Tutorial #3.
Teh easy one, I may say *g*

We'll learn how to go from Image hosted by Photobucket.com to Image hosted by Photobucket.com



Find a cap, crop it, teh usual.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Duplicate layer. Filter->Sharpen->Sharpen (I sharpened it twice for better effect)
Image->Adjustements->Desaturate (Ctrl+Shift+U)
Set layer on screen, merge down.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Now, the usual again. Blur tool and smooth their faces.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Now, I duplicate layer and desturate it, settin it on soft light.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Now, to fun and colouring.
I take this Image hosted by Photobucket.com gradient by [info]crumblingwalls and set it on Color Dogge, opacity 70%
Merge down.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Now, I take this Image hosted by Photobucket.com texture by [info]colorfilter and paste it as a new layer.
I lower the Opacity of the layer so I can see what’s underneath and select the part I want visible, using Rectangular Marquee Tool. Copy, Paste as the top layer.
Now back again to the background layer, I select the second part I want visible. Copy, Paste, Top. Wee.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
I place stroke on the two pictures on top, using #DBBF9D colour and 3px on the bigger one and 1px on the little square.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Now, I duplicate the texture, set it on Soft Light and place it as a top layer.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Gradient by [info]crumblingwalls again, this one Image hosted by Photobucket.com Set it to hue.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Merge Down.
Image->Adjustements->Brighteness/Contrast. My settings are +10, +10.
Image hosted by Photobucket.com
Voila.


Other icons made in similar way, all sharable, along with the one done above *g*

Woah. When I got your comment 'defying gravity' was playing on my winamp *L* And the line 'look to the western sky' came up just when I looked at your icon.
Spooky. And wicked *L*

And I'm happy you liked the tut, thanks *g*

You know, if I die from making too many icons from your tutorials, I'll make sure that everyone knows who to blame.

Which means, I loved it, and am adding it to my memories.

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

And for some unknown reason, I keep making Full Metal Panic icons from your tutorials.. weird...
