Talon for ~Tornado~

Postby Acidic » Fri Jul 29, 2016 10:20 am

    So... As you can see, I changd a lot about this guy... (blush)
    I hope you don't mind.
    Let's see what I did change and for what reason...
    I changed his pallete because the whole white/neon blue thing didn't match his talent AT ALL. I stuck with the idea of falconer because I had no idea what you meant by rehab for raptors. I imagined a bunch of velociraptors addicted to drugs and alcohol. Doubt that's what you meant tho... If so, it's not really appropriate for a kids show like MLP!
    I gave him completely different hair because of this: He's shy and introverted. I feel like he deserves that classic "shy emo boy in the back of the class" haircut. As you can see, I switched his patterns up a bit, because I love patterns but I didn't want them all on there.
    And finally, his cutie mark! I really like how I designed this one. His previous cutie mark just doesn't scream 'falconer' to me, so I changed it to a lil bird of prey with a feather. It's not too much of a complicated cutie mark tbh, it took me like 5 min with a simple reference (click here for said reference b/c of copyright reasons i feel obligated to put this here) to do, and I'm not even a bird artist. I've never drawn a good bird in my life so I'm certain you can do it!

    Overall, I feel he looks a lot better like this, except tbh I think he's a bit cluttered. I only added the leg decals because my boyfriend said he liked it like that... I might go back and change that :')
    Edit: I changed the bits that I felt cluttered because screw you Steven (jk I love him to bits)

Oh he looks great!
Thank you so much it's interesting to see how you changed him to better fit his personality and talent
(As you can see younger me wasn't the best pony designer and this is a giant improvement)
Oh dear now I want a velociraptor that's addicted to drugs and alcohol that is a very interesting character idea
Birds, Reptiles, and The Elder Scrolls, and my drawing tablet, basically are all I need in life.

You're welcome!!
I tend to work around the ideas that people give me on what they do and how they act since ponies in the show are based around it (Fluttershy for example, she has long hair she hides behind due to her shyness, as well as Rarity, she has gorgeous hair due to her love of fashion, as well as RD, i could go on all day)
It's okay, as a kid I wasn't either :'D My ponysona was literally favourite colour + hair + crappy art tattoo (which made an ugly blue blonde pony with a basic mark)
Omg :') I'm tired okay, these things happen :'D
