I said Fallout ain’t no excuse for shit crazy pony designs, boy. Vault dwellers didn’t have green skin!

@Background Pony #2F1F  
tl;dr

@Pyre  
So… you’re saying her color scheme is good because all of the colors are taken directly from color swatch some pre-war organization used to identify itself, and she’s symbolically part of that organization? And that works, even though she looks scores of generations removed from the ponies seen in Friendship is Magic? I’m not buying it. The scheme may have symbolic value, but that doesn’t make it good.  
I dislike Littlepip’s color scheme because she, like Velvet, relies too heavily on neutrals (the sickly gray-blue of her coat and the brown of her hair). It’s boring and atypical.
 
 
@JeremyStorm  
From Fallout, we get the premise and general plot. From FiM, we get characters and setting. Even taking into account that reconciliation between the two universes would be a two-way street, there’s no reason to justify a design such as Velvet’s (or Littlepip’s, or Blackjack’s). As I stated previously: these designs appear like FiM ponies only in silhouette. There is no precedent in Fallout as to such radical design changes from the pre-war norm as you will find in the color schemes of these ponies.
 
In the pre-war Fallout universe, humans generally had skin that ran a spectrum from dark brown to whitish pink. Hair was styled in manners reminiscent of the Atomic Age in America (which generally lasted from the late 1940s to some time in the 1950s), and usually black, brown, orange, a yellowish off-white, or somewhere between those colors, gray, and white. In the post-war Fallout universe, humans generally had skin that ran a spectrum from dark brown to whitish pink. The exceptions were ghouls (the semi-undead victims of intense radiation) and super mutants (the victims of genetic experimentation). Hair was generally styled and colored the same as it was before the war, although the rise of the raiders seems to have introduced stylings more in line with the “punk” style of our history’s 1970s.
 
In the pre-war FO:E universe, ponies generally ran a range of colors limited to the pastels and a few (but not very many) bolder shades of some hues: Princess Luna was the darkest pony we ever saw, barring Nightmare Moon (who was some sort of evil entity in control of Luna’s body); Luna was an outlier herself, and a princess, to boot. Manes and tails were generally two colors at most (with all known exceptions at present bearing the title of princess), and the same colors as coats, but tending toward the darker shades of the rainbow. Neutral colors, such as brown and gray-white, were rare in both manes and coat colors; black was all but unheard of, especially in coats.
 
I see no reason based on the Fallout canon, therefore, why characters in Fallout: Equestria should have neutral-heavy color schemes like Littlepip’s or Velvet Remedy’s, or why colors should be so dark. Darkening the coats a little to account for a darker atmosphere would be valid. Making them black as Velvet’s would not.
 
 
@Nukechaser  
You don’t take character into account when you’re looking at someone’s character and judging whether they look like they’re normal; you take into account the norms of that setting. You wouldn’t say it’s fine that Roger from Doug has green skin because he’s a bully; you’d say it’s fine because countless other characters have bizarrely colored skin.

@Background Pony #2F1F  
So basically:
 
“She is these colors, and therefore, disregarding any analysis of her character motivations and flaws, I declare her to be a bad OC.”
 
That was a lot of needless pedantry for such a simple argument. Instead of trying to justify it using fake intellectualism, you could just say you don’t like it and move on. It also doesn’t help that her color scheme here is kinda weirdly drawn…
 
@Pyre
 
If anything, FoE is based more on Fallout than MLP.

@Pyre  
Yeah, people tend to forget that FO:E is as much fanfiction of Fallout as it is MLP.

@Background Pony #2F1F  
“Hey guys, I don’t like these character designs! They’re such bad characters in general because they look like this, and I won’t stand for it!”
 
Hey there BP. To me, it seems quite clear that you both don’t understand the characters well enough, and that you seem to have quite a hair-trigger for specific colours. I’d like to point out that Fallout: Equestria’s atmosphere is completely different to FiM in many ways. Almost everything in the story’s setting is nothing but a vast sea of dark cloud and murky brown earth. Considering how you’re claiming that a design is “bad” because of how they “stick out” in comparison to rest of the universe, I believe her design is acceptable. I say your point would be more valid if you used a Raider as an example.
 
Velvet’s colour scheme is that way because it is supposed to be synonymous with the highly-regarded Ministry of Peace colour scheme. Considering how her character is largely focused on how she follows Fluttershy as an example (for her motives, attitude and accomplishments), this actually does make sense in a way. I personally find that her black shade to be particularly soothing, and I can’t exactly figure out why. I think it’s got a nice balance to it.
 
I’m not saying her scheme is the best thing in the world. The eyes are certainly a bit of a bother; are they supposed to show her soft side or something, or to hurt our eyes? I’m also curious as to why you think Littlepip falls under this category as well.
 
I hope I didn’t go a little overboard here. It’s just that every now and then, folks like to waltz in and post an irrelevant “I dislike this” post. The lack of focus on the content can be irritating. Also, calling Velvet as much as an abomination may just be a loose cannon about to go off. Excuse me on that regard.
 
(Oh, and the reason why this is better in-context is because it is based on FoE characters, not just featuring.)

@Background Pony #2F1F  
Littlepip is an OC? I thought she was canon by this point :)

@Background Pony #2F1F  

@Background Pony #2F1F  
Good, embrace your hatred. Let the anger flow through you.

@JeremyStorm  
Only if you enjoy dark, edgy designs completely inconsistent with everything we’ve seen in the show, frequent oversaturation and overuse of neutral colors.
 
Look at Velvet. Just LOOK at her.
 
Tritone mane. Only Cadance, Twilight, Celestia, and Rainbow Dash have more than two colors in their mane, out of all the ponies in the show.  
She has a very dark gray (practically black) coat, as seen only on antagonists in the show; white mane as seen on a number of canon characters that wouldn’t go beyond ten if counted generously.  
Her blue-green eyes don’t go with her coat or mane, as both are neutral and are therefore inert; her cutie mark is also neutral and inactive in creating any sort of a genuinely interesting color scheme.
 
Disregarding all aspects of her personality and justifications about how in one or two generations living underground ponies might have selected against show canon phenotypes (as such would require eugenics in the form of infanticide, which seems a thing that would happen in one stable at most), I can therefore conclude that Velvet Remedy is a bad OC: she does not look like that which she is supposed to (a pony from MLP: FiM) in the same way that a rust-colored humanoid with yellow eyes and white-tipped black hair would make a horrible example of a normal human being. Littlepip isn’t much better.
 
I could enjoy an animation of one pony looking at another’s ass, frothing at the mouth, and then donning shades before returning her (or even his) gaze. I cannot enjoy two abominations of personal miniature equine design acting out this scene.

@V_for_Vodka  
Ohhhh. I’m such an asshole.

@HamburgerTime  
Med-X is Med-X in both Fallout and Fallout: Equestria.  
Mint-als=Mentats.

@Background Pony #E179  
I thought Mint-als were the FO:E version of Med-X. Like instead of Jet they say Dash.

@HamburgerTime  
There are other drugs in Fallout Equestria also.

They’re called Mint-als.

If I’m not mistaken, these are both female OC’s, so shouldn’t this be tagged as both “lesbian” and “suggestive”?  
(Should be tagged suggestive either way in my opinion)

@Background Pony #2F1F  
Nah, it’s even better because it’s them.

This would be so much better if it weren’t Fallout Equestria OCs.
