Description Ok, so she's done.....pretty much. Final version of this: [link]

I corrected all the errors people mentioned such as darkening her back hind leg, making her hear bigger, making her eyes smaller, putting her colored stripes in her hair on the correct side, and placing her irises more properly in her eyes.

Pretty good I'd say. It's not perfect though, but I don't think it's in serious need of any corrections this time. Still feel free to give me a critique, and if there is anything major that could use some touching up, I'll update.

Only thing is, I still can't figure out the whole eye-hole-with-irises-behind-head-and-white-underneath-both concept, so if anyone who knows Illustrator knows how to do that, please let me know in the comments.

This pose is original, the only tracing done was of my own pencil sketch of her in this position, but I used plenty of reference. Feel free to use for anything like wallpapers and stuff, just be sure to credit me and link me your finished product in the comments, I'd love to see it!

EDIT: THIS IS THE FINAL EDIT!!!!! I fixed her left eye as best I could as well as her mouth and nostril a bit...

Why thanks! Yeah, I can see what you mean about the eyes, they are a tad bit close, but I guess I did try. The colors are a bit washed out, but it might be because of the computer I was working on when making this....

Anyways, thanks for the critique!

Fix the eyes. They are more of a oval.

What it does have to do with my opinion, sir? I'm just telling that you could fix the eyes. I know you probably do stuff better now but seriously.

What I mean is that I made this a while ago back before I was that good at drawing ponies and this file is so old that I don't really care to go back and update right now, I'm busy making newer and better things. Plus I can't update because I don't have Illustrator, I made this back when I had access to it.

Amitanchan [2011-11-01 02:03:00 +0000 UTC]

Take heart in this- their is only a single flaw in this vector that needs a bit more brushing up. That is very impressive and deserves praise.

Oh, and I find the slightly large eyes cute.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AleximusPrime In reply to Amitanchan [2011-11-01 02:20:14 +0000 UTC]

Which is that?

Are they too large?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Amitanchan In reply to AleximusPrime [2011-11-01 02:37:19 +0000 UTC]

The eyes just need a bit of tweaking. I think someone mentioned something about pupils being centered, and I think they meant this: [link] this [link] or this [link]

In these shots, her pupils are more focused around the edges of her eyes rather than at the center.

NOTE: I am in no way an expert, nor have passable knowledge on art or biology.

Personally, I think the size of eyes is just right.

AleximusPrime In reply to Amitanchan [2011-11-01 03:14:12 +0000 UTC]

So just a bit crossed? (the only link that worked was the last one)

Amitanchan In reply to AleximusPrime [2011-11-01 03:23:18 +0000 UTC]

I appologize for the linking fail. Maybe these two will work better:

[link] [link]

So yeah, not quite "DERP!" crossed, just following the edge of her eye rather than centered.

The light purple part of it, at least, should not be seen, I think. But that's up to you.

Eyes are s simple fix. Just use a vector mask on a folder containing the eye white, iris, et al. That way you can move the eye, (folder contents, except the white), around and place it where you want while it continues to look exactly how it should.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

AleximusPrime In reply to adamlhumphreys [2011-10-31 23:29:41 +0000 UTC]

Hmmmm..... so if I move the eye, it will get covered up by the purple on her head?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

adamlhumphreys In reply to AleximusPrime [2011-11-01 00:05:59 +0000 UTC]

Yup. No need for an extra, unnecessary layer to cover it up. I prefer fewer layers wherever possible. Of course, Rarity’s Carousel Boutique took about 200 layers! But, as I’ve seen from some Photoshop files a few people provide, had I used the same method they did, I’d probably have 3 times as many layers!

And 17.5 hours.
It makes me often wonder how the animators and designers of the show maintain their sanity. Obviously they do it quicker, with not as much attention to detail, but STILL!

AleximusPrime In reply to adamlhumphreys [2011-11-01 01:15:04 +0000 UTC]

Wow......... O.o

If I were to guess, I'll bet they have several people working on a single background at once by splitting apart into different teams to make each object and then they put it all together. Either that or they have quicker methods of doing it.

adamlhumphreys In reply to AleximusPrime [2011-11-01 01:31:02 +0000 UTC]

Oh yes! People are definitely divided into teams, and that’s likely how they do it. I know from my Intro to ATEC (even though they focus on 3D animation), I’ve heard that it’s not unusual for an animator to work 80-hour workweeks! … Whether there’s a great difference between time to animate 3D vs. 2D, I’m not sure, but I don’t see killing myself working 80 hours a week for someone’s entertainment. … Don’t exactly know how everything will work out.
