Requested by r0cktonight ~

First Tutorial~

We’ll go from to this

01. First of all, start with your image. We’ll be using the super gorgeous Kuran Kaname from Vampire Knight (okay, not super gorgeous because Zero is still my first love!). Crop it into icon size. Now, it’s time for coloring.
02. Duplicated your base four times. Set the first two bases into Screen 100% and the third one into Screen 30%. Well, you can adjust it in whatever you like.
03. We still have the last duplicated base. Set the last duplicated base into Softlight 100%. Adjust it if still looks dark or light.
04. Now, it’s time to colorize this boring icon. Make a new layer and fill it up with #6DCFF6 and set it to Saturation 30%. Again, adjust it if you like.
05. Then, go to the toolbar and select Layer. A dropdown list will come out. Select New Adjustment Layer then choose Selective Color. You can play around the colors if you wish to. Here is mine:

REDS:
Cyan: -100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 25
Black: 0

YELLOWS:
Cyan: 0
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 50
Black: 0

BLUES:
Cyan: 0
Magenta: 25
Yellow: 0
Black: 0

06. Make a new layer and fill it up with # 003562 and set it to Lighten 100%.
07. Duplicate the original base and set it to Softlight 80%. Adjust if you wish.

Here are other examples. I played around Selective Color and the opacity in these icons so don't be surprised:

Second Tutorial~

We’ll go from to this

01. We’ll start with the images of Cross Yuuki and Kiryuu Zero of Vampire Knight. These are two images which I cropped into an icon size one. Do as you wish when cropping~
02. Duplicate your base and set it into Softlight 100%.
03. Create a new layer and fill it with #6DCFF6 and set it into Saturation 30%. Adjust the opacity as you wish~
04. Then, go to the toolbar and select Layer. A dropdown list will come out. Select New Adjustment Layer then choose Selective Color. You can play around the colors if you wish to. Here is mine:

REDS:
Cyan: -100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 25
Black: 0

YELLOWS:
Cyan: -100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 50
Black: 0

CYANS:
Cyan: 100
Magenta: 0
Yellow: 0
Black: 0

MAGENTAS:
Cyan: 0
Magenta: 100
Yellow: 0
Black: 0

WHITES:
Cyan: 0
Magenta: 100
Yellow: -50
Black: 0

05. Make a new layer and fill it up with # 003562 and set it to Lighten 100%.
06. Duplicate the original base and set it to Softlight 100%. Adjust if you wish.

Here are other examples. I also played around Selective Color and played around the opacity, adjusting it a bit:

NOTE: I want to see your icons with this tutorial used! :D Sankyuu~

* This manga will make you laugh, will make you cry and most of all, will make you fall in love all over again. Better read than to be watch, guys. I'm not buying the anime 'cause it's too fast-pace but I'm watching few of the episodes. Teehee.

After being away for some time, I'm finally back with a batch of icons. Schoolwork has been devouring me alive and I'm totally dizzy, looking at the monitor right now. I also made a friends only banner since I'm feeling slightly creative today. Well, that's it for now. Will update in few days (or weeks, if my schedule permits). :D

Ah. I've been watching Vampire Knight since Tuesday and heck, I'm getting excited. The whole anime series has been poisoning my mind right now. I'm also watching xxxHolic but I haven't watch episode 03. Well, let's get this finish since it's almost lunch time here.

As I'm writing, I'm falling more and more to Morita Shinobu (Honey and Clover). I don't know why but his kinky ideas and funny attitude, Cupid really stabbed my heart not with an arrow but with a knife. Haha! :) I love Shinobu-chan!

Okay, this community is not so dead! In fact, I spent two hours making these new batch of icons (Adobe Photoshop is turning into a wreck that's why it took me two hours to put only 30 icons!). As the story goes, the owner of this community is so damn lazy to update. But anyway, as a treat, here are the icons I made, just for you!
