Sweet. It'll need a lot more work to look right though. A lot of work.

I like that hair quite a bit.

Yeah, it looks pretty good. Although I still like the "Hair masked as part of the hat" though.

Maybe I could still try that idea? Either way, I'm glad you all think the ponytail thing works. I think I might have to keep the tail very small though.
It's also kind of a shame that I can't seem to be able to give them facial hair without it making them look older. It's important that they really do look to be in the same age bracket as the main six.

Well, you could probably get away with one of them always complaining about how everyone thinks he's really old even though he's younger than everyone else.

That's pretty funny. Nightfall's starting to develop a personality, that as a happy go lucky but naive and innocently insensitive. If Salty had the facial hair, maybe this might happen: Nightfall: Come on dude, I could use a crusty old seadog such as yourself. All them hard years of experience at sea are sure to come in hoofy. Salty: I'm 24. Nightfall: No way, really?!! Shut up, no you aren't! Get the hay outta here! Slalty:

So, as promised, some schemes for Nightfall Flicker: I'm sorry it's so rough. My head is killing me at the moment and trying to focus on the lines makes it worse. Another idea would be a darker, midnight blue scheme. And that's not how his mane looks either. I'm sorry it's not clearer.

The first one looks a bit too Pinkie Pie-ish. The other ones are good, but I'd personally darken the colors slightly so they don't look so pastel.

Darker colors would look more night-y.

I slept on it, and there's two things I can do here. I can either give him darker colours (possibly an orangey red mane over a night blue coat). Or...I could tweak his name to a sun rise theme and stick with light colours. Something like Sunrise/Sunlight/Daybreak/Firstlight Flicker. That means he can have 'Sunny' as his nickname. If we were continuing the theme of him being 'like Twilight but also the opposite' then a Sunrise name suits. Hell, I was writing it so that he is trying to befriend his formally anti-social crew mates rather than the other way around. I'm annoyed because Flash Sentry has a colour scheme that would be great for him if he was sunset themed but obviously I can't copy a named character. This is all just technical stuff if I'm honest. The more important stuff like his personality and powers are better developed. This is just me trying to work out how to best present him.

Well, if you really want a variation of Flash Sentry's color scheme, just do it. The show itself has already introduced characters with similar color schemes. Off the top of my head, Night Glider is just Fleetfoot with a darker coat.
And you could make his resemblance to Flash a joke. "Flash Sentry? What are you doing here? I thought you were stationed at the Crystal Empire. ... And that you were a pegasus."

Sensible words Mezza! For anyone wondering why I want those colours, just look at this picture of 'Nightfall': See? Orange on the bottom (coat), and blue on top (mane).

A thought: blue coat, orange hooves, orange highlights in his mane.

Yes, dark blue.
