, 20 episodes each, and a huge movie).
Huh?
What about tyandaga
My OC is a Pegasus, BUUUT shes acually a changling. Thats why she gets along with her channeling friend so much, she hardley knows the main six. What she does know about them is that she stops by raritys boutique sometimes to get her mane done and just like everypony else she knows twilight is the princess of friend ship and all that. So shes really just like everypony else aside from the fact shes a changling.
plus one subscriber for great animation and plus one like for great humor
hehe lord of pest control
I do think your points are quite true and interesting, but I'll stick with my unicorn OC. I like the magical and uniqueness that a unicorn possesses, I just like the Greek culture that unicorns surround. It's my opinion though :)
Same here. I picked the unicorn species because it fits the best with my personality. Though despite that I've been able to create other original characters of varying races; despite this my one and only OC that represents me will continue to be a unicorn.
I like your point of view its good to know what you want and go for it, thats why my oc is a dragon, i always love them and when i saw spike in a rampage that was it xD my oc it has to be a dragon lml but like spkie whit out the wings y like more the idea of running and jumping than flying
I was a unicorn for a year and a half, mostly because back then I thought you could only be a pony. That's until I came across the Equestria Daily poll and saw that Zebra OCs were a thing. Since Zecora was and still is my favorite character in the show, I made my own zebra OC, Firefly.
Holly Martin Eh... not to burst your bubble or anything but... it's Pegasi that CAME from Greek mythology. Unicorns is actually(Whether you choose to believe it or not) points to coming from Indian mythology, no not the North American Indians, although that would be quite hilarious.
This is also the case in one of the first claims of Unicorns existence which was somewhere in Medieval Europe. I know I sound like a madman, but it's true.
Another thing, is that Unicorns, contrary to popular belief, were never thought of to be Magical. That's just the way people thought of them as since they were so "Rare" back then(My guess is around the 14 to 15 hundreds).
Just like how dragons were thought of as deities since they were also rare. But get this, Dragons were REAL. Just not the Western kind...
I'm sorry, I went on a rant and this might have continued for a while, I apologize.
The bagpipes in your intro play one of the main songs of one one of the country’s I really want to visit, Scotland, especially Glasgow and famous Scotland’s famous towns and cities.
My OC is a diquodicus or how ha say it...
Draconequus?
Snivy with Leafeon ok. if u wanna be that species for an oc, 1 learn to spell it 2 learn to SAY it then u can create a back story and AFTER ALLLLL THAT then draw it
Nutmeg The noob of life *species :)
My boyfriend has called Silver a chicken.
+Anna Bernick
I kinda think he looks like an Albatross. Don't judge me.
+AbbRunner Silver makes me think of a Quail or a goose sometimes lol
+Anna Bernick might as well be
I'm still having trouble on which oc to make that would stand out so I'm choosing between Dragon and Lion...Why not both!
Give Mad Munchkin a break MARY SUE!!!
I have a fricken Bendy oc for my main stuff. Even MLP
I love how Silver looks in this style. Just beautiful
My MLP OC is a wyvern... IN THE MINORITY!
Internet my oc is also a wyvern but it’s kind of a changeling wyvern with clearwings and holes everywhere from and incidental chemical spill with acid so CREATIVITY!!!!
Timberwolf and chewbracowbra over here
You guys forgot to mention that Ahuizotl is now a real creature, and should be considered as a race. Rare race perhaps?
True. Ahuizotl IS a real creature now and in fact he is based on the mythical Aztec creature called, of course, Ahuizotl. So his species is indeed a viable one to use.
ALso Centaurs, Chimeras, and Gargoyles (Scorpan) Though, what weird me is that Ahuizotl is named after the creature. Which sparks up an enormous mystery towards his character. And in the Daring Do And The Eternal Flower, he's either a demigod/regular mortal, so he's not an immortal creature of sorts. So something is a huge gap right there.
***** Wait, chimera? what episode was that?
And I think Ahuizotl comes from a land far from Equestria, which is why he's the only one like him at the moment
Somepony to Watch Over Me? Erm...
*****
Oh! Yes! Of course! THAT Chimera!
haha when I hear "Chimera" I think of the medical condition, and not of the mythical beast. That's why I got so confused
I'm thinking of a chicadee harpy like being for me I'm not sure on how to design it though
1516, eh? also, non pony OC, right here. I have a draconequus OC! ^_^
+firetype55 I'm a Fox
I'm a kitsune.
+Sophieisakward “sophieisawkward” A kitsune IS a fox. Although a kitsune has magical powers.
I'm a deer with a unicorn horn 😉
+A Universal Hixel that's a lot of horns XD but love the idea!
Non-pony Oc's Rep xD
Yeah yeah homie!
Represent!
Silver Quill- behold my dark side of the moon!
