Anything as long as I have the PSD. I promise I'll try to finish all the requests!
Can we hotlink your icons?:
Sure! :)

I'd love an animation tutorial like in this icon!
Also a tutorial for this kind of coloring :D

<3

[afeastforme]

Can I second the coloring request? I've saved that icon even if I haven't watched Daredevil yet! It's amazing!

[dixon]

Aww, so happy you like it!
Sure! I'm already on it! :D

[dixon]

Here you go! :D

[dixon]

Sure thing! You'll be surprised at how easy the animation icon is, lol. I'll have to recreate it since I didn't save the psd but it was pretty simple :)
And for the second one I used a lot of your techniques! So it'll be awesome to show you what I learnt from you :)

[naginis]

Oh yay! :D

[dixon]

Here you go! :D

[sweet_lyri]

Can I request tutorials and/or PSD's for this, this or this, please?

I adore the coloring in all three!!

[dixon]

Hi! Sorry, but psds are not allowed! :( But I can make tuts for the second and third. Sorry, I didn't save the first one!

[sweet_lyri]

Thats fine, I should probably learn to read the rules, lol. I just get excited, lol.

[dixon]

Here you go! :)

Hi! I really love your matte colorings... may I ask you a general guide about those, pretty please? :D Focusing mainly on how you achieve the effect and if you have any tips you'd like to share with us, maybe :P Thanks a lot!

[teaotter]

Ooh, I second this!

[dixon]

Here you go! :)

Hi! Well, to be honest I've learned all that from naginis psds. They're amazing (she's amazing too <33) and I've learnt everything I know about matte coloring from them, so I wouldn't be really comfortable in doing a full guide about it. What I can do is give tips and talk about it in general if that's okay with you! :)
