Description When I first started doing pony vector art, I used a lot of traces just like this, but I've learned a lot since then and wanted to make an improved set. This time, I'm going to be more methodical and try to get the basic pieces so I can make art and such easier in the future. This is the first in that series. The full trace of the 8 frame female pony run cycle.

The file I uploaded is the original Illustrator vector file so you can recolor, re-position or do anything else you want. I want everyone to have it so we can make great pony art together

More will be coming soon.

IMPORTANT EDIT: For those who haven't realized yet, the image you see here is just the JPG preview of the Illustrator file that you can download. If you have Illustrator or a compatible program, you can see the original traces I did and modify each pose. Each one has a separate head, legs, and such so you can custom anything you want!

ALSO: Art style by Lauren Faust, pony poses and such copyright by Hasbro. I didn't realize this would make front page and a lot of people seem not to know that this is a My Little Pony blank.

EDIT AGAIN: Some folks have been animating this. Here's a gif: cybertronian-researcher.tumblr…

EDIT 2015.08.19 - I have a zip file with lots of resources that you can download. It wouldn't let me upload it so I had to rename it to an illustrator file, but if you open it as an archive or rename it to a .zip file, it should work.

Does it work on ms paint?

Nimaru In reply to sugar-moonbear [2013-03-24 19:50:09 +0000 UTC]

Not sure. But I made it so it would be easy to cut out with the PNG file with the grey background.

Oh I put it on Ms paint.. And it doesn't work sadly... Is there any way you can make it a pixel base?

Pixel base? I don't know what that is.

Haha, it'd be funny to lay it out like the horse frame-by-frame run ([link] ) and put it on a shirt.

I will certainly do so eventually, but the females are my priority. I still have to do other poses, wings etc.

I wanted to make a friend of mine an animation of his OC and this would definitely help.

Whenever you can. Hell, if I get end up creating it myself, I'll put it up and link it, yeah?

It works well. The download file already includes each frame as a separate layer.

SynCallio In reply to ??? [2013-02-06 16:20:41 +0000 UTC]

I don't do much with vectors, but this is useful nonetheless. I'd been using the famous Muybridge photos, but I had to adapt the proportions. Over and over and over. And never bothered to make a nice reference like this.

Looks great, btw!

Nimaru In reply to SynCallio [2013-02-06 16:58:14 +0000 UTC]

It's just a show trace, but I worked hard to make the lines as perfectly curved as possible. It can be a very subtle difference at times.

ShiroKusakabe In reply to ??? [2013-02-06 15:43:52 +0000 UTC]

this shall be useful. i don't plan to use the vector itself, but it works great as reference, even if were to make a male or even an alicorn.

Omg, I've been having a lot of issues with leg movements in my animation (noob animator). I have a feeling this will help a LOT. Do you by chance have a walking animation as well?

Nimaru In reply to Silphen-Fennec [2013-02-06 16:59:01 +0000 UTC]

Actually, I'm working on that RIGHT NOW. It's tougher because the slower action makes it take 25 frames instead of 8. I'll be posting it later today.
