vsd_easter_bunny_sign_150x1878All work and no play? Not for me! I was dabbling a bit in Inkscape last night in preparation of the character creation tutorial and I ended up with an easter bunny. I will not use it in the tutorial - but I thought I might as well share it with you all. This morning I cleaned it up - turned it into a clean vector that can pass any scrutiny check for the microstock sites and it is published in the Vector Illustrations section. There are 4 bunnies and some decorative elements included and I made downloads available as Inkscape SVG, eps format and png. And more important it is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 2.5 Australia License - so feel free to modify and share, but do respect our copyright. Check it out: Freebie Easter Bunny Vectors.

Upcoming tutorials:

- Colour separation in Inkscape in support of stencil preparation for silkscreen printing.
- Retro style character creation.
