G4 Custom- Stuck and Need Help

Hello good people of the Trading Post.

I seem to be at the point where I have no clue what to do with this pony. I started with a G4 Rainbow Dash and rehaired it with a combination of Pacific Ocean and Black Magick nylon hair from Dolly hair. I don't know what to do for a theme for this pony, I can't even decide if I want to repaint the eyes or leave them the original magenta!

If anyone could help bounce ideas around with me it'd be great, here's a list of themes I'm trying to get away from because I tend to over use them.

Night *Darkness in general*
Water/Ocean
Dragons
Roses
Alice in Wonderland inspired.

What helps me when I'm stuck on a custom is going to Google Images and putting in one of the subjects I wants to use and searching for clipart or coloring pages of that subject. Example: dragon clipart or rose coloring pages. Clipart and coloring pages are often simplified, making them great for pony symbols. Don't copy anything--just use it for ideas. I find seeing something some else has done that would work on a pony tends to shake loose my own ideas.

Do you have pictures? I always try to picture every possibility in my head before executing an idea.
Sometimes I sketch. It helps to visualize.

Thank you everyone for the help, I'm sorry for not posting pics... I am temporarily not in a good place and can't even work on them * Sadness *.

What I've decided to do is paint it with markings based off a blue jay.

It and my Grape Soda pony are going to look awesome when I can get back in a good situation...
