Whoooooooooa. Icon post. I love the new photobucket uploading system, I can just select all of them and it does the uploading automatically! Think of the time I've just earned myself, I could make cupcakes....CUPCAKES everyone!!! Let me know if you want one!

And yes, I still use a Mac so I have absolutely no idea how these look on a PC. Where have all the pretty colours gone.....

So umm, yeah. An update, YAY! I recently got a mac computer so I'm not sure how the colours will look on a PC as a mac automatically makes everything and anything look awesome...that is all. :)

Also, some of these are over 40KB, so I'm trying to work on reducing those sizes so they will upload.

Hopefully I filled everyones' requests to at least some satisfaction. If something you requested isn't here it was because I tried and tried and couldn't make the image work (with my style at least). Otherwise they are planned to be part of a super-crazy-mega-break-my-computer-forcing-me-to-upgrade-to-vista post.

Also, from this I learnt that I DEEPLY want to make old school Buffy and LOTR icons. Requests are life-changing indeed.

ofthe_sky — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 05:40:33 GMT

Hey everyone!

I'm finding it hard to think of what to icon so REQUESTS are open.

Please provide an image or some pictures or a link to a website with rocking good quality screencaps of what you want iconised. Also, feel free to let me know about icon design styles you like and I'll try make the icon match to that. OR I could go completely the other way and terrorise the image with blah-ugly hues and tones. Depends what the picture gives itself to be made into!

Anyone feel free to request. :)

TUTORIAL #03

ofthe_sky — Fri, 14 Jul 2006 05:09:32 GMT

This tutorial follows the process I used to make all the icons in this batch of icons I did. I made this using PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 4.0, however since Photoshop programs are nearly all alike I'm sure it's easily translatable.

How to make this icon:

Step 1:

Crop it how you like it.

Step 2:

Duplicate the base and set the top layer to SCREEN. Change the SCREEN layer's opacity to 60%.

Step 3:

Set this square to EXCLUSION on top of your base and screened layer. Put its opacity to 55%.

Step 4:

FLATTEN the image. [This can be done by going to LAYER in the menu bar then FLATTEN IMAGE].

Step 5:

You should now have one layer, duplicate this and set this top layer to SOFT LIGHT.

Step 6:

Using the "soft light" layer, go to ENHANCE in the menu bar then ADJUST COLOUR than COLOUR VARIATIONS.
I pressed the DECREASE RED option once.
[If you are using normal Photoshop, this same thing can be done by going to Image than Adjustments than Variations - thanks to areyoudying].

Step 7:

In the "soft light" layer I increased the saturation by +65 and the brightness by +30.
[Adjust saturation can be found under ENHANCE in the menu bar than ADJUST COLOUR. Adjust brightness can be found under ENHANCE in the menu bar than ADJUST BRIGHTNESS/CONTRAST.]

Step 8:

In the base layer I increased the saturation by +20.

Step 9:

In the "soft light" layer I increased saturation by +50 and I also sharpened the layer.

Step 10:

And then I needed to increase the saturation some more because Photobucket decreases colour vibrancy when I upload icons. But technically I was finished after step 9.

FINISHED! Now it's really only a matter of finding the right balance between brightness and saturation for different images.

If you have made any icons using this tutorial I would love to see them and if you have any questions feel free to ask! :)
