Sadartha Icons

sadartha — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 02:01:31 GMT

I swear I'm not dead!

Now that the new season has started up, I'll be pumping out icons again soon. Look for a new batch this weekend, since I'll be back home and using my rad icon-making computer. (It's got all my presets, actions, brushes, etc.)

Screencaps were all done by me. V. tedious work. I actually went through all of 'All In' and went capping crazy whenever Chase was on camera. How lame is that. :']

You know the rules. Credit in keywords. Thanks.

Tutorial numero 2 - Coloring (Photoshop CS)

sadartha — Sun, 20 Nov 2005 18:23:10 GMT

Learn how to go from this to this:

This icon process is very short for me, but as I used a couple different actions, it'll probably be much longer for you.

But hey. After doing it once, you can make actions out of the steps yourself, and shorten the process considerably.

STEP ONE: Get yourself an image. I used a screencap from the most recent episode of House:

(credit: stelladives :])

STEP TWO: Refer to my first tutorial for this step. This is one of those steps I made into an action, so all I have to do is press my F5 key and it gets done. I suggest you do the same.

STEP THREE: (you should now have a nice cropped base.) Go to your layers window and add a new adjustment layer >> selective color. Click the drop-down menu at the top and scroll to 'blacks.' Drag the clicker on Black all the way to 100%. Click OK and flatten your image.

Icon thus far:

STEP FOUR: Go to Image >> Adjustments >> Curves >> RGB. This step really depends on the image. My settings are below:

You want to lighten your image a bit, and even out the color. Almost 'decontrasting' it.

Flatten your image.

STEP FIVE: Return to your layer window and add another adjustment layer, this time a gradient map (I love gradient maps.) Make sure your foreground and background colors are the defaulted black and white!

Click OK.

STEP SIX: Change the blending mode to soft light.

Flatten, and you're finished!

I really like this effect. It's crisp and bright, but also fairly colorful. :D Enjoy.

Here are two others I made, following the same steps:

I also made this entry's icon using this tutorial.

Holy crackers!

Tutorial numero 1 - Coloring

sadartha — Sun, 23 Oct 2005 02:56:05 GMT

A simple coloring technique that yields brighter, more vivid colors. Very very easy to do!

Go from this kind of image: to this:

STEP ONE: Find image. Let's use this pretty one of Cintia Dicker and friend.

STEP TWO: Duplicate your background layer.

STEP THREE: Go to Image >> Adjustments >> Hue/Saturation. Add about +70 to the saturation.

Click OK. Your image should now be really colorful and kinda scary. No worries. We'll fix it.

STEP FOUR: Go to Image >> Adjustments >> Shadow/Highlight. Adjust settings as you see fit. Depends on the image, but I suggest high amount of shadows. As much as you can get without the image looking TOO funky.

STEP FIVE: Add a layer mask. Go to layer >> Add layer mask >> Reveal All. Your layer window should look like this:

STEP SIX: Select the layer mask. Then go to Image >> Apply Image. Change your adjustments as seen below:

Change the duplicated layer to soft light. And voila! Perfecto. Flatten the image.

Crop it and you're all set.

This creates a much better effect than if you just set the duplicated layer to softlight rather then fiddling with the saturation. It's a lot less colorful:

Comment, credit, blah blah. Icons without text can be used as bases, but credit is still required in some form. Screencaps were acquired from here, and five or so were made by me.

(Just a little sidenote: those chase/foreman icons were actually used in a rather amusing comment war thing here. I loves finding_jay.)
