Inkscape Splash 1.1 Born Freely
Mike Thomas-Faria
In a style inspired by Art Nouveau poster artist Alphonse Mucha. I have been studying Aaron Blaise's tutorials on how to draw big cats, and used a number of reference photos to make sure I had some of the head's coloring and proportions correct, but it's not directly from any one photo, really. "Born Freely" is a play on the title "Born Free," the true life story of a couple who pioneered the idea of returning a lion raised in captivity to the wild. Additional text is Linux Liberatore Display. I wanted to keep the text in keeping with the other branding to give your eyes a neutral feeling so that the drawing would stand out on its own.

Inkdancer Gold

Taking a traditional pen and ink and bringing it "freely" to life with Inkscape 0.92, the gold standard in open-source software. Used Bend and Perspective/Envelope from the 0.92 Beta release, plus the new resize handle when drawing from a saved object on the spray effects. And lots of stuff from 0.91. What a great tool set!
