Icon tutorial for this icon:



Here's my screencap (thanks to natalie-portman.org)




* So make your base (what i did is this, cropped, sharpened, blurred
teh face a bit, added a white border around it, to make it 100x100,
then flattened teh thing, then, duplicated 4 times, set them all to
screen, and on fourth, i went to brightness/contrast and increased teh
contrast a bit, then duplicated teh base again, set it on top to soft
light and desaturated it...and theres' my base.


*Floodfill #efe1c1, Multiply, 100%


*Gradient, Color burn, 60%

--->

*Same gradient, just rotate it, Color, 20%


*Light texture (___shousei), Screen, 100%

--->

*Gradient, Multiply, 60%

* Duplicate the blue color layer, set it on top, and increase the opacity to 20%
