Daww, can I have the Griffin Chick, Mud? Pweeeeease? :3

Candy shook her head once again, sniffing a little bit and still not quite realizing what had just happened. Truth was, she had never been able to control her naughty horn very well. But she couldn't wait until she was an all grown up filly and she could be able to control it. Because most of the times, it ended up messing up with her craftings or even with her playtime games. And the worst moments were when she had a cold, and kept messing around with her house. Which amazingly made her nanny laugh truly hard.

"This messy horn starts to gimme lots of trouble...", she mumbled, taking a few steps to reach for Starlight. "I still can't control the lil ammount of magic I possess.", she said, her ears perking down for a moment and a little frown showing up on her face. Even though she knew she couldn't quite take a hoof on her magic, that made her feel embarrassed when her horn worked out when it shouldn't. It was hard to get used to it... But she had to pull herself together and show she was no scaredy filly and it wouldn't be because of her almost helpless magic that she would hide from the world.

She smiled soon after and her ears perked up again. "But I'm glad I helped!", she squeaked, hopping in her spot for a moment. "Now the Mud Miss will be able to see her mud!", she then added, sounding even happier.

Candy felt relatively sad when she was told there were no flowers in there. She could use quite some of them to embelish her plushies, crafting them with natural elements. But when she caught sight of another foal like her, she took a few steps in his direction and smiled widely at him. She knew he was feeling embarrassed and pretty shy, but she loved everything in new friends. Specially in those of the same age as hers... She cocked her head to the side and smiled. "Starlight? I'm Candy Cotton.", she said, cocking her head to the other side and then looking at the plushie over her rear. "And this is my little bunny.", she said, making the plushie jump a bit on her back. She looked back at the rainbow maned foal. "What seems to be the neigh all about huh? Something wrong with this mud cart?", truth was, she hadn't even realized there was some sort of a problem going on in the spot she had just arrived in. While she awaited an answer, she looked around and saw another stallion she still hadn't seen, looking at him closely. "Wish I had magic in my own horn that could help you out with... whatever it is.", she said, sighing as sadly as her honest heart told her to.

Little did she know how wrong she was. When she looked up at the stallion, his red mane had tickled her small nose, which made her twitch it quite some times and try to avoid a sneeze. However, it was helpless. A huge sneeze -for her size that is- came out, making her be projected backwards. But it wasn't the only thing that had happened with that sneeze. A little ray of light came out of her blue horn, hitting the branch on the wheel just in the right spot, but without Candy's control. It broke into tiny pieces, disappearing right away. The young filly shook her head in amaze, looking around.

The young foal was going off, prancing happily by the side of the road, and hopping to the middle of the trees every now and then. A little pink bunny plushie seemed to be resting on her back, but for her, it was mounting her and entering her joyful games. It had been, of course, a creation of her own, made with the patches she had found along her way on the previous day. Little Candy just loved to explore Ponyville all by herself, even knowing she was pretty young and couldn't risk getting in danger. Her nanny was at home, tidying every single one of her hoofcrafted plushies and her own bedroom, which was usually a mess because of all of the games she played in it. She stopped, inhaling the sweet scent that danced among the breeze.

With her eyes closed, her nose started to catch some weird scents. Flowers?Could it be? A smile formed on her sweet little face and she found out her way right in that moment: follow the road. She just had to find the source of that magnificent and earthy smell, that could give her so many ideas for plushies. Yes, it was weird to think that way, but that was the way little Candy Cotton's head worked at the time. All the time, plushies in her head.

She pranced for some more time, until she managed to catch sight of three ponies around a cart. And the cart was full of... something that discouraged her big fancy smile to keep growing. It actually smelt like something pretty different actually, something she didn't quite know what actually was. She took a few steps to reach for the small group, and poke her head in the middle of them.

"Do you have flowers in there?", she asked who seemed to be an older filly.

Sorry about asking, but could you tell me where you got the template of your foal image?

Well, I'm in an animation course, and I think I can understand some of those errors...

For the painting, it's exactly what everypony's been saying: when there's a tight schedule over one's shoulder, an animator just rushes rushes rushes and uses the same colour several times. As some of you might know from Photoshop, painting a drawing includes many layers. In these cases, the background ponies or for example the cakes over the table were in some layers that needed to be filled.

