The head is not filled with any transparency. According to tutorial it was two steps: black-white gradiant and thereon violet.

Why transparent?
I follow a very easy excercise made for Illustrator. I don't understand why the horn of the monster is seemable behind the head. The head is not filled with any transparency. According to tutorial it was two steps: black-white gradiant and thereon violet. Maybe it is not necessary, but I tried to make the same exercise as it is shown on the video. That´s why I have the head shape on 2 different layers and the upper one is half-transparent, but the horn is laying under opacity. Otherwise the tut is here: https://vimeo.com/47947603 I should like to achieve the same colour too.

Re: Why transparent?
Hi
Im viewing on a ipad so can't edit in your elements. But it looks like the horns are infront of the face.
Quick solution
Select the horns, and press [page down] that should put the horn element behind the face.
Also when a element are selected, you can see a small o in buttom left corner wiht a value, this value is the opacity/transparency

Re: Why transparent?
The head is selected in "fej" layer and it is O:100. The horn is laying in the bottom layer and even Lower selection to bottom. It seems through anyway. 
Re: Why transparent?
Here is the development of the monster, still unreasonably transparent.

Re: Why transparent?
It's to do with the pink body in the "fejszin" layer. There are three things contributing to it appearing transparent (and therefore the horns showing through from behind it):
1) The pink body itself has O:46
2) It's got a filter applied to it which uses the Blend primitive to mix it with the background using the "Darker" mode
3) The layer itself has a "Darker" blend mode applied
Set the layer blend mode to "Normal", remove the filter, and set the opacity to 100 and the horns disappear behind the body as you would expect - but you'll need to change the colour as it will now be full magenta rather than the paler pink you had before.

Excuse me. Microugly is the address of the notification. I edited the name.Re: Why transparent?
No problem, I'd guessed the mis-attribution was a simple mistake - but thanks for leaping to my defence Brynn
