Dawwww, aren't they cute?
Feel free to download to use for your various Royal Wedding celebration needs!
Just let me know what your plans are with it (mostly because I'm just curious ^^).
Download is a zip file because dA won't accept the original file's dimensions??? Not a clue. It is rather huge and her dress is very long.
And if you prefer, original AI vector file download

First full color pony vector!
Although, I can't take all the credit.
Interesting story here, I actually hacked this vector out of an ORIGINAL pdf from the Royal Wedding site. It was such an interesting process, really fun to see how they actually construct the characters and such. It started as an experiment to see if I COULD get into it. It was all just black and white pieces since it started as a coloring activity thing. I was probably far more fascinated with it than anyone should be. Then I decided to grab some references and throw some color on it to make it usable.

Big mistake.
If you have no interest in a perfectionist artist's rants, feel free to skip to the end.

I sure do hope the construction quality was a reflection on the marketing/promotion/whatever artists and not the animators' original work because this was a nightmare.
To anyone who hasn't worked with vectors this won't mean much. But seriously, too many nodes doubled up everywhere, sections not even overlapping, segments that aren't even connected, wobbly spots... and don't get me started on the rings. Whoever did those needs to be shot out of a cannon. Twice. It's like they were so busy they just grabbed a sad little intern who was like "lol how do I vector." I almost deleted them entirely until I found a little gem of some original color in a layer underneath that they hadn't deleted.... Still had to rebuild most of them.
So after much... "turd polishing" as the saying goes, I deem it at least usable. I don't have time now to nit-pick every last piece but it is wayyyyy better off now. I will likely get back to this. Because I'm that meticulous. ><;
So after much color swatch making and construction cleaning and reshaping, here it is. I swear next time I'm just re-tracing it fully from scratch like I'd usually do. I'd be much better off. *dies*

TLDR; Ripped the original coloring page line art for this and it was very badly done. Many modifications were made over many hours. Now is pretty with pretty colors.
ENJOY!!! =D
