Ask the maker 3.0!

[aida_rose]

It's time for our third round of Ask the Maker!

Here you'll get the chance to ask icon makers who sign up, questions about their icons and other graphics. You can ask for tutorials, guides/"How to", or ask any other questions regarding their work so the makers can compile a Q&A post with the answers to all the questions they get. As always, .PSD

Username and where I post my work: rebel @ criminal
What can we request from you: Anything. I don't save all my icons as PSDs anymore so I might not be able to recreate some, just a heads up. :)
Can we hotlink your icons?: Sure.

I'd love to hear about how you go about making your complex icons. I don't really care which icons you talk about, but if you're not sure either:

[rebel]

Hi there! Thank you so much for asking and I'd be happy to write something up for you soon! :)

[rebel]

Hello again! I just finished the guide and it ended up being longer than I expected but I had a lot of fun making it, actually. It's basically just a general complex icon guide but I am pretty sure I have all of the PSDs for the icons you provided so if you'd like me to do something specific for anything let me know. Anyway, I hope you like it! Here it is :)

A tutorial or guide for this icon??

[rebel]

Hey there! Thank you so much for asking, I am seriously flattered. Luckily I had the PSD for this icon so a tutorial was really easy and I posted it here. I hope it helps! :)

I'd love a guide on how you manage to keep your icons so dark and grungy without it being TOO dark or making the icon seem low quality.
Would that be possible? c:

Hey! Thanks so much for asking, it means a lot to me. I'd be more than happy to see what I can do about a guide to post soon! :)

[liesmiths]

Wonderful, thank you! Really looking forward to it. c:

[rebel]

Hey there! I wanted to ask if there are any specific icons of mine you are wondering about? I am about to get to work on the guide :)

[liesmiths]

Sorry for the late answer!
I'm mainly boggling about icons like these:

[rebel]

Here you go! I just did a tutorial for each of those icons, if that's okay. I hope you like it :)

[jsfunction]

I adore your icons, but this is definitely one of my favorites:

[rebel]

Hi there! I do have the PSD for it but for some reason a couple layers are missing o.O still, I will do my best to recreate it and post it soon! :)

[rebel]

Here you go! Enjoy :)

If it's at all possible, I'd love a tut for this gorgeous icon:
