So, um... shipping!! Yay?!

Heheh, I haven't released a vector in a while, mainly due to the fact that I've been extremely busy in real life, and I've also been working on this vector (and a vector for an art trade). This vector took waay too long, mostly because I was doing everything from scratch and needed to try to find some pretty obscure references to base different portions of their poses off of (such as RD's wing). I also wanted to try to get everything looking absolutely perfect, which meant a lot of tweaking and trial and error. On the plus side, I feel like I learned a lot about pony anatomy from doing this vector, and I also discovered something new with the powerstroke in inkscape!! There's a new "join" type for sharp corners called "extrapolate", which will basically follow the curve out to a point. This is infinity times better than a miter, which merely goes straight out to a point at the curve angle, and is really useful in the mane and tail tips.

Big thanks to everypony at the for their help on critiquing this piece, hopefully it came out well! I'm going to try to start releasing more vectors regularly, assuming I can get less busy in real life Oh and I also started working on developing for Inkscape, so hopefully I'll be able to help add in some features which will be useful to our fellow vector artists! If you have a feature that you feel would be nice to have, let me know and I might look into adding it in!

Annyhow, I hope you like this!! Feel free to critque it too! I'm still learning what looks right in terms of perspective and stuff, and hopefully I made some strides in this vector, but I am definitely still learning! Svg can be found here (Inkscape 0.49 required): [link]




If you do use this (or any of my other artwork), please let me know so I can check out what you make with it!
