Description
Here's a vector of Spike from Hurricane Fluttershy after the instructional film was ruined! This vector was especially difficult for me, I think I'm better at vectoring ponies than dragons. I tried to use some new techniques with this vector to get things to look smoother (like clipping for Spike's eyes and film strips and path division for his hair). As always, feel free to critique and I hope you like it! Svg can be found here: [link]Edit: Fixed some strokes' colors and film layering. I may extend the two film strips on Spike's tail so they actually look like they're wrapping around his body (the current way is how it looks in the show) and re-upload again. New svg can be found here: [link]
Edit (March 30, 2012): Fixed the tail stroke so that it goes all the way to the end, added eye accents to Spike's left eye, and extended the film so that it actually looks like it wraps around his tail. New svg can be found here: [link]

WARNING! Continue reading! Or you will die, even if you just look at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mother and father. He gotso bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the government decided that the Over-the best idea is to get rid of him so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but the machine they were using the wrong one. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of his death he returned to the person who reads this letter, on a monday night at 12: [URL REMOVED] He crept into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who does. This is not fake. Apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break the chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or I'm

this is so cool!
dont kill me... but i dont really know what a vector is. is it like a charater taken out of the show or something?

Thanks! A vector (in this sense) is a drawing which uses shapes and paths, as opposed to a raster drawing which uses pixels. Vectors are nice because they can be enlarged as much as you want and still not lose quality and you can always go back and edit the shapes to change the drawing in the future, but they're a lot tougher to add certain details to (such as shading). My vectors (so far) have been of characters from scenes in the show, but when I get better I'll also create vectors with improvised character poses.

You did great! 
Was this your first Spike vector?

Thanks! This was indeed my first Spike vector, quite a bit different from ponies and a lot tougher!

What makes Spike more difficult? The way he is shaped?

I think he was a lot tougher for me just because I'm starting to get used to vectoring ponies, so it was kind of like starting from scratch with some aspects. For instance, I wasn't sure exactly what I needed in terms of layers (or what parts of Spike needed to be on what layer), and in the end I had a lot more than my previous vectors. It was a lot of fun, though, and I'm constantly learning how to improve my techniques. Glad you like it!
