Alicorn Oc - Blog Posts
It was simply a fun redesign for an old oc that got outta hand.
Meet my boy, Perc, he rules over this “Kingdom” near the ocean on beach-y shores made of black rocks called The Blackened Bridle.
Ive made a whole list of ponys, that ive also drawn and can’t fit here, that play into the Bridle. The Blackened Bridle is more of a city state than an active Kingdom, Perc, even as a ruling body within the Bridle isn’t actually nobility, its simply a title he had acquired when visiting Canterlot for being an alicorn. Its a place thats been isolated and in a near constant state of crisis by the Plunderseed, who’s adapted and change over the mullenium of its creation from the original plant, that has made its border, finding passage to this land only through sea.
Lots of ponies in this place either don’t do the talent or destiny marked by their cutimark mostly due to the state of the Bridle, most forfeit it out of duty for their families and the preservation of the Bridles history which is the Palace itself, an Archive of all the Bridles history to times as early as the Two Sisters coming into ruling.
Hence the Knight armor, more ponies find pride in Knighthood and defending the Bridle than following their talents.
The whole idea takes place not that long after Twilight becomes a princess, the whole idea behind The Bridle is exploring duty, passions (cutimarks), destiny and hardship.
Its really all for fun! Exploring these characters and making them is a total blast and a lot more than i can explain in one go lol!!
Lots of culture, history, character exploration, thats im super excited to info dump when i get a chance to!
Full reference sheet for Princess Starseer! Some angles didn’t get the glitter effect as I wanted to keep those angles more clear in order to serve its purpose better I got lazy
Queen Theodora Helia
character profile
Species: Alicorn
Status: Deceased
Cause of death: Changeling hoard assassination by sister
Cutie mark: a golden crown and set of victors laurels
Talent: Leadership in alicornhood, monster extermination
Known for: Bringing her Kingdom into an era of prosperity and growth, a period of peace.
She is a ruthless leader and war commander, this allowed for the growth of her country and the shrinking of monster populations in the area, wild and civilized kinds.
Born an alicorn, she was the first born daughter to her parents, her Sister ( currently unnamed) was born a Unicorn. both sisters studied under their parents, but Helia was taught the secrets of alicorn magic, as custom for the family line.
Helia was pronounced Queen of her kingdom once both parents had perished in battle to protect the kingdom from monsters. In this time after, she managed to take hold of the kingdom and raise it to its lofty standing it enjoys in the current day. She pushed back many species of creature that encroached on her land and people, creating safety within her land.
Some time after peace was mostly established within her kingdom, with an unknown father, or sired through magic, Queen Helia birthed her first and only daughter, Princess Alexandria. Once she found out she was with child, she took to writing and hiding secret texts on alicorn magic, so that should anything happen to her, her daughter might continue to follow her destiny as an alicorn leader and fighter.
At this point Queen Helia had developed an extremely trusting relationship with her closest and highest Mage, starseers father. Starbeam ( placeholder name )
Starbeam specialized in studying alicorn magic, but was extremely skilled in other areas, easily the best in the kingdom. Helia appointed him to be her magical consultant, they trained together and wrote many detailed manuscripts and books filled with magic notes and experiments. Starbeam was again appointed to tutor a young Alexandria in magic from an extremely young age, from the time she could speak she was learning magic in secret at her mother’s command.
After some time of tutoring Alex with starbeam, Queen Helia was pronounced dead after being attacked by a hoard of changelings that took her by surprise.
Notable achievements:
- created official royal magic schooling, and transferred talented young ponies into the care of tutors in the capitol.
- bringing about the most stability in her kingdom thus far, politically and safety wise, pushing out some monster species in the vicinity for good
- created magic texts detailing advanced general magic and the secret knowledge of Alicorn magic secrets
- Hired mages from each pony race ( earth, Pegasus and unicorn) to work together to enchant objects, write texts, and work together making discoveries and advancing magic knowledge.
- mothering and tutoring Queen Alexandria
Some pony references of Queen Theodosia Helia, Young Princess Alexandria, and child Starseer
Playing around with making my story primarily told in an anthro style, to make it more general audience and avoiding copyright stuff… idk tho
Not sure on how I want to stylize faces, trying between a mix of regular anime face and half pony anthro. I do love the elegant face types of the princesses in the Pony style in the show.
Size comparison between Helia, Starseer and a random Pegasus. Alicorns are huge and tall!! Alicorns are meant to be divinely charged protectors. they are powerful and fight monsters, gotta be a better size match up against those!
Crystal Pony Alexandria And Starseer. I think I finally settled on a cutie mark for Starseer. A crystal star.
