A dumb fun little thing I did with my sister for laughs lol
We both decided to make our own individual "ponysonas" It seems that MLP:FiM is making somewhat of a comeback atm?? With the pony creepypasta disease trend that's going on rn, I guess that's partially what might've inspired this lol

This is her sona: Morbid Curiosity!
I'm not really one for making OC's or fan characters, but this wasn't some super serious attempt anyways so I figured why not XD

This is also the first time I've ever done something like a reference sheet! This was a lot of work for sure, more than I thought it would be yeesh lol Mad respect to those people that seem to be able to crank these out

In terms of design this was mostly decided by my sister with some guidance from me here and there c:
Her special talent is her "morbid curiosity" (haha see what we did there) in all things horror, occult, spooky, and supernatural
My sister was very adamant about not making her look "goth" as she isn't goth and this is supposed to be a sona, so we did our best to reach a common ground on something that could both work with the established design and something my sister would be happy with

Her Cutie Mark has a couple of different meanings: first, it represents the spark of intrigue for the spookier side of things represented with a candle over a skull (kind of like a lightbulb over someone's head when they're hit with an idea or inspiration)
Additionally, the image of a skull with a candle burning over it is a classic spooky aesthetic lol
Lastly, we decided to make the color of the flame blue to give it a spookier, ghostly appearance (also a traditional yellow/orange flame blended in too much with her coat color )

Anyways, that's Morbid Curiosity! I have my own "ponysona" that I designed and also plan on giving a reference sheet like this one! Like I said this took a bit of time and I don't have anything drawn out for it at all yet, but eventually it'll get done.... eventually

Hope you like it!
