Anytime, I'm glad you like your icons~

Thank you! Here's what I've done with these two:

Thanks for the comment, fellow artist! Feel free to request any icon. I don't use High Pass. I either use smart sharpen or reduce noise. I will keep an eye on the oversharpening though, thanks!

Your first image doesn't seem to work, so I did the other two in the meantime.

You're too sweet, thank you for the comment. :D

No problem, I'll help you out~ However, I felt that simplicity was best here.

These icons are great! The colors are vivid and warm. It seems like you can really touch up anything. By chance, what would be your favorite piece that you've worked on so far? And what other pieces would you have liked to revamp, or do anything different to since time has passed?

Thanks, I can do that request for you.



My favorite piece so far would be the Shadow tag. He's one of my favorite Sonic characters bias, and I wanted to do justice to the banner. I spent quite a long time just trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the background. I have one early draft version saved. Yeah, it was becoming odd-looking no matter what I did to the coloring effect. Scrap it. At this point in my graphics-making, I had grown too dependent on c4ds. So, I experimented with smudging black and red as a start for the background. I applied several tricks, like clipping masks (splotches), slight vignette effects (darkened corners), textures (the red light), and everything I knew about curves and selective coloring. Yet, I don't feel like the effects distracted from Shadow. They merely emphasized the focal; the color scheme is still his predominant three colors and the effects are broken up, chaotic. I think everything fell right into place. Sometimes, I just over-effect and have geometric shapes ?? and flowers ?? and explosions ?? and abstract art ?? with images that have nothing to do with those patterns. I feel like sometimes, the background becomes more attention-grabbing than the actual picture I started with. Which... makes me feel like I'm not talented at all, but resourceful. If you throw enough ingredients into the pot, sooner or later you'll produce something.

So... I'd love to redo a number of pieces, or re-try working with green backgrounds in banners. They're all vivid, but are many evoking any kind of emotion from the viewer?

Icons are great because their small size restricts me from throwing down too many bombastic effects. That helps me get back to the basics. I can also do them within 5-15 minutes usually.

Explosions make everything better! Haha. I can see what you mean with the older tags through the icons you make now. They're different, but not in a "holy crap that's awful" way. The backgrounds aren't necessarily in your face and don't take away from what's there with the stock. I appreciate your insight into what you do! ^^ Thank you for sharing and thanks for the icon!

I just had to stop by and say that I am extremely impressed with your Photoshop skills, great job. Your art is a clear indication of your photoshop abilities, and I hope that when I've used it for that long I will be at least half as good as you. :) I'm about a year into avidly using it and I really enjoy the program. Although it's typical and a lot of people use it I do believe hardly anyone seems to master it or take many risks/explore the possibilities.

Great job, if anything you've inspired me to keep working on my photoshop skills. I look forward to seeing more, of course!

Thanks for the lovely words. For as long as I've had Photoshop, I wish I were better. D: Make use of every tutorial and resource you can come across and draw inspiration from others... I'm happy to have been able to share some of my art with you all. Looking forward to delivering more goodies... :3

Henshin!
You're welcome. They look great on ya. :)

If that doesn’t work, this would be alright instead:
