A requested tutorial. (Hah, I've always wanted to say that! Requested. Not, I am a loser with no social life so I decided to create a tutorial, but a real, honest-to-god, request, as in, I desire to know how you made that wonderful icon, you sexy beast!)

Dude, if I had any art program other than msPaint, I'd be abusing this mutha of a tutorial all over the place. As such, I want you to know this is one of the clearest and easy-to-understand tutorials I've read (ahaha. do I make a habit of reading tutorials? yes. I am that lame). Very nice.

Wtf? Paint? Go be an illegal internet pirate, bitch!

HAVEN'T YOU NOTICED HOW SIMPLE MY ICONS ARE? Damn, woman. All this hate.

darkeyedwolf February 25 2005, 22:04:23 UTC

WELL. YOU CAN MAKE PASSABLE ICONS IN PAINT. It's probably a lot more time-consuming than in, say, PSP, but I've seen it done, like here.

So nyah.

*applauds*

I'm going to try and use that, actually. ^^

darkeyedwolf February 25 2005, 21:44:40 UTC

Ooh, do let me see what you come up with? :D

Here ya go. Not the best, but meh. Yay Ayu!

darkeyedwolf February 26 2005, 02:02:41 UTC

No, I like it! She's very pretty.

Very nicely strutctured tutorial. Clear, consise, and well illustrated. Kudos! That, and it's very informative.

darkeyedwolf February 25 2005, 22:05:16 UTC

Thanks! Glad it was clear, I have a tendency to ramble.

If I ever figure out what the hell I'm doing in Photoshop I do believe I will try this.

darkeyedwolf February 25 2005, 22:06:01 UTC

Look forward to seeing the fruits of your labor, my lovemuffin.

(One question which is actually two in disguise: if I'm trying to download a gradiant or brush, where do I put them so that I can get to them?)

darkeyedwolf February 25 2005, 22:38:12 UTC

You mean how to upload them in your graphics program?

Tell me, does Photoshop Elements have soft light/multiply/overlay/any of the gazillion of terms I've seen thrown around but have not been able to find in my ghetto bargain-basement (but legal!) image manipulation program? that is to say, really nice tutorial.

darkeyedwolf February 25 2005, 22:35:38 UTC

Dude, I have no idea, I'm sorry. I've only ever worked with PSP. Maybe icon_tutorial will have something in their memories... ?

undeadgoat February 25 2005, 23:01:17 UTC

It's a menu on the layers pallette. One of my best friends has Elements, and he does use them on occasion.

THANK YOU. *scurries off to check*
