Tutorial Requests

[helium_icons]

I'm almost done with your requests from the other meme, but I'd just like to say that I'm now open for tutorial requests. Post a link to the icon(s) for which you'd like a tutorial (no more than three, I'd think), and I'll write one ASAP. I'm pretty good about saving a PSD of every icon I make, so chances are that I'll have a PSD for 95% of the

I have a quick question, work program do you use to get your caps? Like do you use Virtual Dub or something?

Thanks ^^

Hmm... I used to use Virtual Dub, but for the STS caps, I used BS Player. :D For the Iloveegg caps, I used a combination of a flash player and an automatic capper; I don't think they were particularly good programs, though >>;

Not a specific icon, but I think a tutorial for the colouring of the shiny!Avatar icons you have in your Avatar100 post would be interesting

[helium_icons]

Allrighty, I'll start working on that :D It's mostly curves with light textures, really, but I've been meaning to write something on curves lately ^^

Donnnee~

That one explains the coloring for the shiny!Earth one, which I think came out the best from those XD;;

B'uh... but there's so many to choose from! *falls over* I'd ask for an animated one, but as I don't think I have an animated programme to use, that's kinda daft ^.^' Okey dokey pokey, after long and hard consideration. I would very much like to see tutorials for:

The best Air Gear icon EVER;
A really lovely coloured & textured icon; and
since you were didn't say it had to be an icon tut, and since I don't know how to make one... A beautiful layout tut, featuring a beautiful li'l angel

And just as a quick quick techincal questions... How do you get your colours sooooo bright on your avatar-sketch icons??? :o Pretty Pwease :3

[helium_icons]

Wait, which part of the layout? o_o Because I'm still working out coding myself XD;; I could point you to a great Smooth Sailing CSS breakdown, if you'd like. :B

As for the Avatar sketch icons, all you have to do is get a bright color, make a blob with a large, feathered brush, and set it to screen XD

I'll start on the tuts for the first two :D Although the first one might be a little harder, since I merged my layers >> But! I shall try! :D
