Then definitely awesome work. I wish my OC's cutiemark was that cool, but then I would need to make one up that was that cool, which can be surprisingly hard.
Oh yes, it definitely can. On the one hand, it can be easier to work with someone else's idea - you have it all ready. On the other, you practically have to get inside the other person's head to get it exactly the way they want it.
Exactly. I can't just make it something really cool like a Dragon riding a meteor away from an explosion, because it means nothing! It has to be something that fits him, not just cool. That and I can't draw anything that well, except rocks I guess, so unless his cutiemark is Tom I am out of luck in creating it.
