>>112351Its kind of cute as a zebra.
If you are asking for differences, those would be...
The stripes are going the opposite direction. Forward as they go down, rather than backwards. I guess that isn't really an issue because there's more room on the neck than the hind to put stripes anyways
The stripes should go almost to the bottom of the belly, but here they only go halfway or less. Maybe they should even change direction after halfway down the Zebra
That zebra is grey, whereas Cauldron is white (with more black). Maybe pony creator doesn't have white though.
That zebra has a long black top muzzle and a half black bottom muzzle. I envisioned the reverse, a half black top muzzle and a black bottom jaw.
Black Cauldron has a cutie mark - a Black Iron pot. I understand if that's not really possible to add.
The one thing that kind of bothers me is the mane and tail. The mane might just be too long, while the tail is definitely too short.
I figure that Black Cauldron collects debts, which is pretty masculine, and thus probably has some tomboyish inclinations to make her keep her mane and tail shorter. But at the same time she's not really super butch, and thus has no real reason to cut her tail the same as a stallion. She would, however, keep her mane short for a simple, practical reason. Black Cauldron is in a business where she is fairly likely to get into a physical fight at some point, and having long hair is a hazard in a fight, because your opponent can grab it, or bite it. I figure a tail is a little less of a danger in that regard, so she'd probably keep her tail longer (relatively) than she would keep her mane.
I think of Blue Skies. She is rather tomboyish, so that is a reason for her to keep her mane and tail shorter. She is also from a militarized culture and she admires the military, which is another reason for her mane to be shorter, as they would keep hair short. However, Skies has an overriding reason to keep her mane and tail longer, that being that Stallions in even vaguely traditional cultures expect girly girls to keep their manes and tails long, and probably usually think longer manes and tails are more attractive. Skies goes out of her way to try to appear physically attractive to stallions. This isn't just because she is a slut and craves male attention (don't discount those reasons either). It's because Skies, in her role as a secret police officer, is basically a fem fetal. She tries to lure in targets and get them to trust her and reveal information, or, alternatively, just think that she is a stupid bar slut and not take her seriously as a spy. So Skies would keep her mane and tail long, because she wants to be beautiful, kind of like Rarity. Rarity, however, has extensive knowledge about fashion and so can make her man have strange curls. Skies knows nothing about mane care, and so keeps it well washed and fine but simple and straight. while focusing her attention on her coat and feathers. Thus Skies has medium length hair that is fine but a simple style.
Cauldron does not have all of the same factors going into her needing to look pretty, as she does not work as a waiter, doesn't need to manipulate stallions, and isn't looking for a mate. So she is not as well washed or cleaned, her mane is oilier and even more basic, and her coat is more coarse. I figure that something like mohawks is probably culturally common for Zebras (and Cauldron is fairly traditionalist), perhaps because Zebra manes grow a bit differently from ponies, so she has a kind of mohawk but with hair that tends to fall down, and it's definitely not a complex style.
