I've already started assembling the third episode of Doctor Whooves and the Assistant and it's coming out extremely nicely. My goal whenever I do a cartoon is to always outdo my previous cartoon. I will say adding a movable neck has significantly improved the body language factor. (you'll notice in the first two episodes the necks don't move at all or rarely)


But anyway, to explain the header:

While I was putting the Doctor and Derpy in their respective places and giving them life so to speak, I was wondering how I would handle the background ponies I want running around while our protagonists are doing their shtick. I had an idea that I would post the OCs of various artists or fans to run around and such. Not a huge deal. Problem I see is deciding which ones to use, or I could have people commission me for a spot, or I could hold a fanart contest, or I'd give up and just use the BG ponies in the previous episode.

What do you guys think?

Should I add OCs to the background?

If so, how should I choose the OCs?


Lets brainstorm! :D

I won't be putting background ponies into the cartoon until I get the main characters in place. So there's a lot of time to decide.

(shorp is gonna be in it, no matter what you guys say :P It'll be a "where's Waldo" type deal)

Aw, that is a very cool idea :) might end up like Derpy, which would be awesome!
