Original Description:

Distant Glitter is a keen-eyed topmare (topstallion??) and the only stallion of the Daiyamondo crew that’s both skilled and nimble enough to be up on the masts. Often found in the crow’s nest, he has a knack for noticing things out of the ordinary, and helps guide the ship towards land or away from obstacles.
Now.. his hooves and legs originally had a really nice looking gradient! Unfortunately, that gradient looks like shit when I try to replicate it using the crayon-style brush I use.
Alas.
