Fun facts:
Sketching the image took about a minute, and vectoring it was about 25 minutes. Of course, parts were sped up to make the video short and sweet, and to fit under Derpibooru’s 25MB limit. In keeping with this pattern, it would presumably have taken me 25 years to figure out how to make this video myself :P
I used
Open Broadcast Software Studio to record myself working on this. It’s 100% free to download and use, and I can’t recommend it enough. I believe she used
Cyberlink Powerdirector to make the actual video and
Hewbo Free Video Converter to make the webm :D
That horrifying cycloptic orb is Reference Ball, who presides over my works and provides the color scheme for my character. This one came from
Rarity’s cloak :P
