Sometimes though you just have to tinker around until you find the correct way to create a specific persona. Like on my Rainbow Flash adopt I have 8 layers but some personas require more. The template has a the pony base, shading, closed wings, ribbon, cutie mark, open wings, horn and twinkle eye.

I just had a layer for the lines and a layer for the body colors.

Post by: SourdoughStomper on January 18, 2012, 07:23:48 PM: I think it looks good. Pixel art can be tricky. I can manage the basics but I still haven't really mastered shading and whatnot. So it's an ongoing process and you're off to a good start. :)
