Just a Vector of Cloudchaser

[CloudsdaleCompanion 343]

 

 

So yes, this is my second vector. I used less nodes and followed a few tips from a friend.

 

I'm not sure whether you see it the way it looks like on my screen, which is a transparent white background. If you see a black background, the edges will look pixelated.

 

I put a fairly high amount of effort in it, so I hope there aren't that many mistakes.

 

Also, a part of her legs and tail were covered in the original scene, so drawing them freehand was very challenging for a beginner like me. That's why her hind leg may look a bit weird.

I swear CloudChaser has the best mane in the entire show.

Good job on the vector though

I wouldn't have been able to tell some of it was drawn freehand if you hadn't told me

That's amazing! Great work with the freehanding.

 

So are vectors done from screencaps? I'm wondering because I want to start vectoring too and I'm wondering what people source from.

i love it, and i love her. this is def going in my Pony Stuff folder with the rest of my favorite pony pics. she looks kinda sad though, and nopony with a mane like that could possibly be sad.

Thanks for the comments so far everypony! I appreciate your input!

Yes, they are. If you really want to start vectoring I'd just search a few tutorial videos on YouTube. They can be very helpful.

 

As for software, Inkscape is all you need. I have heard that Photoshop is supposed to be way better for vectoring, but I'm not gonna pay for something I can also do with free software.

That's pretty spectacular.  Very good job.  Nice to see someone else who seemed to pick up vectoring as easily as I did.  The only thing that catches me as off is the right eyelash/eyebrow.  Just seems to stop.  But that's being super nit picky and isn't even really a negative.  Overall, very smooth and well done!

Wow, that vector looks really awesome, and I must say, she really does have the best mane of all the ponies :3

 

Though I am not sure if she is sad or just wondering.

Very impressed with the vector ^.^ I also have to admit that other than Celestia's and Luna's non-stop flowing mane, Cloud Chaser definitely has the best mane. I mean, JUST LOOK AT DAT MANE!
