From

.
Made in GIMP.
Fairly simple and translatable.
Do NOT hotlink any of the images!
Inspired/Made with help by THIS tutorial by
allthepeople.
1. Open your image. (I am using a base by
_ladydisdain).
2. Duplicate it and set it to screen at 100% opacity. Merge.
3. Duplicate. Go to Layers > Colors > Color Balance with the following settings:
MIDTONES: -100, -38, 49
SHADOWS: 0, 0, 25
HIGHLIGHTS: 6, -8, 0
4. Select Layers > Colors > Hue-Saturation, and set saturation to 62.
4. Go to Layers > Colors > Curves with the following settings:
RED CHANNEL
point 1: 183, 217
BLUE CHANNEL
point 1: 163, 191
5. Go again to Layers > Colors > Color Balance with these settings:
MIDTONES: -48, 20, 39
SHADOWS: -12, 27, 18
HIGHLIGHTS: 0, 11, 2
6. Now on this newly colored, duplicated layer, lower the opacity to 50%.
7. Create a new layer. Flood fill it with yellow, (#f4f864). Set it to overlay at 44% opacity.
8. Create a new layer. Flood fill it with dark blue (#005b7f). Set it difference at 15% opacity.
9. Create a new layer. Flood fill it with a light pink (##f6e4d8. Set it to multiply at 100% opacity.
10. Take the very bottom layer, the base you started with, and raise it to the very top. Set it to soft light at 40% opacity.
11. Merge all layers, and you're done!
I hope you enjoyed this and can make some great icons! ^^