To start off, the storyboard is a guideline for any animator. The changes of plans, camera visions, or mood swings of the characters are all scratched up quickly to have an idea of how the episode will be. Then, they enlarge those spaces and fill it with animation until the next sudden animation "frame" (let's call it frame, because in a storyboard there are very few of them), and unlike main characters, the background characters have no 360º mirrors before they jump into colouring and animation, They are just drawn up and set into stage.

Since to make close-ups and similar animators still use transparent paper, it is possible that several parts had gone missing from sheet to sheet.

For the young Candy Cotton, it was just another day of fun in the middle of her plushie wonderland. Most would say a foal shouldn't be doing such a hard work everyday, but what they didn't know was that Candy loved to do that more than anything in that world. She mumbled several songs to herself while she crafted teddy bears, bunnies, ponies, and even little critters with her own hooves and mouth. And when she was done with one piece, she laughed out loud to herself and started a new one.

"Which one did you do now? A bunny?", asked her nanny, approaching Candy with her light trotting and making a smile grow wide. Candy turned around quickly, still giggling. "Nope. Just another teddy bear. My favorites!", she said. Her nanny made a short pause, dee within her thoughts. "Hmm... what if that teddy bear could tell you you are his favorite too?", Candy seemed puzzled after that. Even more when she saw her nanny's horn lighten up and her teddy bear start to blink his eyes and come to life right in front of her. She blinked several times, and when she rubbed them it was too late and her teddy bear was running to the outside through the front door. "HEY! COME BACK HERE!", the foal yelled at the top of her lungs. She raced the purple plushie as fast as she could, but still it wasn't enough.

Without noticing, she bumped on a tall golden stallion and only managed to see her plushie run away in the gap between the stallion's legs. "COME BAAAACK!"

In a clippity clop I managed to explain so ^^ If it's still too confusing just lemme know =3

I've edited it to make it simpler. No more parents mess or horn/wings for that matter.

Oh, Candy Cotton sounds great!

Thanks Mudbug ^^ *clops clops*

(she's a foal, but I'm still struggling to draw foals ._.)

Name: Candy Cotton

Gender: Female

Age: Foal

Species: Unicorn

Pelt Color: Baby Blue with three little white dots close to each ear

Mane/Tail Color & Style: Both are curly and with two tones of light pink

Eye Color: Dark pink

Cutie Mark: None yet

Physique: Normal foal

Residence: Ponyville

Occupation: Plushie stuffer

Motivation: To get her cutie mark and to work her way up to make the best plushies in all Ponyville when she grows up!

Likes: Plushies, candy -specially cupcakes, the colour pink, rattles, ponies who like plushies, animals

Dislikes: Rainy days when she can't play, ripped off or broken plushies, arrogant ponies and yogurts with fruit pieces

Character Summary: This young foal is a young and innocent spirit, and loves to please others with her gift of making and loving plushies. She learned to make them all by herself, simply because of the fact she never leaves without a little stuffed companion by her side. She doesn't know how to draw, but she always says that when she learns how to do so, she will draw everything she sees and turn it into a plushie. As for now, she simply imagines it in her head, and dreams about it in her crib at night. Because yes, after all she's just a baby. Buuut, she is a baby UNICORN. So she feels lucky for having that little bit of magic within her to have fun. The bright side of this little foal is the simple fact that she mixes and matches several fabrics, knotting them all together so they can form a clear and pretty figure. It's an art, there's no doubt about it. Candy can make you a pink bunny with a wide smile on its face or a cuddly teddy bear for you to snuggle with. And all of this, with no use of scissors or needles! That's why she must be very careful at her choice of patterns and sizes, because only one little bit out of place and the whole plushie is ruined.

There is no touch of evilness inside this foal. She's still afraid of the Boogiepony and even of the teeth pony, nevertheless she still likes to stargaze when she can't sleep. Her unicorn mother died when she was born, and her dad is a farmer working far away from there. So now she lives with a baby sitter, a filly that is basically her best friend in all Ponyville.

She has an explosive personality, and she can make friends pretty easily. She likes to talk to ponies of all ages, either males or females. And because of that, she gets into several messes when she is exploring by herself.

She still has no place of her own in Ponyville, but people often come into her house to see her wonderful collection of plushies, or to get one for themselves. That's why she's so proud of herslef, and of course of her little horn.

I know there's probably a pony like this somewhere else, and if so, feel free to step on my hoof and warn me xP

Well, I might just use another idea of mine then, that is certainly easier to work with. Do you think you could delete this whole topic so that I could clear everything up.

