Hi,
This doesn't matter for much, except it's my first SVG ever. I'm not an artist, neither I believe I have the required sensibility on this subject.
I've been for some time testing stuff with Nodoka Engine, and I've made something that pleases me as a GTK-Theme, I called 'Galatic Empire' in an allusion to 'Star Wars'.
I've decided to look into Inkscape and try to do some icons, my original purpose was to create some icons for the gnome tray in the line of the well known 'elementary monochrome', as my GTK theme is based in only 2 colors (dark grey and light grey).
In addition maybe the tradional standard icons, for the menus and folders, maybe mime types in the future...
This was my first ever image produced on inkscape based on some tutorials on Youtube. The 'Galatic Empire' icon I grabbed from media commons, the folder itself, I did by myself.
It's a failure as a possible icon, too much complex and shatters completly on smaller resulutions, but it can point the way. Like Thomas Edison, I found a good on how not to do an icon ;) the rest the future will tell.

I wouldn't be so hard on yourself, practice makes perfect. :)
I had been using Flash *hides* as a vector editor for 7 years or so before I started using Inkscape. Trust me, going cold turkey wasn't easy but it paid off in the end. It's an amazing tool once you get to know it!
Good luck!
