MLP OC

Medium: digital painting

I finally drew my little winged fire unicorn character in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic style! I designed the original character to represent myself online so as not to show my face in profile pictures, etc., so it's made to represent things I like and things that represent me.

The original character is a winged unicorn/alicorn (because it wasn't meant to fit into the MLP universe), but for this drawing, I just made her a simple unicorn because I don't want to presume that I'm somehow better than everyone else, that I've reached a higher plain of understanding, etc. I chose a Unicorn rather than an Earth Pony or a Pegasus because both Earth Ponies and Pegasi are associated with physical abilities, such as great strength, stamina, speed, etc., none of which that I have. Fluttershy is an exception to that rule, but I didn't want to make myself an exception. I'm definitely a thinker, and any physical talents I have are small-scale coordination, like art, not full-body coordination. I think a Unicorn works best for that!

The colors are simply my favorite colors (pink and orange), so no real self-analyzing there. I kept the fire mane and tail from the original design even though regular MLP ponies don't have special manes and tails. It was the key part of the original deign, so I kept it. I guess if I didn't paint it as fire, it would just be regular hair, but in those colors. The fire represents how I'm passionate - sometimes too passionate - about issues I care about. There are a few things in life that I'm "on fire" for!

The cutie mark represents several things. Obviously the heart symbolizes love, because everything I believe comes from a place of love, even though some people might have difficulty seeing that, especially if they're already opposed to what I believe before we even begin. For example, I oppose animal cruelty because I love. I believe all people should consider adoption first because I love. The starburst around the heart represents purity, so in this case, pure love. I believe love (including romantic love) can be pure and should not rely on physical intimacy to sustain it. Physical intimacy is a wonderful way to express love, but I do not believe it should be a crutch for love. The sparkles represent clarity. I believe in keeping a clear mind at all times for all things. Logic and rationality are very important to me, and while everything I believe is rooted in love, I view the world through a lens of rationality. Essentially, the cutie mark symbolizes truth and love.

Pygmy Dragon

Pygmy Wyvern
Medium: digital painting

Although small in size, Pygmy Wyverns are not members of the Fairy Dragon family. They are technically wyverns, as they lack forelegs. Their poison-barbed tail gives them the nickname Scorpion Drake or Scorpion Dragon. They live in hot, sandy deserts, and hunt by burrowing beneath the sand and pricking their prey with their barbs. The vemon is deadly and fast-acting, although not exceptionally painful. Even larger dragons give Pygmy Wyverns a large berth.

Pygmy Wyverns have been domesticated and bred by humans to lack their poison barbs. Domesticated Pygmies are about the size of small house cats or large squirrels. They enjoy being up high and will perch on their owners' shoulders if given the chance. They are very playful and intelligent.

Firefly Dragon

Members of the Fairy Dragon family, Firefly Dragons are about the size of robins or squirrels. They are a peaceful species, living off flower nectar, fruit, and occasionally supplement their diet with insects. They have no defense other than to fly away or spit a candle-sized flame, so they are very shy. They are nocturnal. Firefly Dragons communicate by soft chirps and squeaks and over longer distances by flashing their bio-luminescent tendrils in different patterns.

Because they have no way to defend themselves other than to hide or fly away, Firefly Dragons tend to make easy prey. Thus they breed prolifically, laying about a dozen eggs in a single clutch usually twice every spring. Both parents care for the tiny babies once they hatch. Firefly Dragons are unable to create light until they are fully grown. Bio-luminescence is the last stage of their growth and signals maturity.

Firefly Dragons have been domesticated and are kept as pets because of their small size, docile nature, and ease of breeding. They are intelligent and can grow accustomed to humans and learn not to fear them. Domesticated Firefly Dragons have been bred to have brighter colors and more extravagant wing structures than their wild relatives. The dragon pictured here is a wild-type Firefly Dragon.