Mary Sue-still looks like pigeon to me. Even from this angle. I love that exchange!
So.... now your basically Mary Sue's mother.
Small Snake
XD YAAS
My Alicorn OC name is Crazy Art
kinda cringy
Supreme GirlyGamer
that name was already taken by a crayon company
Yes, very creative. Concering that this is a line of products and a Company itself. You should try to get something based on Looks, Personality, and all as such. Theres a few good tutorials out there to do so.
*Sigh* Another OC that makes no sense to have Flying and Teleporting abilities.. Also, you had to put "Raised by a wolf pack"..
What else could she be raised by? A pig pen?
Hm, I see. Well, I'm currently in no position to judge on your Character, as I have yet to create my own, and may I say, you have rather Fluent Grammar for a Eleven year old. (Not saying in a mean way.) Most ten or eleven year olds have HORRIBLE grammar on the webs, and say some crap they shouldn't. But good on you. I'm sure I can have more time to think of how much time it must of taken.
Take care, never the less.
Oh man had I have to laugh, even if this vid is a little older. xD
But what you and your guests said give me to thought.
I think I will "Overthink" my own "WIP" OC again, even if I have no Idea at the Moment in what direction he should go for now... ^^
...............i ship Mary Sue with Silver Quill.
You wouldn't dare?
Mary Sue blinked offscreen at 00:07
Old video
I have a selkie oc. Calypso has a pony form yes but she spends most of her time as a seal and her seal design I have spent a while working on
OH MY GOD I LOVE YOUR VOICE!!!!
Totally subbing!
I have made OCs before, but only for characters in stories I make. I can never seem to find a design or OC character that fits me as a person. With more species, there is more variety, but it is hard to have enough self-reflection to create yourself honestly and completely, especially if you don't really have a developed personality yet. I hate bragging, so it is hard for me to give an OC any of the characteristics of myself that I am proud of. In addition, any flaws that I notice for myself I try to fix, anyway. The only thing left is the personality quirks that make me unique... which are almost impossible to see objectively. Of course, it is not impossible, just really, really hard, and I find myself delaying in actually creating one.
It's like I have to get my cutie mark first before I can make an OC. It's frustrating.
Of course, I'm taking all of this way too seriously. But I can't bring myself to do something this important psychologically this wrong. (except when I tried making OCs when i first started... They weren't abominations, but... ugh... no actual character.
what the wolf said at around 11 minutes about wanting to create a pony oc just because they wanted to fit in is similar to what I did with my sexuality.
when I was still in primary school, I didn't know much about many sexualities. I wasn't attracted to boys (the norm), yet dated boys only because I thought that it'd be weird if everyone else were getting boyfriends and not me. it wasn't until late year 8 that I realised what asexual/aromantics was, and that I was one.
So talking on this point. I had gone through multiple designs for my OC for MLP specifically before the one you see now. Starting as a unicorn, then pegasus. When those didnt really work for me i started to attempt to justify a male Alicorn OC but once again scrapped it when it wasnt working out. Then i tried a mix of a zebra and bat pony but still wasnt right for me. Finally after not having any ideas on what worked and the pain staking process of coming up with a cutie mark idea i said screw it and went with Griffon. Now it was challenging trying to figure what to combine for him but eventually i decided on the bird from where i was born being the eastern bluebird, the missouri state bird, and a mountain lion a native animal to colorado. I chose these two because i wanted to represent both states where i grew up (although my current avatar design is before that change was made). So despite being a pain to make an OC, it has proven to work out in the long run
Been contemplating making a pony OC for my self rather than character OC. This video has helped me decide what I'll be, thank you Ms Munchkin and Mr Silverquil.
I will make a Rabbit OC, hmnnnnnn maybe a Flemush Giant? Hmnnnn but what about back story, could start with origins like he's talking rabbit from the the everyfree forest? Hmnnnnnn....
This video kinda reminded me of the creativity I have for my oc (He doesn’t belong to any franchise). I picked a really weird concept and now I think I might be the only person around to have a season themed dragon as their character to represent them.
Hmmmmmmmmm. *Starts pondering options for Non-Pony OCs.*
Also, Mary Sue is the most hilarious mistake turned running gag ever. I both think she is funny, and yet want her to get tossed in a back room and forgotten. Thus, she is the perfection of her namesake.
Also also, I really like the "Lord InsertNameHere." joke too.
And, you know, the videos and commentary on the various subjects too. ;)
I would love to see a redo of this video since MLP the movie! The Hippogryff and merpony combo is interesting!
I have a pony OC of the pony called RedQuill but however I was thinking of making a deer pony hybrid with the same name RedQuill however I am not the best drawer in the world but it's an idea. What are your thoughts?
There is a website filled with all the creatures in the show and AJ used it to create my OC's pet which is the 2 heard dog thingy which I have forgotten the name for
