The Pony Raters

Submissions are currently: [Open.] [RATINGS] ◉ Poor → the overall design of your pony needs more than a little work. ◉ Fair → A few changes would make your design good. ◉ Average → A flaw or two, but overall a good design. ◉ Good → A good design, of course. Nothing really detracting from it, but a few things could make it better. ◉ Excellent → Perfect design! (maybe a slight color tweak)

This is Flipbook, she lives in a town I made up called Griffinclaw. Her Cutie Mark is (surprise surprise) a flipbook. She first got it when she watched an animated movie and wanted to know how they did it. She asked her mother and her mother told her they drew a bunch of pictures and put them together to create the illusion of movement, and she could do it too by making a flipbook. When she got home she went right work. It wasn’t very good of course, but she was proud of it anyways. Then she got her cutie mark. She isn’t very social, she spends most of her time either making flipbooks or drawing.

She was originally a newspaper writer because I wasn’t sure if ponies had movies, then I saw the Babs Seed song where they were in that theater and felt better about having her profession be what it is. 

Also, it’s my first time submitting a picture, so sorry if I did something wrong.

Ah shit they cute as fuck! The get an -Excellent- rating. I like their story a lot, it's simple, cute, and not too over done. Like artist ponies are a dime a ton right? But you set it up in away that makes it less over played, congrats. I'm also a SUCKER for grey purple/pink OCs like really.

[theponyraters]

Are we allowed to post more than one pony? I mean like not in one picture, but different OCS in different posts.

As long as you make them all on their own post ye.

[theponyraters]

This is Lula Belle.

Her talent,as you may have guessed, is singing. She uses it in her job, she sings and works tables at a late night cafe.

She enjoys late night flights,dancing,coffee, and has a cat named Roary.

She is fairly new and her CM is a work in progress, so I’m open to any suggestions for her.

(Base is by Shadow-Bases on DA)

She gets a -good- rating.

I am having a bit of a hard time understanding the cutiemark TBH, but it doesn't bother me too much in the end, and despite singer OCs being a dime a dozen I really like them. I can't say I've ever seen a bat singer either so props for that. In saying that, I would love to see a little something other then brown on them. Just the wing membrane being tinted some other colour would really make this pony look great I think. It's nothing to major, it's just a lot of brown on brown.

[theponyraters]

Hi there, I was wondering if you could rate my ponysona here! The pic was drawn by toodutchforyou, who’s submitted some OCs before! :D

Anywho, this here is Nightwrite, a batpony born in Shireland who currently lives in Hollow Shades. His special talent is writing, and he’s a freelance author, writing short stories and pieces for newspapers for cash.

He’s a dedicated writer, but is friendly and kind almost to a fault, willing to drop anything he’s doing to help a friend in trouble, despite how important what he’s doing is.

But at the same time, he’s rather quiet and hates confrontation, and has a bad fear of being abandoned by his friends and loved ones. However, if no one else speaks up when something wrong is happening, he will. He’s also very self-conscious about his work, especially when tackling new grounds.

Shit they cute.

I really like the cutiemark it fits the name, the talent, and very much seems like something you’d see in show.

I love how you’ve used different colours in small ways, like the eyes and hair, while they still [somehow???] go together?? Like tbh I want to say the green in the hair looks weird but I can’t because it somehow doesn’t???? What is this fucking magic legit.

I’m also a sucker for writer pones. c”: So points there.

They get an Excellent rating.

[theponyraters]

are you still here

No.

I completely bucked up my old submission, so I’m fixing it!

Name: Prince Nova Cutiemark: Insight Domain: Alicorn of Serenity

Nova was born as a descendant of royal bloodline, the son of StarDust and Orion. Nova at a young age is a talented magic user and problem solver, making him a rather helpful youngster. He grows up into a fine prince whom takes upon some nightly duties to ease the burden off Luna’s back, allowing her more time to spend with her sister after the many years apart. His duties however, stemed off into their own branch later on. Nova continues working as a night prince, watching and caring for all his subjects. I do not like alicorns that take place during the show along with the canon alicorns. I prefer them pre-show, post-show, and in AU’s where the current alicorns (Celestia, Luna, Cadence, Chrysalis(?), and Twilight) were never there, or never became alicorns.  That being said, I believe he is a well written OC, nice background that does fit into the show well in my opinion. The blues chosen look very well together, and I’m glad he is not starch white, though I wish he had a tiny bit more blue hue to the coat. The cutiemark is adorable, and I enjoy how large it is.  I have to give this colt the Excellent rating. -Sketch

[theponyraters]

Name: Artsy Scribe Talent: Creative Writing and Drawing Cutie Mark: Pencil

Made on Paint I believe he has potential. I love purple and green OCs, have one of my own. My suggestion is to change the the purple(or green, but I suggest purple) to something lighter, and not as vibrant. That would allow both colors to stand out without fighting with eachother for dominance. The cutiemark is nice, could use a little flare to make it stand out, but that’s really not anything big. I’d have to give him an Okay rating. -Sketch

[theponyraters]

Hope you don’t mind the two for one. I just ended up drawing them together.

