1. Find your image and crop it to 100x100. Convert it to black and white if it isn't already. The Adam one I used already was. Sharpen if needed.
2. Add this tiny text (I don't know who made it, sorry)
and set it to screen 79%.
3. Add this cloud texture made by
lovelamp (I just resized it to icon size)
and set it lighten. its ok if it covers part of the body/face, adjust opacity if needed.
4. Add this texture by
_excentric_ (again, i resized it) and set it to multiply 100%.
5. Add this texture by xswaniconsx
and set it to multiply 100%.
6. Take this texture by
sanami276 and desaturate it. paste it on your icon and set it to lighten.
7. Merge all/flatten,and you're done!
