Any progress with your character?

... 23 were no SP-Studio pictures ...
Did they draw something or upload photos of themselves? It's strange that some people don't seem to understand basic contest rules.

Quite good! Maybe one could move Ariel a bit off-centre to make the picture more interesting and use the Oscar statue and the menorah for the statue and the candelabra on the sideboard.

I didn't know where to put this, as this problem actually isn't related to SP-Studio. Since Saturday my Laptop can't access the Internet via WLAN anymore but even via wire only some websites can't be accessed. This really puzzles me.
YouTube or Wikipedia seem to work and obviously also SP-Studio, but some other forums that even use the same forum software as SP-Studio don't work. This occurs with all browsers I have at hand. I can use Google Search, but when I google for solutions the links I want to open also don't work. On YouTube I didn't find useful videos so far.
Generally, I don't see any logic behind the sites that work and those that don't. For example, Instagram works but Tumblr doesn't. LinkedIn works but Xing does not. Wikipedia works but not WikiHow.
Can anyone of you make sense of this?

I could switch to working entirely in Animate, but for some reason I am used to the feeling of the drawing tool in the old Flash versions. Maybe it's just in my head.
Generally, the newer versions of the Adobe suite seem to have a different interface. Some people seem to like new stuff just because it's new. I normally stick to what works for me, too.

That's why I still use my old copy of Flash which I bought from Ebay years ago. It's great for drawing! But it does not support SVG export. Adobe Animate works well and adds the svg export, but the price tag is not low, and so I guess it's no option for you.
I also work with old versions of InDesign and Illustrator that I also got from ... somewhere. They already offer incredible possibilities and I managed to use them for things they probably weren't conceived for. Adobe surely has the best and also most diverse solutions, and products from the same supplier work best together. But it's also quite expensive with its subscription model. Affinity seems to be a good alternative but only to the programmes I already have. And so far I didn't get the impression that its programmes have a wider ranger of features.
SP-Studio offers a download as SVG so I would assume that your Flash has some sort oft vector export. The images look too crisp to be vectorized bit-maps, although they often seem to have conspiciously many control points.

I do these while watching television.
Which is also useful for getting an inspiration.
-
Even ten minutes isn't that much. For me it's normally closer to an hour.
-
Yeah, that seems to be a new development. Can Sketchbook export as SVG?
-
I downloaded pencil2D. It's definitely not a vector programme. Sketchbook isn't free so I'll first do some research before buying it.
-
My idea is that in this thread we can discuss on software useful for but not limited to editing the pictures created with SP-Studio.
Currently I am looking for a vector-based software that is free or at least cheap and also has a free-hand drawing tool. Most programmes I know can create simple shapes that you then can manipulate. I even found one, namely Inkscape, where you have a free-hand eraser . But so far I couldn't find one that meets my demands.
-
There were so many that one can hardly remember all of them.
-
Why didn't you submit it for the contest?
Jareen2 said he had voted for me even!!!! And Eggy said it was one of his faves!!
I remember it, too.
-
Is this supposed to become a Betty-Boop-like character?
-
How did it turn out?
-
Hardly anyone knows but as with many movies the Ariel movie by Disney was inspired by a movie from the Janie series, Janielle, the little Mermaid with the Swimming Goggles. I think one should raise awareness for this forgotten gem!
-
Could the image have been part of the one colour contest?
-
Taking care of a garden is more work than I would have thought so I got me some additional help.
-
Is there any way to edit submitted pictures?
You could upload the picture again with the full description. Only the last entry counts, anyway.
-
Animate CC is cool.
But also quite expensive. Do you use it a lot? Do you create videos with it?
