Ooooh another amazing piece ... I even appreciate your arts more now knowing how you make them.

HOLY SHIT.

You, darling are flawless. Perfect tutorial, and I love how it looks, very clean. HOW YOU DO? WHAT MAGICZ YOU USE?

...Anyway...beautiful work! I can't wait to try it out! ♥

*tries to look flawless but fails miserably*

Well, TEH MAGICZ is all up there, there's not much more to it than that ;)
Thank you, bb! ♥ I can't wait to see what you'll come up with, and I know it will be flawless! :)

That gradient and what you did with it is fantastic! I love the idea of this icon and I'm blown away by your creativity.

[lil_art]

Thank you so much! I was really not that content with the final outcome, but the idea I liked, too. The gradient I have to partly blame on Tumblr, I see people use them there all the time, so I wanted to experiment a little with them. :)

I really need to start embracing gradient maps. Once again I am faced with another excellent example of how much they rock! Another fabulous tutorial from you! Thank you for writing it up and sharing it with us all. :D

[lil_art]

I assume you mean the gradients (since there aren't any gradient maps used here ;)) but I definitely agree, they are such handy tools, both gradients and gradient maps. I'm just beginning to explore them myself and they are so much fun :) Thank you!

Wowww, definitely trying this out tonight! Looks amazing!

[lil_art]

Thank you ♥ If you want, show me your results if you get anything out of this, I love to see them :)
