April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.

We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberProbably should have blurred the edges of the cutie marks a little bit so they can match the lining.
Or probably used sharper lines. You can very much tell that the cutie marks are copy pasted images superimposed on an upper layer on their hips. The hair highlight is very sharp too in contrast with the lining layer. This looks like fill buckets were used quite a bit. The lines break too a little bit here and there throughout the animation.
Several elements in the image just not blending well and make it look messy a bit. If you tighten those up I think you'd have some really really nice looking work in the end.
My first recommendation is probably to use a brush that has sharper edges and doesn't fade like the one you used for the lining because you can see the different strokes made with it because of the blurring and fading.
