Are There Any Artists out there?

I have been using the free vector drawing tool InkScape. It is awesome! You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
It works on Windows, Linux and the Mac.

I am thinking of implementing singing pumpkins ans Christmas trees for this year In order to do this I will parse and use the papagayo phonetic files. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
papagayo will take a sound file and produce a text with the phonemes  identified

My plan is to put animated images on my megatree.

So , If you are interested please look at this short tutorial that shows how to draw a pumpkin in InkScape. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
watch it even if you dont plan on making a pumpkin. you will see some of the power of inkscape.

So I need multiple images with different mouth shapes to match the phonemes. We could also make the pumpkin/tree blink sometimes.


If someone could make up 3 or 4 shapes i could test the software. I will use the movie engine to flip through the images.

thanks

Some whare is the files I used at the academy for some singing heads. I don't know if they will help much.
