Light & Day
PS7 tutorial for this icon.




Ok, well, someone asked for a tutorial of this icon a while ago, but I never got around to send it. So, I made it again. Hope you guys like it... I personally don't like the icon but hey, someone asked for it, so I didn't really choose the icon. Hope the tut's clear...

Layer 1


So, I cropped this picture. and than flipped it on the
other side. Don't close the picture, you'll need it later...

Woosh, I kind of did the same thing. That was a great tut! It was only difficult for me because I had to translate in to the Gimp, and not everything is the same. Mreh, here's what I got:

I changed a few things on purpose, but otherwise it was great! I've been trying to get a smaller image like that forever, but it's never turned out right ^___^

Thanks for the tut!

That is such a gorgeous gorgeous icon :D

And you made a great tutorial of it, very down to the point and just great. What you come up with ;)
I'm also glad to see you're not using like a bunch of layers, because sometimes when I'm reading tutorials you see so many layers and I wonder if I'm doing something wrong. I also read your other tutorial by the way, very simple but with such gorgeous effects. So yeah, thanks for sharing the tutorials, it's a great read.

Thank you for the nice comment!! I'm really glad you like it! And I'm also glad that it's clear... I'm french and sometimes I'm not sure I make sense when I try to write in english, so that's good!!
