'Unimount' Does it seem familiar? Paramount Studios was the inspiration... It seemed a natural fit for the Inkscape mountain landscape. I'm traditionally a Corel Draw user (since 1989) and was a professional graphic designer for many (many) years. Now I also teach computer graphics (among other computer-ly things) to high school students. We first used Inkscape as the 'free' and open alternative to Corel Draw or Illustrator (for PCs). As I and my students used it extensively over the past several years, we found it stands by itself on its own and not just because it is 'free' but because it works and meets the needs and expetations of my students and myself. With each consecutive update, it becomes more stable and I'm compelled to use it more and more often. Thanks for the cool software and the means to show off some new related skills.

you can also try filter in photoshop to make it looked vectored or import the pic to inkscape and trace it.
The entry is just secondary to the satisfaction you get while detailing and administering the finishing touches. Had this been a job for a paying client I might have cowered away from using Inkscape and fell back on using something safe and familiar. You and the other artists have my gratitude and have contributed immensely, by exquisite example, to my understanding of this software. We all win from this and former grand displays/critique/collaboration.

Thanks for looking!
The awful truth is that I used 0.47 and haven't used any of the other nightly builds as was recommended - shame on me. I've only read about the newer features and haven't seen or used any of them yet first hand. If I have time before the deadline (I had a few days off for spring break) I'll install the most recent build and rework the scene to include the overlooked spray tool and anything else I can see (learn about) that could be effectively squeezed in e.g. the path direction indicators etc. I'll try to submit it as a second submission.
It's probably already too busy to render as quickly as it should for the about page.
