Description --overall tips:--

1. please don't just smash together the colors of the parents like in the top left!

2. blending + mixing colors helps create an original color scheme!

3. markings are okay if they're used correctly!

4. carbon copies and simple fusions of the two parents are discouraged!

5. deviation from the parents' talents and interests is a good way to go!

after seeing flashlight foals that all look the exact same, i wanted to try to help people make more original and logical shipping babies. so tada!!
i mean, come on, my dudes. the apple family members aren't identical and, heck, princess luna and celestia look totally different even though theyre sisters omg

Hmm, I have a few disagreements. The colors in the mane of the bad OC is not too many, it's actually not a bad blend! Although, coupled with the atrocity of her hair style, coat, and eyes of course it's going to look terrible.

Also, I don't think ponies quite inherit color such as orange eyes from Flash's coat considering genetics don't work like that, but hair can come from parent coats and manes like that since it's all just hair.

this kinda makes sense but this is your opinion people have there own opinions they make the ponies however they want the ponies to be like it sometimes has to be a mixture of both of the parents so the the ponies kids could look like them. sorry if this was rude but people do have there own opinions on here ponies

That's really good, you can tell who the parents are but it isn't too obvious.

nerdponies In reply to crystals-galaxy [2016-07-18 18:39:27 +0000 UTC]

its totally fine friend, i get your opinion ^u^

the thing is, a lot of people make 'mixtures' of the two parents, and all of the fanfoals start looking the same.
so i was just trying to point out some tips for people who noticed that!

i get your opinion on that to i was just saying that sometimes they have to look like the parents so you know there family but mostly it is your opinion for thisΒ

BlueRoseARROW [2016-07-02 14:48:08 +0000 UTC]

this tutorial has so many things wrong with it.Β 

Sweetie belle most likely got pink hair from an unseen family member.Β 
Blending fur colors isn't how it works all the time. If that's how it is than twilight wouldn't have purple fur, and pinkie would never have the overly pink colors if she is related to her parents.Β 
You never bring up; " if any family members of the character you are making a NG of, DO NOT be afraid to use some of their colors "Β 
or " If no family member for the NG's parent's are shown in the show, use any colors you want for the eyes/fur and mane as long as you also use colors from the parents"
Marking should NOT be used unless the parents have markings, cause it just seems out of place if you do use markings.

And I know this was made BEFORE flurry, but having the child of an alicorn NOT being an alicorn doesn't make it any better.Β 

But before you go making an alicorn NG, make sure 1, that all the children are alicorns or your oc comes of mary sue, and most of all
the parent must be a alicorn or everyone will hate it.

wind dancer is absolutely flawless omg!!

sweet melody is really cute but she looks like a fusion of the two parents
maybe take colors from aj's or fluttershy's extended family and substitute some? she's definitely not bad though so you can disregard that advice if you dont want to!
you did a really good job coming up with her talent and stuff though!

nerdponies In reply to DiamondStars1 [2016-07-09 14:20:25 +0000 UTC]

alicorns in mlp usually arent a thing unless theyre super important, so make sure you give them an important job if you do make them an alicorn!

DiamondStars1 In reply to nerdponies [2016-07-09 14:59:54 +0000 UTC]

But what if they're born an alicorn and they are a baby but they don't have important work yet
