I felt compelled to draw Inspira as an alicorn for personal reasons. Alicorns I've always viewed as both powerful and wise, so Inspira as an alicorn in this sense is the ponysona of myself that represents not what I am now, but who I want to be in the future, a more skilled, wise, and stronger version of myself.

She's a nice pony. I especially like the multicolored wings and the strategically messed up mane.

If this is the definition of a 'flutterpony' then yes, the fandom does need more of these.

Thank you! :D Her mane was mainly supposed to be choppy, which is actually what my previous haircut was before I upgraded to a pixie cut irl. And Flutterpony I think is supposed to describe ponies with fairy/butterfly wings. Her wings are multicolored mainly for expression reasons and because the colors sync with her cutie mark.

I love this art. I wish my drawings were at least half as good as yours.

Thanks! I just practiced drawing different kinds of ponies and really analyzed their design, and took the time to learn my software.

The ones with butterfly/fairy wings, right? Yeah, I agree. :) I don't see anything particularly wrong with them myself. It's just another unique idea to me. I have seen a lot of people though who seem to have the same issues with those designs though as much as they do alicorn OCs, and I don't think it's healthy because it trounces creativity and encourages trolling behaviors, especially considering that sometimes they lack objective reasoning to argue such a position. :(

So you're saying that this OC of mine was so disliked that someone was mean enough to post this on a "bad OCs" page without my consent or even so much as a critique on how I could improve the design? And you don't seem too compassionate yourself about that fact. So if I were you, I'd either clean up my attitude and actually give me some constructive feedback on how I could improve the design instead of posting a half-assed comment laughing at it, or just keep your mouth shut. Thank you. :)