Paint Drop

Talent: Painting, mostly adverts on roofs and banners she will later fly behind her as her side job.

She has been Shakes’ best friend since they were foals. She helps him with his chaotic deal with his rather chaotic love life.

Shakes( Cherry Milkshake)

Talent: Milkshake making. Works at a small shop with his father.

Shakes falls in love often, and hard. Drop has lost count of his number of coltfriends. Perhaps he is just too romantic for his own good. Paint Drop: Her color scheme is really cute. The stripes in her hair are a great touch. Her cutiemark stands out against her coat without taking away from it, or being an eyesore, which it’s fantastic. I can picture her covered in pant and looking cute as can be. I give her an Excellent rating. Shakes: I love his cutiemark so much, oh my. It is simplistic, but has just enough detail in it! Mane and tail color is great, red without being in your face, and the style matches the milkshake’s top. I do wish his coat wasn’t white, I believe a pale pink or green coat would be wonderful on him. Also, curly fetclocks would be a must if he were mine. I give him a Good rating. -Sketch

[theponyraters]

Her name is Sasha. Had her made one day since I was desiring something more than just a standard pony. What you think? Wowee, I absolutely adore her. Her color scheme is great, and desaturated, but allows her eyes to really stand out.  I gotta add, I’m a sucker for ponies with black scleras. Her design is perfect, really. My only complaint is that I have no clue what her cutie mark is, but I assume it’d make sense with her backstory! I have to give her the Excellent rating.  -Sketch

[theponyraters]

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about wait times and the likes, so in light of all that I have put together a little surprise for all still waiting!

A talented pony artist and good friend of mine, Sketch [Link NSFW], is coming on as a guest rater!

- Cyn.

[theponyraters]

How many pones do you have to rate in your inbox? o:

 About 10.

- Cyn.

[theponyraters]

Do you rate ponies based off of other fandoms.

As long as it’s an OC and not a pony of someone/thing of it!

- Cyn.

[theponyraters]

Another bunch of ponies I hope you’ll like.

From left to right; these ponies are Azura, Bumbleberry, and Honolulu Sunset. (Both have been rated here! (x)(x) I just tweaked their designs, mainly Lulu’s.) They’re a happy little family, Azura and Lulu being the mothers of their batpony son Bumbleberry. (I frickin’ love that name.)

Azura and Lulu’s talents are pretty much still the same; Azura is a surfer and Lulu is still a hula dancer. She mostly performs during beautiful sunsets at Haywaii and her performances involve a lot of beautiful flowers.

Bumbleberry hasn’t discovered his talent yet, though he’s quite interested in fruit based dishes.

Look at that chubby baby. LOOK AT THAT CHUBBY BABY. I love how the two adults contrast eachother, and how they look on their own is great. I love the white mare looks like she has this  dip dyed looking mane and the ons in the red one. The talents match up and everything.

Like I neever have back shit to say about your horses? They are so cute, always. Idk.

They get Excellent  ratings. Tell me more about the babyyy when it happens please.

[theponyraters]

Here’s Whitewood. He’s doesn’t usually say much but when he does, he’s pretty snarky and others have trouble deciding whether he’s kidding or being sincere. He’s a woodcarver who lives and works just outside of Canterlot, and his special talent is very delicate and intricate designs

HE’S CUTE HOW DARE YOU.

I love the blue/blood colour scheme. His cutiemark makes little sense with his talent to me but I don’t know much about what he does so I won’t really speak on that. I think he would befit greatly from some very simple markings; freckles, a muzzle spot, exposed hooves. Just something real simple, but that’s mainly because I’m not too fond of plain coats personally.

He gets an Excellent  rating.

[theponyraters]

Credit for the art goes to ThatDoodlingPony, no link due to NSFW content on the blog. Easy enough to find, I’d say. Character’s name is Muddle Mix, he’s a unicorn bartender from Canterlot (mixing drinks is his talent, hence the name/mark). A bit taller than the average pony, that’s about it.

I don’t see many red coated ponies I like, but I like him. I like the colours, the fluffy hooves. His cutiemark is pretty boring however. I feel like you can do a lot more with it, or even making it a jigger and not a glass would make it a little different but get the same point across.

He gets a good rating.

[theponyraters]

Her name is Sunny Blossom c: No need to rate the cutie mark by the way, I’m trying to come up with a better one as the one she has is very common to see on gardener OCs.

She’s cute, a little pink for me but that’s just my thought on the colour. I like the blond in the mane. Knowing eye colour would help me rate her, but it’s late for that.

She gets a good rating.

[theponyraters]

So, um, I posted a pony to here a few months ago and I am just wondering if you decided to skip it or didn't get it. She was called Sasha

I really have no idea. The inbox is so ffull it’s’ crazy.

Sorry homie.
