Update on DeviantArt Project

Earlier this week I commented on a DeviantArt project I had in the works.  It was an entry for a DeviantArt contest.


I thought I'd write a quick update as it happens to be a slow news day.  (I had a total of 15 stories in my photography news feed this morning.  I usually have three times that.)


Here's the character I created for the contest using Inkscape:

I like how it turned out.  The problem was in trying to get the animation done.  I was a little too ambitious when it came to the animation.  The problem wasn't getting the animation done, it was getting it done while meeting the file size limit.

The limit was 200KB and the best I could do was 280KB.


The bad news: I missed an opportunity to win a contest with prize money.

The good news: I got an excuse to play with Inkscape and a character that I can use for other purposes.  (Inkscape and Animation tutorials come to mine.)  So it's not a total loss.
