HAH, beautiful. Faving this. I once tried to do a similar high resolution icon or rather a logo for my band. I wanted a cat chewing on a jack cable. (Because the band is called 'The Cat Ate The Wires' It didn't come anything. Looked more like a hamster xD .
Yeah, Inkscape! Very nice. Some bugs and memory problems, though. Exporting also sometimes take more than 5 minutes if I have lots of blurred paths.
But it is still the best free vector program I know.
Anyhow, I've tried Adobe Illustrator when I was at school. The user interface is better but I haven't been able to grab my hands on the new version. Anyone has been trying to compare the two?
It's been a few years, but when I was in high school I did a co-op semester at print shop/graphic design place. I had to use AI for a couple of things and while it was definitely faster than Inkscape in terms of rendering & UI response, I found the tools and workflow much more convoluted. Usually after a few days of using a program I can get used to all the main functions but not with Illustrator - I think I ended up working with Inkscape and then just tweaking it in AI for printing.
But like I said that was years ago and I didn't compare the two in-depth. A lot has probably changed since then.
I love this icon. I used it in an internal mockup I made for work. I hope you don't mind
I've posted it on dA here.
Thanks for making this excellent icon!

Btw, this one looks much better AJ.
