Because I want criticism that I wouldn't get had I simply put this with the others. It seems you can't bump threads anymore.

This seems like a good enough place to try out my newest OC:
Name: Cecil Lux
Race: Pegasus
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Personality: Very intelligent, quick in tongue, and notably optimistic.
Occupation: He's a night watch. He wanders around places he's hired at and guides ponies home, breaks up fights, and watches over the people.
Equipment: A candle (for guiding ponies home) and his voice (he is a strong singer).
Weakness: Ponies that are persistently pessimistic. He cannot stand them.
Current Residence: Edge of Cloudsdale nearest Ponyville.
Cutie Mark: A candle enflamed with stars.
Abilities: Ponies are mesmerized by his singing. He is very charismatic, and ponies just seem to come to him whenever they are sad or are in need of help. He is not a fast flyer but is very agile, able to keep himself in the air no matter what position he is in. One of the few ponies that can keep an upside-down glide for over 20 seconds at a time, but that may just be because of his large wings.
Backstory: Born with a depressed family of four on the heath between the Crystal Empire and Canterlot. The family had been exiled from Cloudsdale because they had stolen food several times before, none of them being talented enough to do their proper jobs to earn bits. Their cutie marks were faded, near grayscale. The wind blew cold but the sun beat down hot.
This foal lived buried in sadness, but when he saw the sun after the stormy clouds went away every week, the tears faded and a smile shone on his face. His parents and sister could not understand his happiness. Cecil, as he was called, simply told them how pretty it all was. The rough grass and the slow-rolling hills, the bright ball of fire hanging from the sky... It was all so wonderful. The young foal did not understand the dire situation of the family, but his optimism brought something to it that they never had: light.
The parents could only barely feed the family, asking for food whenever possible. Cecil began to grow and understand things, and went to school along with his sister. His teachers immediately recognized his intellectual ability, but failed to find his talent. He was a stammeringly powerful singer, and people who heard his voice loved it, but he never considered it to be something he would pursue as a career.
One night, at home, he heard a knocking on the house's door. Being in the closest room to the entrance, knowing the others would wake up soon, he grabbed a candle, lit it, and opened the door. It was a mare that seemed to be around 25 years of age, so a young mare, but certainly not old. The foal, only about 7 at the time, asked the mare what was wrong. The mare told him she could not find her way home, as it was a moonless night on the plain, and everything was pitch black. With the candle, Cecil guided her back to her home. The mare simply thanked Cecil, and they never saw each other again. Cecil enjoyed the satisfaction of helping someone who was lost.
He walked back to his home and quickly fell back asleep.
The next morning, while washing, Cecil looked at his flank and found it was not empty. In bright colors, a white candle shone, enflamed with 3 bright red stars. His parents were very pleased, but were also sad that he would soon be going off to master his occupation. Before he left, he dyed his wings gold, and took a cape of pure white and a charm of pure blue. He found that his somewhat bland fur coloration of gray and black did not represent who he was as a pony, so he changed it. He promised that he would provide for his family as much as possible, and make them comfortable. He then regained the ability to enter Cloudsdale through connections between him and a certain pony within the Royal Guard, and from that pony to Princess Celestia. Cecil was then hired by the mayor of Ponyville as a temporary night watch, and he began mastering his agility and began to learn how to break fights and persuade. His oral skills became stronger, and his muscles became stronger as breaking fights sometimes gets you into a few. He was happy.

Writer's block is definitely awful, artist's block must be 10 times worse. You can just start writing random words on paper and begin to make something (stream of consciousness), but that doesn't work with art. For art, it seems as though you have to know what and where everything is and goes.
Of course, I'm only an artist in that I write music. And writer's block for music is REALLY bad. Music writer's block is a wall. To fix it, I listen to my favorite songs and stuff I've never heard before for inspiration.

2013 Nov 28, 00:15:49That's pretty stupid. Right now the only thing I'm annoyed with is how the buck I'm going to arrange this song for 5-part orchestra
It's something I'm doing on my own time, and the difficulty level seems to perfectly match my school's top orchestra exactly.

Music / Re: What are you listening to?

"GASP!" Bright Pen awoke. "What an awful dream. I'll need to write it down. Brother! Can you get me a quill?"
"Brother...? Ugh, where is he. BRIGHT SWORD!"
"He must have left. What time is it?" Bright Pen looked up at the clock, which had stopped at precisely 9:12. "Strange, that clock has never stopped before." He brought the clock down with his magic. "There's no sign of anything wrong. I guess I'll just mess with it later... First, I need to go find my brother." He charged his horn for a teleport all the way to Ponyville from his house in the Everfree. The teleportation only sent him about a yard away, yet Bright Pen was ridiculously fatigued from using up so much magic.
"Why did that just happen? Ugh, now I'm tired. I might as well just walk there..."
Bright Pen opened his window, and stared, jaw-dropped.
"What in the name of Disc- Am I still dreaming?" He asked himself this because the shadows from the trees were dancing in front of him. "Well, that's awfully strange. And why is the porch 5 feet further than it used to be, and why-"
He noticed that the thicket to get into the yard was gone. "WHY IS THE BARRIER GONE?!" Bright Pen ran out the door, and saw that the shadows were staring at him. "You guys just need to calm yourselves." The tree-shadows began moving closer to the stallion.
"Uhh.... What are you doing?" The trees moved closer.
"BRIGHT SWORD, LUCID, CECIL!!!!" He called to his friends in vain and began to run on the path out of the Everfree Forest.
"Brother...? Ugh, where is he. BRIGHT SWORD!"

Name: Bright Pen
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Race: Unicorn
Appearance: My avatar.
Talent: Writing (poetry, magic, novels, etc)
Personality and description: Studies things closely, very analytical. He uses his speech as a weapon, and has an astounding
vocabulary allowing him to talk his way out of anything. Tries to be as optimistic as possible, thanks to help from his friend Lucid.
Backstory: Born a year after his brother Bright Sword, Bright Pen was hooked on reading from birth. He spends hours reading books and more books, but more so than that, writes books for hours and hours. He lives with his brother Bright Sword, and, despite being a year younger, is more mature.
Other information of importance: He lives in the Everfree Forest with his brother. He also has invented a simple magic that allows you to help yourself defeat inner turmoil using spells written as analogies (soul-analogy spell).
