SO. I'VE BEEN GONE FOR FOREVER.
I should not have promised to do so many requests at once. I ended up doing only a few of them, which is far from what I wanted to do. I'm really sorry to everyone whose request I failed to complete. I often bite off more than I can chew, and end up regretting it for some reason. It was a great idea to do that since it would boost my vectoring abilities, but I really needed time to improve my artistic abilities as a whole, and because I had no idea how to approach the requests, I procrastinated, which is the opposite of what I wanted to happen. I will be more careful with requests in the future, and I think I will probably restrict myself to one request at a time. Again, I apologize if I never got to your request. I promise to never do this again. If I don't think I can do a request, it will be denied. Every request I do take will be completed with the same efficiency and attention I give to the rest of my art.
I intend to do more vectoring and drawing in general. I really need to, and have been doing just that.
And, I'm getting my head around Maya and Mudbox to make some awesome manes and tails! (Along with other stuff pertaining to my interest in Game Design/Level Design.)
I also have a tiny, old Wacom Bamboo tablet now! So, maybe I will play around with it and ask you guys what you think of it. My work with it probably won't be pretty at first, but that's just how it goes.

Things That I Have Learned
Here's a list of some things that I have learned about Art from books and people:
1. If you don't try, you will never succeed.
2. If you don't practice, you will never get better.
3. Effort is everything.
4. With practice, you will get better, and if you keep it up and keep improving yourself, you will eventually be great.
5. Even silly doodles can help you improve.
6. Use books and use the Internet; learn from others and build on them and make your own techniques.
7. Sketches are your friend.
(Specifically for 3D Modeling: )
8. References are your friend. Don't ever discount them. EVER.
9. Look at everyday objects and imagine how y
Just to Let You All Know
I know I haven't really been going to other people's pages lately and thanking me for favoriting my stuff. This is more or less because I procrastinated on doing so. I just wanted to let all of you who have favorited my stuff know that I really appreciate you favoriting my stuff! ~TwilightHappyPlz (https://www.deviantart.com/twilighthappyplz) Oh, and thanks for all the llamas! :llama:
And to those of who you have added me to your watches, I am very grateful for you doing that. It makes me happy to know that you enjoy my art. :iconfluttershyyayplz:
4th Vector: Luna and Star Swirl the Bearded
I found a pose in "Luna Eclipsed" where you can see a perfect shot of Luna's entire body, right before Twilight steps into the scene and gets in front of Luna. I have decided to do both Luna and Twilight, with Twilight's costume being the added challenge.
As an addition to the challenge, I'm taking advantage of the fact that, in that scene, Luna's eyes are closed and open. I'm going to do both expressions, and then another expressions where Luna's eyes are "calm."
I anticipate that this will have five gazillion layers/shapes/groups/etc by the time I'm done. XD
Also: Here is how I will release the vectors:

How I learned to vector in Photoshop
These tutorials by MLPvectors on YouTube helped me A LOT. Before I saw them, I didn't know how to vector at all. If you want to learn how to vector using Photoshop, I highly recommend watching these tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJcKHLJTRzA&feature=related
Since then, I have periodically updated my "Aura Shrug" pic to show how much I have improved.
Vectoring is slightly trickier than it is in Adobe Illustrator (or so I've heard) since strokes in Photoshop have to be treated as fills.
I have been tempted to get Adobe Illustrator in order to provide SVGs of my vectors. However, in the meantime, absurdly-high resolution PNGs shoul
