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

I'd <3 a grunge guide if you have it in you!

Also, I'd like to know how you select your textures and if there any that are your favorites.

Seconding the grunge guide!

Here it is!

What can we request from you (tutorials, Q&A, guides etc. .PSDs are not allowed: Anything, really, but since most of my icons are made pretty much the same way Q&As and guides are probably a better bet than a specific tutorial.
Can we hotlink your icons?: Suuuure.

[deternot]

Sure! The short answer is really just coloring over using soft light layers with bright tones. Also, using white or paler tones to brush over the highlights but going a bit over the lines like a kid's coloring book gives the shiny feel... I'll pull together a full guide soon!

What can we request from you (tutorials, Q&A, guides etc. .PSDs are not allowed: You can request pretty much anything and I'll try to answer. :)
Can we hotlink your icons?: Yes!

[rocketgirl2]

I'd love to hear something about how you make your textures! It doesn't have to be anything long; just a general overview would be great. :)

[adrastea]

If you want I can make a basic tutorial and a Q/A on textures for you! :)

[rocketgirl2]

That would be so wonderful! Thanks. ♥

Username and where I post my work: margerydaw_s2 at touchofdaw (I have some older stuff on my personal journal on this tag)
What can we request from you: Q/A, general guides. I probably won't be able to give in-depth tutorials on most icons because I don't always save psds, but ask anyway and I'll check if I have them.
Can we hotlink your icons?: Sure, if you absolutely have to.

Hello, i would like to know what font did you use in these icons :)

[margerydaw_s2]

I'm pretty sure it's SF Movie Poster. If not, then it's Roadway.

thanks ♥
