Faggots trying to be overly unique is how we ended up with eye-cancerous OCs like Zedwin.

I had no idea who that nigga was so I had to look 'em up (jesus fucking christ 890 images and only 64 of them are rated as "safe"). Solid 2.5/10 OC.
>blindingly bright yellow coat and B&W mane that'd never be used in the show
>heterochromia on top of an already aggressively mediocre design
>meaningless fucking name (pony names are usually a phrase or noun that makes sense and conveys at least a little bit of info about their design, personality, or both)
>cutie mark that has nothing to do with the character's name and also references tech ponies don't have
>by the looks of it, no personality other than being a ponysona
A good OC would look fine regardless of the artist's ability. Zedwin, on the other hand, looks like shit when drawn by a middling artist, and slightly less shit with a better one who has the sense to at least tone down some of the colors (like pic rel).

Heterochromia is an instant disqualifier. Attention seeking OC

If you do a pony where's waldo and you can find it at a glance, it's probably a bad OC. If you never find it. Also probably a bad OC
>>
>>42935590
For me, it's one extremely simple qualifier, that being if your OC can be put in the background of an episode like any old BG pony and NOT stand out, then they have a decent design. That, and knowing basic color theory, as well as what colors you'd expect from canon ponies.

I can already tell you the one in your GIF doesn't pass muster since brown on blue is an unusual combo that you'd never see in the show, particularly when both colors are on the darker side, since the show loves pastel; even that aside, brown by itself is surprisingly somewhat uncommon as a mane color. Green as a coat color is likewise uncommon but it's pastel enough (unlike the brown) that I could potentially see it in the show.
3.5/10. Not good enough to be passable but not so awful that it hurts to look at.

Any color works for a coat, IMHO.
I'd say green would work with an earth pony (because green is an earthy color).

I've posted this chart a couple times, but I'm not sure if the bottom two have been included before now.

>>42935590
It boils down to having a good color palette, consistent theme, and a believable background. Even characters that are farfetched from a lore standpoint can work if you find a way to reasonably explain how they fit into the world.

The edgy black-and-red alicorn OC is a stereotype for a reason; it breaks all three of the above rules. Characters like them are eyesores, don't make any thematic sense outside of being a power fantasy, and sure as Hell do not even attempt to rationally justify their existence within Equestria.

I wrote a story for mine and a handful of other characters. It desperately needs a rewrite though. I've since come up with a new cutie mark and the pacing is quite rushed throughout the story

I've seen Almond Blossom around. Always thought she was cute and wanted an opportunity to draw her.

>>42938155
I'd say like a three. There's not a lot of expanding to do with any of them aside from various scenarios that I could make into drawings.

I've been meaning to expand her story but been slacking on that a bit. One main thing is that she kinda sucks at magic because almost no unicorns despites the odd traveling merchant visits her village. So she never got to learn a lot more than levitation and illumination. She tends to forget to use her magic and picks up things with her hoofs and teeth though.

Totally, I choose not to use a canon town since in some ways I want her to be in her own little world (and can interact with other OCs on her behest lol). Hopefully I get down and start writing a little more than a bio for her.

Same for me. I try to avoid Ponyville and its residents. Only canon characters that exists in my writings are the royal Sisters since I think as sovereign deities they're kinda universally relevant. But they too are mainly just distant figures, everpresent in the world. I got this whole microcosm of little town written, 3 days trot north from Canterlot where all of my things seem to tie in.
