A little progress on keeping up with the storm.
Original image was rushed in a few days with heavy use of filtering, back in 2017.
In 2019, started working on a new variant that uses no filters at all, yet still captures the feel of the storm and heavy waves.
Got sidetracked after several efforts of crushing due to processing power issues.
Just recently gave it another try and finishhed a variant that uses gradient filled paths only.
And for comparison made a fitting scale variant of the original image too.
Here is how it looked in 2017:
2021 version:

Super cool effect in the new version. Like it a lot. 👍
This work is so beautiful (both versions ) and creative. Thank you for sharing this.
Glad you like it!
Was also planning on adding in filters to the recent version but probably it won't happen in the next two decades
unless inkscape will support a renderfarm/a renderfarm supporting inkscape rendering.
Here is a small portion of what it can look like:
Tried some more filtering and decided to tone it down this time.
Not much difference can be seen in this thumbnail, but here it goes:
4k version with the additional dithering and dropshadows is available here:

also, another version with a grungier gradient pattern can be seen here:
