Ask the maker 4.0!

[aida_rose]

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

May I ask if you can write a tutorial/guide (with images) for your paint technique??? I really adore it! :)

[afeastforme]

OMG.
YES, yes, I definitely will, but if you've something particular in mind, dunno, in icon you particularly like, that would help a bit, because honestly, I don't know where to start with this!

[kateheightmeyer]

Yesh, of course, give me a second :D .

[afeastforme]

OOOH! Okay great!
Basically yesterday I spend the afternoon filming the creation of a painted icon, I've to ask if videos are okay as references for tutorial, because I don't really know if still images only will do!
(btw, that brienne icon was a lucky shot XD) anyway sure! I'll make the game tut!

[kateheightmeyer]

Ohhhhh! Yeah, videos are great! I don't watch any ps-tutorial videos yet, but I'm excited to see yours!

I adore the Brienne icon! And her, but I love the effect on her hair! *flails*

I'll make the game tut!
AWWWWWWWWWWW! Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! <333

TIPS ARE FINE AHAH

[afeastforme]

The tips are here, I've made a general/preparation guide and a few comments about pale colouring!

[wellhalesbells]

Wow, you have so many gorgeous icons I want to know about! *bounces and chews on nails fitfully*

A tutorial for this icon:

[afeastforme]

OH MY GOSH, thank you!
Sherlock tutorial #1 is here

Some things: the second and the fifth, were made following these tips here about background removal, and painted lines, the fonts are rockwell in the second and intro and novecento wide in the fifth!

I don't know if I still have the psd of the fourth, so don't really count on that one (sorry!) and the third is a bit messy, so there's anything in particular you want to know?

[wellhalesbells]

YOU ARE A GOD!!! Thank you soooo much, I'm also digging that paint guide you made for someone else so I shall have to obsess over that as well for a bit.

Thank you, thank you, thank you again!!!
