i started to cut the Tamaki figure to place it on the icon base later on.
-To crop the image. You can used, either the "pen tool" or the "layer maks";
for my Tamaki image , i used the "pen tool" for a quick look, you can use as you like :D.

-Fill with #3a9f90
-Paste your cropped image(Tamaki image) ,and resized as you like
-Duplicate your "tamaki image"
-Look carefully this is the tricky part!. Put your copy layer on the buttom,
then, desarute it, image>adjustments>desaturate(ctrl+shift+u),set as Saturation 100%
-Now ,move a little to the side your Saturation image, to make it look like
a shadow,like this:

We are done with the coloring!, now lets do the decoration ;D
-With the "ellipthical marquee tool" I cropped some circle shapes from this two textures,
paste them where you like the most.
-Beacuase i dont want the textures colors to be alter ,i put them above the selective color layers.
-To match the textures,i made a little crown shape #f5d609,with the "custom shape tool"(u)
i move it a little bit crtl+t) to fit the texture circle.
-I created a new layer just above my Tamaki image,below the selective color layers!;
made an other little crown #7f7f7f(to match Tamaki's shadow), i move it a little bit (crtl+t) to make like a shadow for the first crown.
-I added some text above the textures, 'king' with "carnivalee freakshow" font.
-PAste this texture screen 100%
-Paste this other texture,screen 100%
-Add a "hue/saturation" layer, Master saturation +13
-and you are done!! :D Ta-da!
