Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Digital Art / Vector Art / Photoshop

So, here's a tutorial for making the unicorn's glow seen in the show using Photoshop in a fully vectorized way. This is based on the Unicorn horn glow tutorial for Inkscape made by

If you see any mistakes, grammar errors and whatnot, please report them to me in the comments. Also, sorry for the pretty poor quality of the images included. The limited screen resolution took it's toll on them when taking the screenshots.

If I`m not mistaken, objects has different magic glow than the horn and the inner part of horn`s magic glow is round unlike the outer parts. Although they don`t lower sparkle`s opacity on the show, it seems to be a good idea and works very well on these pictures of yours. You forgot to add sparks outside the magical glow, though.

This tutorial is starting to be a bit old right now, and I'm not using Photoshop to vector anymore at all. I might need to check some references and see how the magic glow is different. Maybe they changed their way to rendering the magic glow as time went along.

As for the missing sparks outside the glow, all the sparks are actually outside. It's possible I tinted them too pink and they look like they're below the glow but they're actually on the outside. I thought that leaving them too bright would distract a bit from the overall effect but you can have them as you want in your pictures, what I did was one method of doing this.

Do you use Adobe Illustrator? And if you do, can you show me how to make the glow in Adobe Illustrator?

*Pirill-Poveniy Dec 25, 2012

I use Adobe Illustrator, but

already did an equivalent tutorial on it which you can find here.

~XYZExtreme13 Nov 30, 2012

The tutorial is done in Photoshop. This may be a stupid question but could it also be done in Inkscape?

*Pirill-Poveniy Dec 1, 2012

While I could re-write it for Inkscape, I find little reason to considering there are better Inkscape tutorials in MLP-VectorClub's gallery. Also I don't really use Inkscape that much/at all anymore.

~XYZExtreme13 Dec 1, 2012

Thank you. I could an appropriate tutorial.

*Pirill-Poveniy Dec 2, 2012
