Character Development: Dark Shine- Part 2

Hi guys! Next part of the Character Development series: Dark Shine.
Today, I'm going to talk about why I chose DarK Shine's colours as what they are.
I was always planning on black and white ever since I started to make Dark Shine/ Night Shine because I was and still am a huge fan of Zecora. I knew I wanted him to be part Zebra and I wanted that to show, so I went ahead adn added a black and white mane/ tail. Thats about it on the mane. Except the mane cut. I wanted it to look look Rainbow Dash for various reasons, yet I wanted it to have its unique parts. For example, Dark Shine, I gave only half the amount of stripes as RD's for the mane and tail. Meaning, I gave him 3. I wanted black to be the more numerous one but White to stand out a fair bit more.

Then we get to his coat colour. This I chose Grey for a few reasons. The first one being, I wanted him to look like a serious one, even though he is jolly as well. (I know not much sence but it is a reason). The biggest reason is that I had read a saying at the time which was: When the world goes black and white, there will always be grey. I saw that, and looked to his mane. Black and white go well with Grey.

Now for the odd part. His eyes. Pink. The biggest qualifier is my favourite colour is pink. That may make it look odd, however, it has become one of his signiature features. A dark colour scheme with the light in there.

Thats all for this time. Stay tuned till next issue.
