This weekend I took part in Ludum Dare (for the fifth time). Ludum Dare is an accelerated video game development competition. The theme was "10 Seconds". For three days, our team created a game named Buzzbuster  - an arkanoid like game with bees in the hive. The game can be played here . It was super fun, as always, can not wait for the next Ludum Dare event. All graphics for the game were created with Inkscape. = Project page on Behance =

Before we begin, I strongly recommend you to read the first tutorial in this series, named “Creating a female cartoon avatar in Inkscape” . Many steps of this tutorial are the same that in the previous one, so I’m going to omit them. They are: setting the interface, creating paths, choice of colors, adding volume etc. All these can be found here . Picture №1 Create the basic elements of the character: the head, ears, neck, the shadow under the head and shoulders. It should be noted that in this case the head looks almost square and shoulders are sharper. Picture №2 1. Make an eye more rounded. Eyebrow can be created in two ways: by curving the ellipse path (F5) ;  with the Bezier curve (Shift+F6) in “Ellipse” shape mode. If the width of the path does not suit you, you should convert the object to path (Path > Object to Path) and go to the menu Path > Dynamic Offset (Ctrl+J) . By dragging the white pointer to the left and right, you change the offset distance. To be able to...

Fran Bow - is an awesome game that needs to be funded. If you like horror games and horror stories, you should check it out . This fan art was made by me and devolonter (as an advisor) to support our mates, indie game developers from Killmonday studio .

Avatar is the graphical representation of the user in social networks, forums, games etc. In other words, it’s his alter ego. Usually 2D-avatar is a square image which has a small size (100x100px, 64x64px). And that's why we should delete all unwanted items and keep the most important ones when you create it. Otherwise, it would be either difficult to see the details after size reduction, or they will make the image blurry. There are several useful features in Inkscape that can help you create avatar easily: View > Icon Preview will let you preview the page or selected objects as an icon in different resolutions (16x16px/24x24px/32x32px/48x48px and 128x128px). View > Duplicate Window will open a new window with the same document in which you are working. By editing the original document, the changes will be made in duplicated one. However, you can make changes in both windows. This feature can be useful when working in Inkscape as a whole, not just for creating an avatar. T...
