Icon Tutorial No. 32: Kamui
This tutorial was requested by
feuillant, who will probably cry when she sees how easy this was to make. This icon won Second at
anime_abc/Week Z.
Level: Easy
Program: Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Go from this to this:
01. Take this image of Kamui and crop it at 96x96 pixels.
You should see something like this:
02. Duplicate the level (CTRL A>>CTRL C>>CTRL V) and sharpen it (FILTER>>SHARPEN>>SHARPEN). I set this layer at 80% opacity, but you should adjust as necessary.
You should see something like this:
03. Open up this light texture by myrasis and paste it onto our canvas (CTRL A>>CTRL C>>CTRL V). Set this layer at SCREEN 100%. Erase any light dots marring Kamui's face.
You should see something like this:
04. Text time: I used Mutlu, Smooth, 18 pt in #797A9B and typed in 'Z', then moved it over to the side. Then I used Carpenter, Strong, 6pt in #797A9B and typed in 'e n i t h', then changed the blending options so there was outer glow and moved it next to the z.
You should see something like this:
05. Create a new layer and use this tiny text brush by me in #797A9B right under 'e n i t h'.
You should see something like this:
06. Merge all the layers (CTRL+SHIFT+E) and open a new 100x100 canvas. Copy our project over (CTRL A>>CTRL C>>CTRL V). Use this corner border brush by me in #797A9B. Save, and you're done!
Your finished product looks something like this:
