Vectored from a sketch by the one and only ~Joey-Darkmeat

Original Drawing: [link]

This is slightly improved on from the original, and yes I know you can’t improve on perfection but I believe ~Joey-Darkmeat may have been limited by his medium (felt-tipped pens) so I’ve taken a bit of liberty and made points where I thought there should have been points etc.

I wanted something quick and easy to vector so that I could try out Inkscape’s stroke width tool.

What’s that I hear you say? Inkscape doesn’t have a stroke width tool? Maybe you mean Illustrator but typed Inkscape?

WRONG!

Seeing as Inkscape is open source there is a development team working on new features all the time and one of the most recent ones is ‘Power Stroke’ which is the stroke width tool.

Why don’t I just use Illustrator I hear you ask? Because Illustrator is horrible. There, I said it. I dislike Illustrator, a lot. I’ll probably try it again at a later stage, but for now I hate it.

As for the vector itself, I couldn’t decide which colour I liked best for her eye, so below are the links to the other ones

The SVG for this one is below if you want to download it, but the stroke width tool only works in the nightly build, when you open this in the publicly released version the strokes with the Power Stroke effect on them have a million nodes. There’s actually a million nodes, I counted.
