I have not the patience to write all the awards, so if you're curious head over to the award post.
I'll try and get it up to date soon.

Huge thanks to the icon table generator. The html was the reason why I haven't posted earlier. I am le lazy. XD

Plug: Check out texture_lims. It's a Last Icon Maker Standing community that I recently took over and will start the next session in one week's time. Each week the contestants receive textures that they have to use in their icons submitted. Head over and sign up for the next session. Newbies are welcome, and remember it's not restricted to any fandoms. ^^

*24. The only text in the icon must be a book title of your choice. Cute the title and its author in the icon post.

My Comments/Explanations:
#04. I chose the image because of the many metallic necklaces she has. I guess though that the focus kind of shifted off of them. :|
#05. Those are the last words of her song Carbon.
#09. To me that image of her breastfeeding a piglet says a story of a woman who lost her child.
#10. Originally I wanted to focus on the shape of a pregnant woman, but I guess the pattern in the background counts as shapes.
#14. A quote from her song Professional Widow.
#19. She's lying on glass in the picture.
#20. I think an idea of yourself x4 is a bit like an illusion.
#21. Tori in the 80s.

Feedback would be much appreciated.

It's not that complicated, but now that I've upgraded to S2 I have tags which is going to be easier for people to navitage through. So, you people, as "consumers", how do you like it?

19th post - 28 icons

2006-10-18T17:37:43Z

I have 28 icons from the manga Berserk by Kentaro Miura.

01. Luminescence	02. Relationship	03. Shine	04. Bleed	05. The Letter N*

06. Feminine	07. Physique	08. Law	09. Victory	10. Spectrum

16. Conceal	17. Scent	18. Addiction	19. Gratitute	20. Special

21. Playing Cards*	22. Battle	23. Loss	24. Revolution	25. Dream

Mod's Comments:
*05. The subject or text in the icon must begin with the letter "N".
*12. The subject or text in the icon must begin with the letter "J".
*21. The icon may contain literal cards or reference at least one card type (example, King, Jack, Spades, Hearts) or name a hand (example, royal flush, full house).

My Comments/Explanations:
#02 - I've made an icon very similar to this, but this page is made to be iconed! ^^ theirloveissokawaii~♥
#03 - It says "shining star" in case it's unclear.
#10 - That character is a witch and at that frame she's traveling through time and space. I wanted to fit it on the icon, but it looked better without it.
#13 - Those circles from his back are actually wings. XD
#14 - The text reads "Nullius Filius" which, according to Dictionary.com is "no one's son" or a bastard in Latin.
#16 - What I meant for this icon to display is "can't hide it (no more)".
#20 - According to Thesaurus.com the word 'marked' counts as a synonym to 'special' and the fact that this character is 'marked' or 'branded' as it is put in the manga is very important to the plot. I know it may sound far-fetched, but it should be obvious to those who've read the manga.

Tutorial03

2006-10-08T17:38:19Z

Start out with the base:

click the base to see full image

Duplicate it and desaturate it:
->

Duplicate the base and put it on Overlay 100%:
->

Take a texture (by kaien_kun) and put it on Normal 100% between the overlay and desaturated base:
->

To make the image clear, but still keep the texture, just duplicate the desaturated base, place it above the texture and set it to Screen 100%:
->

And just a little colour added:
Take a light texture (by _iconographer) set it on Vivid Light 19%, and fiddle with the color until it fits:
->->

Then just slap on some text and you're done:

This is a very simple thing to do, but it can be used in different things.
For example, icons made with this tutorial:

Tutorial02

2006-10-08T17:37:17Z

Image heavy.

We're going from

to

Wanna see how?

Start with your base touch-ups. I picked a base from the video game Magna Carta, artwork by Hyung-tae Kim.

Copy your base and set it to Screen 91%, copy it again, drag to the top and set to Linear Burn 33%:
-> ->

Next I used the gradient map (Image->Adjustments->Gradiant Map) and picked colors for it to look so:

Set to Darken 100% for this:

Now, I wanted her clothes colored differently, so I desided to desaturate them. I used this technique. Use the default paint brush to draw over the clothes in a dark-grayish color (#414141) and put it on Saturarion 100%:
-> ->
Now the clothes stand less out.

Next I took a texture by tsukicon, changed it's colors and put it on Overlay 100%. Often it's better to change the colors after you put it on overlay to see what best fits the icon.
-> ->

I then took a texture by arisubox and did the same, but put to Soft Light 100%:
-> ->

Now for the coloring. We start by giving the clothes some base color. Same method as last time, different color (#587A8D), set to Overlay 100%:
-> ->

And then again with the third color (#38431E) set to Color 100%:
-> ->

I felt it was a tad too dark on that stage so I copied the base, dragged the copy on top, desaturated it and fiddled with the Brightness/Contrast (Image->Adjustments->Brightness/Contrast), and put it on Soft Light 53%:
->

Now, this was just some weird idea that actually worked.
Again, copy the base and with the gradient map make something blue and purply. Put it on Soft Light 100%:
->

This is the step where you can see your effort from before come to life! Take a pretty texture. I picked one by envious_forms. Set it to Soft Light 100%:
->
See the pretty colors! 8D
But we want more!

Take another texture. Mine is from colorfilter. Put it on Overlay 46%. I flipped it over because I thought it looked nicer that way:
-> ->

See how the two new layers interact with the colors beneath?

Now, I felt that the background was too empty, so I picked another pretty layer, changed the colors (Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation) and set it to Darken 100%. But since I wanted it only to affect the background I put on a layer mask (the icon on the layer palette, dark box with a white circle) and blocked the girl out:
-> -> ->

Now just add a border.
->

The big P I used is a brush (credit unknown) with a 2 px stroke (#6E1100) (Layer->Layer Style->Stroke) placed beneath the two textures on top.
The text is Minion with the same Stroke effect.

And you're done!
I flipped the image (made a new document from this and flattened the image) but they're both nice!
or

Your layer palette should look something like this:

Tutorial01

2006-10-08T17:35:53Z

I started off with this image of Calinzt from Magna Carta by Hyung-tae Kim:

click to see real-scale image

I selected this base:

Duplicate the base, enter Image->Adjustments->Gradient Map
There I selected this gradient by meleada

I played with the settings until I got this:

This will be our base.

Next I copied the original base and set it to Pin Light 100%. That should give you this:

Next I took a gradient by boutondor and set it to Lighten 100%:
->

That looks too muddy so I copied the base layer, desaturated it, placed it on top of the layer palette and set it to Soft Light 100%:
->

Next I used a gradient by boutondor, placed it on top of the layer palette and set to Hue 100%.
->

Now, we've worked hard on that red colour so we don't want that to disappear altogether.
So, I made a layer mask for this gradient.
Then selected a brush (credit unknown)

click to see full-sized brush
I placed the brush on the image, so that the eye of the moon was over the eye of Calinzt, like so:

Then you get this:

Now, call me crazy but this colour combination made no sense to me.
So I went to Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation, also known as Ctrl-U, and fiddled around with is until I got something I liked, i.e. this:

Next I took a texture by arisubox, put it on top the layer palette and set it to Darken 100%. That gives the icon a softer background.
->

Now, you can always stop here, but I decided to add a little somethingsomething.
I picked this texture by samuraiblues, placed it on top of the pin layer of Calinzt we did in step 3, and set it to Screen 46%.
->

Then I got a lighttexture by dearest, resized and cropped to my liking.

Click to see full-size texture

This is what I picked:

Set that just below the background texture, so it'll be second from the top.
I didn't want the texture to cover Calinzt face so I drew it down like so:

Then I set it to Screen 64%:

Then I picked this brush by isabellecs in red and placed it on a new layer right under the lighttexture in Pin Light 100%.
->

Then I added a border brush, credit unknown. :|

And we're done.
Now you should have a layer palette looking somewhat like this:

So, I made a songset to the song The Velorium Camper I: Faint of Heart by Coheed and Cambria, object being artwork of Hyung-Tae Kim, from the video games Magna Carta, Magna Carta Crimson Stigmata, Oxide 2: Carta Luminous and War of Genesis III: Part I & II.

The song you can find here. Mirror 1. Mirror 2. If you hit a broken or an expired link just comment and I'll fix it.

Table of context:

Now, comment, credit, and enjoy.
I will take requests of alterations, but please don't customize yourselves. I like these.

The Velorium Camper I: Faint of Heart
by Coheed And Cambria

With the worries that I'd give her in they told the worst of me
My wanting just to hold your neck in my arms and feel me squeeze
No I'm not going to give you what you want so if you please
The sin that shapes your voice carries my ears in this new disease

did somebody take your "tongue"
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but I don't want to sleep without so I bid to you goodnight
tonight sleep tight my love

the anxious through the calming storm you'll sit as you pray for rain
I'll touch it if you ask me to but how is up to you
no I'm not going to let you get up if you struggle willingly
I'll favor all your form to show you how it's been done to me

Did someboy take your "tongue"
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but I don't want to sleep without so i bid to you goodnight
tonigh sleep tight my love
with all the words you say ...you'll save

you were so well behaved
as you arched and made your way
this gift for you engraved the shift as stretch your legs
you were so well behaved
you were so well
who taught these tricks that made...you were so well behaved

if the world stops turning girl you better not stop when I say
if there was nothing you could do to stop it why'd you try?
then the ground starts parting through the silence as you woke up the dead
everything here dies alone...
but I'm not quite sure what you've been told
on Labor Day
I'm not starting with you but the faint of hearts
Will worries weigh?
but i'm not quite sure what this unfolds
on Labor Day
I'm not starting with you but the faint of hearts

did somebody take your tongue
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but i don't want to sleep without so i bid to you goodnight tonight sleep tight my love
with all the words you say

did somebody take your tongue
in worries of the words that you couldn't say if they could've saved them from
but i don't want to sleep without so i bid to you goodnight tonight sleep tight my gun.
