    I wish I'd vectored mine in time now rather than relied on the crappy photo that the Motorola Defy took. Mine looks like its in sepia tone...ah well...

    Still, this topic is interesting...I'm assuming we're keeping this strictly pony. The number of OC's I've made over the years is around 20 to 30 separate characters...

    Maybe I'll do two versions: Pony and extended.

    Anything in the MLP-verse.
    Ponies, Griffons, Changelings.

    Have a blast.


    And I'd prefer it if you guys would use pictures that you made specifically /for/ the contest. Posting pictures you've already had done defeats the purpose.

    3 questions.

    1: Does it have to be drawn by a human?
    2: Are there limitations on style?
    3: How stupid can the OC idea be?

    All I had to draw with was an IBM eraser. (Trackpads are overrated)

    Thus I drew my new OC, norman.
    Uploaded to derpibooru for simplicity.

    EDIT:
    Sorry about the fact it 503's after a few seconds.

    The actually absurd res doesn't work well for derpibooru it seems.

    You somehow managed to fail a quality control they don't even have.
    That's kind of impressive actually.

    1- Yeah, otherwise it defeats the purpose.
    We have to better than the machines and those damn orangutans.

    2- Depends on what you mean by style 8^y

    3- I mod the RP chat. My toleration for stupid is kind of moot here.

    Awww. I was hoping that I could make my OC Discord's older bro, Chaos, and then just submit perlin noise.

    Oh well.

    In that case, I bring you my OC: Fakanak

    He's a salamander from my weird PonyStuck AU. He had the unfortunate fate of being passed through the SBaHJ machine, and thus is forced to look like...

    this.

    I made a new OC.

    Her name is Jeffeny Twinkerbloom. She's a collage.

    I will try my hardest to show my crazy ideas in my head to paper, well not crazy just amazed what I think of and can't draw down without it looking bad, but I will try, and I hope for Celestia's sake no one bothers me when I try to be inspired to draw. >_<

    While not every OC I've ever drawn, I crammed in as many as I could into this image. If you OC didn't show up, its because I placed it into a different folder by accident. For the record, everypony -should- be here...

    In second place this week is Nobody
    (Sorry Grey, but the OP says to draw them, not collage them.)

    In third place this week is Nobody >3> ;-;


    And here's the finished product of Virgil's take on the topic this week:

    Aaand who's this sexy pony?

    I also decided to partake in the contest this week, so here's my take on it:
    [​IMG]

    The theme this week is a little trickier: Draw something melancholy.

    And thus I have proven I am the greatest artist in the world. You must now all bow before me. The fact that I won by default merely means you must also bow by default.

    In keeping with my winning streak, have melancholy art. The black and white is to add to teh mood.
