Control Freak Tutorial
My second tutorial, featuring Control Freak of Teen Titans.
Done in Adobe Photoshop but I'm pretty sure you could translate it to other programs.

Rules:
- Don't hotlink any of these images.
- You don't have to credit me if you make an icon like this, but if someone asks DON'T SAY YOU DID IT YOURSELF. Because seriously. That's wrong.
- Credit the icon if you use it.
- Don't redistribute this tutorial. Thanks.
Let's start. Now first of all, I used this screenshot from World's Finest.
Alright. I'm assuming that you already know how to resize and crop, so I'm going to skip that beginner stuff. Actually, I don't know how to do that myself so I do that in paint but ANYWAY. You have your base, right?
Ok, so duplicate that layer & set it to screen @ 40%.
Then duplicate the original base, drag it to the top, set it to multiplty @ 30%.
From those steps, your image should look like...
=
Now this part will go by fast XD If you want your icon to look like mine, make your image smaller than 100x100. Mine was 71x85. I know, ugly number. Now move it a little to the left. Now copy a small part of that image and paste it right of the original leaving some space between em. Confused? It should look like this.
=
Now use the rectangular marquee tool (the first tool in photoshop ...the dotted rectangle) and select the small image. Desaturate it. (Ctrl + Shft + U).
=
Merge your layers. Create a new one under it. Use the rectangular marquee tool again to select a square under the image. Select it like this XD
Then use the paint bucket took (bucket looking icon o.o) to fill it in with the color #D86500. A rusty orange. Now remove the part that's between the two images so it looks like this.
=
Now get the brush tool (cmon, the one that looks like a brush.) Select a darker color than the rusty orange border you used. I used #823C1B. Just make a stupid squiggly thing in the bottom left corner XD Then take the color #D86500 again and make a squiggly line going across the bottom.
=
Now for some text. I typed in CONTROL FREAK using the font Surf Safari size 24 using the color #D86500. Rotate it 90 degrees counter clockwise and move it to the spot between to two images.
=
Rasterize the layer and remove the parts that cover the image.
=
And that's it :D
Similar icon XD
