Today we are going to design a character maybe for a video game.
I will use my Wacom tablet to do this one; and maybe some PS effects and styles; will see.
The idea is to create a Bug like NPC (non playable character) enemy character.

So let's begin.

Create a new document 1024x768 and a new layer.

NPC - non playable character - enemy character



NPC - non playable character - enemy character

Use some gradients on it to create our background.

NPC - non playable character - enemy character



NPC - non playable character - enemy character



NPC - non playable character - enemy character
 




NPC - non playable character - enemy character

Here is the result:

NPC - non playable character - enemy character

Pick this brush with these settings and begin to paint.

NPC - non playable character - enemy character



NPC - non playable character - enemy character

Well, we get something like this.

NPC - non playable character - enemy character



NPC - non playable character - enemy character

No custom colors, just the colors from the original gradient image.

Create another layer – character layer.
