Keep telling yourself that you have some kind of authority where how people express themselves is concerned. I’m sure you’ll eventually implode in on yourself and spare the rest of the world from your pompous bull.
When creating a ponysona, a person should consider theirself blindly. Who are they in personality? What do they think? What do they like? How do they act? How do they carry theirself? Unless a person is a glasses collector who feels they would be a lesser being if they did not wear glasses, their pony should usually not wear glasses; most ponies do not wear glasses. Unless they feel that without their freckles, life is empty, a person’s ponysona should usually not have freckles (as most ponies do not have them).
The majority of people who call out that the judgements I make are “too harsh” seem to push for more leniency based upon this premise. Most such people also fail to demonstrate any comprehension of the (admittedly sometimes esoteric) standards upon which I primarily base my judgements and/or the theory that most characters should look like most characters–that is to say, that most characters should look average.
Individuals have made exceptions to this generality on several occasions. However, they are still a small enough minority that I feel the generality stands.
In any case, you seem to be proposing that any pony not drowning in accessories, accompanied by a suetastic description, or simply a recolored vector of the main cast cannot be bad. I simply cannot accept such a notion.
Consider, for example:
>>216614
This OC is not overdesigned. It is not a recolor of the main cast. It is not overpowered. It is, however, bad; the overall score of this picture would suggest furthermore that my assessment of this OC’s quality is the prevalent opinion.
Therefore, I reject your proposal.
Things you imply with your posts to date:
Believe it or not, I’m not accusing you of meaning these things… but for your vehemence that you’re somehow objectively right about these points, it’s difficult to not see a level of hostility. Correct me as you wish, but do so without contradiction, as your core argument was solely based on it.
@Background Pony #CEEF
They are not based on personal preference. They are based on standards and averages.
Heaven forbid that portraying someone as a species totally different from their own should make their human eye color, hair color, freckles, and shortsightedness totally irrelevant.
Heaven forbid you actually base a character on what a person is and means rather than what they look like.
And heaven forbid you actually read my posts.
And you’re making excuses so you don’t have to enforce them in the face of canon contradiction. So perhaps it’s best you re-evaluate, and stick to “bad OC” meaning overdesigned, overpowered, a blatant recolor of a main character, or all at once.
Your “rules” don’t make sense; they are arbitrary, in that none have any basis except in personal preference.
And heaven forbid that the ponies have traits in common with the people they’re based on.
They’re general rules.
Bending the rules is fine, assuming you know them.
A few characters have freckles, a few have dark coats, a few have brown eyes, a few have brown manes, and a few have glasses. One even has a video game CM.
It’s the same way some people are colorblind, some are dark skinned, some are redheaded, and some people have male pattern baldness. Some of those conditions are rarer than others.
Rarer still are colorblind dark-skinned redheads with male pattern baldness.
It’s not that these OCs broke one rule or another. It’s that they broke several at once.
All but one of your rules are broken in canon. Troll harder.
I got plenty enough hugs.
I also developed standards, however.
These are low-quality OCs.
They’re supposed to be characters representing people in the real world if they were characters from My Little Pony.
Characters from My Little Pony, as a general rule, do not: wear glasses, have freckles, have brown manes and eye, have dark coats, play video games, or have video game related talents.
I would wager based on this picture that the man upon which the stallion is based is a brunet with brown eyes who wears glasses and plays video games, and he likes the color blue. The woman is probably a redhead or other very light complexioned person with freckles and green eyes who wears glasses. I have lots of useless information that’s not about the people these ponies are based on, but their physical bodies. Information that can be gleaned about personality from this picture is horribly scarce. These OCs were not well made.
I think Somepony didn’t get enough hugs when they were a foal.
And a too-dark brown-maned vidya-CM’d pegasus stallion. What a cliched bad OC.
