I was asked to do a tutorial on how I made this icon (the one I'm posting with). :)

This is awesome!
Thank you, I've made one icon useing most of your steps (some weren't needed due to the coloring and such). Love it.

[lessrest]

Awesome, I'm glad! :D

Oh, you're welcome! It is brilliant, isn't it? :D

Some more on that: if you have an icon with a closer, less negative space:y crop, you can use 0.4 or 0.5 radius instead.
And if the icon is already pretty sharp, you can use soft light mode instead. High pass on soft light gives a more subtle sharpening. :)

Ooh, I'm gonna take a good look at this, that icon is so pretty. And I'm now going to go over and look at your textures as well. The lighting on Doctor Who can be such a pain to work with, they love their blues and reds and the Tardis interior is a nightmare.

Thanks!
lol I like the weird Doctor Who lighting. It's so much fun to play with. :D
