- How to create a stroke with outset
- How to create sunburst in Inkscape
Tutorial Steps
Step 1
Create a gradient with Gradient Tool (G) and change the gradient option to Radial.

And change the color with Dropper tool (D) to Vivid Sky Blue (#4bc3e8ff) and Blue Munsell (#168db0ff).
![game-text-design-step-1-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-1-2.png)
Step 2
Type a text with Text Tool (T) and change the font to Germania One then convert the font to path in Path > Object to Path.
![game-text-design-step-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-2.png)
Step 3
Next, add the persepective path effects in Path > Path Effects > Perspective/Envelope.
![game-text-design-step-3-1](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-3-1.png)
And you can drag the handle like to create a perspective:

Step 4
Duplicate the text with Ctrl + D, then change the duplicated object color to Prussian Blue (#072333ff). Then select the path and choose Combine (Ctrl+K) for creating an outstroke later.

Press Ctrl + ) for a few times (Outset Shortcut).
![game-text-design-step-4-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-4-2.gif)
Then send it to the lower back.
![game-text-design-step-4-3](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-4-3.png)
Increase the outset more by pressing the shortcut ( Ctrl+) ).
![game-text-design-step-4-4](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-4-4.png)
Step 5
Create a gradient to the text with Gradient Tool (G).
![game-text-design-step-5-1](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-5-1.png)
Then change the color with Dropper tool (D) to Sizzling Sunrise (#fada28ff) and Cadmium Orange (#eb822bff).
![game-text-design-step-5-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-5-2.png)
Add more text and Perspective in Path Effect (See from step 2) and change the color with Gradient Tool (G) to Vivid Sky Blue (#4bc3e8ff) and Blue Munsell (#168db0ff).
![game-text-design-step-5-3](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-5-3.png)
Step 6
Create a shape to fill the empty gap with Bezier Tool (B), and with dropper tool (D), change the color same as the stroke color Prussian Blue (#072333ff), then remove the stroke.
![game-text-design-step-6-1](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-6-1.png)
Send it to the lower back.
![game-text-design-step-6-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-6-2.png)
Fill the “Island” text with Bezier tool (B).
![game-text-design-step-6-3](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-6-3.png)
Select all the path and the stroke with the Bezier tool (B), then unite it with Union in Path > Union.
![game-text-design-step-6-4](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-6-4.png)
Step 7
Duplicate the stroke with Ctrl+D then connect it with the Bezier Tool (B).
![game-text-design-step-7-1](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-7-1.png)
Remove the stroke on left corner, Right Click > Remove Stroke.
![game-text-design-step-7-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-7-2.png)
Result:
![game-text-design-step-7-3](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-7-3.png)
Then connect all the edge with the Bezier tool (B) then unite it in Path > Union.
![game-text-design-step-7-4](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-7-4.png)
Result:
![game-text-design-step-7-5](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-7-5.png)
Step 8
Duplicate the “Sky” with Ctrl+D then change the color to Persian Plump (#662022ff). Again, connect the path with Bezier Tool (B).
![game-text-design-step-8-1](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-8-1.png)
Duplicate the island text with Ctrl+D.
![game-text-design-step-8-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-8-2.png)
Connect all the shapes with Bezier Tool (B).
![game-text-design-step-8-3-zakeydesign.com](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-8-3-zakeydesign.com_.gif)
Create a sword clash effect with Bezier Tool (B).
![game-text-design-step-8-4-zakeydesign.com](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-8-4-zakeydesign.com_.gif)
Step 9
Lastly, we will create a sunburst effect with Ellipse Tool (E) hold Ctrl+Shift to create a proportional scale. Then drag the point to create a slice of that Ellipse.
![game-text-design-step-9-1](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-9-1.png)
Click once, then move the pivot point to the left top corner.
![game-text-design-step-9-2](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-9-2.png)
Then head up to Object > Transform then choose the rotate tab. increase the angle to 45, then press Ctrl+D to duplicate then hit apply. Repeat the steps.
![game-text-design-step-9-3](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-9-3.png)
Combine all the shape by selecting the white shapes then in Path > Combine.
![game-text-design-step-9-4](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-9-4.png)
Place it in the middle and move it to the lowerback. Then create Gradient with Gradient Tool (G), choose the radial option:
![game-text-design-step-9-5](https://zakeydesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/game-text-design-step-9-5.gif)
Well Done!
That’s all, i hope you understand how to use the bezier tool and Gradient Tool in Inkscape.
