Icons by Curtana

Yesterday's set of Dr. Horrible icons seem to have gone over well, so I put a rush on finishing these ones! Spoilers through the entire show, obviously. Hope you enjoy them, please comment and credit if you take any :)

Once again, screencaps were by telltale, with many thanks!

18 Dr. Horrible Pt. 1 icons and 9 Watchmen trailer icons, because I understand that's what the kids these days are into. In MY day, we didn't have none of these fancy-pants blogs, and Nite Owl was a doughy guy in an ugly costume, not the Goddamn Batman! (Oh man, Watchmen better not suck, or the entire internet might just snap and kill someone.)

(Dr. Horrible caps are by telltale and Watchmen caps are by meivocis)

Please comment and credit if you take any, and enjoy :)

Three tutorials on colouring techniques, using CS3 - Levels, Selective Colour, and Curves are involved at various stages, so I suspect they won't be translateable, alas. I'd say these are intermediate to advanced; I won't be explaining really basic Photoshop terms and concepts here. These ideas can work for many dark or low-contrast images to help brighten them up, but I don't advise punching in exactly the same numbers I've used, because your results will depend on the base you're using. Instead, I'll try to explain what I was aiming for with each step, and you can adapt it to suit your own image. That said, I'd love to see what results you can come up with! I hope this is helpful - let me know if there's anything that's unclear.

Various people have asked how I go about making my text-only icons. This isn't really a tutorial for any specific icon, more of a general guide. I use Photoshop CS3, so any specific directions are for that program, but the general ideas should be quite translateable.
