I went ahead and took a quick aside from working on the poster to put this little bit together for my Written Script page. The original picture had him wearing a shirt and there were pony butts in the background, so I took care of that. That right side looks a little bare, though. Oh, well. Maybe I'll add more grass patches later on.

With this vector, I experimented with two new kinds of stroke methods. The first is mutual clipping, which I used for a couple parts in the mane and to work out that thinner line on his muzzle. ChainChomp2 uses them a lot, so I thought I'd give them a try. So far I like them a lot, they're just a lot more work. The other new thing is adding stroke effects to the lines instead of converting them to an object in order to get the tapered ends. This is way worth it. It turned out I had made the lines a tad too thick the first time around and it would have been a total nightmare trying to redo all those other lines had they been converted to an object instead. The have their pros and cons. I think the pros outweigh the cons, though.
