Wow! There's a total of about 150 different ones. Plus, they all look show-accurate and so clean cut. How did you manage to get so many done so well?
I can see you had fun drawing the ponies in different ways. Applejack in a rob, Fluttershy with swag, Sailor Moon parodies,
A lot of them also happen to be part of that really large thank you poster that you help made (Pinke Pie eating the cake, spike with an umbrella, sweetie belle singing).
Thanks! You can see all the color vectored versions here in my Ponies folder. The color vectored versions are by different artists, often Dentist73548, since I'm not very good at vectors and rarely color my own pony work. The line art is what I actually draw (on sheets of paper using Copic drawing pens), and I haven't been sharing much of that lately, preferring to share the color versions.
Still, you sure how how to make the ponies look so darn show-accurate. Everything you've drawn, including your own original drawings, look solid and the poses are fluid. Lots of curves and roundness. I'm sure you practiced a whole lot to make them look this good.
Yep, a lot of practice. Before I even drew my first piece of original pony fanart, I'd done two coloring books which were essentially traced from the show itself. I'd printed out low-resolution screen grabs, over which I added in all the details you couldn't see due to the low quality, then I drew over that. So I had a lot of practice drawing ponies before I ever drew my own.
About the vectoring, what does it mean exactly in this fandom? I'm sure it has something to do with tracing, but I'm not too sure on the whole meaning.
It's a painstaking process by which the lines of my original drawing are traced and reproduced as a series of mechanical curves and shapes. The final result is in color, and is made up of very clean digital curves with none of the imperfections of a normal drawing, so it looks a lot like the show itself, which is drawn in Flash. Either way, the resulting piece of artwork can be enlarged to any size.
Oh, so that's what it is. I guess I'm doing that too. It really is painstaking. It takes SOO long just for one drawing. Making perfect lines, different colors to work with, making sure the lines are overlapping and underlapping right, tapering lines. Lots of things to keep track of. I can sketch out drawings in a hour or so, but vectoring is like 10 times more work.

This is just WOW! It's just so wow! Gosh!
