About two weeks ago my seven year old son asked to have my latest custom. I said no, not because he was a boy but because of all the mistakes that were a part of that custom. I am making him his own custom. I decided to make it a learning experience. I made him a form to fill out. For accomplishing certain goals each day he gets to fill out part of the form. The form has been filled out and now I will only work on his pony when accomplishes he reaches his daily goal.
I am hoping this teaches him about setting and reaching goals even when the journey to the goal is filled with hard boring stuff. I also hope this become a good reward system. Each time he reaches his daily goal he gets to see a little bit of the end goal. This reward/goal system can be applied to other things.
That is the back story, here is the problem. He is a boy, not a young brony, and not into “girly†things. I would like some suggestions on how to make the requirements for his OC custom more “guy friendlyâ€. I am thinking Mohawk, Clydesdale hoof, and possibly short-ish tail.
His requirements are; Twilight Sparkle bait, FBR red, mane is Dollyhair Golden Sun (http://www.dollyhair.com/nylonhair.htm) with gold tinsel, tail is Dollyhair Electric Banana with tinsel, yellow G3 style eyes, cutie mark is a 3D pink heart with a red heart inside (custom is based off G3 Love-A-Belle http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/File:Love_a_bell.JPG which is currently his only pony), matching penguin animal companion, and I need to use glow-in-the-dark paint.
 
I dunno, why don't you ask him? He seems to have a strong sense of what he likes already, so if you draw some sketches of your "guy friendly" ideas ( which sound good to me) and show him, maybe he could say yay or neigh (heh) to them?
 
He is [...] not a young brony

OR IS HE??

Aside from seconding DBM, it'd help if you said something about what he chose on the form and what other things he's into, seeing as how I've never been introduced to the wee tyke and don't know anything about him. ;-)
 
If he asked for your latest custom, what did that one look like? Was he interested in a long haired pony? Personally I like Fresians with their wooly hooves and long flowing manes, but no clue if that is what your son likes - Hope it works out to be something that he really enjoys - It's great because you could make anythink he likes into a pony- dragons, sports, even if it's just his favorite team or something- Good luck

I say he is not a brony because; he only sits through 5 minutes of FIM at the most. He shows no interest in my pony collection, the only ponies he can identify is the main 6, his pony sits in my collection and he doesnt care.
I thought he wanted a pony like my last one but he has assured me that he doesnt.
I am currently working on a fire rocket idea with the double heart as the head and the pony tail as the flame trail that rockets can sometimes have behind them. He is completely on board with this because he likes fireworks. Also the rocket shaft would be a great place to put his name.
 
Cool - A new Rocket Pony!
My son is in college, when he was a little boy, it would have been batman theme, a dragon of some type, or some Mario character. LOL
