It's a new awards community that focuses on individual icons rather than the makers' full body of work. I think this sounds really cool cause it gives anyone with one stellar icon a chance! There are lots of cool categories and it looks like the nominations will start tomorrow - guess I gotta go do some icon browsing again :D

[livejournal.com profile] reebeecaa asked for a tutorial for this vintage-styled SPN icon, so here it is :>


Made using Photoshop CS5.
Difficulty: intermediate (or maybe easy but long!)
Translatable: not directly

Er, this tutorial is one big WTF. I'm honestly a bit weirded out by my process here. This icon was made during one of my inspiration droughts, which is when I just take random steps hoping they will lead to something good, lol. If anything, this is a tutorial on how to really screw an icon up and then salvage what can be salvaged :D

Random process is random )

And if you have other tutorial requests/general questions for me, my Ask the Maker thread is open!
