Description 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

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.

Feel the force flowing through you

I know this might sound strange, but this reminded me of Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. It was when he was with Yoda in the swamp trying to focus on the Force and level up his levitating skills.

You're not alone. Most fans of the show considered this a very Star Wars moment.

All that was missing was for Zecora to say something like "On trusting your feelings, you must rely. Do or do not, there is no try."

Well, it is a very lovely picture of Twi. I really like it. The shading and the levitation magic looks really nice.

I can see Zecora saying something like that XD

This is simply marvelous. I guess you must have taken a lot of time on this.

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.

when working with vectors all objects are separated naturally so you don't need many layers, or any at all

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.

Amazing work with the lighting! It's something I'm just getting into myself, looking forward to seeing more backgrounds from you .

DewlShock In reply to xenoneal [2013-02-13 01:53:10 +0000 UTC]

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 .
