Ask the maker 3.0!

[aida_rose]

It's time for our third round of Ask the Maker!

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 always, .PSD

Cropping guide of some sort? Specifically your close crops - how you pick the images you do, what things to look for, how to actually make it look good, things like that? :D

[naginis]

Oh, interesting! I'll try to this sometime tomorrow. :)
Thanks for asking!

I'd adore a text guide from you C:

Aw thanks, I can totally do that! :) I'll start working on it later. I love using text even though I can only do it in a few situations.

[adrastea]

I'd love to know how you go about lighting your icons, especially ones like these:

What can we request from you: Anything, I think? I've kept PSD files of nearly all icons (at least since January of this year) so tutorials/guides should be easier this time around. :D
Can we hotlink your icons?: Go right ahead!

I would love a coloring guide from you :)

[erzsebet]

Sure! :D Anything specific you want me to touch on?

[margerydaw_s2]

Particularly interested in your greens and yellows. I have no idea how to make green work.
