You have been invited to use the pony maker to make a TEAM THEMED PONY! That means with the collaboration of your team, you will get to use the pony maker template to create your own pony SE for your team. This is an SE that your entire team will share, so make sure you get permissions worked out for them too!
- You need Adobe Photoshop (at least 7) and working knowledge of Photoshop in order to make a pony. Please follow the instructions below thank you!
- PLEASE DO NOT colour any pets that are already "themed" on site (ie: comet, homunculus, ghost, etc). Please also do not colour cosplays based off anything, including your own OC characters.
- PLEASE DO NOT EDIT OR ALTER THE LINES/ EDIT THE HORSE YOURSELF. Just use the templates/ colour it okay.
Tutorial
[ STEP 1: CHOOSING FOLDERS ]
First, open the file:
You will see that there are several folder in your layers. We will be working from BOTTOM UP. You will select and open PONY BASE folder first, and then the Hair Edits, Additional Edits, and finally Extra Edits. You can only choose ONE OPTION from each folder (yeah, keep it to one hair edit only przz).
- If you choose anything from the STAND ALONE BASE (ONE OPTION ONLY), you MUST IMMEDIATELY SKIP TO Extra Edits.
- exclaim Stand Alone bases cannot be combined with Hair Edits or Additional Edits. Simply colour the regular pony base, and the stand alone base you chose (for example, kirin + the regular pony base) and MOVE ON TO EXTRA EDITS, please don't give it wings or hair oh god please. exclaim
[ STEP 2: COLOURING THE BASE: ]
Okay, lets open up the PONY BASE, and go to the very bottom layer "base".
You can now colour the base of your pony. Go ahead and give that a try with a brush/ edits as you please.
It's @#$#$ magical, I know.
[ STEP 3: COLOURING THE BASE LINES AND HIGHLIGHTS: ]
Do you notice that odd BRIGHT BLUE on the pony? Well, lets match the blue with a theme from your horse colour. Try to choose a lighter coloured highlight that COMPLIMENTS the base colour of your pony. Because my pont has green markings, I decided to go with green highlights.
In the pony base select the HIGHLIGHTS FILL PLEASE layer. Run a green brush over it. (Please make sure all highlights are LIGHT/ BRIGHT coloured, don't use dark blues/ browns/ blacks, dark any colours really).
Tadaaa!
You will also need to colour the lines. Select the lines layer (right above highlights). Choose a colour considerably darker than your pony's base colour. Use an airbrush and fill in the lines with that colour. All better now!
[ STEP 4: COLOURING THE HAIR LINES AND HIGHLIGHTS: ]
Okay, we're gonna repeat the same thing, but with hair. Choose a hair edit you like, and open up the folder.
Okay, now lets fill again the highlights and line colour (dark grey this time for lines to match the white)
You're a @#$@#$ artist!!!11
[ STEP 4: COLOURING THE ADDITIONAL EDITS: ]
Okay, lets now select a thing from additional edits. I'm gonna go with the lameass bat wings.
Same as above, fill in the base, highlights, and lines layer. Done!
[ STEP 5: ADDING AN EXTRA EDIT EDITS: ]
- You can pick and choose any of the extra edits as you please. I'm not going to pick one, but you're free to select ONE of the layers in the extra edits. Please don't pick more than one.
[Step 6: DONT FORGET AN EYE COLOUR: ]
Okay lets go back to pony base. Select the eye colour layer. Go to image > adjust > hue/saturation (on your menu, genius) and toggle the TOP BAR to adjust the eye colour. Once you're happy with it lets continue on to saving the final product!
Yay it is green, because green is better than blue.
[Step 6: EXPORTING YOUR IMAGE: ]
