Helen just a quick note, with a black & white sketch, there's a way to vectorized it in inkscape One of the tutorial http://inkscape.org/doc/tracing/tutorial-tracing.html On 01/21/2011 12:48 AM, Helen wrote:
Inkscape, Gimp and a program called Artrage that I have on my mac. It's a nice little program with a realistic interface - you can pin references around your work just like you would in real life. Oh also I found an online SVG 'translator' to vectorize my drawing

However I am *so* not a designer - I mostly use pencil and watercolor. So a bit of a learning curve. Also my work is usually a naturalistic look, not the crisp cartoon style that we use for illustration.
I don't know how it got from "I'll take a look and see if I can come up with something" to "Helen assures me she's all over it...."
I'm thinking of doing some photo-editing instead, there's a few nice public domain images which will look good with a green background.
However I keep hoping Robert will wave a magic wand....
(meanwhile trying to get my drivers sorted on the desktop so I can actually apply some processing power....)
cheers

This is the little guy I'm working on. I'm having a bit of trouble getting the effects I want with fills at the moment... hopefully I'll get it figured out soon or I may end up going back to old fashioned watercolour + scanning !!!!
cheers Helen

Chuck, Robert might want the source files for this.
Robert, the white space is a little scattered, would you like to take a preliminary look at layout, maybe 'tweak' the arrangement a little bit, to one or two larger blank spaces rather than many small ones if possible. I have a design for a Chameleon hanging around the top and side of a box that could work. I'd prefer that than having small cliparts all over.
However I could do some small icon-like drawings as an alternative.
I welcome other ideas.
If I know where the free space is I can design the art to fit it.
best,
Helen

Robert,
I am attaching the openoffice drawing. Sorry it not in Scribus, I didn't have time to do the work and learn the program. Please let me know if there is anything else you need.
