One day, while browsing DA, I saw a picture by Willis96 entitled “Never Leave Me Again.” You could find the original picture here (>>1579494)

Upon seeing that picture, I had the giant urge to vector this gorgeous work. The final result is what you see above this description. Now, let’s get down to the rants technicalities.

Well, let’s start with the background, because dear Celestia, that took SO. MUCH. TIME. TO. DO. I keep forgetting that backgrounds always take up more time than I remember (FLOWERS EVERWHERE), but that’s beside the point. Vectoring fire…that’s a new thing for me, as well as all the wall design on the left side of the rear wall. Also, trying to vector shading is another new thing for me, as indicated by the attempted reshading of the fireplace exterior. The rug and pillow behind the two princesses weren’t too difficult.

Princess Luna: So adorable in this picture! Also, she was generally really easy and relaxing to vector compared to the background. Yes, I know that her necklace isn’t in the vector. I may go back and edit it in later, but I like how Luna looks without her crown/tiara and necklace, as she looks much more young and more innocent.

Princess Celestia: MANE. THAT MANE. MANE AND TAIL. THAT MANE AND TAIL. Celly wasn’t as difficult as I was expecting, but she was definitely tedious. Of course, all the difficulty came from her mane and tail. Otherwise, it wasn’t that difficult.
