Long time no see (at least in the way of icons)! I can't believe it's been around 7 months since my last icon post 0_o. So these were all just basically cropped down from things I've posted on my tumblr, but I really like them and had a lot of fun making them.

Wow I can't believe it's been 3 months since I've last updated! I'm working on remedying this (I've made 2 whole icons!), just so y'all know.

Also, OMG YOU GUYS I'VE REACHED 400 WATCHERS! Thank you all so much for sticking with me through this unexpected hiatus. But I need y'all's help!

SO SPAM ME!
Leave as many caps/pics as you'd like, from whatever subject you want. Unlike with a request post, however, I will be picking and choosing which caps I use.

My Icons in 2009: A Review
It's that time of year again! This time, we're gonna take a look at how my icons have changed during 2009. To be honest, I'm actually pretty proud of my icons this year (well, except for those September icons haha).

I'M TAKING SPN REQUESTS :)
~~OPEN~~ | CLOSED

+Leave as many MQ-HQ pictures/screencaps as you want
+I will try to make at least one icon per person...we'll see how it goes
+You can save your spot

I'm finally on winter break and I actually have loads of free time! So I'm going to try to get back into making icons. I can't believe it's been a whole month since my last icon post.

Step 1) Start with your base image. Add a Selective Color layer with these settings:
R: -23, 0, +8, -11
W: 0, 0, +15, +11
N: 0, +3, 0, -4
Set the layer to 'soft light' 100% opacity.
I find that adding a selective color layer and setting it to soft light is the best way to add contrast to my icons. Usually, I will put this layer closer to the end of the icon, but I did some fiddling and it looks better at the beginning.
>

Step 2) Duplicate the selective color layer, keeping it 'soft light,' set to 100% opacity, 56% fill.
After I was already done coloring I thought the icon could use a little more contrast, so I duplicated the selective color layer.
>

Step 3) Duplicate base image, bring to top, set to 'screen' 100% opacity.
This is to lighten the icon.
>

Step 4) Add a new color layer, #1c1501, set to 'soft light' 52% opacity.
I added this color layer to give the icon a little more natural brownish coloring.
>

Step 5) Duplicate base, bring to top, set to 'soft light' 100% opacity.
I felt icon could use a little more contrast.
>

Step 6) Add a new color layer, #ffffff, set to 'soft light' 100% opacity.
The icon was too dark for my tastes, but duplicating the screen layer made it too washed out. Adding a white soft light layer is a good way to lighten an icon without losing contrast.
>

Step 7) Duplicate base, bring to top, set to 'color burn' 100% opacity, 20% fill.
I was actually just playing around and thought it looked good. I can't really explain my reasoning for doing it.
>

Step 8) Add a new color balance layer with these settings:
Shadows: +6, 0, -3
Midtones: +17, 0, -8
I like to use color balance layers instead of selective color layers to give my coloring a more yellowish/reddish tone.
>

Step 9) Add a new hue/saturation layer with these settings:
Master Saturation +23
I felt the coloring was a little too dull, so I upped the saturation to give the icon a more vibrant coloring.
>

Step 10) Add this light texture, set to 'soft light' 17% opacity.
It's not super noticeable, but It changes the lighting so Sam's face is a little lighter, and the background is a little darker.
>

Step 11) Go back to your base layer and sharpen to your liking.
>

I'm not very good at explaining my reasoning, mainly because when I color icons I just fiddle around until it looks right. I'll usually add steps out of order, and so when I write a tutorial for it it's not at all in the order I made the icon. But I hope this helps. :) (plus it was a nice distraction from studying for finals!)
