inquisitory ✭ 29; want to give directions

These requests are going extra slow, I'm sorry :') I've already made all the image files for the next three, just need to write them up... but it's easier said than done with me xD

Request by experienced

Go from
to
in Photoshop. Very simple but uses one Selective Color layer, so not translatable. (You could technically make do without it, though~)

This is our base image, so I cropped like this:



Let's start off with #003775 on Exclusion, 100%. No surprises there :')



Now use this grunge texture by threeeyespei (whose username makes me kind of dizzy, lawl all those e's) on Multiply, 100% to really wash the base out %D!



Okay, now that it's sufficiently ugly'd up, let's fix it :DDD Duplicate the base on Soft Light, 100% and you can breathe a sigh of relief!



Hooray, much better :] Now take a glowy dot for great justice! You can either make one yourself (take a brush with a colour, make a circle, and then Gassian Blur it) or use one from a set like this by sanami276. Either way, it should go on Lighten, 100%~



One more step, that was easy! *presses Staples button* 8) haha yeah, take the Selective Color... adjustment layer settings in step 3 of this tutorial by my dear almateria and set it to Soft Light, 100%, and that's it!



If you don't have Selective Coloring, like I said, maybe you could try a Soft Light duplicate of your base with the saturation turned up and see how it goes xD

Other examples:



<< omg Mirai Nikki chapter 25, I died inside *AAA*

I encourage you to go play around and show me your finished icons! DOOO IIIIIIT, I wanna see what you guys come up with~

If you like what you see, why not friend ewidentnie for future updates?
