Thanks to bobbo I checked out this page and found an inkscape rocks tutorial, which i tried to follow (the first page).
I think they turned out fine.
I then wanted to try a cactus on my own. I think it kind of worked, overall I am pleased.
Awesome! The rocks look great!
I think I'm going to break out the Inkscape drawings later on in the year. I love the application and have been doing most of my game assets in it for a little while now. I'm still a novice, but that site has made a HUGE improvement in the quality of my work. (Not that my work is that good, just much better than it was!)
I think the problem with the cactus is there are no highlights which makes it seem flat compared with everything else. You've got a great shape going though which is half the battle.
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 :(

@Bobbo thanks for the advice, I'll try to shade the cactus tonight. (Already experimented with thorns on it, but it didn't look right.)
Are your games published? I would like to take a look :)
So far I haven't found my games - tried to hand draw and scan (and color and edit in gimp) tried using kenney.nl's assets and some 3d blender models (but no 3d game made it onto my page yet.)
Since I do like Kenneys style I ended up with this streakin scape training :) - I sure hope it works out :)
Thanks to interactions like the one with you, I am hopefull.
Also: Can't wait for your inkscape stuff :)
