This was sort of an experiment icon, so it might be a little confusing translated. Hopefully it makes some sense lol

1. Resize your image to 100x100. I usually go to edit > free trasform >hold down the shift key and drag a corner until it's placed and fits properly.
2. Duplicate your base and set it to screen (opacity at 80%). Make a new selective color layer and use these settings:
reds: cyan -100 and yellow to +100
yellows: cyan -70 magenta -16 yellow +40 black -22
to
3. Make another selective color layer and use these settings:
reds: cyan -63 magenta +10 yellow +24 black -15
yellow: cyan +9 magenta -10 yellow -24 black -8
to
4. Make a new curves layer and set it like this for RGB and this for Blue.
to
5. Since there is scenery in the background and we want it solid black, make a new layer, take your paintbrush tool and color in the background.
to
6. Next there is this texture by gender placed over the image and set to hard light. I moved the texture over to the right a bit because part of it was covering up his face. Take your eraser tool and erase the part of the texture over his face and hair.
to
7. Make a new selective color layer and set it to
yellows: cyan +4 magenta +10 yellow +40 black -10
greens: cyan -100 magenta +100 black +20
neutrals: cyan -2 magenta -2 yellow +5 black -6
Merge your layers. We're going to resize the image so go to edit > free transform (remember to double click on that layer to unlock it) hold down shift or click that little link button at the top of the tool bar so everything resizes equally. Make a new layer and set the background color to black.
to
8. For the last part I selected the top part of the texture with the rectangular marquee tool, copied it and pasted it. Then I went edit > free transform and flipped the image upside down and moved it to the bottom of the image.
