Topic: Cartoon penguin (Inkscape SVG)

I've spent this evening working on a cartoon penguin in Inkscape. I nearly posted this in Artwork, but it's not really much to do with #!. Nonetheless, this is where I'm hanging most these days, so I thought I'd share with y'all:

My progress, for those who may be interested:

Well done! My wife and I dig it! big_smile

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

Re: Cartoon penguin (Inkscape SVG)

I really, really like your penguin.  I really, really do not like the old Linux penguin at all.

I view KDE like I view snow. It looks fun and marvelous, it's fun to play in, but after a while I just want someone to take it all away.

I'm glad to hear someone else say that! This is a Tux alternative, but one day I'm going to design a proper, elegant Tux replacement logo! tongue

Now that's an awesome penguin.  And I have to agree with you, I'm not that fond of Tux either.  yikes

Re: Cartoon penguin (Inkscape SVG)

Installed a newer version of Inkscape and continued with some variations.

Re: Cartoon penguin (Inkscape SVG)

I considered posting yesterday that I thought his feet would look more "natural" under him instead of in front and viola!, you read my mind...

Nice work!
