Made on PS CS using colour balance, colour fills, selective colouring, and levels. Is not translatable.


1] As always you have to find you picture or cap, crop it, and all the nice stuff you like to do to get your icons ready.

2] Create a Colour Balance layer and set to the folling:

SHADOWS: 0, -10, 13
MIDTONES: -23, 20, 19
HIGHLIGHTS: -6, -26, -17

3] Create a new layer and flood fill with #CEC3D3. Set to Colour Burn at 100%.

4] Create a new layer and flood fill with #0C151E. Set to Exclusion at 100%.

5] Create a new layer and flood fill with #0C151E. Set to Exclusion at 100%.

6] Create a new layer and flood fill with #F5EDD3. Set to Soft Light at 100%.

7] Create a Selective Colouring layer and set to the folling:

8] Create a Levels layer and set to the folling:

output: 0, 237

RED

SHADOWS: -22, 10, -16
MIDTONES: -13, -9, -29

9] Duplicate your base, desaturate it and bring it to the top. Set the layer to Soft Light at 47%.

10] Create a new layer and flood fill with #DBDBDB. Set to Multiply at 31%.

11] Add your brushes, text, ect. For this icon I used Stellina at 20 pt and this texture that I came up with while messing around on paintshop the other day. Merge everything and yayz, you have an icon!

NOTE: This tutorial works with most pictures and caps that I tried it on but sometimes you have to tweek the numbers a bit to get it to work.
