   So, I happened to stumble across Inkscape 's v1.3 Splash Screen Contest yet again.

     On to the blueprint!

     As you can see, it looked very bad in the beginning, but I think it got better over time. This is a draft, and yes, I had to remove certain parts of this blue print too for the final picture.

     Although in both cases, I did not receive what I wanted as-is. But, it provided a good base case for me to work on, time to draw!

     Next, I had the idea where I would transition color swatches on the left side (technical) to a cityscape over different colored skies on the right (natural). Let's try this prompt: "Color swatches and transition to night sky digital art"

     I don't know how to draw a robotic hand holding something, and it has to be a puzzle piece. Let's try something on DALLE-2

     Step 3: Mapping - Let's map the ideas out there on the sheet: I have this small idea where we have a robotic hand with a puzzle piece, trying to complete a picture, inkscape logo at the center, a human hand drawing with a paintbrush. The drawing divided into two halves, left side has a more technical art style, right side is more creative and natural.

     Let's try to make AI and Humans work together on creating a new art style - maybe like, a missing piece of puzzle that an artist needs to put into their drawing perhaps.

     Step 2: Keywords - Now that I have the skeleton concept ready, here are some keywords I gathered - #ai #puzzle #human #technology #collaboration and yes, #inkscape

     The deadline ended on Sunday, and my exams ended on Saturday. I really needed a break - let's try submitting something new!

     Step 1: Brainstorming - What are the current important changes in the art world? And how is it impacting artists? - AI was something which hit my head first - We have DALLE-2, ChatGPT and a lot of other interesting software which create art. How can we incorporate that into a picture?

     Step 5: #inkscape

     Now I had the base outline on which I would draw. Converting every piece into a vector was not a trivial task too.
