Some recent fractal concept art...
Very excited to be trying out the new @inkscape release soon. To make sure testing it out is up to standards, I'll need to pair it with GIMP and Scribus in a pseudo professional setting.
Would you suggest some fake exercise that can get all those three to work together?
