This is my entry to @steemcleaners Avatar contest. It's an Octopus who clean bad posts and fight against plagiarism, abuse and spam on the Steem blockchain.

How it's made?
#1
First I added one circle with dark ring as second layer. Than Steem sign at center. Gradient overlay used for darker (at bottom) and lighter green color (at top) of the circle.
#2
At the bottom of logo I added dark colored rectangle who's modified to looks like pedestal of logo. Also text "steem" and "cleaners" added. "Steem" in Gradient overlay with dark and light green, and word "cleaners" in various colors in Gradient overlay fine tuned to give sea feeling. Stroke is also used for this text layer.
#3
Head of Octopus drawn. It's done with ellipse, but his eyes are made with 4 circles in black and white colors. Academic hat represent intelligence and smartness beside Steemcleaners.
#4
Step four are tentacles of Octopus, and it's back tentacles who are out of logo. They're done with polygon and precise long timed editing.
#5
In step 5 we could see one tentacle who holds logo. Like previous it's done with polygon and long time spend on edit to get shape. Also black dots added and it looks better now.
#6
Last step was to add more tentacles so our Octopus looks properly. All of them are different shapes and holds logo. They're light color with bit of grey and with stroke effect who gives edge.
This was final step in avatar creation.
