[62]; Best of '12 and '13: Icon Remake. I finally did it!

2014-07-07T12:32:34Z

Yep, I finally actually did get around to filling these remake requests! The premise of this challenge was to post a link to your icon community in a comment and people would reply with icons you made that year that they'd like to see you remake.

There were so many built up and so much time has elapsed that I figured I'd make a post for them all. So sorry for the lateness, but I hope you enjoy these nonetheless. Hover over each icon to see who requested it!

[61]; The biggest icon batch (dump, rather) that I ever have or ever will post!

2014-06-15T19:57:34Z

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been unbelievably busy this year but despite it all, I'm not quite ready to let this place go just yet. Here is a humongous icon dump of all of the icons I could find that I have made and never posted or posted but not yet here. I hope you enjoy them! :)

[47]; Tutorial 07-10: Misfits, Breaking Bad, Teen Wolf & The Hour

2013-02-18T13:04:59Z

I am so sorry these took so long, and I am working on the texture requests right now (which are still open, by the way! click here to sign up)!

requested by deadwillwalk at ask the maker!

>

STEP 1. This is the cap I used, for reference. I cropped it down to size, duplicated the base and set it to Screen and then duplicated the Screen layer and set it to Soft Light.

> >

STEP 2. I knew I wanted something ultra vibrant, so to bring out the underlying colors in the cap I added a Selective Coloring layer with the following settings:

RED:
Cyan: -100
Magenta: +100
Yellow: -100
YELLOW:
Cyan: -100
Magenta: -100
Yellow: +100
GREEN:
Cyan: +100
Magenta: -100
Yellow: +100
CYAN:
Cyan: +100
Magenta: +100
Yellow: -100
BLUE:
Cyan: +100
Magenta: +100
Yellow: -100

And duplicated this layer twice.

> >

STEP 3. I wanted to add some contrast as well as some earthy tones, so I added a Gradient Map layer with the default copper gradient and set that layer to Soft Light at 46%. (Thank you, fuuurs, for this trick!)

>

STEP 4. To add some softness and even more vibrance, I merged everything onto a new layer by pressing CTRL+Shift+E and added a Guassian Blur at around 13.0. I then set that layer to Soft Light, and to add in some cool tones and lighting added this texture by pamkips also set to Soft Light.

+ >

STEP 5. At this point I wanted to lower the brightness a tad and add some contrast, so I added a Brightness/Contrast layer as well as a Vibrance layer all the way to 100. On the Vibrance layer, I added a layer mask and masked some of her face:

> + Vibrance + Mask >

STEP 6. To add even more lighting, I used this texture by innocent_lexys which I made black and white and set to Soft Light and duplicated.

> > >

STEP 7. To add even more lighting (all the lightings, tbh) I inverted and guassian blurred (at around 10) this texture by lumsx and set it to Soft Light.

> > >

STEP 8. To tone down the whites, I added another Selective Coloring layer and with White selected in the drop-down menu, pushed the Yellow around +50.

>

STEP 9. Almost done! Now it's time to sharpen. I merged everything onto a new layer again (by pressing CTRL+Shift+E) and then I went to Filter > Artistic > Paint Daubs with the following settings and turned that layer down to %20:

>

STEP 10. I wanted a little more softness and vibrance so I merged everything onto yet another layer, Guassian Blurred it at around 15.0, added a layer mask and masked around her face so that only her hair and the areas around her face were affected and set it to Soft Light.

> >

requested by jsfunction at ask the maker!

>

STEP 1. This is the cap I used, for reference. Unfortunately, in the PSD I have I had merged the layers I used to prep the cap so I am not 100% sure how I did that. I am fairly certain that I just used duplicated Screen and Soft Light layers, though. And I also know that the blue wall was a little splotchy and uneven, so I took a hard brush at #0709e6 on a new layer set to Lighten and brushed over it. I turned that layer's opacity down to around %60 so that it wasn't so severe.

STEP 2. The first thing I did was take this texture by lumsx and added a Guassian Blur at 13.0. I set it to Soft Light and duplicated it twice.

>

STEP 3. I then took this texture by lookslikerain, set it to Soft Light and masked it around the left-hand side and over Jesse.

> >

STEP 4. I then added this texture by endearest, Guassian Blurred it at 13.0 and set it to Screen while lowering the opacity of that layer to 68%.

> >

STEP 5. I then merged everything onto a new layer, Guassian Blurred at around 3.0 and set it to Soft Light.

> >

STEP 6. To add some lighting I added a black and white Gradient Fill layer at 150.63 degrees and set it to Soft Light. I also merged everything onto a new layer, went to Filter > Artistic > Paint Daubs with the following settings and turned that layer down to %10:

+ >

requested by kayable at ask the maker!

>

STEP 1. This is the cap I used, for reference. I cropped it down to size and added a black background and flattened the image. To brighten the whites and deepen the blacks, I duplicated the base and set it to Screen and then duplicated that layer four times. Four times! I duplicated it once more and switched it to Soft Light, which made it a tad too dark so I again duplicated this and switched it to Screen.

> > >

STEP 2. I knew I wanted this to be somewhat negative space, so I merged everything onto a new layer by pressing CTRL+Shift+E, filled a brand new layer with black and pushed that layer below the merged layer. I then added a layer mask to the merged layer and brushed around Allison, like so:

>

STEP 3. I then added a new Gradient Map layer with #07001c and #b9fbfc as the colors.

>

STEP 4. Gradient maps can sometimes make an icon look flat, so to deepen the shadows and give it some lighting I added this texture by innocent_lexys which I turned black and white and set to Soft Light.

> >

STEP 5. Here is where I started going crazy with the textures. I added this texture by (unknown, let me know if you know!) set to Screen at 73%. It made Allison look a bit too foggy at the top, so I added a layer mask and softly brushed the top.

