[welcome to DIAMOND ICONS]

CLOSED.

Yup, the time has come. I've decided to close _diamondicons, but will still continue to make icons. After a crazy aim conversation between myself and _velvetdivorce, we decided to open a joint icon community for our work. All the people that come to this journal and comment on my work, I can't even begin to explain how much I appreciate you all. It's been a great run here and I hope to see you all at our new community, aviatorshades

01. johnny depp // obviously, my style has changed since even the first one of these i created. yeesh.
02. originally, the peach border was white but i thought it looked too boring
03. much much thanks to _joni for her brushes, they've saved my life
04. fly away // such a cute photo shoot with his gold teeth
05. do NOT alter, this is to remain textless
06. tiny text is decoration // oh my GUH, this was from a chocolat photo i'd never seen before
07. one of my favorite icons i've ever made of him. EVER.
08. from one of his many teen idol photoshoots
09. oh mort rainey *shakes head*
10. don't pet the teacher // i originally thought i wasn't going to do JS, but I lied. this is my favorite episode of S1, SOCUTEOMG
11. there's something i just really like about this icon, maybe because red is so hard to work with
12. the light was so perfect to work with in this photo
13. this is such a crazy picture, he's got a fork next to his head. it reminds me in The Little Mermaid when Scuttle uses a fork to brush his hair.
14. nowhere to run // - martha reeves & the vandellas
15. do NOT alter. i couldn't decide if i liked textless better
16. tiny text = lyrics from desperado - the eagles
17. such great heights - iron & wine
18. johnny // johnny hearts the greyscale
19. johnny be good // oh be still my heart
20. mister depp
21. cowboy hat love <3<3<3
22. tiny text = decoration
23. cloud of rebellion // so dark and moody he is
24. XXX // enough said
25. you saved me // heart heart hanson & brian
26. tiny text = decoration // yanked from irradiatedsoup's picspam. they really are the cutest OTP
27. D // i just love the light on this icon too
28. tiny text is decoration // roux again, i just love that man

NOTE: Okay, so I promised a 100 Depp Icon Post and I only came through with 28. It got to the point where I felt like I was staring at the same Johnny Depp pictures over and over and over again and I wasn't being really creative with them by the time 28 rolled around. Also, this was sort of a thing between me and deviant_bookend, but she unfortunately had a crash in her computer and EVERYTHING was wiped out. So I felt that I would post these and perhaps when Lani gets everything back up onto her computer we can do like a 21 Jump Street 50 icon post or something like that. But that's why there's only 28 and not 100, so I hope you all enjoy!

If you have any special pictures of Johnny Depp you'd love to see iconned, please send me any links that you can. It's getting a little tiring looking at the same pictures all the time (shocker, i know). Thanks guys!

New layout!

Tue, 17 May 2005 08:05:10 GMT

New layout over here - _diamondicons. It's a preview of what's to come, icon-wise. deviant_bookend and I have challenged ourselves to a 100 icon post of Johnny Depp, so no new icons over here until I can conquer that. I've got about 8 done so far, but if you want to see a "preview" of it, you can check out this layout, my new layout over at madeitsimple and my default icon over there as well.

Anyways, I know a lot of you will be getting out on summer vacation soon (don't worry and be patient - it will come to all of you soon!), so good luck on all your finals and take it easy!

New layout and a note

Mon, 02 May 2005 19:08:12 GMT

In my opinion, I make some of my best art while I'm procrastinating. New layout over here - _diamondicons

You probably won't see new icons here for awhile because I'm trying to get requests from the 500 members meme thing done. If you recommended people and you haven't requested yet, this is your last chance. I'm not going to hound you for requests anymore after this, SO THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE. I will also be deleting comments after I get your requests done so that I'm sure I got to it.

REMEMBER: LAST CHANCE FOR REQUESTS.

Tutorial #05: Rachel & Adam

Sun, 01 May 2005 19:43:36 GMT

Let's learn how to make this icon!

NOTE: This tutorial was made with Paint Shop Pro v.8.

LAYER ONE: Start off with this image and copy it 3 times.
Copy 1: Screen, 100% opacity
Copy 2: Lighten, 100% opacity
Copy 3: Soft Light, 100% opacity

LAYER TWO: New layer, fill with #DCC7A6. Set to Multiply at 68% opacity

LAYER THREE: Take this gradient and set to Screen at 100% opacity

LAYER FOUR: New layer, set to Overlay at 100% opacity. Copy the layer and keep the same opacity.

LAYER FIVE: Here's where the outlining comes into play. Using your paint brush tool, set it so that it's in the
round shape and the size is either 1 or 2. You can play around with the hardness of the brush, but try and keep it
as low as possible. Remember: the higher the hardness of the brush is, the more sharp edges you're going to have.
You want the brush to be as soft as possible. Now what you can do is zoom up on where you want to start outlining
so that it's easier to see. I've learned that it's much easier to start in one place and instead of holding your
mouse button down to outline, you can click a little bit ahead of it while holding the shift key. If that's a
little complicated, here's what I mean:

Click once in the place you want to start > Hold shift key > Click again in another place.

Your brush should connect the two points and it makes it easier to guide where you want your brush to go.

Okay, so now that you've got whatever you want outlined, set Layer Five to Screen. Then go to Adjust>Softness>Soften
and click that. Then copy Layer Five and you should have a softer outline of your image.

LAYER SIX: Set to Overlay at 100% opacity and fill it in with #000000. Copy the layer.
Copy of L6: Set to Color (Legacy) and use your eraser brush so that only Rachel & Adam are in black and white.

LAYER SEVEN: Going back to your paint brush, make it so that it's a size 3 and 100 hardness. Paint two borders at
the top and bottom of the icon

Add text and you're good to go!

A few notes:
- This tutorial was not designed for you to copy the icon. It was designed merely for you to learn new techniques.
- Need your text to stand out more? Convert your text into a Raster Layer (right click on vector layer and then click on Convert to
Raster Layer) and then go to Effects>3D Effects>Drop Shadow and you can play around with the settings in there.

Comments/Feedback would be very much appreciated. Any more tutorials requested, I would be happy to do so :D
