    This thread has the intent for people who have created an OC, but they cannot think of a back story to find a cutie mark. Would you please start with mine?

    Ingot that is an interesting name I'm guessing the story behind that is a black smith. I didn't think of that profession thank you

    hey, why find a cute mark when you can make one or have it commissioned? It looks far nicer c:

    no one is truly bad at art, you just have to give it a try and the more you do it the better you get at knowing what you like and knowing what to make ^_^
    I used to suck at art, but I just kept scribbling and making silly stick figure drawings for years and eventually I learned how to make better stuff.


    anyway, on the original topic, I have an OC that's science themed but I guess I haven't really thought of a back story for him yet. This thread has made me think that I should go do that. xD

    I work for a die casting company so I thought it would be a cool name for a colt.

    I like to look at clip art for cutie marks.

    The one on my avatar is a clip art image that I copy/pasted on his rear, then colored it in Paint.

    well if he is science themed you should find a specific kind of science like i love physics in school so i made my based off that in the end. then i can help you from there if you want me to once i know that.

    what about a Human who was hit with radiation which caused him to change.

    Or he is the leading expert on molecular theory at the canterlot academy of science.
