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.
