This video is a collaboration with Nathan Lovato from GDquest.com - we are creating a Kraken. This game creature will be designed in inkscape (in this youtube tutorial) and adjusted, coloured and shaded in Krita (a free bitmap image editing and painting tool) by Nathan ( youtu.be/V2CDT8_VmUk ),
In this tutorial I cover the design and creation process, setting things up in layers for fast paint-over using inherit alpha in Krita. The vector shape acts as the container for the paint process, making it faster to shade and texture your creation.
A key element in the creation is the function of path effects / taper strokes to create the tentacles.
Enjoy!
