New OC

Yeah, most of the best color schemes have been taken.

Considering the show's concepts are all based around pencils, and storyboards are done in pencils, you're bound to come up with designs that look closer to the show's designs. Drawing with a tablet or a mouse, or vectoring, are so different, y'know? And that initial pencil is so fundamental to the shape and composition of an image.

I love how cartoony your art looks. I do think something is lost in the precision and perfection of the computer generated vectors of the show. Not to take anything away from the look of the show, because the end result including the animation is fantastic (achieving a similar framefrate and fluidity with hand drawn art would be prohibitively expensive!), but hand drawn are has wabi -- flaws that make the product more perfect.

Drawing by hand also gives you that critical texture and resistance feedback. The texture of the paper pressing against the tip of your pencil, pen, etc. Wacom tried to emulate it in their 4th series of tablets, but all it does is wear out real fast.

Maybe after several more seasons, there will be enough background ponies with the same color scheme that people won't automatically assume that two ponies with the same colors must be related.

Hey, cool pony! She has hair like my new pony I know, I thought I had a cool one then realised I had twilight's so had to change it!

You're really good at drawing, you know!
