Her special talent is eating Goldfish crackers? |

Oh lawd. It's so...Sue-ish. |

If she was a real Sue, She would most likely be an Alicorn Type not a plain unicorn because that is what Sues are. She could be a fisherpony, I mean, as a unicorn she could easily catch fish in many ways. |

I think the only real red flag on this being one of "those" OCs is the dappled markings - they're just a little over-the-top and quite unusual for the world. That's not to say such a pony can't exist, it would just be much simpler (compare Zecora's stripes to a real zebra, for instance). |

KILL IT WITH FIRE. Or just glare at the sue.-_-. |

I don't find this sue-y. I find the black/red black/purple ones with flames shooting out of them sue-y. |

Sue-ish? Maybe a little.
Could be much worse, though. I say it's alright for an OC pony. |

Do you know why we don't see ponies with such complex colouring in the cartoon? Because they are a pain to design and animate, that's why. The animators had to cut a lot of corners to do what they have done. And people making original characters have every right to give them more complicated colouring if they feel like it. There is some limit dictated by common since, but this one pony is not crossing any lines. Although being coloured almost like a Siamese cat is fairly odd. Then again, they are not a part of the canon to begin with, there is no reason for them to "fit in". |

Seemed appropriate, given the conversation. |

The point is, Trombe, that complicated coloring is not on-model. If you're going to make an OC pony, you want it recognizably "pony-ish", which means sticking reasonably close to the established model. Too complicated, and it ceases to be a MLP. This one is pushing it a little. |

I think, 280163, that you might be being a little harsh on the OC in question here.
In a show like FiM, it's extremely difficult to find the right mix of credible and interesting. Having just enough uniqueness is key - too much, and its a Sue. Too little, and its just bland and unremarkable. So when an artist like this wants to pull away from the herd (no pun intended), creating a unique color scheme would be the most obvious, and probably easiest way to go about. tl;dr - A two-tone paint job and spots do not a Sue make. |
