Step 6Tentacles!
Alright, so we're going to switch into Flash.... err... Illustrator if you've got it. I don't own Illustrator so I do my vector work all in Flash, and so, these instructions reflect that. I would imagine the processes I use in Flash are relatively the same in Illustrator.
Go to File>Import>Import To Stage and locate your rifle image, and import it. Resize the page to fit your freshly opened image.
We are going to create those groovy tentacles. Create a new layer and lock the first layer, and grab the line tool and make a zig zag pattern like so:
Using the arrow tool, push and pull the centers of each section of the line to make a wave like so:
It takes a lot of practice to get the flow right... so don't give up.
Copy and Past-In-Place (CTRL-SHIFT-V) and then select your free transform tool and put the pivot point to the top right hand corner (Red Arrow), and rotate it slightly using the bottom left corner (Blue Arrow).
Now you have something like this:
Close off the opening with the line tool and fill it with whatever colour you desire, for me it was #FF9900, and then delete the lines so you just have the fill left over.
