Please excuse my awful anatomy, ponies are hard as shit to drawn. I’ve gotten better over time but I’m still not great.
Here’s a more recent drawing of him.
His name is Final Destination and he’s a literal nightmare. As in, the mythical species of Equine. His talent is for headstone engraving and he works in Bitmarck (Bit + Bismarck) doing this job when the old engraver passed on. Sometimes he also helps out at the crematorium. But he is not a ‘gothic’, ‘emo’, depressed, angry, or bad pony. FD actually is a rather nice stallion despite his job. He works that job because he had a mentor that taught him about jewelry engraving as a colt but Final preferred to work with large slabs of rock instead of small jewelry. So his mentor got him a job eventually, engraving headstones, which he still has today. His wife’s name is Whitehot, and she’s a pegasus. Together they have a pegasus daughter named Read Between The Lines.
Final himself has an appreciation for stone. Because it is in stone, rock, marble, and slate…that he works his magic. It is in these slabs that he writes the final farewells for the dearly departed. So wants others to appreciate such simply complex things like boulders since they can be crafted into such beautiful things, like headstones and statues.
He grew up with loving parents and a sister with physical disabilities. Of course, he treasures everyone in his family and treats them all fairly. Final also has a few good friends in Bitmarck besides his wife.
I made him to be semi-Gary-Stu-ish, so if he seems that way then that was intentional. Ponies aren’t ‘srs bsns’ to me, they’re just a cute hobby.

I don’t quite remember who this was submitted by, but if you see this on the blog I guess you’ll know. I’m assuming this is a critique, right? Well for starters, I know you kind of intended him to be gary-stu-ish, but if you are like planning to use him as a serious OC some day then I suggest changing his name- and his daughter’s name as well. They’re just too long, and could you imagine calling somepony “Final Destination” or “Read Between the Lines”. Seems to be kind of long and sounds more like book titles.
Other than that, there’s not too much wrong with this pony, at least you didn’t make him like psycho/insane/homicidal or anything, so that’s good.
I know I shouldn’t really be one to talk about drawing ponies, because I draw them in my own style kind of- but here’s a little advice. When drawing the snout, make the spot where the snout meets the base of the forehead dip down kind of, like a concave slope. Hope I could help, I think this is actually a good OC, he just needs some touch-ups. c:
