Description Don't come after me with pitchforks, but it's another OC pony I made. I've actually had her design in my head for a while, but never drew it out.

She's actually weather based, just like Storm Chaser. Her name's Hawkeye if you haven't already guessed. I got the idea for her from the Storm Hawk, which is a "GPS handled mobile weather information system". They're typically used by hikers, boating crews, etc. Anyways, they're dead useful if you're in the middle of nowhere and need to know a change in weather conditions, especially if you're out on the water.

Moving on. I'm sure this is all of great interest to you...

Oh, and she currently doesn't have a Cutie Mark, 'cause I couldn't really think of one if you're wondering.

And yes, her colors are based off a hawk. Because I'm clearly just so creative, hahah.

Thank you very much for viewing~!

P.s. If you're possibly by chance wondering about the clouds, I used 's very lovely tutorial which you can find here >> [link]

....awwww, I thought she was a boy at first. T.T I'm so so dense, eh-heh.

Sowweh!~ Anyhow, um, this is pretty rad! Love her wing design. The smirk is a bit curious - okay, a lot curious - but I reckon it fits anyhow. Hawkeye certainly bolsters the sky's "radical" quotient! XD

Radical Hawkeye: Lamers beware!

Actually...She was originally meant to be a boy. Well, until I got to her mane, tail, and eyes. I decided she'd be better suited as a filly instead. But props to you anyways for figuring out she was originally a guy!

Oh, and thank you! Her wings were my favorite part to do. I wanted them to be a bit more elaborate than the typical pony wings, but still have that cute simplicity that the original wing design has. If that makes much sense, heheh. Hm, I was trying to give her a confident expression rather than curious, but curious can always work, too! I always tend to give characters curious expressions by accident, don't I?

Hahah, oh dear, your last comment there made me think forcibly of Gilda! Hopefully Hawkeye's nothing like her at all!

Nice colors, and I like the clouds overlaying her. Pretty eyes!

Thank you very much, Ed~! The clouds are courtesy of an amazing tutorial! I was surprised how nicely it actually worked out.

I followed your link to that tutorial and have saved a link to it. I don't have SAI, but it looks like something similar might be done with just Photoshop. (I hope so anyway! I'm glad you posted the link.)

I think it could probably be done in Photoshop, too. I don't have a super fancy version of it, so I've never tried, but I'm sure it'll work just the same! Oh, and yes, it really is a useful little tutorial! I'm so glad I fond it! Props to the user for making it of course!

Funny, I created an OC for my fanfic called Hawkeye recently too with excellent vision.

Hahah, man, I think this is the second time you've pointed out a similar pony to me. First with Frolic, now with Hawkeye. Sorry for any similarities! They really aren't intentional at all, I promise you.

It's total coincidence, that's all. Great minds think alike
