Description
It was about time for this lady to get a new ref! She's now a Scandinavian Riding Pony, import sheet to come. I did lineless just for a change, and I used a vector mask for her body which I hadn't done for this type of thing before--so convenient to make changes to the outline!! I'm pretty happy with this, but it's also so boring, I didn't really know how to make it more dynamic. Either way, it looks better than her old one.
...I have a feeling rn that dA's version will look way too yellow and I don't know if it's just my monitor or whatever. but if it looks too yellow it's not my fault I promise!
General Information
Show Name: Starfire FC
Barn Name: Juneau
Gender: Mare
Breed: ScandinavianPony German Riding Pony
Bloodlines: Firestorm FC x Sitka*
Age: 11 years
Height: 14 hh
Color: Palomino
Markings: Snip
Discipline/Rider/Level: Eventing/Celeste Kensington /1.20m (schooling to 1.30m)
Genotype: ee/Aa/nCr
Temperament: Everything about this little mare's personality screams PONY. Juneau is incredibly willing, but can sometimes get over-enthusiastic. This can sometimes include bucking or jigging, or throwing in a huge jump! Despite this, she has good intentions, is very brave, and usually aims to please. She loves to jump, especially cross country, and can get a little distracted when she's stuck working on flatwork for awhile. On the ground, Juneau is very cuddly and curious. She sometimes needs reminders to keep her manners (especially when there's food around), but is overall very polite. She's very vocal to other horses and ponies and to people she recognizes. She loves her job, and whinnies when people come get her to be ridden. Juneau also loves rain, and gets very playful in it!
Build: She's a very good example of her breed - build like a small warmblood, personality of a pony. She's on the lighter side for her breed, with long legs for a pony, but she's still got that sweet pony face with big eyes and little fuzzy ears. She has short, clean cannons, and a sloping shoulder and an uphill build.
Movement: Big, expressive, floaty gaits; very athletic. Lots of scope; clean, even jump with a tight tuck.
History: Juneau was bred at Fox Crest, a fancy breeding and showing stables, and has lived there for her whole life.
Owner: Fox Crest Equestrian
Leaser: Celeste Kensington

I appreciate the veins whenever people do them but I am always too scared to add them myself. What are vector masks?

Haha I usually don't add them, but I wanted to add some little details without much effort and they were the easiest way! A vector mask is a mask on a layer (prevents changes in the transparency--you can't color outside the lines) that's controlled by vector rather than pixels. So instead of erasing I just move the outline around with the pen tool and it gives a very smooth outline. If I wanted to make it bigger, the edges wouldn't get pixelated .
