Description FOR THE LOVE OF ART; READ EVERYTHING! Especially the BOLD comments!

I know I said the Goat was supposed to be my first and last pony related artwork...and of all the boyfriends in the world...mine had to be a bronie. Oh well, he keeps things interesting. ^_^
While watching the Royal Canterlot Wedding episode, we started to get into a conversation why the only Pegacorns you see in the show are princesses/females. Celestia, Luna and now Cadance? Where are the male Pegacorns?
The only prince we've seen in the show was Prince Blueblood, and he was a standard unicorn. You'd think a relative of Princess Celestia would have been a pegacorn by breed?
After a bit of debate, we got a bit curious, and since my boyfriend has no idea how to use photoshop, the task fell upon me to bring these boys to life. Basically, we designed them as male counterparts to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Meet Prince Sirius, the Prince of Space, and Prince Chronos, the Prince of Time.

Prince Chronos is obviously the elder brother. Named after the ancient Greek god of Time. Guardian of the flowing Sands of Time, and keeper of the Universal Time Stream. He is golden in color, and wears Silver/White Gold armor pieces with ruby gems. His Mane and Tail are done up in a Trojan horse style with a bit more flare, and they are remnant of the Sands of Time. Getting it to look somewhat flowy and sandy was not easy...and I'm not entirely happy with it. His "Cutie Mark" is basically multiple time faces, the kind you would find on a standard watch, stop watch, and clock.
Personality wise; He is very serious and to the point. He doesn't see the point in play and takes his duty as Time Keeper very seriously. He will occasionally scold his brother for irresponsible actions and playful nature.

Prince Sirius is the younger brother, Guardian of worlds, and keeper of the stars. He is named after the brightest star in the sky. He is Silver in color and wears Black steel/Gunmetal armor with Sapphire orbs. His mane and tail are done up in the similar Trojan horse style that Chronos also wears, only Sirius wears a Nebula mane and tail. I chose a nebula because it is scientifically believed that stars supernova to form Nebulas, and then the nebula cycles the remains within itself into a birthing of new stars. Kinda like a real life "Space Phoenix". ^_^ I do like how the mane and tail came out.
His "Cutie Mark" is designed to look like his namesake of the star Sirius. The larger size of the mark is to signify the brightness of this star.
Personality wise; Sirius, despite his name and brother's demeanor, is not at all Serious. He is a playful male, and loves to go galloping out among the stars. He likes to enjoy life and will sometimes try to get his older brother to loosen up and enjoy life.

I have to admit, it was fun coming up with their designs. And I purposely altered the male aspects to differ from the females to make them more distinctive. The male's wings are sleeker, more meant for speed, and they have the Pollex (bird's thumb) on their wings. The armor they wear is similar in design to what Celestia and Luna wear, only they are bulkier and appear more like a Yoke in style, giving these stallions more strength in their necks and chests. Their shoes are also similar in design of the princesses, but I added in the wings as reminiscent to the Greek/Roman god Hermes/Mercury, giving them more of a swift-footed look, and a more masculine appearance. And the "Crowns" they wear, I designed them to be similar to the helm that Nightmare Moon wore. I liked that style of head gear for a male, and it gives them a more distinctive difference from the princess's Tiaras.

These were not designed to be Consorts to the princesses from the show. I'm not that kind of fan artist. These were designed in fun, and we both felt that male Pegacorns needed to be brought to light.

I also made a "Base" out of these boys for folks to use to try and set up a foundation for others to design their own Prince Pegacorns. If you are willing to follow the Terms of Use, you can find the Bases here: Prince Pegacorn Bases

Oh, and I refuse to call these creatures "Alicorns". Before the Furry community adopted the word to define this as a species, the word Alicorn was actually used to describe the magical substance that the unicorn's horn was made of.
These critters are Pegacorns = Pegasus + Unicorn, or simply put; Winged Unicorns.
This is the true original definition of the word Alicorn. Feel free to look up the word in any original Non-Furry fantasy based book/website.


EDIT - Since people refuse to READ, I will put this simply; ANYONE WHO IGNORANTLY COMMENTS "These are Alicorns, not Pegacorns" WILL BE IGNORED, LABELED AS SPAM, AND CONSIDERED AN ILLITERATE IGNORANT TROLL. IF YOU WOULD PREFER NOT TO FALL UNDER THIS CONSIDERATION, LEARN TO READ MY IMAGE DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE YOU POST UP YOUR IGNORANT SPAM ON MY ARTWORK!

EDIT - Yes...there have been many ignorant people making these comments, and it gets very annoying that people don't read and feel the need to post something because they like to fall in with the fads and memes. Never seems to occur to them that there may be a reason why people like me do the things we do.

I never really think about shipping my OCs with Canon characters. 
If anything, they may look at Celestia and Luna more like siblings instead of romantic interests.

I am planning to apply this in an upcoming story idea.

Alright then, if you insist, i'll have to use the term "Pegacorn". (but seriously, the horn is just a bone...)
Starting off with the designs, you did quite well. The flowing sands design for chronos A.makes sense, and B.Looks good, and i can appreciate that. I personally feel that Sirius could look a bit better if he had a fading light-blue color to the tip of his wings, but meh. Normally, with OCs like these, i would take issue with the backstory, but here i don't see it as much of a problem, as it makes sense. You didn't give them abilities that would be outright absurd for who they are, and what they do. But in general, this is one of the few good pegacorn OCs i've seen. You, good miss, "Did it right".
Design:9/10
Backstory:7/10
Good work, indeed.

