Really cool!
Can I ask what you used GIMP for in this piece? Was there something you couldn't do easily within Inkscape?all the letters and shadows and outlines were made on gimp. the only thing made on inkscape was the mouse, yea! while it's possible to draw stuff like that on gimp, i think it's easier to do it on dedicated software (inkscape!). thank you

Oh I see, but anyways, I was referring to the opposite, I was curious why you didn't make it all with Inkscape rather than the opposite
-
when other graphic designers say "gimp is not good" or "inkscape is not professional", or say bad things about linux, i have to show them that even linux can be awesome!!!
Looks like a sad and overworked old guy

Oh, well there's 2 ways mainly:
- duplicate objects, flatten, change color to dark/black and turn up the blur percentage (my preference for easier control after creation and more options all around)
- use the shadow filter under
Filters > Shadows and Glows > Drop Shadow, more crude, but it works if your needs stay within what the filter can do

the first way is exactly what i do but on gimp! thank you. whenever i duplicate objects (text) on inkscape, i have to turn them to paths before changing anything

You don't have to turn text into a path if you just change color, opacity and blur percentage of it

Those stuff doesn't even seem remotely same tho, different type of design style.
All kawaii FOSS logos are common Akiba-kei moe logo style.

I'm all for GIMP, but logos should be raster for sizing and SVG use, Inkscape only please

i know but this picture is just fanart, nothing else. if i were to use it on a personal project tho, i would save it as an svg file too! (which i do for my personal logo)
