3D Fish<\/p><\/div>\n

This was fun. I saw a 3d image as I was looking on recently, and thought I can do that in Inkscape<\/a>! 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<\/a> 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!<\/p>\n
