I’m feeling unsure of myself, but I’ve gotten slightly bored with Nightmist’s description.... Don’t get me wrong, I love the appaloosa and the markings, but the gray color just sucks all the fun out of it....
If I were to change her coat and mane color, would she still deserve the name Nightmist?
And, if I were to change her description, would it give her a different feel? Would you all not like her as much?
I'd still love her! Misty the decision is up to you, I don't mind what you do :)
Aww, thanks Echo ;) I just feel like I’d be betraying her somehow.... And perhaps even be betraying Moondancer....
Actually, correction, not bored, but someone else has made a character that looks strikingly similar to mine, and I just feel like I’m doing something wrong :/ Even though mine came first...
OWO was it me...............
@Starleaf Actually, yes, but that was only because of the mane xD I’ve changed her coloring slightly enough to where they aren’t the same, but her coloring still matches a regular horse
@Nightmist OWO Im so sowwy OWOWOWO
Honestly, you can do whatever you want. She is your OC after all. And if you get annoyed about there being two OCs that look similar, I don't think your doing anything wrong. I've noticed that most people try to go for the more exotic coat colorings, and it's just a fact that there aren't that many exotically colored pictures of horses on the internet (which is kinda why both Honeyfall and Snowfrost are relatively plain in color). I don't think there is anything wrong with tying to use exotic looking horse pictures for OC inspiration, I actually think it's smart so that your OCs can stand about a bit, but you have to be ready to let someone else make a similar looking character.
On the other 'wing' I do see it can be quite annoying to have someone make a character that looks exactly like one of your characters, especially if it's your 'mane' character. One idea that I do have that might help deter this, would be to make your OC more visible. Like, for instance having a picture of them as your profile pic, or posting a lot of fan art featuring that character. I think this might help, because like I said before, most people like their OCs to stand out a bit, and if they can easily see that someone is already using an OC that looks similar, there's a greater chance of them not using that specific color combo.
I hope this helps a bit, and sorry about all the pegasus puns
Omg, I don’t know how you do it, Dragon, but you are amazing. Why can’t I just be as wise as you????
Eh, I just tend to over analyze things. Trust me, it can be very annoying at times
