Spirograph Pig

This was the result of me playing with the Render: Spirograph extension in Inkscape. When I first made the Spirograph, I saw the central opening as a mouth, and created a tongue, and some very simple eyes to make some sort of monster. Not really satisfied, I thought it looked a bit like a pig. I decided to push the idea by applying piggish colors, adding tweaked triangles for ears, defining the eyes a bit more, and shaping the snout with ellipses. I added the fade in the muddy background to create a bit of depth and story. I’m really enjoying learning about all of the deeper features in Inkscape — I usually would stick to the tools on the side, but I’m getting a lot out of the LPE tools, the extensions, and path tweaking.
