Twilight being completely focused. S03 E05 Magic Duel.
So this was my first time doing a full background trace and trying shading/highlights. I spent most of the time experimenting with blurs... ugh so much blur, took about 20mins to render. Many thanks to =flutterguy317 for his shading tutorials: [link]
but is also compatible with Inkscape 0.49 Time: too long Layers: 10 Source: [link]
The download zip file contains the svg and several png's including just twilight, with bubbles, without shading, with alternate mouth, just the background etc.
I'm impressed with the amount of time I know this had to have taken... but only 10 layers? I use at least that many layers for a pony... I find it makes organization and effects much more manageable.
Thanks this did take ages. To tell you the truth I thought I was using too many layers for my previous vectors, my Fluttershy has 20. So I decided to minimize layers for this vector and it actually simplified things a lot. All the effects have their own layer, even Twi's alternate mouth has it's very own layer . Well... I did also use the objects dialog and tags(Ponyscape v0.4) but mainly for shading.
Thank you! I'm just learning lighting too so it'll probably be the focus of my next couple of vectors. Takes a bit to get right but the payoff is so worth it .
