I have just downloaded Inkscape for the first time for this streak. I always wanted to learn how to use it. Let's see what the results will be.
[Insert 60 minutes of trying to get anything done here]
Wow... this is hard (never done any vector graphics ever before).
It's worth taking the time to learn it. It's an extremely powerful tool.
I though start very small and easy - but this wasn't really easy. The highlights are a big problem: how to get them over the green background but not under the outline. For now I cheated and they are above the background and the outline.. and then the outline is duplicated on top of it all.
New format - it's a quick video that shows the progress on my gamejam game.
All graphics are done in inkscape, animated with spriter and the game itself is based on libgdx.
Here is a development blog: http://itch.io/jam/libgdxjam/topic/12064/devlog-ab...
I hope it will look ok in the game..
.. right now i'm not a total fan.
Quick free hand spaceship.. nope.
45 Minutes.. as you can see, that's not enough time.
But still did something for the streak and learned stuff. Even if it's not as good a result as I would have liked.
First try at a flower.
Also I have no clue about scene composition & lighting.
(Just switched the lamp to "sun" and put a blue plane behind the flowers.)
Actually done two days ago, but I need to start the streak right now .. or else I won't follow through.
Complaints about winged bears wearing ties should be adressed to the random japanese manga that comes up if you google image search for "bear front side". :)
Keep to your streak guys, after 50 days I am taking a break from daily inkscape.
(With a lazy touchpad end of the road)
again from a sketch my wife did.
.. quick (and sadly bad) sketch of one in inkscape.
Should have used some image for reference.
I went over the rabbit from yesterday and switched the inkscape lines from normal black to a shape along a path and changed the colors.
Should look more like pen strokes now. I think it worked out ok :)
(The right one is the one with the changes)
My wife left a rabbit sketch lying around (probably for me, also more then one but I'll to one at a time).
It went ok.. just.. never mirror (flip) it. Looks strange. (Not sure if that's the sketches fault or mine).
.. the pig from this emergency hug: reddit gif
At least it's a full moon.
Did this on a touchpad on the couch, instead of with a mouse at the "real" computer.
Still I like how it went :)

I checked out the latest tutorials by Chris here http://2dgameartforprogrammers.blogspot.de/ last night.
The roboter I just made is clearly inspired by it, but I didn't open up the tutorial doing it.
(In the hopes of doing/learning more myself)
It went ok ;)
.. it's not easy, even if you trace.
Work in progress (but not sure when I will continue).
.. tired.. but want to keep the streak going :)
not even the same shrubbery.
Better than yesterday :)
I still should not do inkscape without any base drawing / picture / pattern / tutorial.
Something is still very off :(

Nice, I'm also planning on learning inkscape for real this year. I'll probably make a week long sub-streak of inkscape only pieces. (And blender too :))
