Description
Started off doing Colgate, turned into this somehow. Looks good though and was way easier. Didn't have a bunch of clothes like Flim so it was a breeze, Way it went, I might consider sticking to just doing nude colts... That did not come out quite the way I meant it... Oh well as always thanks to ~30Aught6 for the style and the handy base he sent me. His name will have that "u" in it every time I write it, if you try to correct that I will call you a clever insult and ignore it. Any other comments, suggestions, or criticism please feel free to say something below.Related content

Here:
Twily and Shining: Superstar Saga

I'll have you know that in my mind they are named in the superstar saga manner that Mario and Luigi had. So they would be named Twily Twily and Shining Twily.

Erm...?
XD I'm sorry; I don't think I understand what you mean.

Oh really that was one of the few things I remember from Superstar Saga, is that they had a seen where someone comes up to them and says "The Mario Brothers? Oh you must be Mario and Luigi. Wouldn't that make you Mario Mario and Luigi Mario?" or something along those lines. So I imagined that scene with Twily and Armour

Oh! XD No, I don't remember that actually. I really need to play that game again; it has been a while.

I remember the scene only vaguely, it may have been from the Super Mario Brothers Super Show, now that I think about it...

This is amazing! And also *exactly* like 's style. How did you do it? I mean, I know you used a base and all, but was it in .ai and you vectored in the customized parts? Or how did you go about it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, if you are interested, I just took a screencap of Armour being all pouty, came up with a set of arbitrary ratios that I would try not to break, then imported the base, and customized the parts without breaking, the once again arbitrary, rules I had set for the Paper pony style. Then I just tweaked it until it matched both well enough.

I had remembered that the small size of the sprites, was caused by the sprites being wide, and since Armour is taller than Twily, I figured that this stance had the benefit of narrowing his stance, as well as forcing him to look down at Twi, giving even more to illusion of his height.

Hiya! So I suppose this is your first post here (besides the notes and stuff between you, 30aught6, and fim-derpy-hooves)? If so, welcome! I'm doing the programming / text ponification / IPS distribution / hosting (*perhaps*). Did you see my post on the "Stuff" journal? If not, check it out; I basically stated the best approach I think we should take on collaborating. So welcome on board, and I hope you enjoy your time here with us!
Cheers!
Seb
PS: We need to checksum our base ROMs first, just to make sure there's no funky stuff goin' on during the IPS patching.
PPS: "RL crap permits"???
PPPS: Rainbow Dash *is* best pony.

I felt like I should ask you, it being your style, but what do you think of the colour of the outline of the fetlocks?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well I think it adds detail, but do you know how to turn a path into an object on Inkscape? Because I think it might look better if it was less curved off at the nodes. You don't have to change it though, I mean you probably couldn't notice a difference once it's plugged into the game.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn a path into a object? I will learn what that is and how to do it. I apologize I only recently started using Inkscape, That Flim was the first vector I'd ever really made, and I made that barely a week ago, but I feel like I am getting the hang of it. I was mainly referring to the colour itself should it be grey like his hair colour lines or black like the outlines. I feel that the grey adds a feel of depth, but the black matches the style better.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, My mistake there. Dont worry about the paths! Outline can stay the same color.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No no no... it's no trouble at all, it's always good to learn a new skill and if you think it will improve it that's even better.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well actually it's a skill I use frequently for touching up the outlines. But I'm not sure I know how to do it on Inkscape. One moment please!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can figure it out no problem I got a guide here and everything. I will have the thing done the next time I get back online, probably sometime tomorrow if I can find a place with a signal.

Oh you don't have to! The way you are doing it now is perfect. Just saying
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh it's not a big deal, I have plenty of free time, I'll do it and compare the two see how I like it.

*coughcough [link] coughcough* XD
But in all seriousness, I'll see what I can do. ; )

You have quite a way with conveying a thought. x)
And thanks man

It was very hard to get that balance of him looking tough enough to deal with everything but aloof enough to not actually deal with it.
