191 of 365 is a hot wet sloppy mess in #Inkscape #type #grunge

Serious issue
Serious issue

Clearly, we have a serious issue. Well, maybe not clearly. So this is really to just explore the beautiful per letter orientation capabilities when you do a conversion from text to path. You have lots of capabilities even as text to do fine kerning, letter spacing, and even rotation, but I find it a lot easier to do something like this by making the text, converting to path (ctrl-shift-c), ungrouping (ctrl-u), which makes all of the text into individual path shapes. You could select a string and make them into a group or single path to manipulate in that way, but lots of options, regardless. Hope you liked it!

150 of 365 is a 3D fish in #Inkscape #design

3D Fish
3D Fish

This was fun. I saw a 3d image as I was looking on recently, and thought I can do that in Inkscape! I took a dingbat font based fish and placed it in Inkscape on the canvas. I duplicated it twice and placed each slightly apart from one another. I used 3d glasses colors with transparency to set the tone for the 3d feel. I placed it on a slightly oxidized paper background. I added the text, played a bit with each letter’s relative kerning and spacing, and when I was happy with it, I duplicated it, and made a shadow of the duplicate. Hope you enjoyed it! If anyone has 3d glasses, let me know if it pops in the comments!
