Since I actually saved this PSD, I thought I might share it so here it is!



But I forgot to keep the settings so I post the PSD and will try to comment each step.

1°) Of course, prepare your base. Mine is from a screencap of Tales of the abyss. Crop it, sharpen it... Do what you want.

2°) Then, add a color layer and fill it with #dac2a6 and set it to lighten (I think it's lighten, I have a french version but it's the last option in your layer choice :D ) luminosity! Thanks
erase_away !

3°) Duplicate your base, pass it on top and set it to soft light. Duplicate it if you want it a bit darker.

4°) First selective color layer. I want my icon less dark so I play with the reds, neutrals... Don't worry, it's a bit purple but it wont' last!

5°) Second selective color layer. No more purple and more beige-brown to darken the icon a bit. And more red!

6°) Duplicate this selective layer color.

7°) Third selective color layer, the icon will be more natural with a bit of brown-beige (again :D)

8°) Another selective layer for character with red hair.  And copy it if you want to.

9°) Add a hue/saturation layer, we need a brighter icon! ^__^ And copy it if you want to.

Please comment and credit mag_icons  if you use this tut. I really think you should play with the settings, more fun!
And here is the PSD.
