Hi Buddy !
Welcome to Inkscapeforum !
Watch all of PhotoAdvanced2's beginner tutorials. Worked for me.
See ya

That image is too complex for us to tell a newbie how to do it. Inkscape can't even make a conical gradient. At least not very easily. So it will take advanced skills for that part. But even if you skip that gradient, the other parts still take at least intermediate skills.

Maybe if you try to learn something about Inkscape, and take your best shot at it, we might be able to help with certain parts of it. But imo, it's a little too much to ask a bunch of volunteers....because it's not a simple image. Maybe we could explain how to draw 1 of the 3 or 4 basic parts. But the whole thing is a little too much for me, as far as writing a unique tutorial.

Actually, I'm close to finishing a series of tutorials about converting raster images to vector. So you could use those tutorials to learn how to do it yourself. But it might be a couple more weeks before they're ready.

You could always try Path menu > Trace Bitmap. It's an auto-trace engine, which will convert it to a vector image quickly. Maybe that will be good enough for you? You haven't said anything about what you'll be doing with it. It won't be structured the same as if you draw it from scratch, but it might be good enough for whatever you have in mind.

Or if you offered to pay for the image to be created, I'm sure you'll get some offers.

I actually solved it. I know that paying it would have been possible but i thought this was a forum were people try to help not too sell. Moreover i am new to Incscape but i still have 2 masters in engineering therefore i think that if you had explained i would have understood. Just to show you how it can be easy the following is the explanation . Have fun :

1. Create a ring. Either by using difference (path->difference) with two circles or by converting the stroke of a circle to path (path->stroke to path).
2. Draw a straight horizontal or vertical line (use the bezier tool and hold ctrl) on top which is longer than the diameter of the circle. (And either center it through the align dialog or use the grid to place it accurately.)
3. Select the line and duplicate it (ctrl+d).
4. Rotate it by 6° (object->transform).
5. Select both lines and combine em (ctrl+k).
6. Switch to the node tool and select two nodes at one end, then hit the "join selected endnodes with a new segment" button.
7. Repeat the same with the other side.

Now you should have a ring and some kind of hourglass shape.

8. Ensure that the "hourglass" is below the ring.
9. Select both, then Path->Intersection.
10. Path->Break apart (ctrl+shift+k).
11. Group (ctrl+g).
12. Edit->Clones->Create Tiled Clones...

[Symmetry]
P1: Simple Translation
[x]Rows, Columns: 1 x 30

[Shift]
Shift X, Per Column: -100%

[Rotation]
Angle, Per Column: 6°

create.

13. Del (the original should be still selected at this point)... if the clones disappear go to File->Inkscape Preferences... Clones... When the original is deleted, its clones are: [x] unlinked.
14. Select all (ctrl+a).
15. Ungroup (ctrl+shift+g).

The gradiendt is not conical btw . Just set a linear gradient .

ps adjust the angle of rotation to your needs

It appears you didn't need any help after all.
