First Icon batch!

[asteroid_girl]

 +Hi everyone! I've been messing around with GIMP lately and after looking at a couple tutorials, I decided to try to make some icons ^.^ I really don't have a proper method of making icons...I mostly just mess around with textures and brushes, lol. But if anyone knows any more sites that have wonderful icon tutorials, please let me know! I really

As I said earlier, these are really pretty. ;X I don't know any GIMP tutorials unfortunately (I used photoshop), aside from how someone posted one here.

I tried to read comics when I was little, but I never got very far. X-Men has always been my favorite, but I'll admit to going mostly by the animated show/movies... DX

Thank you :D That tutorial is wonderful, so thanks again! I'm planning on buying Photoshop once I get money from school but for know I'm stuck with GIMP it's not a bad program but I feel that Photoshop would run more smoothly.

That's how I got familiar with X-men too, lol. I'd wake up early on Saturdays just to watch X-men Evolutions on the WB...ah, good times x)

The icons are so cuuuuute ♥ -- also, how did you put the backgrounds behind Zidane and iforgethernameallthetime Garnet? I'm just wondering if there is an easier way of doing it 'cause I have to painstakingly remove whatever background there is manually before putting in a texture ;-;

Thank you :3

For number 3, I use a similar method too. I remove the background by using the free select tool on Zidane and Garnet, which is a pain in the butt like you said :/ As for number 8, the background was part of the artwork, so I didn't need to remove the background. I'd also love a more easier method, lol.

Oh god, #03 came out gorgeous though. When I try and take out the original background it comes out pretty crappy if I'm not careful xD

But darn, I thought there was an easier method 'cause yours looked so nice! ahhahaha. Thank you though and a;woiejslfkj pretty icons are pretty ♥

Thanks *blushes*! It usually takes me three or four times to select the image since my hand twitches every now and so I have to start over, lol. It might be easier with a tablet I think, which is why I'm saving up for one. :D