Thank you, although depending on the species of mammal, most horns are made of keratin or ivory. Antlers are technically bone but they are also not referred to as "horns" per say.
But when it comes to mythical creatures, their horns could be made of anything, but unicorns and their kin basically had their horns made of a mythical substance called alicorn.

Actually, I hadn't really developed them or their personalities much, but I do have what I'd like them to be like. So, I don't think it would be a good idea to rent them out for other people's stories and projects at this time. Maybe after further development, I'll consider it.

Leviathantamer [2014-02-01 09:43:00 +0000 UTC]

Are their horns transparent? Also I find the topic of Pegacorns and Alicorns rather interesting. It's rather easy to see which one is logically correct, however Alicorn just has a ring to it. Hence why they were labeled as such. Now as a question about these two. What rules of time do they follow? There's the Linear Fixed, Linear Flexible (also reffered to as Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey by Doctor Who fans), Linear Multiverse, or just Multiverse? If it turns out to be Multiverse, do you think that they have had contact with any other Space/Time Guardians?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

SaturnGrl In reply to Leviathantamer [2014-02-01 10:02:55 +0000 UTC]

No, their horns are not transparent, but their manes are, sort of like Celestia and Luna. Chronos is the only one associated with time. Sirius is the prince of Space. 

I did not develop Chronos with Doctor Who in mind. If anything, I think I based his rule to be more like Nozdormu, the aspect of time from Warcraft.

He basically has the ability to control, manipulate and travel through time, trying to keep it to one linear stable timeline. So, no, I don't think he would encounter time beings from alternate universes. His domain is his universe.


If someone were to try and alter time, by trying to travel to the past or future to create chaos and time instability, they would probably run straight into him before they could breach any of his enforced time laws.

Things like Twilight's use of Starswirl's time spell would catch his attention, but since her meddling with time only created a loop that only affected herself in a minor way it wasn't something he needed to step in to fix.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Leviathantamer In reply to SaturnGrl [2014-02-02 01:28:22 +0000 UTC]

Sorry it's just that as I look at their horns I noticed that I could see part of the nebula through Sirius' horn and the outline of Chronos' Mane through his.

I think that although you didn't develop him like that, a guardian of time is usually there because time could be altered. Linear Fixed is like someone killing Hitler as a baby then replacing him with a different one only to have that one turn out to be Hitler. So yeah, while it is Linear Flexible he does his best to keep it straight. Sound about right? I'm only asking because I'm trying to not get things messed up.

Also the only reason why I brought up both of them was because from what I know, Domains aren't usually as clear cut as they seem to be. An example of this would be a being that can manipulate space being able to control space in a different universe. After all, it's still space just in a different place. However as you have stated that this is a single universe this would never happen.

Is "Sands of Time" a Prince of Persia reference, or is it just a popular concept related to time?

Concept relating to Time basically.

No reference to the Prince of Persia games. I never played them.

Well, if Hasbro wanted to introduce Princes like these that would be interesting. But they probably wouldn't think this would be very marketable to little girls, so they probably won't invest in introducing new prince characters.

Thanks for the comment though!

Iowasi [2012-11-16 03:36:58 +0000 UTC]

I prefer to use alicorns myself, just because pegacorn just sounds.. off to me. But I'll respect your opinion, as it actually makes much more sense than just trying to not follow a fad. c:

Unrelated to that, these are very nicely designed ponies (horses? Not sure what this body type would be called)! They have smooth lines (haha, not necessarily related to how they're designed) and you seem to have put a lot of thought into their back stories. ^-^

As for why we haven't seen males ones - probably 'cause it's supposed to be a show for little girls, and they don't want the "manly tough" ponies being the same type of thing as the princesses are (possibly an explanation for Blue Blood). I thought Blue Blood was Celestia's nephew, but only distantly, distantly related - I think I recall an interview to Lauren Faust having that question, and answer.

I'll have to look up that interview sometime. But even so, I think you can have male counterparts in girl shows. Its proven successful in the past. You just have to make the boys "pretty"! lol

Iowasi In reply to SaturnGrl [2012-11-17 20:01:33 +0000 UTC]

I'm pretty sure there was an interview - if I'm spewing random fan theories, I apologize, but I remember an article being linked.

That is true, but I will point out that there are guy ponies in MLP:FiM, and the only thing "girly" about them is the fact that they are ponies. There's nothing wrong with having male alicorns/pegacorns/whatever, just that all of the ones they've introduced so far are female (and princesses), so maybe they don't want to confuse the primary audience?

Leviathantamer In reply to Iowasi [2014-02-01 09:45:56 +0000 UTC]

Seeing as of the release of Season 4 introduced a bit more of a serious plot (not much more serious but still) I think that they realized that their "Primary" Audience went to Miley Cyrus instead. Now they have a new Primary Audience that is very much capable of understanding everything shown.

I don't know why you are responding to this now, as my comment has nothing to do with the new primary audience. I was ONLY talking about the little girls that the show is aimed for, which STILL is little girls, no matter what you want to think (I have only seen a couple of the Season 4 episodes, and they aren't more "serious" than any other episodes).


I don't mean to attack, but PLEASE check the date of the comment you are replying to. Your comment has no relevance because I was not talking about the older audience.

Also what I was talking about was a guy's review on it. I agreed with the guy's perspective. Because I highly doubt that they would put Discord in a French Maid costume and expect young girls to get that.
