(notes from the writer)

I worked on Moonlight's template some more tonight.  Mostly on the color and design of my cutie mark.  It's freaking hard to draw using a mouse, I'll tell you that much!  I found that Gerneralzoi's Pony Creator program on DA is a great resource for templating.  It's easier for me to work with ideas when I can actually SEE them in front of me.  I used it to come up with a workable model of Moonlight and was able to color match the background of the cutie mark using Photoshop.  The hard part is going to be coming up with suitable accessories and being able to successfully draw them onto my model.  As for the mark itself, I've been using my Mark I version as my avatar for blogger.  I messed with it until I got a version that I could tolerate until I could refine my skills and come up with a more suitable version.
