Uh eheheheh.
Another tutorial, how great~ I'm not addicted to them, I swear!
From
to
in PSPX.
Extremely easy, but produces a nice result~
1. Find your image, crop/resize to your likening, and Desaturate. This is very important.
After that, you have the base.
2. Duplicate your base and set it to Soft Light, 100%.
3. Make a new layer and fill it with #0c2562
and set it to Ligthen, 100%.
4. Use these two textures
by
awmpdotnet and set them both to Hard Light, 100%.
5. Make a new layer and fill it with #0c2562
[again] and set it to Exclusion, 100%.
6. Duplicate your base, bring it to top and set it to Overlay, 90%.
7. Add a border of your likening by means of your likening [Stroke, Selection Borders or just a brush].
I made a three-pixel border in #fefbf5 and a one-pixel border in #323a56.
And ta-dah, you've just made a beautiful yet simple icon~
