So today I finally buckled down to making some icons.
The image was smoothed (one step noise
removal) and then sharpened up (high pass sharpen - Radius 10, Strength
70, Blend Mode: Soft Light) and then colour balanced (it was too
yellow).
This tutorial helped me make his eyes bluer.
This tutorial told me to make two copies of the base and set the
middle one to screen and the top to soft light and desaturate it. And
that's how I got the cool effect in these icons.
The textures are from Anais Dirge (no 1 -
8) and Sparkling Tea (no. 9)
This was inspired by an icon made by
lostluck_icons that I saw
here.

(The Hayden one - yes I know it's completely different. I was inspired
by the font.)

All of these icons are awesome - so bright and bold.
