1] Prep your base however you usually would. Since I am going to be doing a little of erasing duplicates of the base later on, if you might not want to resize the base too small if you are not comfortable with working on a small canvas. I also sharpened the base once.
2] Duplicate the base and set it to Gaussian Blur at 7.3. Then set it to screen at 20%.
3] Create a Colour Balance layer and set to the following:
SHADOWS: -30, -8, -17
MIDTONES: 7, -19, -12
HIGHLIGHTS: -16, -12, 9
4] Create a Selective Colouring layer and set to the following:
REDS
c: -30
m: 21
y: 28
b: 0
YELLOWS
c: -41
m: 21
y: 54
b: 30
GREENS
c: -28
m: 17
y: -47
b: 0
CYANS
c: 32
m: 61
y: 100
b: -1
WHITES
c: -21
m: 11
y: 15
b:-38
NEUTRALS
c: 16
m: 9
y: 16
b: -13
5] Create a Levels layer and set to the following:
RGB
input: 0, 0.88, 255
output: 0, 255
RED
input: 20, 1.09, 242
output: 0, 255
GREEN
input: 0, 0.93, 255
output: 0, 255
BLUE
input: 7, 1.00, 255
output: 29, 238
5] Create a Curves layer and set to the following:
RGB
point one: 119 input, 134 output
point two: 193 input, 190 output
RED
point one: 122 input, 137 output
point two: 185 input, 179 output
GREEN
point one: 47 input, 36 output
point two: 121 input, 135 output
BLUE
point one: 119 input, 139 output
point two: 193 input, 193 output
6] Create a new layer and flood fill with #051C23. Set to Exclusion at 100%.
7] Create a Selective Colouring layer and set to the following:
REDS
c: -14
m: 23
y: 6
b: 15
YELLOWS
c: 0
m: 0
y: 35
b: -16
NEUTRALS
c: 10
m: 13
y: 11
b: -16
8] Now you need to select all the layers and use the copy merge option. Pasted this new layer between your base and the screen layer then desaturate the layer.
9] Now this is where the erasing I was talking about earlier comes in. Erase whatever area you want to stay in colour which, for this icon, was obviously our buddy Nomar. When you are done set this layer to Colour at 100%.
10] Add your text, brushes, ect and flatten. I used a scratch brush by daisukicons and Tahoma for the font.
