First time vectoring my OC

[Alpha Centauri 169]

So, I decided to vector my OC from the Pony Creator pony I made and add a few creative changes (Like adding a Cutie Mark and re-colouring the Mane/Tail), anyway howd I do for a first attempt?

It looks a lot like a pony-creator image O_o

It's neat, but kinda trippy with the white outline.

Yeah I used my Pony Creator Pony as the base of the vector to learn the dimensions ect

Eh. I find pony creator images to be very boring because of the usual uninteresting pose you see very often. See what happens if you trace a more exciting pose as a base and add your OC's design?

 

I hardly know anything about vectors so I can't tell what's a great attempt versus a poor attempt, but if there's anything I can point out, the back rear leg doesn't appear to be curved correctly as it suggests your OC's flank is meatier on one side than the other. That's about the only thing I can say, so I guess it's a good attempt by my standards.

 

By the way, going by what a vector artist once told me, I hear that fancy gradient effects such as the one you see on the cutie mark are an issue with vectors though, issues involving compatibilities and such. It's also not very true to a show-accurate style and it shows as you don't really see effects like that used at all. Just sayin'.
