Once again I'm a bit behind with keeping my communities on lj and ij up-to-date. Then again, I went from trying to find a job to "start next week and find a flat while living in a pension/boarding house due to the 3 1/2 hour commute by train in one direction*

I didn't really do that much fandom wise... this was originally posted at the end of January on LJ.

So, I won first place in Challenge 121 of severaplums back in November and never actually got around to creating a tutorial for it since I ended up being busy with rl deadlines for university, birthdays and other family events. I haven't really been doing much of anything (outside of modding season20in20 and reading fics).

We're going from to

This tutorial was made with Photoshop CS5 and uses Curves, Hue/Saturation, Gradient Map, Brightness/Contrast and Flood Fill layers.

So, I was invited to do another tutorial and while I was checking which number this tutorial would receive, I found two folder that didn't have a number yet... Confused I checked it out and found out that the two without a number had been posted, but two other tutorials that *had* been numbered hadn't actually been posted to my journal (and therefore weren't re-posted here). I luckily found them on severalplums so I'll just be posting them here right now.

After that you can expect two more new texture tutorials because I received mod's invitation to do one for one or both sets I submitted for Challenge 120 at severalplums and I couldn't decide which one to do :D

But onto the first tutorial I neglected to post here. This was first posted on in 2009 for Challenge 53 at severalplums:D

We're going from to using Photoshop CS3.

I got Mod's Invitation for this icon over at severalplums @LJ and this is my tutorial for it :)

I had it completely written out on Monday, but was too pressured down with two projects to add in the links... One of those two evil projects down and another one is just looking for where the damn error is.

Anyway, this tutorial will be split into two parts. The first part will be the actual icon I made and the second will be about the texture I made for it. They're solely split for neatness.
Be aware that this tutorial is image heavy!!

Both tutorials were made with Photoshop CS3. Individual features used will be listed in the notes for each tutorial.

Tutorial Part 1: Icon

Going from to

Notes:
* uses layer masks, levels and curves.
* unless otherwise stated, layers are set to Normal 100%

( click here for the tutorial )

Tutorial Part 2: Texture

Going from to

Notes:
* uses layer merge, levels and blur filters
* unless otherwise stated, layers are set to Normal 100%
* clicking on the images should lead to their original size.

If you have any questions left, feel free to ask.
