This is the last tutorial I owe from icon_talk's Ask the Maker meme other than the more general text guide. It was requested by the fabulously talented fuuurs.

This was requested by the ever so lovely likealight at the Ask the Maker Meme 2.0. I'm shamefully late (and even more shameful is the fact that I owe other people tutorials as well!), but here it is.

This tutorial is only partially translatable to other programs, because I use some of the PS specific tools. However, the more interesting parts (I think) are the ones that involve texture use, brush work and text.

Have a question for me about my graphics? Want to request a tutorial, walk-through or a general guide? TELL ME!

As some of you already know, I've graduated from university and am working my first 'grown-up' job. It's forty hours a week, which leaves me very little time to icon. So this is a round-up post of all the icons I've made over the last few months. Many of you will have seen these icons around at wonderous_stuff, but I never got around to posting them all together here. The lovely Nia (likealight) inspired me to 'clean up' with the new year here. As a result, this is a little bit of everything, both topic and style wise.

I'm always open to talk about my icons, or icons in general, so if there's anything you'd like to say or ask, don't hesitate to do so!

33 icons
12 x Doctor Who
04 x Harry Potter
02 x Glee
02 x Downton Abbey
03 x Game of Thrones
03 x Legend of the Seeker
02 x The Fall
04 x various movies (Amélie, Atonement, Hanna, The King's Speech)
01 x The Crimson Petal and the White
