Mod's Choice...oooh thank you. ^_^

Now how did I know that first place icon was amethyststeam's and was going to win first? I swear that's not hindsight bias at work - that icon is pretty siffy.

"spiffy"...typo queen here.

xDD

And to your other post; it was an icon I made awhile ago back when my style was the white layer with a part "erased" with a pretty brush (a similar one to the Eastern Air Temple icon I made that won at avatarstillness) and a text brush that has a cool effect. :3 (This is one of the few times I use text brushes now xD)

Or maybe something else? I dunno. xD

But thanks to all who voted for mine and congrats to the other winners! =DD (poipu, I've seen you and a bunch of other people do that effect--tutorial please? xD I <3 that effect.)

And yours was hilarious, icedragoncat. xDD

Looks like it's just a mask brush (ohdiamond made a similar icon as you can see here), but if I had to do it from scratch, I'd use the rounded rectangle vector tool in Photoshop, draw a rectangle, rotate it, duplicate it, select it, invert the selection, then erase the (most likely rotated) base image that's outside the selection (did that make sense?).

If you don't have the rounded rectangle vector tool, you can use belumina's Rounded Edges Tutorial in its place and then follow the same steps.

If you want, I could try it out (I've never used that effect before) and write a tut if poipu's too lazy to XDDD

Oh wow, thanks for third you guys.
I actually liked my other one more (the Sokka with an egg one)... but hey, I'm not complaining. Thank you again!

Your icon is made of all kinds of crazy.
