I might stop editing the first post until I feel like re-adding the swirl symbols.. same for my sig. For some reason they're showing up as something else, maybe it's just my computer. Anyway, two new pics of Swiss. I tend to obsess over drawing the same characters.. Hopefully I'll try drawing other ponies, the main cast or something soon. XD Profile pic for my Flankbook account. Which got Swiss mistaken for a girl. XD You may add me here. From scratch on Paintshop Pro 7. As you can see, I've gotten a bit better at posing! =D I had fun with it. :heart:

Updated all the old links since I'm still open.

Ooh, thank you. ^^ Understood.

(Sorry I have to keep deleting my last post and reposting here.. since I'm afraid double posting is not allowed?) In any case, updated.^^; Just an edit, but it was small compared to the work I did on a gijinka. Wondering if anyone would want ponyjinkas? XD Their ponies drawn as humans. Since I'm better at drawing humans than ponies, sadly.. at least I can do art trades and requests then. I did one of Violet Mischief earlier today for an art trade with Puck. Anyone interested in something like that? =D

Aha, thanks Ashi. ^^ (Now I don't feel so bad working so long on it.. =u=)

Sorry Ashi, the application is pretty much complete now. I just needed to buckle down and choose a name.^^; Edit: I decided with Haiku that Cinnabon Swirl would be his cousin too, and their fathers are brothers.

Ah I just saw her pic, she looks very mature and chic. ^^ I could see them being relatives or distant relatives. I'm not sure of his name yet, but if I choose Swirl as the second part I'll definitely consider this. She has dark brown hair? Though the fact it's so straight, either she straightens it or she's a distant relative. Something like a sister, ect. would probably have a curlier mane like he does. Then again, my pony may curl it himself. XD Though I'm not sure if mane style and color have anything to do with it.. as Applejack's family seemed varied. Let me know if you have any ideas or story-related ideas about the relation. So far I think cousins might be okay. I have a cousin (I currently live with) and have been friends since we were young. So it can be as close as a sister at times. Depending on her age, aunt and other relations are acceptable too.

I'll consider Medley Swirl, though the name doesn't make much sense imo. An assortment of swirls. I don't really want it to be Hershey either, mostly because it's a company name. Though a good idea. I've been busy, so I'll probably pick one when I have more time to focus on it. Feel free to keep posting ideas, sorry if I'm being picky. It doesn't have to be Medley either.

Thanks for the ideas, though I'm not sure if I'd want to name him after a food; like Chocolate Soufflé or Swiss Roll. Since, I'm sure the food exists in Equestria too.. Bakewell might be giving away his cutie mark too easily.. Stud Muffin made me laugh, but is the opposite of his personality; if you read his app. Would be a funny irony. XD Though I'd prefer something more fancy. Really want to use Medley probably, because I'm thinking he'll assume music is his calling before he learns about baking being an art form. So maybe not something too obvious.. Medley, meaning assortment and seeing as they have assortments of pastries/cakes on displays. I have some ideas, but I may take some time to think clearly or get feed back before deciding. Kind of tired.. Swiss Medley Cream / Creme Medley Choco / Chocolat / Chocolate Medley I made an attempt at a new cutie mark btw. I may use the word Swirl or Swiss in his name because it looks like one of these. I did two versions: Cutie mark with the cherry & without the cherry. Let me know what you guys think.

Adorable, especially the second pegasus. ^^ I'd like to see more. Earth ponies, if possible.

Thanks for all of the ideas so far. ^^ Although I'm not a fan of "de" in names, for some reason.. I'll probably be picky but come up with a name eventually, even if I have to research. It seems a chocolatier pony is in order. XD Which is fine because I like sweets and the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I will probably change his cutie mark to some chocolate/sweet related item. Also, this goes for how he got his cutie mark. I admit the idea was overdone because I was indecisive. Suggestions for cutie mark, how he got it and name, as well as anything else is still up for discussion. Other than that I'll work on them myself and fix up the app until it's ready. First of all, thank you for your help and compliments. Secondly, reformat my submission? As in take out the separate sections under character summary? (Ex. (Personality: Pros) down until (Family)?) I'l remove the brown notes once my WiP is complete, if that's what you meant. I did copy the exact application form, though. It has everything, I just sectioned character summary. The app will be shorter and unsectioned when I post it. Sections just help me develop. Another thing, I chose Canterlot because I don't know anything about most of the map.. Now that I've read about them, I agree he should live in Trottingham. Maybe traveling to Canterlot by carriage because well.. I like carriages. XD I liked the name Hoofington better, but that's more of a sailor/traveler town. Though a name with "ham" in it isn't exactly to my liking.. (Maybe not his either.) A name is a name and I know where the suffix originated, so it's fine. Thinking of leaving family out, unless someone wants to use the role or it helps flesh out his background. Originally I made up some family, for the reason to have a rich upbringing and residence.

You are, as I said "any mod or member". :3 Exactly why I noted preferring his name have 2 words, my brother told me about that character as well. I don't exactly intend to use it, but it's an idea for part of a name; or an example of sounds/meanings I like.

Ideas for my application? I'd appreciate it, if that's what you meant.

Thank you, I'm happy to see I did something right; as I've never joined a site like this before.^^ Any mod or member is free to help me out. I changed the thread title to asking for help too. I wanted him to be a new job/talent that the community would like or that isn't used yet; though I did see some similar apps about music, sweets and even writing. So it can even be something different. Thanks, have fun on your trip Ashi.

That's fine, I'm sure I can make myself clear that they aren't. XD Edit: Just in case anyone doesn't see this in the forums: I made my application. It's a WiP and I could use everyone's help deciding on a job, talent, name and final cutie mark. Something that the community likes or needs, that it doesn't have or have enough of yet.