Thar ^^'

I feel so embarrassed for these many errors T^T

Edited it uh-gain xD Sorry about all the fuss and changes, but it's pretty hot in here and I think my brain is starting to toast <.<' So feel free to warn me if there's still something you want me to change.

So many artists! It makes me jealous that my artistic skill is limited to the written word. Welcome to the forums!

Hehe, all the more to draw your requests, Dio. :3

Bem-vinda ao fórum, Kalpira! É um prazer encontrar outro Brony.

Omg falas portugues? *faints*

Edited ^^ That better? Added a few details and thought about her story a little bit better.

Oh and BTW I used one of your ponies' makers

Name: Candy Viper, but just call her Viper

Gender: Female

Age: Filly

Species: Pegasus

Pelt Color: Dark grey, almost black with white dots on her legs

Mane/Tail Color & Style: Mane is long, curly and extremely silky. Tail is very short and almost spiky in the end. Both mane and tail are fluorescent pink

Eye Color: Blue

Cutie Mark: Cracked skull

Physique: Slim and fit, with an authoritary look

Residence: Dragon Moutain

Occupation: Sorceress and dragon tamer

Motivation: Revenge from what her past brought to her in the present, and the belief that princess Luna still has her evil side inside of her. She knows every single pony has an evil side, and that's what keeps her going to bring it out

Likes: Dark clouds, thunderstorms, dragons, muffins (secret passion), crows and dead trees

Dislikes: The sun, princess Celestia, happy-go-lucky ponies, ponies that think they're better than her

Character Summary: Viper's heart seems to be darker than anypony else around. That's why she moved to the Dragon Moutain, every since her little inciddent... Her voice seems to come from the guts of a viper, all due to the bitterness it carries. She isn't evil or mean, she's just honest and does what she likes the most: play around with the world that surrounds her. That often involves messing around with ponies, or simply with the environment, and that's why nature-loving ponies hate her so much. But she doesn't care really. She just wants to have fun in her own way, just like everypony else. Her pinky-ish attitude only remains in her mane and tail, imply because she likes to be different from everypony. Overall, she's just a pretty in pink punk pony. She just wants to smoke her cigar and smirk at the world.

About her accident you ask? That was not too long ago. Little curious Viper went out to explore Dragon Moutain, but her explorations went a little way too far. She ended up waking up the sleepy dragon at the top of the moutain, which made him go mad with her arrogant presence and throw her against the wall. After that, she just remembers being at Ponyville's nursery, with six pieces of metal replacing the bones of her wings. From that day on, Viper returned to the Dragon Mountain to face the dragon again, but that just made her metal structures get dirtier. Who got tired of playing was the large dragon, who left that lair. Viper took that chance right away and kept the dragon's spell and potion books, and a big part of his treasure.

Now only the ones who dare adventuring into Dragon Mountain can meet her... or when lurks down to Ponyville or the Everfree forest to get some ingredients.

Welcome to the herd ^^

And yeah, Fluttershy is the cutest thing on earth :3 I am a gamer as well, even though with school now I don't have that much time to play really --'

Oh, another roleplayer *.* I'm sure you'll have tons of fun around here =)

Thank you Manestream!

Actually, I already have an OC of my own. But that will be hepful anyways! :3 I will surely apply with my OC as soon as I can, so that I can have the opportunity to roleplay with all of you guys ^^

Hello there!

I'm Daniela, but just call me Kalpira or Kal. I'm 18 years old and a 2D and 3D student. I have a dog and two male guinea pigs. I have two tattoos, and three piercings right now (because I had 5 piercings a while ago) What I like... I like MLP of course, horses, drawing, Pokemon, charms and candy. Yay for candy! 8D

Ehem, alright, moving on. I've been in a previous roleplaying forum, however it was only based on Neopets and that virtual pet site has become ridiculous, mainly in a matter of true money to dress up pets. You could only be "cool" in the forum if you were a good drawer or wrote a book for a roleplay reply. Of course I'm a literate roleplayer, but being almost 8 hours in front of a computer connecting dots and modelling difficult objects, I get tired to keep a roleplay going if it is that long. However, I love challenges and good roleplayers =)

What else, what else... My main language isn't english. I'm a portuguese girl. I think I may consider myself as a candy punk girl, because I love being innocent but at the same time I defend what I believe in. I've been into MP for a long while now, ever since the series has started, and when the ponies were still slightly chubbier and had an odd look. With this new series, I can explore more into my own school course, and of course get hooked to the show! =D *welcome to the heeeeeerd*

Well, that's all about me ^^
