sentimental heart

2008-07-13T16:55:04Z

Thank you for the comments on my last post! I'm so happy you guys liked the textures & icons so much! It's so, so cool! :p

Life's been crazy at work lately, & I haven't had a minute for myself. So before I bring you new textures, I thought I'd share my two favorite colorings at the moment. I'm not sure this qualifies as tutorials, but this'll give you an idea of how I make icons...

LANDSCAPE

soft light 50% & screen 50%

soft light 100%

color burn 20%

multiply 20%

soft light 100%

#ed9666, soft light 50%

#c7cfe9, soft light 60%

multiply 80%

#ebd5ab, color burn 100%

#d3ced5, overlay 20%

ROAD TO SOMEWHERE

background

darken 60%

darken 100%

screen 50%

screen 60%

screen 80%

soft light 60%

screen 30%

overlay 60%

multiply 50%

multiply 60%

soft light 100%

multiply 80%

screen 60%

... Truth is, I play around with textures & settings until I like the result! ;)

Because sheepy_hollow asked for it (moooonths ago, I'm sorry it took so long!), I put together a little mix with some of the songs I've used as inspiration for the textures & etcetera. Hopefully, you'll hear something you'll like (& don't know already)!
