Dir en grey icons #2

[melinen]

These icons were made because I liked the idea of those two KaoruxToshiya icons in my last batch. So I thought that why not make icons of all members with those pics, and I did. xD And I also made matching simple FO-banners. ^^

Banners ~ 5
Kaoru ~ 4
Toshiya ~ 4
Kyo ~ 4
Die ~ 5
Shinya ~ 5
Pairings ~ 8

These are beautiful! Would you mind doing a tutorial for 12 or 2?

Thank you. ^__^

And sure, I can make tutorials for both.

As for #2, here's what I did with quick steps:
~ I cropped the pic and then duplicated the base, setting it to Screen
~ I flattened the image then duplicated it again, then went to Filter -> Blur -> Gaussian blur with radius 3.0
~ then I went to Edit -> Fade Gaussian blur and set it to Soft light (opacity around 20 but if you want the icon to be darker change the opacity to 100)
~ then I went to Layer -> New adjustment layer -> Hue/Saturation -> Saturation 10 (or 15, I'm not sure...)
~ then I used the textures (the last one Soft light instead of Screen though - then I also duplicated the base and moved it above all the layers with Overlay) and the saturation effect I found from this tutorial
~ then I used this texture (below) with Screen (opacity around 50) and erased it from Toshiya's face and shirt

I'm almost tempted to use all the FO banners... simultenously.... LOL