> >

STEP 6. I then added this texture by (unknown, let me know if you know!) set to Screen and masked over Allison.

> >

STEP 7. I then added this texture by (unknown, let me know if you know!) set to Screen, and this texture by happy_harper13 set to Screen.

> + >

STEP 8. I took this texture by innocent_lexys again and turned it black and white and set to Soft Light.

> >

STEP 9. I then added this texture by (unknown, let me know if you know!) set to Soft Light and took this texture by likealight and set it to Screen.

> > >

STEP 10. Now it's time to add the text! Here are my text settings (#e2b64d), and the text is rasterized with a 0.3 gaussian blur on it set to screen.

>

STEP 11. I then merged everything onto a new layer, added a Guassian Blur at around 15.0 and set it to Soft Light.

>

STEP 12. Time to sharpen! I went to Filter > Artistic > Paint Daubs with the following settings and turned that layer down to %10:

>

requested by dixon at ask the maker!

>

STEP 1. I used this cap and this cap, for reference. The first thing I did was take the first cap and crop it down to size as well as nudge it towards the top of the canvas. I then duplicated that layer and set it to Screen, added a Vibrance layer at 100 and finally added a Gradient Map with #556270 and #cff09e for the colors and set it to Soft Light.

> >
>

STEP 2. I then filled the very background layer with black and took the Marquee Tool and selected the little chunk of the back of her typewriter and pasted it several times vertically down the icon. To make it smooth, I simply took a small, round hard brush and smudged everything downward.

> >

STEP 3. The left side of the typewriter is a little thick and asymmetrical, so I added a new layer and took a 1px round brush and colored a tiny stright line down the side of it using the dark green color of the background.

>

STEP 4. It's now time to prep the other cap! I cropped it down to size, duplicated it and set it to Screen and then cut off the unwanted part of the cap on the right and pasted it onto the other cap.

> > >

STEP 5. I then set that layer to Screen, duplicated it and set it to Soft Light and added a layer mask and masked over the right side and part of the middle.

> + >

STEP 6. I then added a Gradient Map with #0e0609 and #d1f0de as the colors, set it to Soft Light and duplicated it once.

> >

STEP 7. I wanted it to look a little more aged and also add some earthy tones, so I added this texture by unknown (let me know if you know!) and set it to Screen, then duplicated it and set it to Soft Light.

> >

STEP 8. I wanted the icon a little brighter, so I merged everything onto a new layer by pressing CTRL+Shift+E and setting it to Screen. I added a layer mask to this layer and masked the bottom middle.

> >

STEP 9. Time to sharpen! I merged everything onto a new layer again (by pressing CTRL+Shift+E) and then I went to Filter > Artistic > Paint Daubs with the following settings and turned that layer down to %10:

>

STEP 10. Finally, since some of the edges were looking a teensy bit jagged, I merged everything onto yet another new layer and took a 2px hard/round brush and the Smudge tool at 22% strength and gently smudged around the edges.

[42]; 2012 Icon Progression Post.

2013-01-02T12:08:45Z

January

I posted 0 icons in January, but I did post one large texture set which can be found here.

February

53 icons in one post. In February I made a lot of silly, jerky, non-serious GIF icons of terrible quality and a very select few I really liked even though I was definitely enjoying the icon making process and learning!

March

70 icons in one post. I like this set, though at the time I was using a lot of the same effects/coloring on these icons and still learning the ropes (technically I still am, but that's besides the point :)

April

138 icons spread across these three posts. This was when I really started to experiment and dig the stuff I was coming up with. I learned about Gradient Maps and Vibrance and started to work on my composition.

May

icons in one post for my very first submission into any challenge community in inspired20in20. I was really proud of this set, and still am because I think it's the one set where I can tell I really pushed myself and loved the result, even if I was still making mistakes. I was obsessed with dark purple/violet Lighten layers here, especially paired with yellow then.

June

Another 20 icons for inspired20in20. This was the time I started experimenting with shadows and grungey textures and was still obsessed with purple Lighten layers! I really loved this set and still do.

July

This was right after theiconquest opened and I was enthralled and cranking out more icons than I ever had because it was so much fun! I posted three different sets this month and theiconquest really inspired me to experiment even more than I already was and it was a blast.

August

Two more sets for theiconquest, totaling 51 icons in August. One of them was fully inspired by the insanely talented sarisafari! I was experimenting with gradient maps, composition and making simple yet really vibrant icons.

September

One post with 14 icons for the7days. I was, and still am, really proud of that Katniss icon and was very inspired by both of these challenges. Text is my weakness and I still need to work on it but I

October

21 icons in one post. Not entirely thrilled with this post but I was working on shadows and cut-outs and did an okay job, I think.

November

One post with 50 icons total -- some for thevampdiaelite, the7days and sortedchallenge. I was (and still very much am) working on growing into my "style", whatever that may be, so a lot of experimentation was and still is taking place. I made some really soft, glowy and vibrant Breaking Bad icons, played around with blocking and text and blending and tried to push myself yet still made some semi-decent simple icons too.

December

My most recent (as in, uh.. 5 minutes ago) icon post. I was the lovely and talented wildpages' Secret Santa at tasteislife, made quite a few icons for her and I hope she enjoys them! I am still working on my text, working on not oversharpening and/or oversaturating, trying to experiment with new crops and fandoms. I'm not where I want to be just yet but I'm still having fun and that's all that matters.

Goodbye, 2012

! Though I've been dabbling in graphic design for around 7 years now, 2012 was the year I started taking it more seriously and I'll always remember that. I hope 2013 treats me and all of you well!

Also thank you, rocketgirl2, for this gorgeous icon progression post template! :)
