I made an abstract artwork inspired by the style of Marina Vandra for the January Inkscape Challenge. It represents ocean creatures and primitive lifeforms.

Hope you all like it! I'm trying to explore other art styles.

Portrait orientation flat-style artwork. Above and below are reef-like shapes with schools of fish arcing above and pebbles on the rocks below. Between is a light blue floor made up of coral with holes in it. Three elongated frames overlaid on top contain blobby cell like structures in the first frame, rain and pebbles in the second, and a low-opacity overlay on top. Beneath the third frame are floating embryo like shapes that look like question marks.

A patron recently came to Gum Spring's Makerspace to personalize an apron for her mother-in-law's birthday. She used Inkscape's software to convert all the grandkids' handwritten names into an embroidery file. Then, she used the embroidery machine to finish this unique and meaningful gift.
White apron with “Grammy’s Baking Crew” and names Milo, Marilyn, Frankie, London, and Luca in colorful writing. Embroidery machine stitching names on a white apron that reads “Grammy’s Baking Crew.” Embroidery machine stitching “Grammy’s Baking Crew” on a white apron.

an open source tool that I think has undergone a similar glow-up to Blender/Godot is Inkscape. I remember using this like over a decade ago and it was ass, but now it's awesome

I thought I was seeing things… but the official Inkscape account liked my post!? Thank you! All my game graphics—except free backgrounds—were made entirely with Inkscape. I probably wouldn’t have started making games without it. Thanks for such an amazing tool!

It's Spooktober, so that means this monthly challenge must be a spooky one!

This time it's to "draw a ghost or spooky monster"

Good luck! #inkscapechallenge
