First time posting! New icon tutorial: Boone's Lost! Using PSP9!!

Wanna learn how to make me?  Clicky Clicky!  I'm not sure how transferable it is!


Here are your layers: 

1.   First, I started with [ this ] cap made by numerocinco.
2.   Then, I cropped it 100x100.
3.   Duplicate base three times resulting in four layers.
        Screen 100%
        Screen 100%
        Soft Light 100%
        Base layer.
     Resulting in this:

4.   Merge all visible layers.  (now called base!)
5.   Add Exclusion layer.  Flood fill with #3e3356.
6.   Using a spin off of [ this ] tutorial (the pics don't work anymore but the words are still there!)
     Turn off visiblity of exclusion layer.
7.   Select a color from the skin, I chose #e1b7a0
8.   Create new layer.  Flood fill with selected skin color.  Duplicate twice resulting in three layers.
        Burn 60%
        Dodge 30%
        Color (Legacy) 25%
                Turn exclusion layer back on.
9.   Add another layer.
10.  Flood fill with gradient light blue dragonfly. 
11.  Duplicate gradient layer resulting in two layers.
        Overlay 50%
        Screen 100%
12.  Add new Exclusion layer.  Flood fill with #3e3356
13.  Duplicate base layer.
14.  Desaturate by going to selecting Shift+H. 
        Lower the saturation to -100.
15.  Unsharpen Mask  Adjust//Sharpness//Unsharpen Mask.
        Settings:
                Radius: 2.00
                Strength: 100
                Clipping: 5
                Luminance Only: Checked

16.  Set Layer to Luminance (Legacy)  and drag above exclusion layer (Check out layers pic at the top for positioning!)
17.  Add new layer and this brush by #FFFFFF.
18.  Using [ this ] tutorial,  create the word "Lost" using ProggyTiny TT, size 11.
Here's the icon again:
