Description Commision one of four for *TwilightIsMagic of *SleepToFade 's character White Night


Personally I really like this character, the smooth and desaturated army green really brings out the military side of the stallion and really makes room of experimentation. This was a lot of fun and I can't wait to do the other three! I do apologize but there might be a bit of a wait as I have two huge tests and a retreat up until Sunday afternoon. I will do as much as I can but I can't push these things aside. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience.

Onwards and Upwards

Commissions are open. See my page for prices.

Heh, this turned out rather nice. The edges of the lines are comparatively rough, which could be something to work on, but overall it still looks good. I'd also leave the tip of the ear in the frame and not out of it, but still, it's not a particularly damning thing.

It'd take something impressive for good White Night to go militant, but I suspect that some sort of threat to Fluttershy would do the trick. But the greenish brown/brownish green is actually a good choice of colour for the background, as it not particularly far removed from his colours and, in fact, is included in the outlines of him when done in vectors.

Anyway, overall it ain't bad. The one thing that will need more attention to make it perfect is making the edges smoother, but that's more or less it, provided the character stays in the shot.

You bring up some excellent points. Sadly I don't have a vector program to make the lines exceptionally smooth but I believe most of the problems will be fixed with downsizing the picture in order to fit the ear tip. Through touchups and downsizing I believe I was able to have a bit of a smoother image. What do you think?

Yeah, it's better now.


As for the program... What about using SAI? It has that lovely linework layer function that works in vectors. Also, there's Ponyscape, which is a free vector program.

Fantastic!


I love sai but sadly my trial is already up and I am too cheap to buy the full version. Hmmm ponyscape... isn't that the one flutterguy317 made? I've never actually tried vectoring before, Maybe I'll give it a shot.
