Description:
Not my OC! Dual Core is the OC of SuperSpyro3000, who let me use him for pony drawing practice, and the first pony I’ve drawn since 2012!
While my skills towards drawing ponies, specifically, have withered over time, they wound up being bolstered by everything else I’d learned in the intervening five years about color theory, shading, proportions, and good posing! I wasn’t expecting this to turn out NEARLY as well as it did, to be honest. I guess drawing ponies is kinda like riding a bicycle!
I really fell in love with this guy while drawing him, so here’s his Biography:
Dual Core was born with two horns, but unlike other two-horned creatures with magic, he developed two internal sources of magic instead of just one. Thus, he eventually gained two cutie marks, on the matching side to each horn. One side marks an affinity for flora, and the other, an eye for art.
Despite having double the horns and technically double the magic, he doesn’t have double the power of your typical Unicorn. If he so much as tries to use both horns at once (or, more likely, if he gets startled while using magic and both go off at once,) well, let’s just say bad things happen. Most of Dual Core’s magical skill boils down to the simple spells, like levitation. It doesn’t help that he was born into a small-town community with no real magic users.
But where di he come from? Well, in this story, Unicorns with the dual-horn mutation were once more prevalent, but for some reason unrecorded by history, they just up and vanished. Wiped out? Gone into hiding? Sailed away to a far-off land? ’Tis a mystery…
Still, some families carry traces of the Twonicorn bloodline. As far as anyone can tell, Dual Core is the first true Twonicorn to emerge in hundreds, if not thousands, of years; even so, the main reason he is looked at differently is more to do with his rumored powers, where he came from, and what in the world caused him to stir up such a destructive ruckus in Ponyville.
Lemme know what you think of the piece and feel more than free to share any constructive criticism! (Can anyone give me some tips or resources for drawing hooves at an angle?)
