Hrm, I've been feeling the need for new icons but haven't done anything about it because I like to use icons I make myself. But I suck a lot at using Photoshop or doing anything more complicated than cropping and resizing. And what I've been wanting as icons -- colorized images from the Mushishi manga -- is way more complicated than anything I'd previously attempted.
But then I found a tutorial on icon_tutorial that looked helpful! And managed to produce this!
I am rather impressed by it but don't know if it's any good or if I should do more to it. Maybe I'll have an opinion after I sleep on it.
ETA: Now that I'm looking at it again, the colors are a little muddy. So I think I'm going to color the ground and the background and maybe sharpen it or up the saturation.
ETA2: After playing a bit more, I've managed to create this:
I wish the color in the background was obvious, but at least it isn't so muddy.
