It's time to kick off our 4th round of Ask the Maker! here at icon_talk

Here you'll get the chance to ask icon makers who sign up questions about their icons and other graphics. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions regarding their work so the makers can compile a Q&A post with the answers to all the questions they get. As ( Read more... )

Username + where you post your work? calrissian18 @ booshsploosh
What can we request from you (tutorials, Q&A, guides etc. .PSDs are not allowed?: I don't think there's anything that I know of right now that I can't give you. Ask away and I'll slog through making it happen!
Can we hotlink your icons?: Absotootly you can

I'd love to see tutorials for these two icons. :)

Okay, my tutorial for the second one is up here and I have like crazy bad ADD because I COULD NOT make myself remake the icon so instead I made a totally new icon with the same composition. *cringes* Don't hate me!

I'll be back when I've got the first one done too! ;) Thanks so much for the questions, bb!!!

I would love love love a text guide from you! I absolutely love the way you use text!

Here it is, love: epically long text guide. It didn't kill me, though it tried. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask! I actually had a HELLA FUN time putting it together! *hugs*

Aw, thank you! It's not but I'll take it, lol! ;)
I don't really do anything special. I just mask away the background pretty much 95% of the time with a hard brush (which according to every tutorial I've ever read: is not the way to do it - so you probably shouldn't listen to me *snorts*). The other 5% of the time I use the polygonal lasso tool and then a hard brush for the teeny bit it might miss. If you need me to be any more specific just let me know!

hmm, seems like it's just me that sucks not my technique XD
well. I am gonna preactice a little bit more, maybe I'll get better some day ^^
