Username + where you post your work: daynawashere @ gosh_darn_icons
What can we request from you (tutorials, Q&A, guides etc. .PSDs are not allowed: Anything I guess! I'll do my best to complete as much as possible! Just a heads up, I mostly only have PSDs from my most recent post so if you want a full tutorial, that might be a good place to start. I'm definitely willing to attempt to recreate other icons, but it might take longer :)
Can we hotlink your icons?: Sure!

Oh, I would love a tutorial for these two, please. :)

[daynawashere]

Sure! Those are both actually quite simple, it hopefully won't take me long! :D

I would absolutely love a tutorial for this icon! :)

Okay, I will try to remember how I did it, it might take a while though!

I would love to know how your texture making process works.You have such great textures, that I use a lot by the way, that I just though to ask. Where do you find caps? If you make them yourself, if you have tips on making them.
And maybe tuts on these two? *I've been obsessing on their coloring*

[queen_bartonia]

Thank you so much!

I'm a little embarrassed by that second icon -- actually by how many layers it took to make. I did it all wrong about 6 times before I finally got the coloring I wanted!

But I can definitely write somethign up for the first icon. :)

As for my texture-making process, these days I'm posting stuff I've had in my "to use" folder but haven't known what to do with. A lack of creativity on my part is other people's gain, I think. :P

Sets nu,mbered 1-13 are all textures I've made myself, usually from larger pieces that I've chopped up. A lot of the textures I made when I first started posting at contextures were using photos I'd taken and then manipulated.

For example:

What can we request from you (tutorials, Q&A, guides etc. .PSDs are not allowed): Anything you need. I don't know if I'll be able to explain much about the older icons, but I can do anything from newer posts or any general Q&A/guides.
Can we hotlink your icons?: Go ahead.

[dixon]

A tut for this icon would be awesome :)

[winklevii]

Writing up the tutorial now! :D

[winklevii]

Wasn't able to get *quite* the same result, but I got pretty close. Tutorial is up here. <3
