Made in Photoshop CS2, uses an optional selective coloring layer. I'm writing this assuming you know the basics of cropping, sharpening, blending modes, etc.

This coloring I really like because it adds rich, earthy tones to a fairly muted icon (i.e., an icon made from Zack's super-gray death scene! >_>). This is a nice coloring because it stands on its own, but you can also dress it up with a selective color layer or a dark blue exclusion layer or whatever when you're done.

Thanks for looking!
