Tutorial (#2)

[rinalias_icons]

Made using PSP9. Uses Lens Distortion effect in PSP9.

Please play around with the settings of each layer. Color variations of your base will determine the best settings. :) Works best with scenes, not people.

Difficulty: Easy-Medium

1) Open up your base - resize to 100x100, sharpen if necessary

I love the tut, but it creeped me out so bad at first. I see that photo on a weekly basis now due to my Photoshop class. I just went o.O

It's memm'ed however. :)

Like I said, I've used this technique a lot - so much in fact that I made myself a PSP script for it.

I've posted some icons I've made in an assorted icon post, with a credit to yourself for the tutorial - hope that's ok (pls let me know if not!)- it's here.

That's totally okay - I'm super happy it's been of use!

You don't have to credit me, though I greatly appreciate the gesture. To me, tutorials are templates - they give you the base upon which you create the final product. :)
