Okay, so much for that last post. :p I'm a horrible no show. Anyway, big post today of simple 五月天 icons. Managed to buy their reunion concert yesterday in Chinatown for $6. AMAZING concert. ;o; would lovelovelovelovelove to see them live one day.

First, apologies for the really late update. I've had these sitting on my drive since January but I just keep forgetting to post them here. Also, hello to new watchers! (and a sad goodbye to those who have left!) The turnover for you guys has been really quick lately, bouncing anywhere from 150 to 175 and it's all my fault since I never update anymore :((((((

Anyway, here's a small batch of icons ranging from a continuation of last post (lyric icons from songs by the Magnetic Fields) to some Alice in Wonderland textless-es. Usually I'm all up for people modifying bases but please note that these textless ones aren't to be edited.

Also, please look forward to a few new tutorials coming your way, especially if you're interested in how I cheat when coloring my manga icons. In that regard, I have a batch of shoujo manga icons coming soon. XD

fonts reference

babbled — Mon, 29 May 2006 05:33:52 GMT

I get a few questions about the fonts I use now and then. Most fonts that weren't default fonts I downloaded from dafont.com. Lovely site.
Anyway, I hope this helped?

babbled — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 14:38:25 GMT

Haha I noticed today that we passed the 111 members mark. I had wanted to do something fun for that but I guess I missed it.

Well, so to compensate: taking requests for first 10 commentors.
Yes, actual requests instead of just listed-interests.
Please include a link to your image, desired text (if any, and it really better not be too long).
No placeholding.

OR, instead of an icon you can request a tutorial for an icon I've made and I'll try to best remember how I did it/duplicate the style to show you.

Madagascar wibble tutorial (PS 7.0)

babbled — Thu, 17 Nov 2005 04:03:50 GMT

Get from this to !

Crop this base image (capped by dj43) to a 100x100 base.

Here was my result:

Copy the layer and set the copied layer to "multiply." Set the opacity to 61%. The layers all-together should look like this:

Now copy the first layer again and paste it over layer 2. Set the layer to "screen." The layers all-together should look like this:

Merge the second layer down. Merge the third layer down.

It's still not as bright/vivid as I'd like. So I repeated the process. I copied and pasted it.

I set that layer to multiply, opacity 30%, this is what all the layers look like together:

Now, of course I don't want it so dark. I pasted over the multiply layer and set it to screen, opacity 59%. The layers all-together look like this:

Merge the layer set to multiply down. Merge the layer set to screen down.

I like the brightness of the colors, but it's just too blurry. I copied and went to filter >> sharpen >> sharpen. You get this: .

I personally thought that it was too sharp, so I set the sharpened layer to opacity 38%. Here's the result:

Slap on some text and send it to the press!

I chose the font "bubbleboy" since it's currently my favorite icon font. Using the color white, I set it to 17pt, anti-aliasing at "smooth." You can get the font at dafont.com. :)

You get:

Almost done! Now, since the font is white, and so are the clouds, you want the text to stand out. You can set the font to black, but I didn't like it. So I went to the layer style of the text layer and I selected "drop shadow" at blend mode: multiply, opacity: 75%, distance: 5px, spread: 0% and distance: 5px.

Ta da! A few simple steps to change to
