Drawings of a few different OCs in pencils & coloured pencils circa 2013.
(yes Gummy is caught in the frame of the 2nd picture, but clearly when I took these photos(God knows when) the focus was the OC).
Background
Rather than post my old drawings separately I thought it'd be easiest to patch them together. Looking at my original Twitter post, I noticed that the 'Norway-pony' wasn't actually included. Well Derpibooru, enjoy your exclusive content!
These were drawn during my time studying, particularly when I had already done work for the class, each of these characters are OCs of people I knew and I will give a brief detail on each:
Buizel: This was a design I 'came up with' for a Venezuelan Pokéfan who had a character at the time pretty much like this which I 'ponified'. The cutiemark is a buizel paw because of their 'interests' in paws in general. I am pretty sure I used one of those flash-based "OC creator" programs and then added/changed the relevant details to fit my friend's Pokésona… the deer-like hooves were definitely from the program specifically. Sadly, I haven't spoken to this person in a long time.
Unnamed Pony: This red pony with a 'Celestia' like frame, ankle-ribbon & candle-cutie mark was the OC of a Latvian friend of mine. If I knew where the original illustration was I would reference it here, but I essentially copied that out by sight as a gift for my friend. For many years we lost contact, and in recent years, I re-established contact. I am pretty sure he is on my friends list somewhere but we do not talk regularly at all anymore and he has long lost interest in the MLP fandom. If anyone recognises this pony / knows where the original is, please let me know.
Norway-pony: This was a design for a Norwegian friend. Not too much to explain here — just the Norwegian flag put onto a generic unicorn with gramatically incorrect Norwegian. From memory 'Norge-deilig' is literally Norway-delicious, it was supposed to be a reference to the whole 'Twilightlicious' and similar memes going around at the time. Of course the cutie-mark is the logo for Skyrim. My 2nd ever RPG at the time and my Norwegian friend spent huge amounts of time modding it to insane levels. I remember many Skype/Discord calls fondly, particularly watching Dragon Ball Z abridged with him, but it seems he went inactive on the accounts I still remember and associate with him. Wherever he is in the world — I hope life is going well for him.
And that about does it. Thanks for listening to my TedTalk :)
