Description I wonder what could have made Applejack feel so... Awkward...

~EDIT~
-MAJOR stroke fixes. I believe I got even strokes now

They were driving me INSANE!
-fixed eyebrow taper. special thanks to on helping me with that a little.

~NOTES~
-There are 25 layers in this vector. The reference I used is the bottom-most layer of the SVG file under the name "references".
-Cutie mark was made by me ^_^
-SVG file link [link]

Hahahah tis' just another vector by me. But If it wasnt for , it would not have been as good as it is today! give his deviantart a visit! He makes awesome vectors!

I Hope I can get it into the


I would love it if you guys could comment some tips, pointers, and things that I could do better in this vector

XD Don't know how to put pictures on this, but I'd have a picture of a freaked out Applejack saying: "You don't know?!" LOLZ!

you had the words right, but you need a colon on both ends and no spaces between the words and the colons

Sorry the quality isn't all there. I still have a few things to learn about Inkscape.

when you export the file, you can change the resolution!

mewtwo-EX [2012-11-20 04:32:27 +0000 UTC]

I detect ZERO fill errors! Yay!

A couple more things though:
First off, have a higher quality reference! [link]
Pretty sure the bangs (hair) stroke should be full width when it goes behind the ear. Perhaps some taper is ok, but not to the extent you did. The source has an animation error; the hair definitely goes behind the ear. On a similar note, the smooth curve part of the hair should probably be the same width as the rest of the stroke.
I'm not sure where you intended to have her looking, but the eyes need some adjustment. If you're trying to match the source and have her look at Applebloom, use the higher quality reference provided and adjust. If you want her to be looking at the viewer (it kinda looks that way now), you'll just have to play with the positions of the pupils manually. In that case, the iris may also need adjustment. The higher quality source will help you with the eye-shine sizes too, which currently seem a bit small.
The taper on her flank, meeting the right-back leg, is way too thin. It really only tapers where the rest of the leg comes in. You got it correct on the left-back leg. Just repeat that on the right.
The cutiemark is a bit big. Set your source at 50% opacity, then adjust the cutiemark transform so they match reasonably. For some shots (not this one), some curvature is also required. No idea how to do that in InkScape.
Really minor, but required for show accuracy: You have her neck stroke going directly into her front-right leg stroke. In the low resolution source it's hard to tell, but the foreleg is always in front of the body, and the neck stroke goes under that leg to become the belly. Look at [link] or [link] to see it in action.

Your path control has really improved! Your basic application is excellent. Now it's all about the details that make it shine Keep it up!

Oh, this applies to both this and Fluttershy: If you've used someone else's cutie marks, it's good etiquette to provide a link-back even if they don't require it. If you made it yourself, you may want to state that, so people don't get concerned. Note how on mine [link] I provided link-back for Fluttershy, and implied that I made Rainbow's myself.

Soren-the-Owl In reply to mewtwo-EX [2012-11-23 06:01:43 +0000 UTC]

Hahah dont worry, I find cutie mark references in the episodes and make them myself. Then I just paste them into my image and modify them as needed

mewtwo-EX In reply to Soren-the-Owl [2012-11-23 03:53:11 +0000 UTC]

Nah, I'm looking at your crazy huge PNG. If you're using certain outside services to hold your source files (I use Dropbox), you can simply replace the file there, and it doesn't change the link. I don't like Stash for this reason. (In the description, you may want to state that the source is withheld currently.)

Let me know when you're ready for review #2

Oh, and about eye gradients: Pretty sure they're either perfectly vertical, or tilted slightly as seen here [link] . With a high quality source, you can generally just match that though. (thanks to =SirCxyrtyx )

alright, fixed it up a bit! Im not gonna update the file for it until its completely fixed. Everytime I fix these, I used to update the SVG file. Kinda urksome. If you need it thoough, I can keep doing it?

I have a question also. Do the color of a pony's eyes always get lighter in the direction of the eye sparkle?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

mewtwo-EX In reply to Soren-the-Owl [2012-11-20 14:03:18 +0000 UTC]

The dark part of the gradient is always on top. It's also usually perfectly vertical (I haven't found a time when that doesn't work, but doesn't mean it's always true). There is no set % value, for light to dark. I usually use about 80% light, but that may not be entirely correct.

And that stinks about your screen. Iew.

Definitely look into getting HQ video. It really does help!

Before you go modifying the gradient, I've looked at some other references and am now unsure. I'll do further research and get back to you!

I was able to reserve a vector in the club, but I have a question.

Im vecoting this [link]

will they want the legs? or can I vector it just how it is?

mewtwo-EX In reply to Soren-the-Owl [2012-11-25 06:30:31 +0000 UTC]

You can do it as is, but the more detail included, the more useful it is. I suggest finding some front views of the CMC and using those as references. This [link] may also help, but will need some tweaking.
