So a few weeks ago my OC, Field Marks, was on an OC review show called "Your OC Sucks" (here on dA as). Don't be put off by the name -- they actually give constructive criticism. It's not a Terrible Ponies type of deal, despite the name. Anywho, they suggested that FM's color scheme was a little too desaturated and greyed out to really fit in the MLP:FiM world. I didn't agree at first, but after looking at it I can see what they mean. To that end, I've gone through and edited the colors a bit. I changed nothing but the saturation slider. Everything else should be the same. I'm not quite sure which one I like better, so if anyone has any feedback I'd welcome it.For reference, here is the original. If anyone sees this or cares, feel free to let me know which one you think is better or if there are any further changes you think should be made.Anyway, info about the character.

Main Talent(s): Bird identification



Cutie Mark: fav.me/d7hqoxe



Brief Backstory: Field Marks is an ordinary pegasus who grew up in Cloudsdale, and became fascinated with birds at a young age. She became very good at identifying them. When she was old enough (she is a young adult, like the Mane 6; about the equivalent of a human in their 20's), she moved to the surface to see them more often. However, once there, she noticed that her love for birds wasn't mutual. Animals (especially birds) tended to either fly away and hide or attack her until she went away. Being rather stubborn, she often tries to sneak up on them by hiding in clouds or bushes, or lays traps or food out for them to draw them in (somewhat like Fluttershy at the gala).

Creation Notes: I consider Field Marks to be a "semisona." That is, she's not exactly like me, but heavily based on my own interests and skills. However, I realize there is a lot of overlap here with Fluttershy. It's purely coincidental, though, believe it or not. I made her a pegasus because they are the most birdlike. She is from Cloudsdale because that is the pegasus homeland in the MLP:FiM world. Finally, the part about animals attacking her isn't meant to be edgy or anything. It's meant to do three things: add humor to the character (the biggest reason), separate her from Fluttershy, and provide a reason for needing and using binoculars (because what's the point when wild animals are so tame that anyone can walk up to them, like in the show?). Also, "field marks" is a birdwatching term. It refers to key characteristics of a bird that you can observe and use to help identify it, like a bald eagle's white head and tail.
